Charged particle beam device

Abstract

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a charged particle beam device that can suppress an influence to a device generated according to the preliminary exhaust. In order to achieve the object, suggested is a charged particle beam device including a vacuum sample chamber that maintains an atmosphere around a sample to be irradiated with a charged particle beam in a vacuum state; and a preliminary exhaust chamber to which a vacuum pump for vacuuming an atmosphere of the sample introduced into the vacuum sample chamber is connected, in which the vacuum sample chamber is a box-shaped body including a top plate, and a portion between the top plate and a side wall of the box-shaped body positioned below the top plate includes a portion in which the top plate and the side wall are not in contact with each other.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
