    摘要: An apparatus and a method for investigating and/or modifying a sample is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a charged particle source, at least one particle optical element forming a charged particle beam of charged particles emitted by said charged particle source. The apparatus further comprises an objective lens which generates a charged particle probe from said charged particle beam. The objective lens defines a particle optical axis. A first electrostatic deflection element is arranged—in a direction of propagation of charged particles emitted by said charged particle source—downstream of the objective lens. The electrostatic deflection element deflecting the charged particle beam in a direction perpendicular to said charged particle optical axis and has a deflection bandwidth of at least 10 MHz.

    摘要: A method for etching a chromium layer in a vacuum chamber which may comprise introducing a halogen compound into the vacuum chamber, directing an electron beam onto the area of the chromium layer to be etched and/or introducing an oxygen including compound into the vacuum chamber. A further method for the highly resolved removal of a layer out of metal and/or metal oxide which may be arranged on an isolator or a substrate having poor thermal conductivity, may comprise arranging the layer inside a vacuum chamber, bombarding the layer with a focused electron beam with an energy of 3-30 keV, wherein the electron beam may be guided such that the energy transfer per time and area causes a localized heating of the layer above its melting and/or vaporization point and wherein the removal of the layer may be performed without the supply of reaction gases into the vacuum chamber.
