    Abstract: A cellular-type PD unit is proposed and a plurality of the cellular-type PD units is used in pairs in a multi-axis magnetic lens for focusing a plurality of charged beams. First type PD units or second type PD units (called as hybrid PD unit as well) can be applied to cellular-type PD units to flexibly construct sub-lenses. Furthermore, magnetic shielding plates with a plurality of through openings can be placed above and/or below the multi-axis magnetic lens to make magnetic flux leaking out of the multi-axis magnetic lens vanish away rapidly outside the magnetic shielding plates.

    Abstract: The charged-particle beam system includes a non-axisymmetric diode forms a non-axisymmetric beam having an elliptic cross-section. A focusing element utilizes a magnetic field for focusing and transporting the non-axisymmetric beam, wherein the non-axisymmetric beam is approximately matched with the channel of the focusing element.

    Abstract: Axially symmetric magnetic fields are provided about the longitudinal axis of each beam of a multi-beam electron beam device. The magnetic field symmetry is independent of beam voltage, beam current and applied magnetic field strength. A flux equalizer assembly is disposed between the cathodes and the anodes and near the cathodes of a multi-beam electron beam device. The assembly includes a ferromagnetic flux plate completely contained within the magnetic focusing circuit of the device. The flux plate includes apertures for each beam of the multi-beam device. A flux equalization gap or gaps are disposed in the flux plate to provide a perturbation in the magnetic field in the flux plate which counters the asymmetry induced by the off-axis position of the beam. The gaps may be implemented in a number of ways all of which have the effect of producing a locally continuously varying reluctance that locally counters the magnetic field asymmetry. The flux equalizer assembly prevents or substantially reduces beam twist and maintains all of the electron beams of the device as linear beams.
