摘要:
In the electron beam drawing method, the optimal irradiation amount of an electron beam in accordance with a drawing area ratio at each of drawing positions, is obtained prior to drawing a desired pattern by irradiating an electron beam on a sample. The optimal irradiation amount obtained is separated in a plurality of gradations as a correction amount for a reference irradiation amount of the electron beam. This separation is made finer as the drawing area ratio is higher. The representative correction amount data is determined for each of the plurality of gradations. The representative correction amount data determined is stored for each of the plurality of gradations, and a pattern is drawn on a sample with the optical irradiation amount corresponding to read data of the representative correction amount stored.

A method for correcting a proximity effect applied to a dose of an electron beam exposure, includes classifying an underlying pattern of a level underlying a thin film layer; dividing a processing pattern to be transferred on the thin film layer into a first pattern overlapping with the underlying pattern and a second pattern which does not overlap with the underlying pattern according to the classified underlying pattern; calculating a pattern area density for the first and second patterns in a unit region; and calculating a corrected dose for the processing pattern according to the pattern area density.

A rough pattern exceeding the resolution limit of light exposure is formed by light resolution. A fine pattern not exceeding the resolution limit of light exposure is formed by charge-beam exposure. Combining the rough pattern and the fine pattern produces a desired pattern. The sharing of the work between light exposure and charge-beam exposure exhibits the high throughput of light exposure and the excellent resolving power of charge-beam exposure.

A method for forming patterns, in which pattern transfer to the same photosensitive material on a first layer is carried out using both light exposure and charged particle beam exposure, comprises the steps of performing a predetermined geometric operation between data associated with a pattern to be transferred to the first layer and data associated with a pattern to be transferred to a second layer different from the first layer, separating the pattern data associated with the pattern to be transferred to the first layer into first exposure pattern data for charged particle beam exposure and second exposure pattern data for light exposure, and performing pattern transfer on to the first layer based on the result of the separation.

摘要:
A rough pattern is formed on a chemically amplified resist by light exposing, and a fine pattern is formed by EB exposing. The resist is heated not only after EB exposing but also after light exposing. After this, the resist on which the rough and the fine patterns are formed is developed. As a result of this, diffusion or deactivation of an acid can be suppressed, and dimensional errors can be reduced.

摘要:
A user is requested to input specifications of a semiconductor device. Based on the specifications, a plurality of circuit patterns are generated by a CP method, and a design parameter is calculated for each of the circuit patterns. The user is provided with information of the plurality of circuit patterns together with the design parameters. The user selects a desired circuit pattern, whereas the server calculates manufacturing costs of the device and presents them to the user. The user checks the costs and then places an order.
