Abstract:
An apparatus may include an electrode assembly, the electrode assembly comprising a plurality of electrodes, arranged in a plurality of electrode pairs arranged to conduct an ion beam therethrough. A given electrode pair lies along a radius of an arc describing a nominal central ray trajectory, wherein a radius of a first electrode pair and an adjacent electrode pair define an angular spacing. The plurality of electrode pairs may define a plurality of angular spacings, wherein, in a first configuration, the plurality of angular spacings are not all equal. The apparatus may also include a power supply in communication with the EM, the power supply configured to independently supply voltage to the plurality of electrodes.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for controlling an ion beam, comprising:\n directing the ion beam through an electrode assembly of an electrostatic lens, the electrode assembly comprising a plurality of electrodes; assigning a plurality of unadjusted electrode voltages to the plurality of electrodes in order to conduct the ion beam along an arc defining a nominal central ray trajectory; and adjusting the plurality of unadjusted electrode voltages to a set of adjusted electrode voltages, wherein an actual beam path deviates from the nominal central ray trajectory, wherein at least one beam feature of the ion beam is altered.
