Abstract:
An apparatus and method for processing a workpiece with a beam is described. The apparatus includes a vacuum chamber having a beam-line for forming a particle beam and treating a workpiece with the particle beam, and a scanner for translating the workpiece through the particle beam. The apparatus further includes a scanner control circuit coupled to the scanner, and configured to control a scan property of the scanner, and a beam control circuit coupled to at least one beam-line component, and configured to control the beam flux of the particle beam according to a duty cycle for switching between at least two different states during processing.

Claim (Index 11):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the beam control circuit is coupled to a particle beam deflection electrode, and wherein the beam deflection electrode is controlled to toggle the particle beam between at least two deflection states including an intersecting state and a non-intersecting state with the workpiece.
