Abstract:
A charged particle beam specimen inspection system is described. The system includes an emitter for emitting at least one charged particle beam, a specimen support table configured for supporting the specimen, an objective lens for focusing the at least one charged particle beam, a charge control electrode provided between the objective lens and the specimen support table, wherein the charge control electrode has at least one aperture opening for the at least one charged particle beam, and a flood gun configured to emit further charged particles for charging of the specimen, wherein the charge control electrode has a flood gun aperture opening.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of operating a charged particle beam specimen imaging system, comprising:\n biasing a charge control electrode to a first potential; moving a specimen support table for positioning a first portion of a specimen below a flood gun aperture opening in the charge control electrode; pre-charging the first portion of the specimen with charged particles emitted from a flood gun; and moving the specimen support table for positioning the first portion of the specimen below a first aperture opening in the charge control electrode, wherein the first aperture opening is aligned with an optical axis of an objective lens of a scanning charged particle beam unit.
