摘要: Systems and methods for wafer grounding and wafer grounding location adjustment are disclosed. A first method may include receiving a first value of an electric characteristic associated with the wafer being grounded by an electric signal; determining a first control parameter using at least the first value; and controlling a characteristic of the electric signal using the first control parameter and the first value. A second method for adjusting a grounding location for a wafer may include terminating an electric connection between the wafer and at least one grounding pin in contact the wafer; adjusting a relative position between the wafer and the grounding pin; and restoring the electric connection between the grounding pin and the wafer. A third method may include causing a grounding pin to penetrate through a coating on the wafer by impact; and establishing an electrical connection between the grounding pin and the wafer.

摘要: Apparatuses and systems for damping vibration of a vacuum vessel mounted with a pump include a pump body and a damping element coupled to the pump body, wherein the pump body and the damping element form a mass-based damper, and wherein the pump body forms a mass component of the mass-based damper; and the damping element forms a damping component of the mass-based damper. The apparatuses and systems also include a pump body configured to be secured to a column of a charged-particle inspection apparatus, a sensor coupled to the pump body, an actuator coupled to the pump body, and a circuitry communicatively coupled to the sensor and the actuator for receiving motion data indicative of a vibration of the column; determining a damping based on the motion data; and actuate the actuator to react to the vibration of the column in accordance with the damping.

摘要: Systems and methods for irradiating a sample with a charged-particle beam are disclosed. The charged-particle beam system may comprise a stage configured to hold a sample and is movable in at least one of X-Y-Z axes. The charged-particle beam system may further comprise a position sensing system to determine a lateral and vertical displacement of the stage, and a beam deflection controller configured to apply a first signal to deflect a primary charged-particle beam incident on the sample to at least partly compensate for the lateral displacement, and to apply a second signal to adjust a focus of the deflected charged-particle beam incident on the sample to at least partly compensate for the vertical displacement of the stage. The first and second signals may comprise an electrical signal having a high bandwidth in a range of 10 kHz to 50 kHz, and 50 kHz to 200 kHz, respectively.
