Abstract

See full text

A charged particle beam system capable of reducing contamination has a sample chamber (15) in which the sample (S) is irradiated with a charged particle beam and a receptacle chamber (21) which is connected into the sample chamber (15) via an isolation valve (25) and is connected to the ambient via a door (26). A transport mechanism (22) conveys the sample (S) from the ambient via the door (26) into the receptacle chamber (21) and via the isolation valve (25) into the sample chamber (15). A cleaning portion supplies active oxygen into the receptacle chamber which can then be evacuated by a vacuum pump.
