Abstract: An e-beam apparatus is disclosed, the tool comprising an electron optics system configured to project an e-beam onto an object, an object table to hold the object, and a positioning device configured to move the object table relative to the electron optics system. The positioning device comprises a short stroke stage configured to move the object table relative to the electron optics system and a long stroke stage configured to move the short stroke stage relative to the electron optics system. The e-beam apparatus further comprises a magnetic shield to shield the electron optics system from a magnetic disturbance generated by the positioning device. The magnetic shield may be arranged between the positioning device and the electron optics system.

IPC: H01J37/20
Abstract: An electron beam apparatus includes an electron optics system to generate an electron beam, an object table to hold the specimen at a target position so that a target portion of the specimen is irradiated by the electron beam, and a positioning device to displace the object table relative to the electron beam. The positioning device includes a stage actuator and a balance mass. The stage actuator exerts a force onto the object table to cause an acceleration of the object table. The force onto the object table results in a reaction force onto the balance mass. The balance mass moves in response to the reaction force. The positioning device enables the balance mass to move in a first direction in response to a component of the reaction force in the first direction.

Abstract: Systems directed to a stage apparatus in an electron beam inspection tool to inspect a sample are disclosed. The stage apparatus comprises a short stroke stage; a long stroke stage; a first sensor configured to measure a position of the short stroke stage with respect to a measurement reference; one or more roller bearings configured to support the long stroke stage; and a controller having circuitry and configured to control a motion of the long stroke stage and a motion of the short stroke stage for following movement of the reference at least partly based on measurement from the first sensor, wherein the controller is operable such that control of the long stroke stage is decoupled from the movement of the reference in at least a part of operation of the stage apparatus for reducing debris generation of the one or more roller bearings.
