Patent number: 11417496Abstract: The problem addressed by the present disclosure is to provide a stage device, a charged particle beam device, and a vacuum device, with which it is possible to increase the speed and the acceleration of positioning and to suppress the leakage of a magnetic field. As a means to resolve this problem, a stage device 100 comprises a support stage 10, a floating mechanism 20, and a movement stage 30. The movement stage 30 has a propulsion-applying unit 36, and the support stage 10 has a propulsion-receiving unit 11. The stage device 100 is configured so that when the movement stage 30 moves and the propulsion-applying unit 36 contacts or approaches the propulsion-receiving unit 11, the propulsion-applying unit 36 applies propulsion in the movement direction to the propulsion-receiving unit 11.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2019Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Motohiro Takahashi, Takanori Kato, Naruo Watanabe, Hironori Ogawa
