    Abstract: A charged particle beam system uses an ion generator for charge neutralization. In some embodiments, the ion generator is configured to maintain an adequate gas pressure at the ion generator to generate ions, but a reduced pressure in the remainder of the vacuum chamber, so that another column can operate in the chamber either simultaneously or after an evacuation process that is much shorter than a process that would be required to evacuate the chamber from the full pressure required at the ion generator. The invention is particularly useful for repair of photolithography masks in a dual beam system.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for creating microscopic high resistivity structures on a target by directing a focused ion beam toward an impact point on the target and directing a precursor gas toward the impact point, the ion beam causing the precursor gas to decompose and thereby deposit a structure exhibiting high resistivity onto the target. The precursor gas preferably contains a first compound that would form a conductive layer and a second compound that would form an insulating layer if each of the first and second compounds were applied alone in the presence of the ion beam.

    Abstract: Apparatus and method for exposing a selected feature of an integrated circuit device such as a selected portion of the metallization layer, from the backside of the integrated circuit substrate without disturbing adjacent features of the device such as the active semiconductor regions. This is performed using an FIB (focused ion beam) etching process in conjunction with observation by an optical microscope to form a trench through the substrate. The floor of the trench is formed so as to be as smooth and planar as possible, thereby preventing undesirable exposure of the underlying active regions through any unknown or undesired cavity caused by scratches or pits or a deeper than desired sidewall. The smoothness and planarity of the floor of the trench is established by, prior to forming the trench, removing any surface defect initially present by using an FIB etching without use of assist gas to eliminate most scratches or impurities on the surface of the silicon, followed by removal of implanted ions using a gas-injected assisted FIB etch. Then the actual trench is formed using an assisted etch using a more aggressive injected gas.
