Abstract:
A focused ion beam apparatus, including: a specimen transferring unit having a probe to which a micro-specimen extracted from a specimen, can be joined through a joining deposition film, for transferring the micro-specimen to a sample holder; and wherein, the specimen transferring unit holds the probe which is joined through the joining deposition film to the micro-specimen extracted from the specimen, and the sample stage moves so that the sample holder mounted on the holder clasp is provided into an irradiated range of the focused ion beam, and the specimen transferring unit approaches the probe to the sample holder, and the gas nozzle supplies the deposition gas so that the micro-specimen is fixed to the sample holder through a fixing deposition film, and the ion beam irradiating optical system irradiates the focused ion beam to the micro-specimen fixed to the sample holder for various procedures.
