Abstract: A carrier generation source is provided, comprising a carrier generation area configured to provide carriers and a grid electrode, the grid electrode comprising an electrically conductive carrier, the carrier having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the first side being directly adjacent the carrier generation area, the carrier having a plurality of through-holes extending from the first side through the carrier to the second side, the through-holes on the first side each having a first opening surface and the through-holes on the second side having a second opening surface, the first opening surface being larger than the second opening surface.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and a device for processing a surface of a substrate by means of a particle beam. The method comprises the irradiation of the surface of the substrate, wherein, in a first area of the surface of the substrate, the surface of the substrate is processed with the particle beam, which strikes the surface of the substrate in an unpulsed manner; and wherein, in a second area of the surface of the substrate, the surface of the substrate is processed with the particle beam, which strikes the surface of the substrate in a pulsed manner.

Abstract: A method for processing a surface, having an initial topology, using a particle beam can include processing of the surface using the particle beam at a first angle of the particle beam with respect to the surface in accordance with a target topology of the surface. The method can furthermore include subsequent processing of the surface using the particle beam at a second angle of the particle beam with respect to the surface in accordance with the target topology of the surface, wherein the second angle differs from the first angle.
