    摘要: A beam directing method and device are presented for spatially separating between a primary charged particle beam and a beam of secondary particles returned from a sample as a result of its interaction with the primary charged particle beam. The primary charged particle beam is directed towards the beam directing device along a first axis passing an opening in a detector, which has charged particle detecting regions outside this opening. The trajectory of the primary charged particle beam is then affected to cause the primary charged particle beam propagation to the sample along a second axis substantially parallel to and spaced-apart from the first axis. This causes the secondary charged particle beam propagation to the detecting region outside the opening in the detector.

    摘要: A retarding field scanning electron microscope is described. The microscope includes a scanning deflection assembly configured for scanning an electron beam over a specimen, one or more controllers in communication with the scanning deflection assembly for controlling the electron beam scanning pattern, and a combined magnetic-electrostatic objective lens configured for focusing the electron beam including an electrostatic lens portion. The electrostatic lens portion includes a first electrode with a high potential bias, and a second electrode disposed between the first electrode and the specimen plane with a potential bias lower than the first electrode, wherein the second electrode is configured for providing a retarding field. The microscope further includes a voltage supply connected to the second electrode for biasing the second electrode and being in communication with the controllers, wherein the controllers synchronize a variation of the potential of the second electrode with the scanning pattern.

    摘要: The present invention provides, according to a first aspect, a method for the examination of specimen with a beam of charged particles. The method provides one or more images of the specimen made with different view angles, so that, compared to a single image of the specimen, a lot of additional information about the specimen can be accessed. The different view angles (angles of incidence) are achieved by tilting the beam between the two images and moving the specimen to a new position so that the displacement of the beam caused by the tilting of the beam is compensated. Accordingly, while displaying/recording the second image the beam scans over the same area as it has scanned while displaying/recording the first image.

A certain given voltage is supplied to an anode of the column to provide a required accelerating voltage for a charged particle beam. A certain negative voltage is supplied to the sample selected so as to provide a desirably high effective voltage of the column at said given voltage of the anode. A certain voltage is supplied an electrode of a lens arrangement located closer to the sample, this voltage being selected to satisfy one of the following conditions: the electrode voltage is either equal to or slightly lower than that of the sample; and the electrode voltage is significantly higher than that of the sample.
