摘要: A charged-particle beam device for charged-particle crystallography of a crystalline sample comprises a charged-particle source for generating a charged-particle beam to be radiated onto a sample and a charged-particle-optical system downstream the charged-particle source, which is configured to form in a diffraction mode a substantially parallel charged-particle beam at a predefined sample position and in an imaging mode a focused charged-particle beam having a focus at the predefined sample position. The charged-particle-optical system comprises a charged-particle zoom lens system consisting of a first magnetic lens, a second magnetic lens downstream the first magnetic lens and a third magnetic lens downstream the second magnetic lens, wherein at least the second magnetic lens, preferably each one of the first, the second and the third magnetic lens has a variable focal length. The charged-particle-optical system further comprises a single beam limiting aperture with a fixed aperture diameter arranged at a fixed position between the second magnetic lens and the third magnetic lens for limiting the diameter of the charged-particle beam at the sample position. The charged-particle-optical system is configured such that the diameter of the charged-particle beam at the sample position is in a range between 100 nanometer and 1000 nanometer, in particular between 220 nanometer and 250 nanometer, in the diffraction mode, and in a range between 10 nanometer and 200 nanometer in the imaging mode.

摘要: A multi-beam apparatus for observing a sample with high resolution and high throughput is proposed. In the apparatus, a source-conversion unit changes a single electron source into a virtual multi-source array, a primary projection imaging system projects the array to form plural probe spots on the sample, and a condenser lens adjusts the currents of the plural probe spots. In the source-conversion unit, the image-forming means is on the upstream of the beamlet-limit means, and thereby generating less scattered electrons. The image-forming means not only forms the virtual multi-source array, but also compensates the off-axis aberrations of the plurality of probe spots.

摘要: System and method for preventing blurring of an image in a scanning direction caused by a signal processing delay of a detector, of a charged particle beam device. The charged particle beam device is configured to calibrate first image data generated based on a detection signal output from a detector when the sample is two-dimensionally scanned with the charged particle beam, to generate second image data, in which the second image data is generated using n first signal profiles each of which corresponds to a signal strength distribution in a first direction and which are extracted from the first image data, and a power spectral density P(f) (f: spatial frequency) of a window function corresponding to the signal processing delay of the detector.

摘要: A method of monitoring compliance with filter specification during the implantation of ions into a substrate reading a signature of the filter and comparing the read signature with filter signatures stored in a database to identify properties of the filter including at least one of a maximum allowable temperature of the filter and a maximum allowable accumulated ion dose of the filter. The temperature and/or the accumulated ion dose of the filter is measured while ions are implanted into the substrate by an ion beam passing through the filter. The implantation is terminated when the measured temperature or accumulated ion dose of the filter reaches or exceeds the maximum allowable threshold.

摘要: A multi-electron beam image acquisition apparatus includes a multiple primary electron beams forming device to form multiple primary electron beams, a first-deflector to scan the multiple-primary electron beams over a target object by deflecting the multiple-primary electron beams, a corrector to correct a beam-array-distribution-shape of multiple-secondary electron beams emitted from the target object irradiated with the multiple-primary electron beams, a second-deflector to deflect the multiple-secondary electron beams whose beam-array-distribution-shape has been corrected, a detector to detect the deflected multiple-secondary electron beams, and a deflection control circuit to control applying, to the second-deflector, a superimposed potential obtained by superimposing a deflection potential which cancels out a position movement of the multiple-secondary electron beams moved along with scanning the multiple-primary electron beams on a correction potential which corrects a distortion being generated due to correcting the beam-array-distribution-shape of the multiple-secondary electron beams and being dependent on a deflection amount for scanning.

摘要: A method of forming a multipole device (100) for influencing an electron beam (11) is provided. The method is carried out in an electron beam apparatus (200) that comprises an aperture body (110) having at least one aperture opening (112). The method comprises directing the electron beam (11) onto two or more surface portions of the aperture body (110) on two or more sides of the at least one aperture opening (112) to generate an electron beam-induced deposition pattern (120) configured to act as a multipole in a charged state, particularly configured to act as a quadrupole, a hexapole and/or an octupole. The electron beam-induced deposition pattern (120) can be an electron beam-induced carbon or carbonaceous pattern. Further provided are methods of influencing an electron beam in an electron beam apparatus, particularly with a multipole device as described herein. Further provided is a multipole device for influencing an electron beam in an electron beam apparatus in a predetermined manner.

摘要: A method includes operating a multiple particle beam system at different working points. The numerical aperture can be set for each of the working points in such a way that the resolution of the multiple particle beam system is optimal. In the process, the beam pitch between adjacent individual particle beams on the sample to be scanned is kept constant as a boundary condition. There are no mechanical reconfigurations of the system whatsoever for the purposes of varying the numerical aperture.
