Abstract:
An electron beam exposure method includes the steps of: preparing an exposure mask having a plurality of opening patterns formed by dividing a drawing object pattern into exposable regions; and drawing the drawing object pattern by performing exposure with an electron beam passing through the opening patterns of the exposure mask. Each end portion serving as a joint in each opening pattern of the exposure mask is provided with a joining portion tapered in a width of the opening pattern. The exposure is performed in such a way that portions drawn through adjacent joining portions overlap each other.
Abstract:
There is provided an electron beam detector including an electron beam scatterer which is disposed at a predetermined distance below a shield including a plurality of openings formed therein, and a beam detection element disposed at a predetermined distance below the scatterer and configured to convert an electron beam into an electric signal. In the electron beam detector, the scatterer is disposed at an equal distance from any of the openings in the shield, and the beam detection element is disposed at an equal distance from any of the openings in the shield. Thus, the electron beam detector can suppress a variation in detection sensitivity depending on the position of the opening.
