    Abstract: Axially symmetric magnetic fields are provided about the longitudinal axis of each beam of a multi-beam electron beam device. The magnetic field symmetry is independent of beam voltage, beam current and applied magnetic field strength. A flux equalizer assembly is disposed between the cathodes and the anodes and near the cathodes of a multi-beam electron beam device. The assembly includes a ferromagnetic flux plate completely contained within the magnetic focusing circuit of the device. The flux plate includes apertures for each beam of the multi-beam device. A flux equalization gap or gaps are disposed in the flux plate to provide a perturbation in the magnetic field in the flux plate which counters the asymmetry induced by the off-axis position of the beam. The gaps may be implemented in a number of ways all of which have the effect of producing a locally continuously varying reluctance that locally counters the magnetic field asymmetry. The flux equalizer assembly prevents or substantially reduces beam twist and maintains all of the electron beams of the device as linear beams.

    Abstract: Charged-particle-beam optical systems are disclosed exhibiting reduced aberrations. Such a system comprises a symmetric magnetic doublet type projection lens system and deflectors. An imaginary Z-axis is superimposed on the optical axis with an origin at an image-crossover point. Excitation of the deflectors and lenses is controlled by a controller so that the ratio of G.sub.1 (Z) to G.sub.2 (-M.multidot.Z) is substantially equal to the ratio of (-M) to 1 (i.e., G.sub.1 (Z):G.sub.2 (-M.multidot.Z)=(-M):1), and the deflection trajectory of the charged-particle beam intersects with the optical axis at a crossover Z.sub.c, where M is the magnification of the lens system, G.sub.1 (Z) is the distribution of the deflective magnetic field formed on the object side of the crossover, and G.sub.2 (Z) is the distribution of the deflective magnetic field formed on the image side of the crossover.

    Abstract: In a magnetic field immersion type electron gun for controlling an electron beam emitted by an electron gun (51) with the use of an electric lens (56) and a magnetic field lens formed by permanent magnets (57, 58) of a coaxial ion pump (53), the ion pump magnets are a pair of cylindrical permanent magnets (57, 58) disposed coaxially with an optical axis (52) of the electron gun (51) in such a way as to sandwich a cylindrical ion pump anode (61) of the coaxial ion pump; the two permanent magnets are magnetized in a mutually opposing direction; a hollow cylindrical yoke (60) is disposed also coaxially with the optical axis (52) in such a way as to enclose the two permanent magnets (57, 58) within a hollow portion thereof; and the yoke (60) is formed with an annular yoke gap (63) in a radially inner circumferential surface of the yoke (60) to leak out a magnetic flux flowing through the yoke toward the optical axis. In the above-mentioned construction, the magnetic field lens can be formed efficiently with the use of the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets for constituting the coaxial ion pump, and further the formed magnetic field lens can be superimposed upon the electron gun. Therefore, an electric field immersion type electron gun of high performance can be obtained, and further the electron gun chamber can be efficiently evacuated in the vicinity of the cathode tip of the electron gun.

    Abstract: In the nonconducting state, breakdown between concentric electrodes is determined by the Paschen law. If the inner electrode which defines the interelectrode space is perforated, ionization can occur therein, thus reducing holdoff voltage at a given pressure. Path length-limiting shielding adjacent to the electrode perforations prevents ionization within the electrode to maintain holdoff voltage, corresponding to the original electrode spacing.

    Abstract: The present invention provides two ways to form a special permeability discontinuity unit inside every sub-lens of a multi-axis magnetic lens, which either has a simpler configuration or has more flexibility in manufacturing such as material selection and mechanical structure. Accordingly several types of multi-axis magnetic lens are proposed for various applications. One type is for general application such as a multi-axis magnetic condenser lens or a multi-axis magnetic transfer lens, another type is a multi-axis magnetic non-immersion objective which can require a lower magnetomotive force, and one more type is a multi-axis magnetic immersion objective lens which can generate smaller aberrations. Due to using permeability-discontinuity units, every multi-axis magnetic lens in this invention can also be electrically excited to function as a multi-axis electromagnetic compound lens so as to further reduce aberrations thereof and/or realize electron beam retarding for low-voltage irradiation on specimen.
