    Abstract: A charged particle beam apparatus includes an electron beam irradiation unit that irradiates a sample with electron beams along a first irradiation axis. A rotation stage holds the sample and has a rotation axis in a direction perpendicular to the first irradiation axis. An ion beam irradiation unit irradiates the sample with ion beams along a second irradiation axis that is substantially parallel to the rotation axis to process the sample into a needle shape. A detection unit detects at least one of charged particles and X rays generated via the sample by the irradiation with the ion beams or the electron beams, and a gaseous ion beam irradiation unit irradiates the sample with gaseous ion beams. A control unit controls the apparatus to incrementally rotate the rotation stage repeatedly by a predetermined angle to rotate the rotation stage by 360° in conjunction with irradiating the entire surface of the needle-shaped sample in a circumferential direction with the gaseous ion beams to remove ions implanted during processing the sample by the ion beams.

    Abstract: A composite charged particle beam apparatus includes a FIB column for irradiating a thin sample with a FIB and a GIB column for irradiating the thin sample with a GIB. The thin sample is placed on a sample stage, and a tilt unit tilts the thin sample about a tilt axis of the sample stage, the tilt axis being orthogonal to the FIB irradiation axis and being located inside a plane formed by the FIB irradiation axis and the GIB irradiation axis. A tilt sample holder is mounted on the sample stage and fixes the thin sample such that a cross-sectional surface of the thin sample is tilted at a constant angle with respect to the GIB irradiation axis and the azimuth angle of the GIB column can be changed by rotation of the sample stage.
