Abstract: A lens element of a charged particle system comprises an electrode having a central opening. The lens element is configured for functionally cooperating with an aperture array that is located directly adjacent said electrode, wherein the aperture array is configured for blocking part of a charged particle beam passing through the central opening of said electrode. The electrode is configured to operate at a first electric potential and the aperture array is configured to operate at a second electric potential different from the first electric potential. The electrode and the aperture array together form an aberration correcting lens.

Abstract: Method of manufacturing electronic devices using a maskless lithographic exposure system using a maskless pattern writer. The method comprises generating beamlet control data for controlling the maskless pattern writer to expose a wafer for creation of the electronic devices, wherein the beamlet control data is generated based on a feature data set defining features selectable for individualizing the electronic devices, wherein exposure of the wafer according to the beamlet control data results in exposing a pattern having a different selection of the features from the feature data set for different subsets of the electronic devices.
