    Abstract: An ion pump and a charged particle beam device each includes two opposite flat-plate cathodes, an anode with a cylindrical shape having openings that face the respective flat-plate cathodes, a voltage application unit configured to apply a potential higher than potentials of the flat-plate cathodes to the anode, a magnetic field application unit configured to apply a magnetic field along an axial direction of the cylindrical shape of the anode, and a cathode bar arranged within the anode. The surface of the cathode bar is formed with a material that forms a non-evaporative getter alloy film on the anode or the flat-plate cathodes.

    Abstract: To provide a small electron gun capable of keeping a high vacuum pressure used for an electron microscope and an electron-beam drawing apparatus. An electron gun constituted by a nonevaporative getter pump, a heater, a filament, and an electron-source positioning mechanism is provided with an opening for rough exhausting and its automatically opening/closing valve, and means for ionizing and decomposing an inert gas or a compound gas for the nonevaporative getter pump. It is possible to keep a high vacuum pressure of 10−10 Torr without requiring an ion pump by using a small electron gun having a height and a width of approximately 15 cm while emitting electrons from the electron gun.

    Abstract: A sputter ion pump with a cathode having blades arranged radially adjacent the cylindrical hollow cells of the anode.This arrangement increases the probability of grazing collisions useful for the formation of fast inert gas molecules, particularly argon. This improves the pumping speed and the speed stability in time.
