Abstract
The present disclosure pertains to a beam deflection device capable of properly deflecting a beam. The present disclosure provides a beam deflection device for deflecting a beam inside a charged particle beam device, said beam deflection device being provided with: one or more electrostatic deflectors () each having a pair of electrodes disposed so as to face each other across a beam path in a first direction orthogonal to the beam path; and one or more magnetic deflectors () each having a pair of magnetic poles disposed so as to face each other across the beam path in a second direction orthogonal to the beam path and to the first direction. When viewed from an incident direction of the beam, the one or more electrostatic deflectors and the one or more magnetic deflectors are stacked along the beam path such that the pair of electrodes at least partially overlap with the pair of magnetic poles and with a gap between the pair of magnetic poles.
