    Abstract: There is provided an electron microscope capable of easily achieving power saving. The electron microscope (100) includes a controller (60) for switching the mode of operation of the microscope from a first mode where electron lenses (12, 14, 18, 20) are activated to a second mode where the electron lenses (12, 14, 18, 20) are not activated. During this operation for making a switch from the first mode to the second mode, the controller (60) performs the steps of: closing a first vacuum gate valve (50), opening a second vacuum gate valve (52), and vacuum pumping the interior of the electron optical column (2) of the microscope by the second vacuum pumping unit (40); then controlling a heating section (26) to heat an adsorptive member (242); then opening the first vacuum gate valve (50), closing the second vacuum gate valve (52), and vacuum pumping the interior of the electron optical column (2) by the first vacuum pumping unit (30); and turning off the electron lenses (12, 14, 18, 20).

    Abstract: Foreign substances present in a sample chamber are attached to or drawn close to an objective lens and an electrode disposed close to the objective lens by applying a higher magnetic field than when normally used to the objective lens and applying a higher electric field than when normally used to the electrode disposed close to the objective lens. A stage is moved such that the center of an optical axis is located directly above a dedicated stand capable of applying voltage, the magnetic field of the objective lens is turned off, and then the potential difference between the electrode disposed close to the objective lens and an electrode disposed close to the sage is periodically maximized and minimized to thereby forcibly drop the foreign substances onto the dedicated stand capable of applying voltage.

    Abstract: A system and method for mitigating contamination in an ion implantation system is provided. The system comprises an ion source, a power supply operable to supply power to a filament and mirror electrode of the ion source, a workpiece handling system, and a controller, wherein the ion source is selectively tunable via the controller to provide rapid control of a formation of an ion beam. The controller is operable to selectively rapidly control power to the ion source, therein modulating a power of the ion beam between an implantation power and a minimal power in less than approximately 20 microseconds based, at least in part, to a signal associated with a workpiece position. Control of the ion source therefore mitigates particle contamination in the ion implantation system by minimizing an amount of time at which the ion beam is at the implantation current.
