    摘要: A method for projecting a charged particle multi-beam toward a sample comprises: manipulating respective sub-beams of a charged particle multi-beam using a control lens array comprising a plurality of control lenses for the respective sub-beams; controlling the control lens array to manipulate the sub-beams such that the sub-beams are shaped by respective apertures of a beam shaping aperture array such that less than a threshold current of charged particles of each sub-beam passes through the respective apertures of the beam shaping aperture array, down-beam of the control lens array, comprising a plurality of apertures for the respective sub-beams; and controlling the control lens array to manipulate the sub-beams such that at least the threshold current of at least a proportion of the sub-beams passes through the respective apertures of the beam shaping aperture array.

    摘要: A sub-beam aperture array for forming a plurality of sub-beams from one or more charged particle beams. The sub-beam aperture array comprises one or more beam areas, each beam area comprising a plurality of sub-beam apertures arranged in a non-regular hexagonal pattern, the sub-beam apertures arranged so that, when projected in a first direction onto a line parallel to a second direction, the sub-beam apertures are uniformly spaced along the line, and wherein the first direction is different from the second direction. The system further comprises a beamlet aperture array with a plurality of beamlet apertures arranged in one or more groups. The beamlet aperture array is arranged to receive the sub-beams and form a plurality of beamlets at the locations of the beamlet apertures of the beamlet array.
