Abstract: A gas field ionization source in which an ion beam current is stable for a long time is achieved in an ion beam apparatus equipped with a field ionization source that supplies gas to a chamber, ionizes the gas, and applies the ion beam to a sample. The ion beam apparatus includes an emitter electrode having a needle-like extremity; a chamber inside which the emitter electrode is installed; a gas supply unit that supplies the gas to the chamber; a cooling unit that is connected to the chamber and cools the emitter electrode; a discharge type exhaust unit that exhausts gas inside the chamber; and a trap type exhaust unit that exhausts gas inside the chamber. The exhaust conductance of the discharge type exhaust unit is larger than the total exhaust conductance of the trap type exhaust unit.

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide an ion beam device capable of forming a nanopyramid stably having one atom at the front end of an emitter tip even when the cooling temperature is lowered in order to observe a sample with a high signal-to-noise ratio. In the present invention, the ion beam device, wherein an ion beam generated from an electric field-ionized gas ion source is irradiated onto the sample to observe or process the sample, holds the temperature of the emitter tip at a second temperature higher than a first temperature for generating the ion beam and lower than room temperature, sets the extraction voltage to a second voltage higher than the first voltage used when generating the ion beam, and causes field evaporation of atoms at the front end of the emitter tip, when forming the nanopyramid having one atom at the front end of the emitter tip.
