    摘要: A structure for grounding an extreme ultraviolet mask (EUV mask) is provided to discharge the EUV mask during the inspection by an electron beam inspection tool. The structure for grounding an EUV mask includes at least one grounding pin to contact conductive areas on the EUV mask, wherein the EUV mask may have further conductive layer on sidewalls or/and back side. The inspection quality of the EUV mask is enhanced by using the electron beam inspection system because the accumulated charging on the EUV mask is grounded. The reflective surface of the EUV mask on a continuously moving stage is scanned by using the electron beam simultaneously. The moving direction of the stage is perpendicular to the scanning direction of the electron beam.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides for various advantageous methods and apparatus of controlling electron emission. One of the broader forms of the present disclosure involves an electron emission element, comprising an electron emitter including an electron emission region disposed between a gate electrode and a cathode electrode. An anode is disposed above the electron emission region, and a voltage set is disposed above the anode. A first voltage applied between the gate electrode and the cathode electrode controls a quantity of electrons generated from the electron emission region. A second voltage applied to the anode extracts generated electrons. A third voltage applied to the voltage set controls a direction of electrons extracted through the anode.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for using high beam currents in FIB circuit edit operations, without the generation of electrostatic discharge events. An internal partial chamber is disposed over the circuit to be worked on by the FIB. The partial chamber has top and bottom apertures for allowing the ion beam to pass through, and receives a gas through a gas delivery nozzle. A non-reactive gas, or a combination of a non-reactive gas and a reactive gas, is added to the FIB chamber via the partial chamber, until the chamber reaches a predetermined pressure. At the predetermined pressure, the gas pressure in the partial chamber will be much greater than that of the chamber, and will be sufficiently high such that the gas molecules will neutralize charging induced by the beam passing through the partial chamber.

    摘要: A charged particle beam inspection apparatus includes: an electron gun emitting an electron beam; first and second condenser lenses used to focus the electron beam; a beam control panel disposed between the first and second condenser lenses; and a control unit performing stabilizing processing in which excitation currents respectively supplied to the first condenser lens and the second condenser lens are set to have predetermined values, thereby the current amount of the electron beam passing through an opening of the beam control panel is regulated so that the electron beam to be emitted onto the sample has a larger current amount than that at a measurement, and then the electron beam is emitted onto the sample for a predetermined time period. After the stabilizing processing, the control unit sets the values of the excitation currents back to values for the measurement in order to measure dimensions of the sample, the excitation currents respectively supplied to the first and second condenser lenses.

    摘要: Methods for using sub-100V electron beam landing energies for performing circuit edit operations. Circuit edit operations can include imaging for navigation and etching in the presence of a suitable gas. Low landing energies can be obtained by modifying a decelerator system of native FESEM equipment, or by using biasing means near the sample surface for decelerating electrons of the primary beam. At low landing energies near the operating voltage of a semiconductor circuit, voltage contrast effects can be visually seen for enhancing operator navigation. Low landing energies can be used during etching processes for minimizing the interaction volume of the beam and obtaining accurate and localized etching.
