    摘要: Embodiments of the invention generally provide an electron beam substrate processing system. In one embodiment, the present invention provides an electron beam substrate processing system where a spindle shaft used to rotate substrates during processing includes two encoder wheels. One encoder wheel is configured to provide a rotational speed data signal to a rotational speed control system. Another encoder wheel is configured to provide a pattern generator clock signal at a higher frequency than the rotational speed data signal to a pattern generator. In one embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the encoder wheels is positioned adjacent the substrate to minimize torsional and differential movements between the at least one encoder wheel and the substrate.

    摘要: An apparatus for and method of writing multiple radial locations during a single rotation by deflection and modulation of a recording beam, employs an electron beam with a width that is narrower than a radial width of the exposure pattern. Instead of employing multiple exposure passes, with each offset from the other by a certain radial distance, the apparatus performs the write of the pattern in a single pass. During this single pass, controlled by a single rotation of the turntable on which the disk recording medium is located, the electron beam is deflected in a radial direction by a required amount and modulated in synchronization with the radial deflection. This synchronization of the beam modulation with the beam deflection allows a plurality of tracks to be written or exposed in a single pass.
