    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus acquires magnetic resonance signals by the PI method using an RF coil unit having basic coils serving as surface coils which are arrayed with at least two coils along a static magnetic field direction (z direction) and at least two coils along each of two orthogonal x, y directions. The coils are divided into an upper unit and a lower unit. The upper unit and lower unit are fixed by a band or the like to allow them to be mounted on an object to be examined. The signals detected by the respective surface coils are sent to a data processing system through independent receiver units and formed into a magnetic resonance image.

    摘要: Charged-particle-beam (CPB) mapping projection-optical systems and adjustment methods for such systems are disclosed that can be performed quickly and accurately. In a typical system, an irradiation beam is emitted from a source, passes through an irradiation optical system, and enters a Wien filter (“E×B”). Upon passing through the E×B, the irradiation beam passes through an objective optical system and is incident on an object surface. Such impingement generates an observation beam that returns through the objective optical system and the E×B in a different direction to a detector via an imaging optical system. An adjustment-beam source emits an adjustment beam used for adjusting and aligning the position of, e.g., the object surface and/or the Wien's condition of the E×B. The adjustment beam can be off-axis relative to the objective-optical system. For such adjusting and aligning, fiducial marks (situated, e.g., in the plane of the object surface) can be used that are optimized for the CPB optical system and the off-axis optical system. Desirably, the image formed on the detector when electrical voltage and current are not applied to the E×B is in the same position as the image formed on the detector when electrical voltage and current are applied to the E×B. Also provided are “evaluation charts” for use in such alignments that do not require adjustment of the optical axis of the irradiation optical system, and from which the kinetic-energy distribution of the emitted adjustment beam is stable.

    摘要: An electron gun includes a plate-like main cathode 77 having an electron emitting surface 79 and a sub-cathode 81 provided toward the rear surface of the main cathode to heat the main cathode 77 by imparting an electron bombardment. The sub-cathode 81 is constituted of filaments 83 and 85 coiled in a double helix structure and the diameter of the sub-cathode 81 is larger than the diameter of the main cathode 77. As a result, the temperature at the peripheral area of the electron emitting surface 79 can be set higher than the temperature at the center, to achieve an electron beam with a uniform intensity distribution.

    摘要: Image-formation methods and photosensitive materials used in such methods are disclosed that form very high-resolution patterns. The photosensitive materials comprise an ingredient that is triggered by a radical to undergo a latent-image-forming reaction. The radicals are produced by photons from an illumination light. Alternatively, the ingredient is triggered by a reactive-intermediate compound that is activated by the exposure-produced radical. The photosensitive materials possess a non-linear sensitivity characteristic in which the latent-image reaction density increases according to the mth power (m>1) of the incident light intensity. The photosensitive material can be applied to a sensitive substrate for exposure. Multiple exposures of the sensitive substrate are performed using a projected mask pattern in the presence of a radical deactivator. The multiple exposures can be performed while: (a) changing the exposure intensity distribution on the photosensitive material, or (b) shifting the projected mask pattern and the sensitive substrate relative to each other by a specified amount, or (c) using a different projected mask pattern for each exposure.

    摘要: An electron-beam exposure system includes: (1) a stage for supporting a wafer, (2) a planar electron-beam source that emits multiple electron beamlets toward the stage, (3) an electric-field generator for forming an electric field to accelerate the electrons in the electron beamlets, (4) a magnetic-field generator for forming a magnetic flux in the space between the planar electron-beam source and the wafer stage. The magnetic filed generator is structured and arranged such that the magnetic flux formed thereby is (1) substantially evenly distributed within a plane perpendicular to the optical axis, and (2) of increasing flux density, ranging from a first density in the vicinity of the planar electron-beam source, to a second density (greater than the first density) in the vicinity of the wafer stage. The electrons in the electron beamlets follow the lines of magnetic flux such that the beamlet width is decreased at the stage compared to the beamlet width at the planar electron-beam source. The electron beamlets are preferably individually switchable, on and off, by word lines and bit lines on the planar electron-beam source. To form a desired pattern on a wafer surface, the stage is moved through a small area, while the electron beamlets are modulated as needed to write the desired pattern.

    摘要: An integrated semiconductor laser apparatus is constructed in such an arrangement that a core layer is located in the proximity of an active layer so as to be in an evanescent-field area of light propagating in the active layer and that a carrier concentration of a second cladding layer is higher than that of a first cladding layer. Thus, most evanescent waves of light propagating in the core layer propagate in the first cladding layer of the low carrier concentration. Since the rate of evanescent waves absorbed by carriers is very low, the integrated semiconductor laser apparatus can propagate the light with small losses.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging system includes a magnetic field applying section for applying a static field, gradient field pulses, and an RF field to an object to be examined, a signal detecting section, including a homogeneous coil and a plurality of surface coils arranged to surround a desired region of the object, for detecting magnetic resonance signals from the object through the homogeneous coil and the surface coils, and an image data processing section for obtaining an image of the desired region by synthesizing image data based on the magnetic resonance signals respectively detected by the surface coils upon weighting/adding processing. The system uses differential surface coils as the surface coils. A magnetic resonance signal is detected through the homogeneous coil within the same time interval in which magnetic resonance signals are detected through the surface coils. Weighting functions for weighting/adding processing of image data are determined on the basis of these magnetic resonance signals.
