Charged particle beam device and inspection method

Provided is a charged particle beam device for which deterioration in throughput in the event of abnormality of multiple beams can be prevented. The charged particle beam device includes: a stage 11 on which a sample is mounted; a charged particle optical system configured to irradiate the sample with multiple beams including multiple primary beams; a detector 15 configured to detect secondary beams generated by interactions between the primary beams and the sample and output detection signals; and a control unit 17 configured to control the stage and the charged particle optical system to generate image data based on the detection signals from the detector obtained by scanning the sample with the multiple beams using a first scanning method. The control unit changes, when the abnormality of the multiple beams is detected based on the image data, the multiple beams to scan the sample using a second scanning method, and a scanning width of the multiple beams for scanning the sample is greater in the second scanning method than in the first scanning method.
