    Abstract: A method and a system. The system may include (a) evaluation units, (b) an object distribution system for receiving the objects and distributing the objects between the evaluation units, and (c) at least one controller. Each evaluation unit may include (i) a chamber housing that has an inner space, (ii) a chuck, (iii) a movement system that is configured to move the chuck, and (iv) a charged particle module that is configured to irradiate the object with a charged particle beam, and to detect particles emitted from the object. In each evaluation unit a length of the inner space is smaller than twice a length of the object, and a width of the inner space is smaller than twice a width of the object.

    Abstract: A method that includes performing multiple test iterations to provide multiple test results; and processing the multiple test results to provide estimates of a conductivity of each of the multiple bottoms segments. The multiple test iterations includes repeating, for each bottom segment of the multiple bottom segments, the steps of: (a) illuminating the bottom segment by a charging electron beam; wherein electrons emitted from the bottom segment due to the illuminating are prevented from exiting the hole; (b) irradiating, by a probing electron beam, an area of an upper surface of the dielectric medium; (c) collecting electrons emitted from the area of the upper surface as a result of the irradiation of the area by the probing electron beam to provide collected electrons; and (d) determining an energy of at least one of the collected electrons to provide a test result.

    Abstract: A system that may include a first mechanical stage, a second mechanical stage, charged particle beam optics and a controller. The system may charge, with a charged particle beam, a slice of the object. During the charging of the slice the first mechanical stage may introduce a first movement along a first direction, between the object and charged particle beam optics. The charged particle beam optics may scan the slice with the charged particle beam. The scanning of the slice includes performing, by the charged particle optics, a first counter-movement deflection of the charged particle beam to at least partially counter the first movement. The second mechanical stage is configured to introduce a second movement along a second direction, between the object and the charged particle beam optics. Upon a completion of the charging of the slice, the second mechanical stage is configured to perform a first flyback operation.
