ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method of calibration of the beam position of a corpuscular beam. A calibration body with structures is used, wherein the structures have a structure period PSin the plain section and within each structure there is a position L intended for the measurement. For the calibration, at least one detection signal each at structures in the plain section of the calibration body is generated, wherein the corpuscular beam is deflected with deflectors on beam target positions L1with the beam target period P1, which is larger than half of the structure period PS, whereby a basic calibration is used for the control of the deflectors, and wherein the beam target deflections deviate either in the beam target period P1from the structure period PSand/or in the beam target position L1from the position L.
