Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a vacuum carrier of simple structure for exchanging operation of a sample in a short time, and to provide a charged particle ray inspection device of less footprint and improved throughput. SOLUTION: A vacuum carrier 26 comprises an arm 1 that can be rotated and vertically operated by two drive sources 2 and 10. On both ends of the arm 1, first hand 22 and second hand 23 are arranged with a space in the vertical direction that are supported to rotate as the arm 1 rotates for placing a sample. Transportation and exchange of a sample is allowed only by control of rotation and vertical operation of the arm 1. The vacuum carrier 26 is arranged not in a preliminary exhaust chamber of the charged vertical beam inspection device but in a vacuum sample chamber. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
