Abstract:
An apparatus and method for fast changing a focal length of a charged particle beam the method comprising the step of changing a control signal in response to a relationship between the control signal voltage value and the focal length of the charged particle beam.
Abstract:
A system for providing a compensated Auger spectrum, the system includes: a processor, adapted to generate a compensated Auger spectrum in response to a non-compensated Auger spectrum and in response to an electric potential related parameter, and an interface to an electron detector that is adapted to detect electrons emitted from the first area, wherein the interface is connected to the processor, and wherein the electric potential related parameter reflects a state of a first area of an object that was illuminated by a charged particle beam during the generation of the non-compensated Auger spectrum.
