    摘要: A device exposing an object to an electron beam employs a mask formed of a plate of material which blocks the electron beam and which has plural pattern exposure blocks defined therein, each having one or more aperture defining regions therein and, when selected, determining the shaping of the electron beam passing therethrough so as to expose a respective pattern on an object. Each aperture-defining region has a respective single aperture or respective plural, spaced apertures formed therein and having a total area size selected to be smaller than the area size of the aperture defining region, in accordance with controlling the current level of an electron beam passing therethrough, while reducing Coulomb interaction of the electron beam passing through the aperture or apertures of each aperture defining portion of the pattern exposure block.

    摘要: A method of dividing a block pattern for use in a block exposure, to be implemented on a computer, divides an arbitrary block which is to be formed in a block mask that is used for the block exposure when the arbitrary block is judged as including a prohibiting pattern which is undesirable from a point of view of the block exposure. This method comprises the steps of (a) dividing the arbitrary block in a first direction to obtain a first block having a first dividing width along a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction, (b) dividing a remaining block portion of the arbitrary block excluding the first block in the first direction to obtain a first divided portion having a second dividing width along the second direction, and merging the first dividing portion to the first block if the second dividing width is less than a predetermined width, and (c) searching the first block in the first direction after the step (b) and merging one of two adjacent first patterns within the first block to a second block if a pattern interval which is less than a predetermined value extends along the first direction between the first patterns.

    摘要: A pattern judging method which is to be implemented on a computer automatically determines whether or not a pattern should be prohibited from being formed in a mask. The pattern judging method includes the steps of (a) dividing an area of the mask where a desired pattern is to be formed into a plurality of regions, (b) calculating a predetermined physical quantity for each of the regions for a case where one or a plurality of openings corresponding to the desired pattern are formed in the mask, and (c) prohibiting the desired pattern from being formed in the mask if the predetermined quantity calculated in the step (b) exceeds a threshold value for at least one of the regions.
