ABSTRACT:
A focused ion beam optical column includes asymmetrical three-element electrostatic upper and lower lenses, a velocity filter, an electrostatic blanker, and an electrostatic octopole deflector for maskless ion implantation, resist exposure, repair of x-ray and photo masks, micromachining, and scanning ion microscopy and microanalysis. A constant and relatively high beam energy is maintained through the mass filter and blanker. The column produces a focused beam over a wide range of final beam voltages, with the particular voltage range determined by the dimensions of three components in the column. A large working distance between the main deflector and target is provided to allow for the insertion of imaging and/or charge neutralization optics.
