Abstract:
Disclosed is a charged particle beam apparatus for automatically preparing a sample piece from a sample. The apparatus includes a charged particle beam irradiation optical system configured to irradiate an object with a charged particle beam, a stage configured to move with the sample placed thereon, a sample piece transferring device configured to hold and transport the sample piece separated and extracted from the sample, a holder fixing base configured to hold a sample piece holder to which the sample piece is to be transferred, an electrical conduction sensor configured to detect electrical conduction between the sample piece transferring device and an object, and a computer configured to set a time management mode when electrical conduction between the sample piece transferring device and the sample piece is not detected when the sample piece transferring device and the sample piece are connected to each other.

Claim (Index 2):
The charged particle beam apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the computer cancels the time management mode in case the electrical conduction sensor detects electrical conduction between the sample piece transferring device and the sample piece holder when connecting the sample piece held by the sample piece transferring device and the sample piece holder while the time management mode is set.
