    摘要: In a charged particle beam exposure method and an apparatus therefor, wherein the intensity of the charged particle beam used for irradiation is increased to a maximum to improve a throughput for an exposure procedure, accordingly, the temperature of a sample, such as a wafer, is elevated and thermal expansion occurs. The thermal expansion that occurs has reproducibility based on the intensity of the projected charged particle beam. Therefore, a coefficient of thermal expansion is detected by monitoring the intensity of the projected charged particle beam. A shifting distance for each irradiation position which is acquired from the thermal expansion is added as a compensation value for deflection of the charged particle beam, to provide an accurate exposure procedure.

    摘要: A method of detecting deficiency of an aperture used in a charged-particle-beam exposure process employing at least two exposure columns is disclosed, where each of the two exposure columns passes a charged-particle beam through the aperture formed through a mask to shape a cross section of the charged-particle beam before exposing the charged-particle beam onto an object. The method includes the steps of mounting masks having the same aperture to the at least two exposure columns; scanning, in each of the at least two exposure columns, the charged-particle beam over an area containing a mark on a surface substantially at the same height as the object after passing the charged-particle beam through the same aperture; obtaining, in each of the at least two exposure columns, a signal waveform corresponding to the scan by detecting charged particles scattered by the mark; and comparing the signal waveform between the at least two exposure columns.
