Title:
CHARGED PARTICLE DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/158739
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a charged particle device that prevents the influence of vibrations without narrowing the movement range of a specimen stage and can control the mutual displacement of a charged particle generation unit and the specimen stage. The charged particle device (1) has a cylindrical column (2) on the upper side and has a specimen chamber (3) with a hollow interior at the lower end of the column (2). The specimen chamber (3) is divided into an upper unit (3a) that has greater vertical vibration than horizontal vibration and a lower unit (3b) that has greater horizontal vibration. The column (2) is provided with a charged particle gun and specimen detection system. Specimen stage support bodies (4) that support the column (1) and a specimen stage (5) are both supported by the upper part (3a) of the specimen chamber and the central axis of the column (1) and the central axis of the specimen stage support bodies (4) are configured in such a manner that they coincide or are parallel. Even if the column (2) or the specimen chamber (3) is subjected to ambient sound, the column (2) and the specimen stage (5) are both fixed to the upper part (3a) of the specimen chamber and vibrate in unison with each other, so mutual displacement between the charged particle generator and the specimen is less likely to occur.
