Abstract
A two-stage achromatic E x B mass separator has been designed for a hi gh-current focused ion beam column with collimated beam. The separator consists of two homogeneous field E x B filters, a stigmator and the separation aperture. The second-order geometrical and chromatic aberra tion coefficients are derived and their dependence on magnetic pole pi ece and electrode geometry are investigated in performing electric and magnetic field calculations. The influence of the mass separator on t he spatial resolution of the column is discussed.
