    Abstract: A multi-beam apparatus for observing a sample with high resolution and high throughput is proposed. In the apparatus, a source-conversion unit changes a single electron source into a virtual multi-source array, a primary projection imaging system projects the array to form plural probe spots on the sample, and a condenser lens adjusts the currents of the plural probe spots. In the source-conversion unit, the image-forming means is on the upstream of the beamlet-limit means, and thereby generating less scattered electrons. The image-forming means not only forms the virtual multi-source array, but also compensates the off-axis aberrations of the plurality of probe spots.

    Abstract: A multi-axis magnetic lens with stable performance in focusing a plurality of charged particle beams is provided. The multi-axis magnetic lens comprises a plurality of magnetic dub-lens modules. On the one hand, the multi-axis magnetic lens employs an annular permanent-magnet unit to provide a basic and stable magnetic flux to the plurality of magnetic sub-lens modules. One the other hand, the multi-axis magnetic lens uses a plurality of subsidiary coils to provide additional and adjustable magnetic flux to the plurality of magnetic sub-lens modules respectively. The invention also proposes a method to turn off or adjust the basic and stable magnetic flux for some applications. Hence, this invention will benefit the applications which need to execute in a long time period while keeping a high stabilization in performance.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a charged particle beam apparatus which employs LVSEM to inspect sample surface with a throughput much higher than the prior art. The high throughput is realized by providing a probe current and a FOV both several times of those of the prior art. Accordingly several means are proposed to avoid obvious degradation of image resolution due to the increases in Coulomb effect and geometric aberrations, and increase efficiency and uniformity of secondary charged particle collection.

    Abstract: A multi-beam apparatus for observing a sample with high resolution and high throughput is proposed. In the apparatus, a source-conversion unit forms plural and parallel images of one single electron source by deflecting plural beamlets of a parallel primary-electron beam therefrom, and one objective lens focuses the plural deflected beamlets onto a sample surface and forms plural probe spots thereon. A movable condenser lens is used to collimate the primary-electron beam and vary the currents of the plural probe spots, a pre-beamlet-forming means weakens the Coulomb effect of the primary-electron beam, and the source-conversion unit minimizes the sizes of the plural probe spots by minimizing and compensating the off-axis aberrations of the objective lens and condenser lens.
