Publication number: 20150114294Abstract: A processing system for processing an object (3) is provided, wherein the processing system is adapted, to focus a first energy beam, in particular an electron beam (11), and a second energy beam, in particular an ion beam (21), on a focusing region (29) in which a object (3) to be processed is arrangeable. A processing chamber wall (35) having two openings (38, 39) for traversal of both energy beams and a connector (37) for supplying process gas delimits a processing chamber (45) from a vacuum chamber (2) of the processing system. Processing the object by activating the process gas through one of the energy beams and inspecting the object via one of the energy beams is enabled for different orientations of the object relative to a propagation direction of one of the energy beams.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2015Publication date: April 30, 2015Inventors: Emmerich Bertagnolli, Heinz Wanzenboeck, Wolfram Buehler, Camille Stebler, Ulrike Zeile, Alexander Rosenthal

Patent number: 8957371Abstract: Producing images of a specimen includes introducing a specimen into a specimen chamber of a particle-beam device, selecting a specific position on the surface of the specimen, supplying a contrast-agent precursor on the specific position, providing a particle beam and/or a light beam, guiding the particle beam and/or the light beam onto the specific position, applying a contrast-agent layer to the specific position as a result of the interaction of the particle beam and/or the light beam with the contrast-agent precursor, leaving the contrast-agent layer on the surface of the specimen for a predetermined amount of time. During the predetermined amount of time, a first part of the contrast-agent layer diffuses into the specimen and a second part of the contrast-agent layer remains on the surface of the specimen. The specimen is imaged using an optical device and/or a particle-optical device and/or using the particle beam.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2011Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbHInventors: Elke Haustein, Wolfram Bühler, Camille Stebler, Holger Dömer

Patent number: 8008639Abstract: A processing system comprises a gas supply apparatus with which process gas is supplied to an object. An activation beam activates the gas thereby inducing a chemical reaction between material at the surface of the object and the process gas causing ablation of material from the surface or deposition of material at the surface. The gas supply apparatus is formed from a stack of plates providing a gas conduit system between at least one gas inlet and at least one gas outlet.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2008Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Carl Zeiss NTS GmbHInventors: Wolfram Buhler, Alexander Rosenthal, Camille Stebler, Emmerich Bertagnolli, Heinz Wanzenbock
