Abstract:
Systems and methods for implementing charged particle flooding in a charged particle beam apparatus are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, a charged particle beam system includes a charged particle source and a controller which controls the charged particle beam system to emit a charged particle beam in a first mode where the beam is defocused and a second mode where the beam is focused on a surface of a sample.

Claim (Index 8):
The charged particle beam system of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n an aperture plate having a first aperture and a second aperture formed thereon, wherein the first aperture has a size larger than that of the second aperture; and a motor configured to adjust a position of the aperture plate; wherein the controller is configured to: move the aperture plate so that the first aperture is aligned with the optical axis in the first mode, and move the aperture plate so that the second aperture is aligned with the optical axis in the second mode.
