A fine working method of a crystalline material comprises forming an ion injection region in a crystalline material by irradiating a focused ion beam on a crystalline material and subsequently removing a predetermined region of the ion injection region by applying a chemical etching treatment. The method includes performing ion injection where no removal of the predetermined region occurs even if the crystalline material is exposed to an etchant. The predetermined region is removed by injecting an etchant into the ion injection region.
