    Abstract: A sample protection device for a scanning electron microscope, the sample protection device comprising: a shell; an accommodating part having an accommodating space for accommodating a sample, the accommodating part being arranged in the shell in such a manner that the accommodating part can move relative to the shell, such that the accommodating part at least partially enters the shell or moves out of the shell; a sealing part connected to the accommodating part and configured to seal between the accommodating part and the shell when the accommodating part is at least partially accommodated in the shell; and a driving member configured to drive relative movement of the shell relative to the accommodating part.

    Abstract: A method for TEM sample preparation with backside milling of a sample extracted from a workpiece in an energetic-beam instrument such as a FIB-SEM is disclosed. The method includes rotating a nanomanipulator probe tip holding an extracted sample by an angle calculated according to the geometry of the apparatus; moving the instrument stage to position a TEM grid in a fixed holder so that the plane of the TEM grid is substantially parallel to the required plane for the TEM sample; attaching the extracted sample to the TEM grid; and, tilting the stage by a stage-tilt angle, while maintaining the holder in the fixed orientation with respect to the stage, so that the axis of the ion beam is made substantially parallel to the required plane for the TEM sample; thereby placing the extracted sample into position for allowing backside milling to prepare a thinned cross-sectional sample for TEM viewing.

    Abstract: A charged particle beam device that appropriately maintains a throughput of the device for each of specimens different in a gas emission volume from each other is provided. A scanning electron microscope includes an electron source, a specimen stage, a specimen chamber, and an exchange chamber, and further includes a vacuum gauge that measures an internal pressure of the exchange chamber, a time counting unit that counts time taken when a measurement result by the vacuum gauge has reached a predetermined degree of vacuum, and an integral control unit that performs comparative calculation and determination based on a measurement result by the time counting unit and integral control based on a process flow. And, the integral control unit controls changing of a content of a subsequent process based on a shift of the degree of vacuum of the exchange chamber.
