6.6.6.3. Adjusting a high probe current (nA)

For the higher currents (nA range) usually the largest apertures need to be selected. It is very dif-
ficult to achieve a circular beam profile without halo by using the Focus wobble
procedure.

Precondition:

•

Piece of silicon is loaded

•

Probe currents have been adjusted roughly as described for pA probe currents (see previous
section).

Procedure:

Burn a spot into the specimen for about

5 s

Use the

Spot

mode.

Check the halo.

If the spot is not round, move the aperture one

step in one direction.

Burn a new spot.

If the halo is reduced, continue moving the

aperture in this direction.

If the halo is increased, move the aperture in

the opposite direction.

Repeat steps 4 to 5 until the burned spot is

round.
