  • Charged particle source with light monitoring for tip temperature determination
    Patent number: 8993981
    Abstract: Systems and methods for heating an apex of a tip of a charged particle source are disclosed. The charged particle source can be, for example, a gas ion source. The systems can include a detector configured to detect light generated by the tip apex, and a controller coupled with the charged particle source and the detector so that the controller can control heating of the tip apex based on the light detected by the detector.
    Type: Grant
