    摘要: A vibration damping system for a charged particle beam apparatus according to the present invention includes a column through which a charged particle beam passes, a vibration detection unit that detects vibration of the column, a damping mechanism that applies vibration to the column to suppress the vibration of the column, and a control device that controls the damping mechanism. The control device includes a damping gain control unit that amplifies a detection signal of the vibration detection unit with a set amplification factor and outputs an amplified detection signal as a control signal to the damping mechanism, and a saturation suppression unit that adjusts a feedback gain value of the damping gain control unit according to a detection signal of the vibration detection unit, a signal of the damping mechanism, and a maximum output value and a minimum output value of the damping mechanism.

    摘要: A charged particle beam apparatus includes a sample stage on which a sample is mounted, a control device that controls to drive the sample stage, a linear scale that detects a position of the sample stage, laser position detection means for detecting the position of the sample stage, an optical microscope that observes the sample mounted on the sample stage, and a barrel that irradiates the sample mounted on the sample stage with an electron beam, and generates a secondary electron. Image data of a first correction sample mounted on the sample stage is acquired by the optical microscope, and position data of the sample stage is detected by the laser position detection means. The sample stage is positioned with respect to the barrel based on the image data acquired by the optical microscope and the position data of the sample stage detected by the laser position detection means.
