Filed: 2003-01-17
Abstract: A method and apparatus for aligning a charged particle beam (24) with an
aperture includes providing a hollow beam aperture means (10) adapted for shaping
a charged particle beam into a hollow charged particle beam. Then direct the
charged particle beam through the aperture. Provide deflection coils (22) for
deflecting the charged particle beam relative to the aperture. Vary the
current to the alignment deflection coils while measuring the aperture
electrical current generated by charged particles reaching the hollow beam
aperture as a function of the current to the alignment deflection coils. Then
adjust the current in the alignment deflection coils based on the aperture
electrical current to center the charged particle beam on the hollow beam
aperture. Preferably, separate hollow beam and peripheral beam apertures
with associated sensing and current are used to center the beam on
respective ones of the apertures.
