Title:
CHARGED PARTICLE MICROSCOPE AND ION MICROSCOPE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/096227
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In order to provide a safe and environmentally-friendly charged gas particle microscope that exhibits a superior ionized gas-utilization efficiency and economic efficiency, the gas field ionization ion source of a charged particle microscope is equipped with a vacuum chamber in which are provided a vacuum chamber evacuation mechanism, an acicular emitter tip, an extraction electrode disposed facing the emitter tip, and a mechanism for supplying a gas to the vicinity of the emitter tip, and is configured so that the gas in the region around the tip of the acicular ion emitter is ionized and extracted as an ion beam. Therein, the evacuation mechanism and the gas supply mechanism are connected, and a material for adhering the gas to be ionized is disposed between the evacuation mechanism and the gas supply mechanism.
