    摘要: A gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) etching apparatus having a system for producing a gas cluster ion beam utilized to controllably etch a substrate. The gas cluster ion beam is initially directed along a preselected longitudinal axis. A portion of the GCIB etching apparatus is operably connected to the beam producing system and contains the substrate to be etched when impacted by said gas cluster ion beam. The portion of the GCIB etching apparatus includes a system for directing the gas cluster ion beam in a direction offset from the preselected longitudinal axis while permitting unwanted ionizing radiation to remain directed along the longitudinal axis. A substrate holder is located within a portion of the GCIB etching apparatus for positioning the substrate in line with the offset gas cluster ion beam during the etching process, and the unwanted ionizing radiation being substantially prevented from impinging upon the substrate during the etching process.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for scanning a charged particle beam. The apparatus includes scan elements and a scan signal generator for generating scan signals for scanning the charged particle beam in a scan pattern having a scan origin. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a position controller for positioning the scan elements based on a parameter of the charged particle beam, such as energy. The scan elements may be positioned to achieve a fixed position of the scan origin for different beam energies. In another embodiment, the apparatus includes first and second sets of scan elements and a scan signal controller for controlling the scan signals supplied to the sets of scan elements based on a parameter of the charged particle beam, such as energy. The scan signal controller may control the ratio of the scan signals applied to the sets of scan elements, or may deenergize a set of scan elements, to minimize space charge forces on the charged particle beam that may reduce beam transmission through the apparatus.

    摘要: The inventions relate to a group that includes means for directing charged particles, enabling the acceleration and interaction thereof, and producing radiation caused by their movement, namely a method for changing the direction of an accelerated charged particle beam, a device for implementing said method, a source of undulator electromagnetic radiation, a linear and a circular charged particle accelerator, and a collider and means for producing a magnetic field created by a stream of accelerated charged particles. The method and the device for implementing same are based on the use of a curved channel (1) for transporting particles, which is made from a material that is able to be electrically charged, and the formation of the same kind of charge on the inside surface of the channel wall as that of the particles. The characterizing feature of these inventions is that they require the maintenance of a condition that relates the energy and the charge of the particles to the geometrical parameters of the channel, in particular the radius R of curvature of the longitudinal axis (14) thereof, and to the electrical strength of the wall material. The other devices in this group include a device for changing the direction of a beam, which defines the trajectory of the particles inside these devices to produce the required shape according to the function of the corresponding device and focuses the beam. The technical result is the possibility of rotating the beam through large angles without loss of intensity, significantly simplifying the design, and also reducing the mass and dimensions of all the devices, particularly by obviating the need for magnets and supply voltage and control voltage sources for such devices.

    摘要: Die Erfindung betrifft elektrostatische Ablenksysteme für Korpuskularstrahlen, die insbesondere für mikro- und nanostrukturierte Anwendungen in Lithographieanlagen oder Messgeräten einsetzbar sind. Gemäß der gestellten Aufgabe sollen die einzelnen Elektroden eines solchen Ablenksystems dauerhaft eine sehr genaue axialsymmetrische Anordnung zueinander aufweisen und beibehalten. Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen elektrostatischen Ablenksystem sind stabförmige Elektroden in axialsymmetrischer Anordnung in einem innen hohlen Träger gehalten, durch den ein Korpuskularstrahl gerichtet werden kann. Der Träger ist dabei aus mindestens zwei und maximal vier miteinander verbindbaren Trägerelementen gebildet.
