Abstract
Abstract A deflection structure for a corpuscular beam blanking system has two deflection electrodes, a first of which is supplied with a chronologically varying potential, the second of which being connected to a chronologically constant potential for generating standard corpuscular beam pulses. The structure further includes auxiliary electrodes disposed in front of and behind the deflection electrodes in the direction of beam travel for reducing the energy spread of the corpuscular beam, the auxiliary electrodes being supplied with a static voltage.
