    Abstract: An improved beam-defining aperture structure and method for fabrication is realized. An aperture opening (432) is made in a thin conductive film (420) positioned over a cavity (430) in a support substrate (410), where the aperture size and shape is determined by the opening in the conductive film and not determined by the cavity in the substrate.

    Abstract: A retarding field analyzer uses the existing components of a charged particle beam system eliminating the need for inserting a separate retarding field analyzer device. In a method of analyzing the energy of a charged particle beam, a retarding field through which the beam (114) passes is provided by applying a voltage to the element (116B) of the electrostatic focusing lens (116) retarding the beam, and the retarding field is incrementally increased by incrementally changing this voltage to alter the number of charged particles that pass through the electrostatic lens. Using components of the existing column reduces the time required to analyze the beam. Using the imaging capabilities of the existing column facilitates alignment of the beam with the analyzer.

    Abstract: A mass filter for an ion beam system includes at least two stages (306U,306L) and reduces chromatic aberration. One embodiment includes two symmetrical mass filter stages, the combination of which reduces or eliminates chromatic aberration, and entrance and exit fringing field errors. Embodiments can also prevent neutral particles from reaching the sample surface and avoid crossovers in the beam path. In one embodiment, the filter can pass a single species of ion from a source that produces multiple species. In other embodiments, the filter can pass a single ion species with a range of energies and focus the multi-energetic ions at the same point on the substrate surface.

    Abstract: An ExB Wien mass filter provides an independently-adjustable electric field combined with the dipole electric field required for mass separation. The independently adjustable electric field can be used to provide a larger optical aperture, to correct astigmatism and to deflect the beam in direction parallel and/or perpendicular to the magnetic field.
