Abstract:
An object of the invention is to provide a charged particle beam apparatus capable of achieving both acquisition of an image having high resolution of an inspection target pattern and suppression of a beam irradiation amount when a specific pattern is an inspection target from a highly integrated pattern group. In order to achieve the object, a charged particle beam apparatus is proposed in which at least one of a stage and a deflector is controlled so as to move a field of view from a reference position to an inspection or measurement target pattern, the number of objects included in a first image obtained by scanning a position of the field of view in a moving process of the field of view with a charged particle beam of a first irradiation condition is counted, and in a case where the number of the objects satisfies a predetermined condition, a second image is generated based on scanning with a charged particle beam of a second irradiation condition of a higher dose than that of the first irradiation condition.

Claim (Index 6):
The charged particle beam apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the control device counts the number of the objects included in the first image obtained by scanning with the charged particle beam of the first irradiation condition, controls at least one of the stage and the deflector so that the field of view is moved toward the inspection or measurement target pattern in a case where the number of the objects satisfies a predetermined condition, and generates a third image based on scanning with a charged particle beam of a third irradiation condition which is a lower dose than the second irradiation condition.
