    摘要: The invention relates to a method for determining lens errors in a Scanning Electron Microscope, more specifically to a sample that enables such lens errors to be determined. The invention describes, for example, the use of cubic MgO crystals which are relatively easy to produce as so-called ‘self-assembling’ crystals on a silicon wafer. Such crystals have almost ideal angles and edges. Even in the presence of lens errors this may give a clear impression of the situation if no lens errors are present. This enables a good reconstruction to be made of the cross-section of the beam in different under- and over-focus planes. The lens errors can then be determined on the basis of this reconstruction, whereupon they can be corrected by means of a corrector.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: The invention describes a method for inspecting samples in an electron microscope. A sample carrier 500 shows electrodes 504, 507 connecting pads 505, 508 with areas A on which the sample is to be placed.After placing the sample on the sample carrier, a conductive pattern is deposited on the sample, so that voltages and currents can be applied to localized parts of the sample.Applying the pattern on the sample may be done with, for example, Beam Induced Deposition or ink-jet printing.The invention also teaches building electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors and active elements such as FET's in the sample.
