摘要： A method for providing charged particle beam exposure onto an object having a plurality of chip areas with a plurality of aligning marks formed in correspondence to each of said chip areas. A charged particle beam is irradiated upon an object mounted on a mobile step based upon positions of the aligning marks. Actual positions of the alignment marks are detected and compared to the design positions of the alignment marks to determine approximate relationships which are used to calculate an actual position to perform exposure.

摘要： To improve the throughput of an exposure system, the setting time during a step change in the output of an amplifier is reduced by switching resistance between the amplifier and a deflector. A glitch waveform generated during a step change in the output of a D/A converter at the preceding stage of the amplifier is anticipated and is cancelled out with a correction waveform. After the output of the D/A converter has settled, this output is sample-held and the step change is interpolated with a smoothing circuit. The deflection area is increased by positioning an electrostatic deflector offset around the optical axis relative to another electrostatic deflector, and the response speed of the main deflection is improved by adding auxiliary deflection coils of one or two turns. The alignment time is reduced by combining the coordinate conversion in the wafer area and in the chip area. In order to correct the astigmatism of the electromagnetic lens, two stages of coils are provided and an electric current corresponding to the quantity of deflection is supplied to the coils.

摘要： A charged particle beam exposure apparatus employs a main deflector made of electromagnetic coils and a subdeflector made of electrostatic deflection electrodes. An exposure method used for this apparatus is capable of shortening a wait time of the main deflector. The main deflector deflects a charged particle beam in a direction X, while the subdeflector deflects the beam around the deflecting position of the main deflector to expose an object to the beam. An area to be exposed on the object is divided into thin subfields such that the width, in an X-axis direction of each subfield, is approximately 1/3 the length in a Y-axis direction of the same.
