Abstract

An electron beam system for wafer inspection and review of 3D devices provides a depth of focus up to 20 microns. To inspect and review wafer surfaces or sub-micron-below surface defects with low landing energies in hundreds to thousands of electron Volts, a Wien-filter-free beam splitting optics with three magnetic deflectors can be used with an energy-boosting upper Wehnelt electrode to reduce spherical and chromatic aberration coefficients of the objective lens.
