    摘要: An electron beam microscope includes an energy-sensitive detector to detect backscattered electrons and a signal processor for processing detection signals of the detector. The signal processor includes an analog amplifier. The signal processor also includes a window comparator having a signal input connected to an output of the analog amplifier. A signal generated at an output of the signal processor is generated based on a signal provided at an output the window comparator. The window comparator is configured to output a predetermined signal only if the amplified signal supplied to its signal input is less than or equal to an upper threshold and greater than or equal to a lower threshold.

    摘要: A particle beam system is configured to perform a method which includes: preventing at least one of generation of induced particles and incidence of the induced particles onto a detection area of a detector configured to output a detection signal; generating a residual signal by processing the detection signal outputted during the preventing using a control value; adjusting, based on the residual signal, the control value so that the residual signal takes a value within a predetermined limited residual-signal target range; directing a primary particle beam onto an object while allowing generation of the induced particles due to the primary particle beam and incidence of the induced particles onto the detection area; generating a result signal by processing the detection signal outputted during the directing using the control value.

    摘要: Described herein is a method for analyzing an object using a particle beam apparatus, for example an electron beam apparatus and/or an ion beam apparatus, or using an x-ray beam device and a particle beam apparatus or an x-ray beam device, by means of which the method is carried out. In the method, information about the object is loaded from a data memory into a control device. Furthermore, a group of detection units from the multiplicity of detection units is identified using the information loaded into the control device. A first detector segment is formed from the group of detection units using the control device. Interaction particles and/or interaction radiation, which is/are detected, is/are generated by guiding a particle beam onto the object and scanning the object using the particle beam, where a detector segment signal is read from the detector segment.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a sample carrier for accommodating a microscopic sample for examination or processing in a microscope system. The sample carrier is accommodatable in an accommodating device, such that the sample carrier in the accommodated state assumes a defined orientation relative to the accommodating device. The sample carrier has an individual sample carrier identifier and is designed to communicate with the microscope system and in the process to communicate the individual sample carrier identifier to the microscope system, such that a sample accommodated on the sample carrier is trackable.

    摘要: A method of operating a particle beam microscopy. A particle beam is scanned across a scanning region of a surface of the object. Particles are detected by a detector system for a plurality of impingement locations of the primary beam within the scanning region. A detector system generates detector signals which represent for each of the impingement locations an intensity of the detected particles. Material data of the interaction regions are calculated depending on the detector signals and depending on topography data, which represent a topography of the object surface in the scanning region.

    摘要: A particle beam device comprises a first particle beam column for providing a first particle beam and a second particle beam column for providing a second particle beam. Operating the particle beam device may include: supplying the second particle beam with second charged particles onto an object using the second particle beam column, loading a value of a control parameter into a control unit from a database or calculating the value of the control parameter in the control unit, setting an objective lens excitation of a first objective lens of the first particle beam column using the value of the control parameter, detecting second interaction particles using a particle detector. The second interaction particles may emerge from an interaction of the second particle beam with the object when the second particle beam is incident on the object.
