Abstract: Described herein is a vacuum system configured to mitigate damage or risk associated with a pump malfunction (e.g., an imbalance, a catastrophic failure, etc.). An exemplary vacuum pump includes a housing; a vibration isolator coupled to the vacuum pump housing and configured to isolate vibrations generated by the vacuum pump during operation; and a stop structure (a first component) disposed between the vacuum pump housing and an adjacent fixture (a second component). The stop structure configured to prevent displacement of the vacuum pump housing relative to the fixture above a threshold amount, wherein the displacement of the vacuum pump housing is configured to be within the threshold amount during normal operation. The vacuum system may further include a collar (a third component) configured to limit an axial displacement of the pump.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for transferring fluid to a stage in a charged particle beam system are disclosed. In some embodiments, a stage may be configured to secure a wafer; a chamber may be configured to house the stage; and a tube may be provided within the chamber to transfer fluid between the stage and outside of the chamber. The tube may include a first tubular layer of first material, wherein the first material is a flexible polymer; and a second tubular layer of second material, wherein the second material is configured to reduce permeation of fluid or gas through the tube. In some embodiments, a system may include a degasser system outside of the chamber, where the degasser system may be configured to remove gases from the transfer fluid before the transfer fluid enters the tube.
