    摘要: This pattern inspection apparatus includes an inspection region information storage unit that stores an inspection region specified in a pattern region, a pattern surface height detection unit that detects a pattern surface height signal corresponding to a pattern surface height measurement position on the inspection sample, an autofocus mechanism that focuses on the inspection sample using the pattern surface height signal detected by the pattern surface height detection unit, a determination unit, and an autofocus mechanism control unit. When the determination unit determines that the pattern surface height measurement position is located within the inspection region, the autofocus mechanism control unit drives the autofocus mechanism, and the determination unit determines that the pattern surface height measurement position is not located within the inspection region, the autofocus mechanism control unit stops the autofocus mechanism.

    摘要: A charged beam lithography system includes a charged particle gun for generating charged beams, a main deflecting system and a sub-deflecting system for deflecting the charged beams generated by the charged particle gun, and a control computer. The charged beam lithography system is designed to cause the surface of a substrate to be irradiated with the charged beams from the charged particle gun while continuously moving a stage, to write a desired pattern for each of stripes defined by the maximum deflection widths of the main deflecting system and the sub-deflecting system. The charged beam lithography system further comprises: a real time proximity effect correcting circuit for calculating an optimum dosage for each of the stripes by correcting the dosage of the electron beams in view of the influence of the proximity effect; and a cash memory for storing the optimum dosage data for at least two of the stripes. Thus, the charged beam lithography system is designed to shift a divided form of the whole written region using the stripes at each wiring number of times, by a predetermined distance from a predetermined reference position in a direction perpendicular to a stage continuous moving direction, while selectively extracting the optimum dosage data from the cash memory so as to correspond to each of written stripes at each writing number of times, to write patterns. During the writing operation, the optimum dosage data corresponding to the next region to be written are transferred from the real time proximity effect correcting circuit to the cash memory, and the real time proximity effect correcting circuit calculates optimum dosages for the stripes corresponding to regions to be written after next and thereafter.

    摘要: An electron beam lithography apparatus is provided for drawing a exposure pattern on a sample by dividing the exposure pattern into a plurality of pattern elements and individually directing the electron beam to the sample at the pattern element. The size of the pattern element is adjusted in accordance with a gradient of a spatial variation of a back scattering dose. By doing so, it is possible to suppress distortion at the exposure area of one shot and to suppress an uneven edge of an exposure area row. If the size of the pattern element is made uniformly smaller, the drawing throughput is markedly lowered. The sizes of the pattern element varies in accordance with the gradient of a spatial variation of the back scattering dose and it is, therefore, possible to suppress a fall in the drawing throughput.
