A material processing system for processing a work piece is provided. The material processing is effected by supplying a reactive gas and energetic radiation for activation of the reactive gas to a surrounding of a location of the work piece to be processed. The radiation is preferably provided by an electron microscope. An objective lens of the electron microscope is preferably disposed between a detector of the electron microscope and the work piece. A gas supply arrangement of the material processing system comprises a valve disposed spaced apart from the processing location, a gas volume between the valve and a location of emergence of the reaction gas being small. The gas supply arrangement further comprises a temperature-adjusted, especially cooled reservoir for accommodating a starting material for the reactive gas.

Material processing system and method

A particle beam device, in particular an electron microscope, having at least two particle beam columns and one object slide having a receiving surface for receiving an object. The particle beam device makes it possible to align the surface of the object perpendicular to the beam axes of the particle beam columns, using simple means, in an accurate and error-free manner. The object slide assumes a basic position from which it may be tilted into the position in which the first or the second beam axis is perpendicular or at least almost perpendicular to the receiving surface of the object slide. In the basic position, a normal to the receiving surface of the object slide is spatially oriented such that an angle formed between the first beam axis and the normal is greater than or equal to an angle formed between the second beam axis and the normal.

Particle beam device

An objective lens with magnetic and electrostatic focusing for an electron microscopy system is provided whose at least partially conical outer shape allows orienting an object to be imaged at a large angle range in respect of an electron beam, said objective lens exhibiting, at the same time, good optical parameters. This is enabled by a specific geometry of the lens elements. Furthermore, an examination for the simultaneous imaging and processing of an object is proposed which comprises, besides an electron microscopy system with the above-mentioned objective lens, also an ion beam processing system and an object support.
