    摘要: A method of manufacturing an emitter is disclosed. The method enables a crystal structure of the tip of the front end of the emitter to return to its original state with high reproducibility by rearranging atoms in a treatment, and enables a long lasting emitter to be attained by suppressing extraction voltage rise after the treatment. As a method of manufacturing an emitter having a sharpened needle-shape, the method includes: performing an electropolishing process for the front end of an emitter material having conductivity to taper toward the front end; and performing an etching to make the number of atoms constituting the tip of the front end be a predetermined number or less by further sharpening the front end through an electric field-induced gas etching having constantly applied voltage, while observing the crystal structure of the front end, by a field ion microscope, in a sharp portion having the front end at its apex.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a mask repair apparatus capable of efficiently repairing a defect of a target EUVL mask. The mask repair apparatus repairs the defect of the target extreme ultra violet lithography (EUVL) mask having a reflective layer, a first layer disposed on the reflective layer, and a second layer disposed on the first layer, and a third layer disposed on the second layer. The mask repair apparatus performs etching of the third layer by a first etching method, and after the etching of the third layer by the first etching method, performs etching of the second layer by the second etching method different from the first etching method.

    摘要: A focused ion beam apparatus has an ion source chamber in which is disposed an emitter for emitting ions. The surface of the emitter is formed of a precious metal, such as platinum, palladium, iridium, rhodium or gold. A gas supply unit supplies nitrogen gas to the ion source chamber so that the nitrogen gas adsorbs on the surface of the emitter. An extracting electrode is spaced from the emitter, and a voltage is applied to the extracting electrode to ionize the adsorbed nitrogen gas and extract nitrogen ions in the form of an ion beam. A temperature control unit controls the temperature of the emitter.
