A writing apparatus including a selector unit responsive to receipt of input data of a pattern to be written by shots of irradiation of an electron beam, configured to select a current density of the electron beam being shot and a maximal shot size thereof based on the input data of the pattern to be written; and a writing unit configured to create an electron beam with the current density selected by said selector unit, shape the created electron beam into a shot size less than or equal to said maximal shot size in units of the shots, and shoot the shaped electron beam onto a workpiece to thereby write said pattern.
摘要:
A method for adjusting an optical system of an energy beam apparatus by using a mark signal that is obtained by one-dimensionally or two-dimensionally scanning a mark on a sample with an energy beam. The mark has a one-dimensional or two-dimensional periodic structure. A first mark signal is detected by scanning the mark with a beam. The mark is set on the optical axis of the optical system. A second mark signal is detected by scanning the mark with a beam. The mark is located at a position that is deviated from the optical axis. A deviation of a deflection position is determined based on a phase difference between the first and second mark signals.

An optical element includes two electrodes 1 and 2 arranged at a distance to oppose each other and configured to converge an electron beam. The opposing surfaces of the electrodes 1 and 2 are so formed as to be cylindrically symmetrical along the beam passing direction and to form curves obtained by deforming hyperbolas in a direction perpendicular to the beam passing direction, in order that an electric field whose effective part except for an arbitrary constant of the field potential is given by.phi.=(k/2)r.sup.2 -.alpha.lnr-kz.sup.2is spatially partially formed in a cylindrical coordinate system defined by (r, z, .theta.).

A method of evaluating a shaped beam generated by a charged beam writer, comprises the steps of: a first step of shaping line beams by dividing into 1/n one side of the shaped beam having a dimension "a" in an x direction and a dimension "b" in a y direction perpendicular to the x direction, where n is the number of divisions; a second step of irradiating the shaped line beam upon a surface of the sample or the movable stage for a constant time or longer; a third step of shaping a beam by adding a bias value .delta. to each line beam width in the divided direction; a fourth step of irradiating the line beam obtained by adding the bias value to the shaped line beam upon a photosensitive substance on the sample surface for a constant time for exposure; a fifth step of repeating the fourth step exposure (n-1) times by shifting the line beam obtained by adding the bias value to the line beam, in the direction that one side of the shaped beam is divided into 1/n, and developing the photosensitive substance, to obtain a pattern width .theta.; a sixth step of repeating the above first to fifth steps by changing the number of divisions n and the bias value .delta.; and a seventh step of obtaining a change rate .DELTA..theta./.DELTA.n of the pattern width .theta. relative to the number of divisions n for each bias value .delta., to obtain an offset drift rate on the basis of the obtained change rate and the bias value. The method can evaluate a beam offset drift rate between the set beam dimension and the actual beam dimension, so that a microscopic pattern can be formed at a high precision.
