    Abstract: Disclosed is a composite beam apparatus capable of suppressing the influence of charge build-up, or electric field or magnetic field leakage from an electron beam column when subjecting a sample to cross-section processing with a focused ion beam and then performing finishing processing with another beam. The Composite beam apparatus includes: an electron beam column irradiating an electron beam onto a sample; a focused ion beam column irradiating a focused ion beam onto the sample to form a cross section; a neutral particle beam column having an acceleration voltage set lower than that of the focused ion beam column, and irradiating a neutral particle beam onto the sample to perform finish processing of the cross section, wherein the electron beam column, the focused ion beam column, and the neutral particle beam column are arranged such that the beams of the columns cross each other at an irradiation point.

    Abstract: Provided is a device for optimizing a diffusion section of an electron beam, comprising two groups of permanent magnets, a magnetic field formed by the four magnetic poles extending the electron beam in a longitudinal direction, and compressing the electron beam in a transverse direction, so that the electron beam becomes an approximate ellipse; another magnetic field formed by the eight magnetic poles optimizing an edge of a dispersed electron-beam bunch into an approximate rectangle; by controlling the four longitudinal connection mechanisms so that the upper magnetic yoke and the lower magnetic yoke of the first group of permanent magnets move synchronously towards the center thereof thereby longitudinally compressing the electron beam in the shape of an approximate ellipse, and the upper magnetic yoke and the lower magnetic yoke of the second group of permanent magnets move synchronously towards the center thereof thereby longitudinally compressing the electron beam in the shape of an approximate rectangle, and the process of longitudinal compression is repeated until a longitudinal size of the electron-beam bunch is reduced to 80 mm. The invention is capable of reasonably compressing a longitudinal size of an electron-beam bunch after diffusion to approximately 80 mm, which ensures optimum irradiation uniformity and efficiency, and enables the longitudinal size to be within the range of a conventional titanium window,

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).

    Abstract: An electron gun comprises an electron emitter, an electrode surrounding the electron emitter, an extraction electrode, and a double condenser lens assembly, the double condenser lens assembly comprising a magnetic immersion pre-condenser lens and a condenser lens. In combination with a probe forming objective lens, the electron gun apparatus can provide an electron beam of independently adjustable probe size and probe current, as is desirable in electron beam applications. The electron emitter is immersed in the magnetic field generated by a magnetic type pre-condenser lens. When activated, the pre-condenser lens collimates the beam effectively to increase its angular intensity while at the same time enlarging the virtual source as compared with non-immersion case, due to geometric magnification and aberrations of its lens action. The pre-condenser lens is followed by a condenser lens. If the condenser lens is of the magnetic type, its peak magnetic field is far enough away and thus its action does not significantly affect the size of the virtual source. Independent adjustment of the lenses, combined with suitable selection of final probe forming objective aperture size, allows various combination of the final probe size and probe current to be obtained in a range sufficient for most electron beam applications.
