Abstract:
The objective of the present invention is to provide a charged-particle beam device capable of moving a field-of-view to an exact position even when moving the field-of-view above an actual sample. In order to attain this objective, a charged-particle beam device is proposed comprising an objective lens whereby a charged-particle beam is focused and irradiated onto a sample: a field-of-view moving deflector for deflecting the charged-particle beam; and a stage onto which the sample is placed. The charged-particle beam device is equipped with a control device which controls the lens conditions for the objective lens in such a manner that the charged-particle been focuses on the sample which is to be measured; moves the field-of-view via the field-of-view moving deflector while maintaining the lens conditions; acquires a plurality of images at each position among a reference pattern extending in a specified direction; and uses the plurality of acquired images to adjust the signal supplied to the field-of-view moving deflector.
