Abstract: A magnetic gun lens and an electrostatic gun lens can be used in an electron beam apparatus and can help provide high resolutions for all usable electron beam currents in scanning electron microscope, review, and/or inspection uses. An extracted beam can be directed at a wafer through a beam limiting aperture using the magnetic gun lens. The electron beam also can pass through an electrostatic gun lens after the electron beam passes through the beam limiting aperture.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an electron beam imaging/inspection apparatus having an electron source device to direct flood electrons on a sample immediately before image acquisition or inspection. The apparatus comprises a first device configured to charge a sample in a first mode, wherein the first device includes an electron source configured to provide a flood beam of charged particles to a first area of the sample. The apparatus also comprises a second device configured to generate a primary beam of electrons and characterize an interaction between the primary beam and a second area of the sample within the first area in a second mode. The apparatus is configured to switch from the first mode to the second mode less than 1 second.

Abstract: Objective lens alignment of a scanning electron microscope review tool with fewer image acquisitions can be obtained using the disclosed techniques and systems. Two different X-Y voltage pairs for the scanning electron microscope can be determined based on images. A second image based on the first X-Y voltage pair can be used to determine a second X-Y voltage pair. The X-Y voltage pairs can be applied at the Q4 lens or other optical components of the scanning electron microscope.

Abstract: A scanning electron microscopy system is disclosed. The system includes a sample stage configured to secure a sample having conducting structures disposed on an insulating substrate. The system includes an electron-optical column including an electron source configured to generate a primary electron beam and a set of electron-optical elements configured to direct at least a portion of the primary electron beam onto a portion of the sample. The system includes a detector assembly configured to detect electrons emanating from the surface of the sample. The system includes a controller communicatively coupled to the detector assembly. The controller is configured to direct the electron-optical column and stage to perform, with the primary electron beam, an alternating series of image scans and flood scans of the portion of the sample, wherein each of the flood scans are performed sequential to one or more of the imaging scans.
