Abstract

The research on multi electron beam systems is being carried out by various methods. We are studying multi electron beam system using miniaturized electron beam columns. The column consists of electrostatic lenses, electrostatic deflector and tip emitter. Our operating system controls 4 column array, captures images of each column and maintains the instrument. We present the usefulness of our operating system for multi columns by capturing images of each column.
