The technique of preparing an electron microscope sample by a focused ion beam processing method for not only semiconductor materials but also various metal materials, resin materials, and inorganic colloid materials, etc. has been developed. As a result, due to local temperature rise during ion beam processing,
It has come to face the problem that the target sample structure changes or the material changes. In the first place, the sputtering phenomenon uses the principle of repelling the elements that make up the sample with a charged particle beam, so when processing for a long time or using a strong beam even for a short time, the local phenomenon occurs. This is because a typical temperature rise is sufficiently predicted.

As the sample, a surface-treated steel sheet subjected to a phosphate chemical conversion treatment was used. About 5 μm of the surface layer was an inorganic film containing phosphate, and prismatic crystals were observed by scanning electron microscope observation. It has been known that when focused ion beam processing is performed by an ordinary method, the prismatic crystal is broken and becomes amorphous during the processing. First, to measure the temperature, an alumel-chromel thermocouple having a diameter of 20 μm was used as a contact-type temperature measurement unit. In the focused ion beam apparatus, the tip of the thermocouple was irradiated with a Ga ion beam at the point where the W (CO) 6 tungsten carbonate gas was released, and tungsten was locally deposited by beam-assisted deposition. The sample was fixed.

As a result of the conventional Ga ion beam processing, it was found that the temperature locally increased to 150 ° C. during the processing. At the portion where the temperature increased, it was confirmed by the subsequent electron microscope observation that the prismatic crystals were made amorphous, and it was found that it was necessary to study a processing method for suppressing the temperature increase to 50 ° C. or less. Based on this finding,
(a) The ion beam irradiation current was reduced to 1/5, and although it took time, a target sample for an electron microscope could be produced. [Embodiment 2] By introducing a heating stage into a focused ion beam apparatus, a reaction analysis experiment in a local region is possible.
