    摘要: We disclose method for materials deposition on a surface inside an energetic-beam instrument, where the energetic beam instrument is provided with a laser beam, an electron beam, and a source of precursor gas. The electron beam is focused on the surface, and the laser beam is focused to a focal point that is at a distance above the surface of about 5 microns to one mm, preferably from 5 to 50 microns. The focal point of the laser beam will thus be within the stream of precursor gas injected at the sample surface, so that the laser beam will facilitate reactions in this gas cloud with less heating of the surface. A second laser may be used for cleaning the surface.

    摘要: A single-channel optical processing system for an energetic-beam instrument has separate sources for processing radiation and illumination radiation. The processing radiation and the illumination radiation are combined in a single optical path and directed to a sample surface inside the energetic-beam instrument through a self-focusing rod lens. The self-focusing rod lens thus has a working distance from the sample surface that will not interfere with typical arrangements of ion beams and electron beams in such instruments. A combination of polarizers and beam splitters allows separation of the combined incident radiation and the combined radiation reflected from the sample surface and returned through the same optical channel, so that the reflected radiation may be directed to an optical detector, such as a camera or spectrometer. In other embodiments, additional illumination of the sample surface is provided at an angle to the central axis of the self-focusing rod lens.

    摘要: A precursor delivery system for an irradiation beam instrument having a vacuum chamber includes an injection tube for injecting gasses into the vacuum chamber of the instrument and a main gas line having an inlet and an outlet. The outlet is connected to the injection tube, and the inlet is connected to a sequential pair of valves connected to a carrier gas source. A crucible for holding precursor material is selectively connected to the main gas line at a location between the pair of valves and the injection tube. The source of carrier gas may be selectively connected to the inlet by sequential operation of the pair of carrier gas valves, so that pulses of carrier gas assist the flow of precursor material to the injection tube. Rapid purging of the system between precursors is enabled by a valve selectively connecting the main line to an envelope in communication with the instrument vacuum. Methods of CVD and etching using the system are also disclosed.
