SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR ALIGNING A PARTICLE BEAM AND PERFORMING A NON-CONTACT ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT ON A CELL AND/OR NON-CONTACT ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT CELL VEHICLE USING A REGISTRATION CELL

Abstract:

Systems, devices, and methods for performing a non-contact electrical measurement (NCEM) on a NCEM-enabled cell included in a NCEM-enabled cell vehicle may be configured to perform NCEMs while the NCEM-enabled cell vehicle is moving. The movement may be due to vibrations in the system and/or movement of a movable stage on which the NCEM-enabled cell vehicle is positioned. Position information for an electron beam column producing the electron beam performing the NCEMs and/or for the moving stage may be used to align the electron beam with targets on the NCEM-enabled cell vehicle while it is moving.
