摘要:
A mesh (M) having an ellipsoid shape or a shape close to the ellipsoid shape is attached to an electrode (EL1) among electrodes (EL1 to ELn). Voltages of the later-stage electrodes (EL2 to ELn) are appropriately set. With this arrangement, a local negative spherical aberration generated by the mesh (M) is cancelled out with a positive spherical aberration. This optimizes an electric field distribution. As a result, this realizes an electrostatic lens whose acceptance angle is extended to about ±60°.
摘要:
A mesh (M) having a shape of a spheroidal surface or a shape near to it is arranged on an electrode (EL1) among electrodes (EL1 to ELn) and voltage of the electrodes (EL2 to ELn) of the latter stages are appropriately set so that a local negative spherical aberration generated by the mesh (M) is compensated by a positive spherical aberration generated by a focusing electric field, thereby forming an optimal electric field distribution. By this, it is possible to realize an electrostatic lens having an intake angle enlarged up to the order of ± 60 degrees.

Provided is a compact device which captures, over a large solid angle range, electrically charged particles emitted from a point source and parallelizes the trajectories of said charged particles. The present invention is configured from: an electrostatic lens comprising a plurality of axisymmetric electrodes (10-14) and an axisymmetric aspherical mesh (2) which has a surface that is concave away from the point source; and a flat collimator plate (3) positioned coaxially with the electrostatic lens. The acceptance angle for the electrically charged particles generated from a point source (7) is ±30° or greater. The shape of the aspherical mesh (2), and the potentials and the positions of a ground electrode (10) and application electrodes (11-15) are adjusted so that the trajectories of the electrically charged particles are substantially parallelized by the electrostatic lens. The electrostatic lens and the flat collimator plate are positioned on a common axis so that after the trajectories of the electrically charged particles have been substantially parallelized with respect to the axis, the charged particles enter the flat collimator plate (3) at an angle of incidence substantially perpendicular thereto.

A spherical aberration correction decelerating lens corrects a spherical aberration occurring in an electron beam or an ion beam (hereinafter, referred to as "beam") emitted from a predetermined object plane position with a certain divergence angle, and said spherical aberration correction decelerating lens comprises at least two electrodes, each of which is constituted of a surface of a solid of revolution whose central axis coincides with an optical axis and each of which receives an intentionally set voltage applied by an external power supply, wherein at least one of the electrodes includes one or more meshes (M) which has a concaved shape opposite to an object plane (P0) and which is constituted of a surface of a solid of revolution so that a central axis of the concaved shape coincides with the optical axis, and a voltage applied to each of the electrodes causes the beam to be decelerated and causes formation of a decelerating convergence field for correcting the spherical aberration occurring in the beam. This makes it possible to provide a spherical aberration correction decelerating lens which converges a beam, emitted from the sample and having high energy and a large divergence angle, onto an image plane.
