In order to provide a charged particle beam apparatus capable of irradiating a desired region in the surface of a sample with a charged particle beam from a wide range of angles, an electrode unit (204) comprising an electrode, the inclination angle of which (i.e. the angle of inclination relative to a plane orthogonal to the extension line of the center axis of the ion beam column (201a)) and the position of which (i.e. the position in the direction along the extension line of the center axis of the ion beam column (201a) and in directions orthogonal thereto) can be adjusted, is arranged within a sample chamber (203) of the charged particle beam apparatus. The charged particle beam apparatus is also configured so that a curved ion beam (201b) is irradiated onto a surface of a sample (202) by the electrode. This enables irradiation of the ion beam (201b) to a desired range within the surface of the sample (202), from a wide range of angles with respect to the sample surface.
