Abstract
The purpose of the present disclosure is to propose a charged particle beam device capable of allowing specifying of a distance between irradiation points for a pulsed beam and a time between irradiation points. Proposed is a charged particle beam device equipped with a beam column which has a scanning deflector for sweeping a beam and directs the beam swept by the scanning deflector onto a sample in pulses, wherein: the distance between irradiation points of the pulsed beam is set such that feature quantities of one or more specific regions of an image obtained on the basis of an output of a detector satisfy a predetermined state; the duration of time between irradiation points for the pulsed beam is changed when in a state in which the set distance between irradiation points is set or in a state in which multiple distances between irradiation points determined on the basis of the specified distance between irradiation points are set; and the beam emission is carried out according to the duration of time between irradiation points whereby the feature quantities of the multiple specific regions of the image obtained on the basis of the output of the detector satisfy the predetermined state.
