    摘要: A multi charged particle beam writing apparatus includes two or more-stage objective lenses each comprised of a magnetic lens, and configured to focus the beam on a substrate, n (n≥3) correction lenses correcting an imaging state of the multi charged particle beam, and an electric field control electrode to which a positive constant voltage with respect to the substrate is applied. The electric field control electrode generates an electric field between the substrate and the electrode. The objective lenses include a first objective lens, and a second objective lens placed most downstream in a travel direction of the beam. m (n≥m≥1) correction lenses of the n correction lenses are magnetic correction lenses placed in a lens magnetic field of the second objective lens. (n−m) correction lenses are placed upstream of the lens magnetic field of the second objective lens in the travel direction.

    摘要: Charged particle microscopy systems, sensors, and techniques are provided. A charged particle sensor can include a housing, configured to be incorporated into a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The charged particle sensor can include a detector cell, mechanically coupled with the housing. The detector cell can include an acceptor layer including a semiconducting material characterized by a bandgap equal to or greater than about 2.0 eV. The acceptor layer can define a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface. The detector cell can include a first conducting layer disposed on the first surface, a second conducting layer disposed on the second surface, a first contact, electrically coupled with the first conducting layer, and a second contact, electrically coupled with the second conducting layer.

    摘要: The device includes a beam source for generating an electron beam, a beam guiding tube passed through an objective lens, an objective lens for generating a magnetic field in the vicinity of the specimen to focus the particles of the particle beam on the specimen, a control electrode having a potential for providing a retarding field to the particle beam near the specimen to reduce the energy of the particle beam when the beam collides with the specimen, a deflection system including a plurality of deflection units situated along the optical axis for deflecting the particle beam to allow scanning on the specimen with large area, at least one of the deflection units located in the retarding field of the beam, the remainder of the deflection units located within the central bore of the objective lens, and a detection unit to capture secondary electron (SE) and backscattered electrons (BSE).
