Abstract: The invention relates to a method for correcting distortions introduced by the projection system (106) of a TEM. As known to the person skilled in the art distortions may limit the resolution of a TEM, especially when making a 3D reconstruction of a feature using tomography. Also when using strain analysis in a TEM the distortions may limit the detection of strain.To this end the invention discloses a detector equipped with multipoles (152), the multipoles warping the image of the TEM in such a way that distortions introduced by the projection system are counteracted. The detector may further include a CCD or a fluorescent screen (151) for detecting the electrons.
Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种用于校正由TEM的投影系统（106）引入的失真的方法。 如本领域技术人员所知，失真可能限制TEM的分辨率，特别是当使用层析成像进行特征的3D重建时。 此外，当在TEM中使用应变分析时，失真可能会限制应变的检测。 为此，本发明公开了一种装备有多极（152）的检测器，该多极体使得TEM的图像翘曲，使得由投影系统引入的失真被抵消。 检测器还可以包括用于检测电子的CCD或荧光屏（151）。

Abstract: The invention provides multiple detectors that detect electrons that have passed through a sample. The detectors preferably detect electrons after the electrons have been passed through a prism that separates electrons according to their energies. Electrons in different energy ranges are then detected by different detectors, with preferably at least one of the detectors measuring the energy lost by the electrons as they pass through the sample. One embodiment of the invention provides EELS on core-loss electrons while simultaneously providing a bright-field STEM signal from low-loss electrons.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hybrid phase plate for use in a TEM. The phase plate according to the invention resembles a Boersch phase plate in which a Zernike phase plate is mounted. As a result the phase plate according to the invention resembles a Boersch phase plate for electrons scattered to such an extent that they pass outside the central structure (15) and resembles a Zernike phase plate for scattered electrons passing through the bore of the central structure. Comparing the phase plate of the invention with a Zernike phase plate is has the advantage that for electrons that are scattered over a large angle, no electrons are absorbed or scattered by a foil, resulting in a better high resolution performance of the TEM. Comparing the phase plate of the invention with a Boersch phase plate the demands for miniaturization of the central structure are less severe.

Abstract: An electron source for, for example, an electron microscope cannot exhibit a high brightness and a large beam current at the same time, because the virtual emitter dimension is enlarged by Coulomb repulsion in the electron beam in the case of a large beam current, thus reducing the brightness. In a conventional electron source switching-over could take place from a high brightness to a large beam current by varying the dimension of a beam-limiting diaphragm; however, this is objectionable because the location of such a diaphragm is not readily accessible. In accordance with the invention said switching-over can take place by arranging two lenses 26, 28 in the source, which lenses parallelize In the described circumstances the beam either directly behind the emitter 4 (large current) or directly in front of the diaphragm aperture 32 (high brightness).
Abstract translation: 因为例如电子显微镜的电子源不能同时呈现高亮度和大的电子束电流，因为在大束流电流的情况下，通过电子束中的库仑排斥使虚拟发射极尺寸增大，因此 降低亮度。 在传统的电子源中，通过改变光束限制膜的尺寸，可以从高亮度到大的光束电流进行切换; 然而，这是令人反感的，因为这种隔膜的位置不容易接近。 根据本发明，可以通过在源中布置两个透镜26,28来实现切换，这些透镜是并行的。在所述的情况下，光束直接位于发射器4的后面（大电流）或者直接在光阑孔的前面 32（高亮度）。

Abstract: Multi-beam lithography apparatus is used for writing patterns on a substrate 14 such as a wafer for ICs. The patterns may have details of various dimensions. In order to enhance the production rate, it is attractive to write fine details with a small spot 16 and large details with a large spot. It is known to vary the spot size by varying the emissive surface of the electron source. In accordance with the invention the spot size is varied by varying the size 22 of the beam limiting aperture 20, thus enabling optimization of the beam current in dependence on the spot size. A preferred embodiment is provided with an additional (condenser) lens 24 such that the object distance remains constant when the magnification of the lens system 18, 24 is varied.
