摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for correcting defects of an X-ray mask which includes a focused ion beam used to irradiate at least a region having a defective portion of an X-ray mask having a protective film and eliminating the protective film; exposing a circuit pattern having a defective portion located under the region or setting this circuit pattern to the state near the exposure; detecting one of the secondary electrons, secondary ions, reflected electrons, or absorbing current generated from that region and detecting a true defective position. Then positioning the focused ion beam to the true defective position and irradiating the focused ion beam to the defective portion thereby correcting the defect.
摘要:
A method of correcting a circuit pattern such as an X-ray mask, carried out by first preparing a circuit pattern structure where a circuit pattern on a conductive film is coated with a protective film, then forming a hole or a slit by irradiating a high-intensity focused ion beam to a dropout defective portion in the circuit pattern of the circuit pattern structure, and plating such hole or slit while utilizing the conductive film as a plating electrode, thereby forming a metal frame to correct the dropout defective portion.
摘要:
An IC wiring connecting method for interconnecting conductive lines of the same wiring plane of an IC chip for correcting the wiring, for interconnecting conductive lines of different wiring lanes of a multilayer IC chip at the same position, or for connecting a conductive line of a lower wiring plane of a multilayer IC chip to a conductive line formed at a separate position on the same multilayer IC chip. The insulating film or films covering conductive lines to be interconnected are processed by an energy beam such as a concentrated ion beam to form holes so as to expose the respective parts of the conductive lines where the conductive lines are to be interconnected, then a metal is deposited over the surfaces of the holes and an area interconnecting the holes by irradiating the surfaces of the holes and the area by an energy beam or a concentrated ion beam in an atmosphere of a gaseous organic metal compound to form a conductive metal film electrically interconnecting the conductive lines. Also provided is an apparatus for carrying out the IC wiring connecting method, which comprises, as essential components, an ion beam material processing system, an insulating film forming system such as a laser induced CVD unit, a conductive film forming system, and an insulating film etching system.

A method and apparatus for processing a fine pattern of a sample of one of an electronic device, molecular device and bioelement device, wherein a needle having a sharpened tip is disposed in opposed relation to the sample with a gap therebetween. A voltage is applied between the needle and the sample so as to enable a tunnel current and/or a field emission current to flow therebetween and the fine pattern is provided to correct the fine pattern by effecting at least one of removal, repositioning, annealing and film formation of at least one of individual atoms and individual molecules.
摘要:
An ion beam (113) focused into a diameter of at most 0.1 .mu.m bombards substantially perpendicularly to the superlattice layers of a one-dimensional superlattice structure and is scanned rectilinearly in a direction of the superlattice layers so as to form at least two parallel grooves (108, 109, 110, 111) or at least two parallel impurity-implanted parts (2109) as potential barrier layers, whereby a device of two-dimensional superlattice structure can be manufactured. At least two parallel grooves (114, 115, 116, 117) or impurity-implanted parts are further formed orthogonally to the potential barrier layers of the two-dimensional superlattice structure, whereby a device of three-dimensional superlattice structure can be manufactured. In addition, deposition parts (2403, 2404, 2405) may well be provided by further depositing an insulator into the grooves (108, 109, 110, 111, 114, 115, 116, 117) which are formed by the scanning of the ion beam. Owing to these expedients, the portions of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional superlattice structures can be manufactured with ease and at high precision.
摘要:
Disclosed is an apparatus for forming a device having a fine structure, the apparatus including a high intensity ion source. The apparatus can be used to form fine grooves and/or a fine film, by supplying a reactive gas to the surface to be etched or coated while irradiating a focused ion beam on the surface. A laser or electron beam can be irradiated on substantially the same axis as that of the focused ion beam, whereby defects arising due to ion beam processing can be repaired. The apparatus can further include ion beam current detection and measurement structure to determine when a predetermined thickness of coating or depth of etching is achieved. The apparatus can include multiple chambers sequentially holding the surface treated, and can include a scanning electron microscope for scanning the surface being coated or etched.
摘要:
A method for high-precision measurement of film thickness and the distribution of film thickness of a transparent film is disclosed. The method is performed during a CMP process, without being affected by the film thickness distribution among the LSI regions or on the semiconductor wafer surface. The film thickness is measured by specifying relatively level measurement regions, according to a characteristic quantity of the spectral waveform of the reflected light from the transparent film, such as the reflection intensity, frequency spectrum intensity. This permits highly accurate control of film thickness. The leveling process in CMP processing can be optimized on the basis of the film thickness distribution.
