=================================================================================
The beam blanking deflectors in both EMs and FIB have similar functions. Table 2464 lists the function of each part in the FIB, including the beam blanking deflector.
Table 2464. The function of each part in the FIB.
Part |
Function |
LMIS |
Ion source |
Suppressor |
Improves the distribution of extracted
ions |
Extractor |
High tension used for ion extraction: Typical accelerating voltage in FIB systems ranges from 1 to 30 keV |
Spray aperture |
First refinement |
1st lens (condenser lens) |
Parallelize the ion beam: probe forming |
Upper octopole |
Stigmator |
Beam defining aperture
|
Defines current: A set of apertures define the probe size and provides a range of ion currents (10 pA – 30 nA) |
Blanking deflector |
Beam blanking: Beam blankers are used to deflect the beam away from the centre of the column |
