摘要： A photoelectron image projection apparatus has a device for detecting an image of a pattern of a mask within a predetermined projection region of the mask. An image signal describing the detected image is compared with a reference image signal which is known from the pattern of the mask, and a defect in the projection pattern is detected when the two compared image signals differ.

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 photo-cathode image projection apparatus includes a light source for producing an optical beam, a photoelectron mask disposed so as to be irradiated by the optical beam and a photoelectron mask patterned according to a desired pattern with a material that emits photoelectrons in response to irradiation by an optical beam. The apparatus also includes a focusing device for focusing the emitted photoelectrons to form a photoelectron beam focused on the object, an acceleration electrode disposed along the path of the photoelectron beam for accelerating the photoelectrons in the beam, an elongated passage defined in the acceleration electrode to permit passage of a part of the photoelectron beam, and a stage disposed for supporting the object in a position such that the focused photoelectron beam is focused on the object. Also included is a voltage source for applying an acceleration voltage between the photoelectron mask and the acceleration electrode. The acceleration electrode is held at an electrical potential level that is identical to the electrical potential level of the stage, so that the object supported on the stage is electrically shielded from the photoelectron mask by the acceleration electrode.

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： A charged particle beam exposure system is directed to an exposure process of an electron beam for sequentially scanning an electron beam employing a blanking aperture array including a plurality of blanking apertures. The system facilitates re-focusing for compensation of focus error due to Coulumb effect and makes wiring the blanking aperture array easier. The system further allows exposure without an irradiation gap. The blanking aperture array 6 is formed with a plurality of said blanking apertures 62 arranged in a two-dimensional configuration. A control system 24 controls the blanking aperture array 62 to set the blanking aperture to the ON state where the charged particle beams pass through the blanking aperture and reach the object 19 to be exposed or the OFF state where the charged particle beams cannot reach the object 19 to be exposed. The other control system of the control means performs a control so that a plurality of said charged particle beams that have passed through different blanking apertures of said blanking aperture array overlaps and is irradiated a plurality of times onto the specified position or the peripheral position in the vicinity of the specified position of the object to be exposed to the charged particle beams.
