Abstract
A final energy filter includes a first adjustment electrode portion, an intermediate electrode portion, and a second adjustment electrode portion. The final energy filter further includes a power supply unit. The power supply unit is configured such that it applies the voltages separately to the first adjustment electrode portion, the intermediate electrode portion, and the second adjustment electrode portion. The power supply unit applies voltages to an upstream auxiliary electrode portion, a deflection electrode portion and a downstream auxiliary electrode portion, respectively, such that the energy range of ion beam in a first region between the upstream auxiliary electrode portion and the deflection electrode portion is approximately equal to that in a second region between the deflection electrode portion and the downstream auxiliary electrode portion.
