[0036] Embodiment 1:

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown:

[0038] The present invention provides a high-precision electron beam deflection compensation method, comprising the following steps:

[0039] S1, real-time monitoring of the deflection state of the electron beam;

[0040] S2, using the obtained deflection state as an input value to calculate the compensation amount;

[0049] In this embodiment, when obtaining the fuzzy vector, the following steps are included:

[0050] A11. Determine a fuzzy set of input values; each fuzzy set is composed of at least one fuzzy subset; specifically, for the deflection angle, there may be the following fuzzy subsets: "small deflection angle", "medium deflection angle" and "large deflection angle"; for the deflection speed, there may be the following fuzzy subsets: "small deflection speed", "medium deflection speed" and "large deflection speed";

[0053] A14. Generate fuzzy vector: combine the calculated membership values ​​into a fuzzy vector as the input of fuzzy control. The fuzzy vector contains the membership information of the input value to all fuzzy subsets.

[0054] In this embodiment, the fuzzy rules consist of a series of IF-THEN statements;

[0055] Specifically, you can set:

[0056] Rule 1: IF the deflection angle is large AND the deflection speed is fast THEN the compensation amount is large

[0057] Rule 2: IF deflection angle is in AND deflection speed is in THEN compensation amount is in
