摘要 |
The present invention relates to a focusing lens, a charged particle beam device, and a method for focusing a charged particle beam onto a specimen, wherein the focusing lens comprises an auxiliary electrode having an essentially planar electrode surface for focusing the charged particle beam at a tilted landing angle, wherein the essentially planar electrode surface includes an auxiliary electrode angle with the optical axis of the focusing lens that is smaller than 80 degrees. With such a focusing lens, it is possible to operate a charged particle beam device at a tilted landing angle where focusing field distortions, caused by the tilted landing angle, are reduced.
