摘要： The present invention provides a beam monitoring sensor which can offer both high beam monitoring precision and high speed monitoring in a multi-electron beam writing system and a monitoring method using the same. In a Faraday cup for electron beam monitoring, tantalum or a heavy metal material having an atomic number larger than that of tantalum is used to provide a Faraday cup construction having a high aspect ratio. The micro Faraday cup permits electron beam monitoring having less beam leak to a high acceleration electron beam.

摘要： An electron beam lithography apparatus and a semiconductor device pattern forming method for precisely writing patterns near the periphery of a cell mask so that large scale integrated circuits and fine structure devices are fabricated at high yield rates. Cell figures with lower aperture rates are located peripherally and cell figures with higher aperture rates are located closer to a central portion within each of aperture groups furnished on a second mask of the inventive apparatus adopting cell projection. Illustratively, on a mask for use in semiconductor device fabrication, cell figures for forming line patterns and gate patterns are located centrally and cell figures for forming hole patterns are positioned peripherally in each aperture group. This allows the peripherally located figures to be written precisely in each aperture group.
