摘要: An ion generation device includes an arc chamber including an internal space and including a front slit for extracting an ion beam from plasma generated in the internal space, a magnetic field generator that generates a magnetic field applied in an axial direction in the internal space, and a first cathode configured to supply a thermoelectron into the internal space. The first cathode includes a first cathode cap, a first heat source, and a first thermal shield including a first extension portion. A first tip portion, and a first tip opening, and a first opening width of the first tip opening in the radial direction is smaller than a maximum width of the first cathode cap in the radial direction.

摘要: Particle beam systems, for example electron beam microscopes, exhibit improved resolution in a first direction by manipulating a beam of charged particles so that the beam has a non-circular beam profile in a focal plane of an objective lens. Multiple images of a sample can be recorded at different orientations of the beam profile relative to the sample, and the recorded images can be synthesized using non-uniform spatial-frequency weights to obtain an image of the sample having improved resolution in any direction. The orientation of the beam profile can be adjusted to a target orientation depending on a structure on a sample prior to recording an image of the sample, thereby making it possible to achieve highest resolution in a selected direction of interest.

摘要: A Bernas ion source having a shield is disclosed. The shield is disposed between the distal portion of the filament and the first end of the chamber and serves to confine the plasma to the region between the shield and the second end of the chamber. The shield may be electrically connected to the negative leg of the filament so as to be the most negatively biased component in the chamber. In other embodiments, the shield may be electrically floating. In this embodiment, the shield may self-bias. The shield is typically made of a refractory metal. The use of the shield may reduce back heating of the filament by the plasma and reduce the possibility for thermal runaway. This may allow denser plasmas to be generated within the chamber.

摘要: A beam adjustment method includes: installing, on an irradiation surface to which an electron beam is radiated, a detection part having a Faraday cup catching electrical charges of the electron beam, and installing, on a side of an electron gun further than the detection part, a shielding plate having opening holes through which the electron beam is passable. The method includes causing, upon performing beam diameter measurement processing, the electron beam to pass through the opening holes, and radiating the electron beam to the Faraday cup. In addition, the method includes radiating, upon performing normal processing, the electron beam to the shielding plate.

摘要: Variations in charged-particle-beam (CPB) source location are determined by scanning an alignment aperture that is fixed with respect to a beam defining aperture in a CPB, particularly at edges of a defocused CPB illumination disk. The alignment aperture is operable to transmit a CPB portion to a secondary emission surface that produces secondary emission directed to a scintillator element. Scintillation light produced in response is directed out of a vacuum enclosure associated with the CPB via a light guide to an external photodetection system.

摘要: The present invention quickly calculates values of optimal excitation parameters which are set in lenses in multiple stages. A multi charged particle beam adjustment method includes forming a multi charged particle beam, calculating, for each of lenses in two or more stages disposed corresponding to object lenses in two or more stages, a first rate of change and a second rate of change in response to change in at least an excitation parameter, the first rate of change being a rate of change in a demagnification level of a beam image of the multi charged particle beam, the second rate of change being a rate of change in a rotation level of the beam image, and calculating a first amount of correction to the excitation parameter of each of the lenses based on an amount of correction to the demagnification level and the rotation level of the beam image, the first rate of change, and the second rate of change.
