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.

摘要: This discloses apparatus and methods for obtaining topographical information about a sample surface. In one arrangement, a sensing system comprises a group of proximal sensors for measuring positions of respective portions of a sample surface, and a distal sensor positioned more remotely from paths of sub-beams of a multibeam than the proximal sensors. The distal sensor measures a position of a portion of the sample surface relative to the distal sensor. A control system controls a charged particle device to process the sample surface in a multibeam processable area using the multibeam. A stage causes the multibeam processable area to move along a processing path in a reference frame of the sample. The sensing system uses at least the distal sensor to obtain topographical information about the sample surface in a selected portion of the processing path before the multibeam processable area reaches the selected portion of the processing path.
