    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: 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 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.
