    Abstract: A seal member to be contacted with an observation object is provided at an open end of a lens barrel so that the observation object can be attracted to the lens barrel via the seal member and fixed in direct and close contact with the lens barrel when a vacuum is created in the lens barrel by a vacuum pump. In other words, instead of providing a sample chamber, the observation object is fixed in close contact with the lens barrel to prevent relative movement therebetween by a suction force even without a sample chamber. In this configuration, the interior of the lens barrel can be maintained in a vacuum state despite the absence of a sample chamber and no adverse effect occurs during observation because the lens barrel and the observation object are not moved relative to each other by vibration.

    Abstract: A material processing system for processing a work piece is provided. The material processing is effected by supplying a reactive gas and energetic radiation for activation of the reactive gas to a surrounding of a location of the work piece to be processed. The radiation is preferably provided by an electron microscope. An objective lens of the electron microscope is preferably disposed between a detector of the electron microscope and the work piece. A gas supply arrangement of the material processing system comprises a valve disposed spaced apart from the processing location, a gas volume between the valve and a location of emergence of the reaction gas being small. The gas supply arrangement further comprises a temperature-adjusted, especially cooled reservoir for accommodating a starting material for the reactive gas.

    Abstract: A device is provided for cleaning a surface by introducing a highly reactive gas mixture to the surface. The highly reactive gas mixture may include excited species such as ozone and relate excited ions, atoms, and electrons. The excited gas mixture then oxidizes undesirable materials on the surface. The device includes a structure which defines an enclosed space when placed against the surface to be cleaned. A set of one or more electrodes are positioned within the device such that an electrical discharge across the electrodes excites the selected gases species. The electrodes are attached to a power supply capable of generating a high frequency, high voltage discharge. A tube is provided for transporting selected gases, such as air or oxygen, to the enclosed space. Another tube is provide for removing reaction products from the enclosed space. This tube is place in communication with a source of suction for establishing a flow of gases into and out of the enclosed space.

    Abstract: A charged particle beam lithography machine includes a beam source and beam steering and forming elements within an evacuated column. A stage assembly for supporting a semiconductor wafer or mask is positioned in ambient and proximate the exit end of said beam steering and forming elements. A vacuum envelope apparatus is affixed to the exit end of the beam steering and forming elements so that the outer surface or tip of the vacuum envelope apparatus rests in spaced apart, close coupled opposition to the wafer or mask supported on the stage. The vacuum envelope apparatus includes internal structural members which define an internal vacuum processing zone and at least one surrounding intermediate vacuum zone. A graded vacuum seal is formed between the tip of the vacuum envelope and the mask or wafer. The seal extends from the internal vacuum processing zone to the external ambient. Lithographic operations are conducted on the mask or wafer as relative motion between the stage assembly and the beam steering and forming elements is accomplished.
