| Zusammenfassung: | A multi-beam particle microscope can provide improved beam current control. Excess electrons discharged from one or just a few regions of an absorber layer provided on a multi-aperture array can be measured via an ammeter. The measured currents can be used as controlled variables in a closed loop control. The measurement can be large-area and low-noise. The multi-aperture array can be specifically structured to also realize a direction sensitive detection, for example via a quadrant detector or a tertial detector. |
