We present the first experimental demonstration of MEMS-based magnetic optics for control of charged particle beams. Combined function (steering and focusing) 4-pole electromagnets with a 600-µm bore and 55-µm yoke thickness (686-µm magnetic length) have been fabricated with a novel MEMS process. These 3D solenoidal multi-pole electromagnets have demonstrated hysteresis-free adjustable 2D steering and focusing of a pC-charge 34-keV electron beam with 24-mT field intensity, 220-T/m field gradient, and potential for pulsed operation beyond 100 kHz. Simple geometric optimizations promise a 4-fold improvement in both field intensity and gradient without further scaling.
