Abstract:
A charged particle beam device is provided in which axis adjustment as a superimposing lens is facilitated by aligning an axis of an electrostatic lens resulting from a deceleration electric field with an axis of a magnetic field lens. The charged particle beam device includes: an electron source; an objective lens that focuses a probe electron beam from the electron source on a sample; a first beam tube and a second beam tube through each of which the probe electron beam passes; a deceleration electrode arranged between the first beam tube and a sample; a first voltage source that forms a deceleration electric field for the probe electron beam between the first beam tube and the deceleration electrode by applying a first potential to the first beam tube; and a first moving mechanism that moves a position of the first beam tube.
