    Abstract: A multi-column scanning electron microscopy (SEM) system is disclosed. The SEM system includes a source assembly. The source assembly includes two or more electron beam sources configured to generate a plurality of electron beams. The source assembly also includes two or more sets of positioners configured to actuate the two or more electron beam sources. The SEM system also includes a column assembly. The column assembly includes a plurality of substrate arrays. The column assembly also includes two or more electron-optical columns formed by a set of column electron-optical elements bonded to the plurality of substrate arrays. The SEM system also includes a stage configured to secure a sample that at least one of emits or scatters electrons in response to the plurality of electron beams directed by the two or more electron-optical columns to the sample.

    Abstract: A multi-column assembly for a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) system is disclosed. The multi-column assembly includes a plurality of electron-optical columns arranged in an array defined by one or more spacings. Each electron-optical column includes one or more electron-optical elements. The plurality of electron-optical columns is configured to characterize one or more field areas on a surface of a sample secured on a stage. The number of electron-optical columns in the plurality of electron-optical columns equals an integer number of inspection areas in a field area of the one or more field areas. The one or more spacings of the plurality of electron-optical columns correspond to one or more dimensions of the inspection areas.

    Abstract: A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) system includes a plurality of electron beam sources configured to generate a primary electron beam. The SEM system includes an electron-optical column array with a plurality of electron-optical columns. An electron-optical column includes a plurality of electron-optical elements. The plurality of electron-optical elements includes a deflector layer configured to be driven via a common controller shared by at least some of the plurality of electron-optical columns and includes a trim deflector layer configured to be driven by an individual controller. The plurality of electron-optical elements is arranged to form an electron beam channel configured to direct the primary electron beam to a sample secured on a stage, which emits an electron beam in response to the primary electron beam. The electron-optical column includes an electron detector. The electron beam channel is configured to direct the electron beam to the electron detector.
