    Abstract: A multi-axis magnetic lens with stable performance in focusing a plurality of charged particle beams is provided. The multi-axis magnetic lens comprises a plurality of magnetic dub-lens modules. On the one hand, the multi-axis magnetic lens employs an annular permanent-magnet unit to provide a basic and stable magnetic flux to the plurality of magnetic sub-lens modules. One the other hand, the multi-axis magnetic lens uses a plurality of subsidiary coils to provide additional and adjustable magnetic flux to the plurality of magnetic sub-lens modules respectively. The invention also proposes a method to turn off or adjust the basic and stable magnetic flux for some applications. Hence, this invention will benefit the applications which need to execute in a long time period while keeping a high stabilization in performance.

    Abstract: The present invention provides means and corresponding embodiments to control charge-up in an electron beam apparatus, which can eliminate the positive charges soon after being generated on the sample surface within a frame cycle of imaging scanning. The means are to let some or all of secondary electrons emitted from the sample surface return back to neutralize positive charges built up thereon so as to reach a charge balance within a limited time period. The embodiments use control electrodes to generate retarding fields to reflect some of secondary electrons with low kinetic energies back to the sample surface.

    Abstract: The chromatic aberration corrector (100) has a first multipole element (110) for producing a first electromagnetic field and a second multipole element (120) for producing a second electromagnetic field. The first multipole element (110) first, second, and third portions (110a, 110b, 110c) arranged along an optical axis (OA) having a thickness and producing a quadrupole field in which an electric quadrupole field and a magnetic quadrupole field are superimposed. In the first and third portions (110a, 110c), the electric quadrupole field is set stronger than the magnetic quadrupole field. In the second portion (110b), the magnetic quadrupole field is set stronger than the electric quadrupole field. The second portion (110b) produces a two-fold astigmatism component that is opposite in sign to two-fold astigmatism components produced by the first portion (110a) and third portion (110c).
