LMIS state monitoring.
• I-Column: Aperture Management
Controls the ion beam aperture strip holes condition.
• I-Column: Manual Beam Alignment
• I-Column: Alignments
Stages
• Stage Alignments – set of utilities:
– Stage Rotation Center – sets the stage rotation centre for the compucentric rotation.
– Eucentric Height – defines the eucentric position.
– R Zero Alignment – sets zero rotation position of the holder for STEM range definition.
– Tilt Zero Alignment – sets the stage tilt zero position.
– Tilt-X Correction – sets the correction in X direction when tilting the stage.
EasyLift
• EasyLift Needle Exchange/Calibration (option – see Chapter 7)
Others
• 154 – Water Bottle Venting
Enables to vent the water bottle in case of refilling.
• External Plasma Cleaning / Plasma Cleaning
Enables the chamber plasma cleaning and sets duration of the specimen plasma cleaning.
• Pump Buffer
Enables to pump down the vacuum buffer.
• Vacuum Actions (U) – set of utilities:
– Start / Stop IGPs – enables to start / stop vacuum pumps in case of power failure, emergency or service actions
– Pump / Vent Actions (U) – enables to pump / vent particular vacuum system sections
• GIS Alignment (option)
Resets the GIS crucible filling lifetime counter after its exchange, sets the GIS heating temperature and performs
GIS mechanical alignment.
