A blanking array is used for controlling an electron beam in an electron beam writing system. Electrodes in the array are formed in parallel and two sets of the parallel electrodes, orthogonal to one another, are used for dividing the electron beam into a plurality of individual exposure areas. The sets of parallel electrodes can be formed in one array by a wire mesh or in two separate arrays spaced closely together or farther apart at different focal point positions. The electrodes are provided to extend across an aperture, such as a square or triangular aperture. For a triangular aperture, the electrodes are made parallel to the hypotenuse of the triangle. The writing patterns are formed by combining the exposure areas. Control of each exposure area is realized by applying opposite polarity voltage to adjacent electrodes in order to deflect the portion of the beam passing between the adjacent electrodes. The deflected beam portions are blocked by a downstream aperture that permits the non-deflected electron beam portions to pass through for forming the patterns to be written.
摘要:
In a semiconductor circuit device fabricating process in which a reduction image projection exposure apparatus and an electron beam exposure apparatus are in a mixed use in its exposure process, pattern position shift errors for each exposure apparatus are measured and corrected at the time of drawing by means of an electron beam drawing apparatus, thereby enhancing the alignment accuracy.First, a pattern for measuring position shifts is exposed using a stepper and the electron beam drawing apparatus. Then, the position shift errors are measured using an identical coordinate position measuring device. Accidental errors have been mixed in the measurement result at this time. On account of this, measurement data at a certain point are smoothed by taking a summation average with data on the periphery thereof, thus decreasing influences of the accidental errors. Moreover, by inverting positive or negative signs of the data on the position shift errors, the data are made into correction data. Then, the correction data are stored. When an exposure is performed by the electron beam drawing apparatus with the pattern exposed by the stepper as a reference, the correction data for the two apparatuses are transferred to the electron beam drawing apparatus, the two data are added to detected mark positions, and at positions after the addition, pattern position shifts within a wafer surface are determined. At the time of exposure, the exposure is performed at positions obtained by subtracting the correction data from the determined pattern position shifts. This method makes it possible to correct both position shift errors within the wafer surface due to the stepper and position shift errors due to the electron beam drawing apparatus, thus allowing the alignment accuracy to be enhanced. Also, this result makes it possible to enhance yield for products in the fabricating process.
