    摘要: A plasma apparatus generates plasma by introducing electron beams into a processing chamber filled with a reactive gas for irradiation of the reactive gas with the introduced electron beams, to process a substance by the generated plasma. The plasma apparatus has a sample base for mounting the substance to be processed so that a processing surface of the substance is not directed in a direction perpendicular to a travel direction of the electron beams introduced into the processing chamber; a suppressing section for suppressing divergence of the electron beams introduced into the processing chamber; and a control section for controlling current density distribution of the divergence-suppressed electron beams so that current density distribution of ions contained in the plasma can be uniformalized on the substance to be processed.

    摘要: In a magnetic field immersion type electron gun for controlling an electron beam emitted by an electron gun (51) with the use of an electric lens (56) and a magnetic field lens formed by permanent magnets (57, 58) of a coaxial ion pump (53), the ion pump magnets are a pair of cylindrical permanent magnets (57, 58) disposed coaxially with an optical axis (52) of the electron gun (51) in such a way as to sandwich a cylindrical ion pump anode (61) of the coaxial ion pump; the two permanent magnets are magnetized in a mutually opposing direction; a hollow cylindrical yoke (60) is disposed also coaxially with the optical axis (52) in such a way as to enclose the two permanent magnets (57, 58) within a hollow portion thereof; and the yoke (60) is formed with an annular yoke gap (63) in a radially inner circumferential surface of the yoke (60) to leak out a magnetic flux flowing through the yoke toward the optical axis. In the above-mentioned construction, the magnetic field lens can be formed efficiently with the use of the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets for constituting the coaxial ion pump, and further the formed magnetic field lens can be superimposed upon the electron gun. Therefore, an electric field immersion type electron gun of high performance can be obtained, and further the electron gun chamber can be efficiently evacuated in the vicinity of the cathode tip of the electron gun.

    摘要: A magnetic immersion field emission electron gun has a vacuum vessel having a central axis in a predetermined direction, a cathode arranged along the central axis of the vacuum vessel for generating an electron beam, an anode for forming an electron beam path by accelerating a generated electron beam in the central axis direction, an electrostatic lens arranged between the cathode and anode for generating an electric field which focuses an accelerated electron beam toward the central axis, a magnetic field generating element arranged around the electron beam path for generating a magnetic field for focusing the electron beam in order to preventing a diameter of the electron beam from expansion by an aberration of the electrostatic lens, and a moving mechanism for moving the magnetic field generating element at a position where a peak point of a strength of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating element coincides with a portion where the aberration of the electrostatic lens becomes most conspicuous. The electron gun having such a configuration can provide an effect of reducing a spherical and chromatic aberration by efficiently providing a lens characteristic to the electrostatic lens even though the entire length of electrostatic lens is long.

    摘要: A scanning electron beam is formed as a rectangular electron beam. The electro-optical system which forms this rectangular beam has a rectangular-cathode light source and a quadrupole lens system. This rectangular beam is scanned in its short-axis (X-axis) direction by a deflection system while a stage is moved in its long-axis (Y-axis) direction to achieve scanning of the surface of the wafer under inspection. The rectangular beam corresponds to a number of circular beams arranged in a row. Therefore, pixel signals corresponding to a number of pixels equal to the aspect ratio of the rectangular beam (ratio of the length in the long-axis direction to the length in the short-axis direction) are simultaneously output.
