Patent number: 11742177Abstract: Automated processing is provided. A charged particle beam apparatus includes: an image identity degree determination unit determining whether an identity degree is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the identity degree indicating a degree of identity between a processing cross-section image that is an SEM image obtained through observation of a cross section of the sample by a scanning electron microscope, and a criterion image that is the processing cross-section image previously registered; and a post-determination processing unit performing a predetermined processing operation according to a result of the determination by the image identity degree determination unit.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2021Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: HITACHI HIGH-TECH SCIENCE CORPORATIONInventors: Ayana Muraki, Tatsuya Asahata, Atsushi Uemoto
