Abstract
A multi-beam charged particle system and a method of setting a working distance WD of the multi beam charged particle system are provided. With the method, the working distance is adjusted while the imaging performance of a wafer inspection task is maintained by computing parameter values of components from predetermined calibration parameter values. The method can allow a relatively fast wafer inspection task even with a wafer stage with a fixed z-position parallel to an optical axis of the multi-beam charged particle system.
