Abstract
Provided is an electron beam system, including: an electron source, configured to generate an electron beam; a first beam guide, configured to accelerate the electron beam; a second beam guide, configured to accelerate the electron beam; a first control electrode arranged between the first beam guide and the second beam guide, configured to change movement directions of backscattered electrons and secondary electrons generated by the electron beam acting on a specimen to be tested; a first detector arranged between the first beam guide and the first control electrode, configured to receive the backscattered electrons generated by the electron beam acting on the specimen to be tested. The first control electrode according to the embodiments of the present disclosure changes the movement directions of the backscattered electrons and secondary electrons generated by the electron beam generated by the electron source acting on the specimen to be tested, so that the first detector arranged between the first beam guide and the first control electrode can receive pure backscattered electrons generated by the electron beam acting on the specimen to be tested.
