Abstract:
A processing apparatus and a processing method are provided, which use a charged particle beam device that achieves defection of secondary electrons/reflected electrons at a large angle and cancels out noises of an electromagnetic deflector and an electrostatic deflector to suppress a position shift of a primary electron beam caused by circuit noises of a primary beam/secondary beam separation circuit. In the charged particle beam device that includes an electronic optical system radiating a concentrated electron beam onto a sample placed on a stage to perform scanning and captures an image of the sample, a reference signal and a signal generation unit of a voltage-source control signal applied to the electrostatic deflector generating the electrostatic deflector and a reference signal and a signal generation unit of a current-source control signal applied to the electromagnetic deflector generating a magnetic field are made common in an overlapping-electromagnetic-deflector control unit that controls a path of the secondary electrons/reflected electrons incident on a detector, and frequency characteristics and phase characteristics of the voltage control signal are coincident with those of the current-source control signal.
