Patent ID: 7378830

Claim:
An apparatus for characterization of a micro beam, comprising: a micro modified Faraday cup body positioned in the path of the micro beam, said micro modified Faraday cup body having a center hole and said micro modified Faraday cup body including an outer portion located radially outward from said center hole and an inner portion located radially outward from said center hole and having a first radially positioned set of traces located in said outer portion of said micro modified Faraday cup body, a second radially positioned set of traces located in said inner portion of said micro modified Faraday cup body, a first measuring diagnostic network in said modified Faraday cup body operatively connected to said first radially positioned set of traces and positioned to detect the micro beam that passes through said first radially positioned set of traces, and a second measuring diagnostic network in said modified Faraday cup body operatively connected to said second radially positioned set of traces and positioned to detect the micro beam that passes through said second radially positioned set of traces.
