Abstract: Systems and methods of profiling a charged-particle beam are disclosed. The method of profiling a charged-particle beam may comprise activating a charged-particle source to generate the charged-particle beam along a primary optical axis, modifying the charged-particle beam by adjusting an interaction between the charged-particle beam and a standing optical wave, detecting charged particles from the modified charged-particle beam after the interaction with the standing optical wave, and determining a profile of the charged-particle beam based on the detected charged particles. Alternatively, the method may include activating an optical source, modifying the optical beam by adjusting an interaction between the optical beam and a charged-particle beam, detecting an optical signal from the modified optical beam, and determining a characteristic of the charged-particle beam based on the detected optical signal.

Abstract: Disclosed among other aspects is a charged particle inspection system including an absorbing component and a programmable charged-particle mirror plate arranged to modify the energy distribution of electrons in a beam and shape the beam to reduce the energy spread of the electrons and aberrations of the beam, with the absorbing component including a structure defining a cavity, the cavity having an interior surface, and a metamaterial aborber provided on the interior surface. In operation, the cavity extends along a part of the beam path. In further embodiments, the metamaterial includes a set of absorbing structures configured as absorbing structures provided on a transparent conductive layer. Further, a method using such an absorbing component and with the programmable charged-particle mirror plate including a set of pixels configured to generate a customized electric field to shape the beam and using such a programmable charged-particle mirror plate is disclosed.
