  • Patent number: 11062875
    Abstract: A control unit for controlling a deflector in an imaging apparatus. The imaging apparatus includes an electron gun arranged to provide electron beam to scan a specimen, and the deflector. The deflector is arranged to move the electron beam in a first scanning direction and a second scanning direction that are in the same plane for scanning the specimen. The control unit is configured to determine the first scanning direction and the second scanning direction, and process the determined first scanning direction and the determined second scanning direction based on predetermined equations. The control unit is further configured to provide, based on the processing, a control signal to the deflector to adjust one or both of the first scanning direction and the second scanning direction such that they become substantially orthogonal.

  • Publication number: 20110100951
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for transferring carbonaceous material layer, a carbonaceous material layer is grown on a growth substrate, and a first continuous conveying unit is used to feed the growth substrate and a transfer material, so that a gluing layer of the transfer material is attached to the carbonaceous material layer on the growth substrate. Then, a transformation device changes a viscosity of the gluing layer for the latter to adhere to the carbonaceous material layer. A second continuous conveying unit is further used to transfer and then separate the mutually adhered transfer material and growth substrate from each other, so that some part of the carbonaceous material layer is transferred onto the gluing layer while other part of the carbonaceous material layer remains on the growth substrate. Thus, at least a one-layer-thickness of the carbonaceous material layer is transferred.
