Abstract
An object of the invention is to correct an aberration or a defocus of an electron beam for irradiation, and control an influence on a deflector by a fluctuation in an electric field of an electrostatic lens. The invention provides a charged particle beam apparatus including a deflector that deflects a charged particle beam with which a specimen is irradiated, an objective lens that focuses the charged particle beam on the specimen, an electrostatic lens that includes a part of the objective lens and to which a voltage for correcting the aberration or the defocus of the charged particle beam is applied, and an constant electric field applying electrode that is provided between the deflector and the electrostatic lens and to which a constant voltage having a same sign with the voltage applied to the electrostatic lens is applied.
