A first working process performs a deposition working or an etching
working to a workpiece by face-irradiating a focused ion beam to the
workpiece, and a second working process then performs a deposition
working or an etching working to the workpiece by edge-irradiating a
focused ion beam to an edge of the workpiece. During the first working
process, the deposition working or the etching working is performed to
add the missing portion or remove the excess portion to a point slightly
short of the edge boundary of the workpiece, i.e., to a point that is
less than the irradiation width of the focused ion beam. The remaining
missing portion or the remaining excess portion is eliminated in the
second working process by edge-irradiating the focused ion beam to the
edge of the workpiece.
