    摘要: A magnetic lens assembly for providing a magnetic deflection field for a beam of charged particles is disclosed. The assembly includes a focusing lens device for providing a magnetic field which has substantially rotational symmetry in respect of a symmetry axis of the assembly and acts on the beam traversing the magnetic field as a focusing lens with an optical axis, and includes an axis shifting device for producing a corrective magnetic field which is superposable on the magnetic field provided by the focusing lens device and acts on the beam such that the optical axis is shiftable parallel to the symmetry axis of the assembly. The axis shifting device includes a first set of axially spaced apart rings which are positioned concentrically in respect of the symmetry axis and are made of a material which is substantially not electrically conductive and has a high magnetic permeability. At least one axis shifting coil is provided with a plurality of current conductor windings for producing the corrective magnetic field. The current conductor windings of the axis shifting coil engage around at least one of the rings of the first ring set.

    摘要: An electron-optical arrangement provides a primary beam path for a beam of primary electrons and a secondary beam path for secondary electrons. The electron-optical arrangement includes a magnet arrangement having first, second and third magnetic field regions. The first magnetic field region is traversed by the primary beam path and the secondary beam path. The second magnetic field region is arranged in the primary beam path upstream of the first magnetic field region and is not traversed by the secondary beam path. The first and second magnetic field regions deflect the primary beam path in substantially opposite directions. The third magnetic field region is arranged in the secondary beam path downstream of the first magnetic field region and is not traversed by the first beam path. The first and third magnetic field regions deflect the secondary beam path in a substantially same direction.

    摘要: A projection apparatus for imaging a pattern of a mask onto a substrate by means of a beam of projected charged particles is disclosed. The apparatus includes a radiation sensitive layer. The apparatus also includes a mask. The mask includes a membrane layer made of a first material, scattering regions forming the pattern and made of a second material scattering the charged particles more than the membrane layer, and a plurality of straightly extending supporting struts spaced apart from one another and supporting the membrane layer together with the scattering regions. The apparatus also includes a projection apparatus. The projection apparatus includes a beam shaping device for producing the projection beam with a predetermined projection beam cross-section in the mask plane, and a positioning device for moving the projection beam cross-section in the mask plane along a predetermined path over the mask parallel to the direction into which the struts extend. The apparatus also includes a sensor for supplying a measuring signal which is dependent on the number of charged particles impinging on a mark region provided on the mask.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for analyzing a group of at least two masks for photolithography, wherein each of the masks comprises a substructure of a total structure, which is to be introduced in a layer of the wafer in the lithographic process, and the total structure is introduced in the layer of the wafer by introducing the substructures in sequence. In this method, a first aerial image of a first one of the at least two masks is recorded, digitized and stored in a data structure. Then, a second aerial image of a second one of the at least two masks is recorded, digitized and stored in a data structure. A combination image is generated from the data of the first and second aerial images, which combination image is represented and/or evaluated.
