Hesam Mahmoudi Nezhad, N. (author)The design of electrostatic charged particle lenses involves changing many geometrical parameters of the lens electrodes as well as changing the voltages at each lens electrodes. The objective of the design is often to get the electrons passing through the lens system to be focused at a specific point and to minimize the aberrations of the lens....doctoral thesis 2024

Mahgoub, A.M.I.M. (author)Focused electron beam induced processing (FEBIP) comprising FEBID (deposition) and FEBIE (etching) is a direct write or etch, single step technique for high resolution nano-patterning. The whole process takes place inside a single tool, the scanning electron microscope (SEM). A focused electron beam hits the sample in the presence of a precursor...doctoral thesis 2023

Garming, M.W.H. (author)Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) can capture detail on the single nanometer length scale through the interaction of a tightly focused electron beam with a sample, but this impressive spatial resolution is not matched with a capability to resolve dynamic processes on the ultrafast time scale. A variety of processes occur at nanosecond and...doctoral thesis 2022

van Kessel, L.C.P.M. (author)Electrons with an energy ranging from 0 to 50 keV are among the most versatile tools in nanotechnology. A common example is the scanning electron microscope (SEM), which focuses an electron beam with an energy ranging from several hundred eV to tens of keV on a sample. When landing on the sample, the electrons in the beam penetrate the material....doctoral thesis 2022

Weppelman, I.G.C. (author)This thesis is dedicated to the development of a beam blanker for Ultrafast Electron Microscopy. Ultrafast electron microscopy aims to resolve structural dynamics at the nanometer and (sub) picosecond time scale. In these temporal and spatial scales many important processes in physics, chemistry and biology do occur. Examples of these are the...doctoral thesis 2021

Arat, K.T. (author)Integrated circuit (IC) technology lies at the heart of today’s digital world. The immense amount of computational power that came along with the downscaling of circuits allowed us to place faster and smaller chips almost everywhere. However, with today’s requirements, even a one-nanometer error on those chips can drastically change the...doctoral thesis 2021

Scotuzzi, M. (author)To follow Moore’s law and the trend of devices to keep shrinking, the nanotechnology industry is challenged in finding a suitable technique for the mass production of integrated circuits with critical dimension in the sub-10 nm range. At the time this project started, EUV lithography, that employs light with a wavelength of 13.5 nm and thus...doctoral thesis 2019
