摘要: A detector for detecting radiation is disclosed. In one arrangement, the detector has a sensing element that comprises a semiconducting sensor substrate (402) and is configured such that impingement of target radiation generates charge carriers in the sensor substrate. Readout circuitry provides an output responsive to charge carriers generated in the sensor substrate. The sensor substrate comprises a low bandgap layer (408) and a high bandgap portion (409).

摘要: The present disclosure relates to charged particle devices for projecting charged particles towards a sample and methods of assessing a sample using charged particles. A charged particle optical element directs beams of charged particles towards a sample. The charged particle optical element comprising a plate in which is defined beam apertures and a plurality of vent apertures. A beam tube defines an inner tube volume comprising paths up-beam of the plate of charged particles of the beams, and an outer tube region that is outside of the beam tube. The beam apertures are for passage towards the sample of charged particles of the beams, from the inner tube volume to a down-beam volume on an opposite side of the plate to the inner tube volume. Vent apertures fluidically connect the down-beam volume to the outer tube region.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to an electron-optical stack for manipulating one or more charged particle beams and associated apparatus and methods. In one arrangement, a plurality of electron-optical plates have major surfaces on opposite sides of the plates. The plates define a set of channels configured to be aligned along a beam path of a charged particle beam to allow the charged particle beam to pass through the plates via the channels. Each channel defines apertures in the two major surfaces of the plate that defines the channel. The apertures have different shapes from each other in the sense that one aperture has a nominal shape and the other aperture has a perturbed shape, i.e., a perturbed version of the nominal shape. The plates are oriented such that the apertures comprise one or more matching aperture pairs along the beam path. The or each matching aperture pair consists of apertures having the same shape defined in adjacent major surfaces of adjacent plates, i.e., they have both either a nominal shape or a perturbed shape.
