Abstract

In a beam processing apparatus including a beam scanner having a two electrodes type deflection scanning electrode, the beam scanner further includes shielding suppression electrode assemblies respectively at vicinities of upstream side and downstream side of the two electrodes type deflection scanning electrode and having openings in a rectangular shape for passing a charged particle beam. Each of the shielding suppression electrode assemblies is an assembly electrode comprising one sheet of a suppression electrode and two sheets of shielding ground electrodes interposing the suppression electrode. A total of front side portions and rear side portions of the two electrodes type deflection scanning electrode is shielded by the two sheets of shielding ground electrodes.
