ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to provide a charged particle beam apparatus and an alignment method of the charged particle beam apparatus, which make it possible to align an optical axis of a charged particle beam easily even when a state of the charged particle beam changes. The present invention comprises calculation means for calculating a deflection amount of an alignment deflector which performs an axis alignment for an objective lens, a plurality of calculation methods for calculating the deflection amount is memorized in the calculation means, and a selection means for selecting at least one of the calculation methods is provided.
