    Abstract: This is a method for designing an optimized charged particle beam projection system. Specify lens configuration and first order optics. Calculate lens excitations. Configure the lens system, providing lens field distributions, beam landing angle, and imaging ray/axis cross-over. Provide an input deflector configuration. Solve a linear equation set, and thereby provide a curvilinear axis and associated deflection field distributions. Calculate the third order aberration coefficients yielding a list of up to 54 aberration coefficients. Provide an input of dynamic correctors. Calculate excitations to eliminate quadratic aberrations in deflection. Calculate third and fifth order aberrations, providing image blur and distortion vs. deflection, best focal plane, and depth of focus. Determine whether the current result is better than the previous result. If YES then change the axial location input to the solve linear equation set. If NO, test whether the current result is acceptable. If NO, provide a deflector configuration. If YES, test whether the deflection current is larger. If YES, change the input for the axial location of the deflectors to solve the linear equation set again. If NO then END the process.

    Abstract: A charged particle lens has an axis that is shifted to follow the central ray of the beam as it is deflected through the lens creating, in effect, a variable curvilinear optical axis for the lens and introducing aberrations having depending on the object size and the distance off the lens symmetry axis. These aberrations are corrected by a set of coil pairs tilted with respect to the system axis, which generate compensating aberrations of the same type.

    Abstract: An electron beam projection system comprises a source of an electron beam, a first doublet of condenser lenses with a first symmetry plane, a first aperture comprising a trim aperture located at the first symmetry plane of the first doublet also serving as a first blanking aperture. A second aperture comprises a shaping aperture located below the trim aperture. A second doublet of condenser lenses with a second symmetry plane is located below the second aperture, the second doublet having a symmetry plane. A third aperture is located at the symmetry plane of the second doublet wherein the third aperture comprises another blanking aperture. There are first blanking plates between the first condenser lens and the trim aperture, and second electrostatic alignment plates between the trim aperture and the second aperture. The second doublet comprises a pair of illuminator lenses including deflectors coaxial therewith and located inside the radius of the lenses and shielding rings located along the inner surfaces of the lenses, and correctors located coaxial with the deflectors and inside or outside of the radii thereof including stigmators, focus coils and a hexapole.

    Abstract: A particle beam, in particular in ionic on the reproduction system, preferably for lithographic purposes, has a particle source, in particular an ion source for reproducing on a wafer a structure designed in a masking foil as one or several transparent spots, in particular openings, through at least two electrostatic lenses arranged upstream of the wafer. One of the lenses is a grating lens constituted by one or two tubular electrodes and by a perforated plate arranged in the path of the beam perpendicularly to the optical axis. The plate is formed by a masking foil which forms the central or first electrode of the granting lens, in the direction of propagation of the beam.
