Ion beam device
An ion beam device according to the present invention includes a gas field ion source ( 1 ) including an emitter tip ( 21 ) supported by an emitter base mount ( 64 ), a ionization chamber ( 15 ) including an extraction electrode ( 24 ) and being configured to surround the emitter tip ( 21 ), and a gas supply tube ( 25 ). A center axis line of the extraction electrode ( 24 ) overlaps or is parallel to a center axis line ( 14 A) of the ion irradiation light system, and a center axis line ( 66 ) passing the emitter tip ( 21 ) and the emitter base mount ( 64 ) is inclinable with respect to a center axis line of the ionization chamber ( 15 ). Accordingly, an ion beam device including a gas field ion source capable of adjusting the direction of the emitter tip is provided.
1. An ion beam device comprising:
a gas field ion source that generates an ion beam;
an ion irradiation light system that guides the ion beam from the gas field ion source to a sample;
a vacuum chamber that accommodates the gas field ion source and the ion irradiation light system;
a sample chamber that accommodates a sample stage for holding the sample; and
a cooling mechanism of a gas circulating method that cools the gas field ion source; wherein
wherein the cooling mechanism includes first and second compressors, and generates cooling using a first gas generated by the first compressor to cool the gas field ion source, and further uses helium gas as a second gas that is a moving cooling medium and is circulated by the second compressor to cool the gas field ion source.
2. The ion beam device according to claim 1 , wherein the gas field ion source and the vacuum chamber have a cover that reduces noise from the first and second compressors.
3. The ion beam device according to claim 1 , further comprising a mechanism that reduces noise generated by the first and second compressors which is transmitted to the ion beam device.
4. The ion beam device according to claim 1 , wherein the sample stage is a side entry type, and includes a mechanism for fine moving of the side entry type stage.
