Abstract
The electron beam device includes a source of electrons and an objective deflector. The electron beam device obtains an image on the basis of signals of secondary electrons, etc. which are emitted from a material by an electron beam being projected. The electron beam device further includes a bias chromatic aberration correction element, further including an electromagnetic deflector which is positioned closer to the source of the electrons than the objective deflector, and an electrostatic deflector which has a narrower interior diameter than the electromagnetic deflector, is positioned within the electromagnetic deflector such that the height-wise position from the material overlaps with the electromagnetic deflector, and is capable of applying an offset voltage. It is thus possible to provide an electron beam device with which it is possible to alleviate geometric aberration (parasitic aberration) caused by deflection and implement deflection over a wide field of view with high resolution.
