摘要： An electron beam radiation apparatus having an electrostatic deflector capable of deflecting the electron beam with high accuracy and with a reduced displacement of the deflection position, is disclosed. The electrostatic deflector comprises a cylindrical holding member made of an insulating material and a plurality of electrodes separately fixed from each other inside of the holding member with at least a part of the surface thereof covered with a metal film. The holding member has a plurality of wedge-shaped fixing holes corresponding to the portions of the electrodes where they are fixed, respectively, the holes having a larger diameter on the outer peripheral surface than on the inner peripheral surface of the holding member. The electrodes are fixed on the holding member in such a manner that a molten joining metal is injected in the fixing holes with the electrodes arranged on the holding member and the joining metal is hardened in close contact with the metal film of the electrodes. The electrodes fixed on the holding member are so shaped that the inner wall of the holding member is invisible from the cylinder axis of the holding member. The electrodes have a metal thin film formed, by vapor deposition, on the inner wall surface of the electrodes after being fixed on the holding member.

摘要： Disclosed is a charged-particle beam lithography system in which deterioration of a BAA chip is prevented without a reduction in the magnitude of a charged-particle beam used for exposure. The charged-particle beam lithography system has a charged-particle beam emitter source and a chip having a plurality of apertures arrayed therein. The plurality of apertures shapes a charged-particle beam emitted from the emitter source so that the cross section thereof will have a predetermined shape. The charged-particle beam lithography system uses the charged-particle beam having passed through the apertures to pattern an exposed sample. The charged-particle beam lithography system includes a mask having a plurality of apertures bored therein. The plurality of apertures is arrayed in the same manner as the plurality of apertures arrayed in the chip, and has a size that is any multiple of the size of the apertures of the chip. The mask is located on a path, along which the charged-particle beam travels, between the charged-particle beam emitter source and chip.

摘要： An electron gun includes an electron source configured to emit electrons. The electron source includes an electron emission region configured to emit the electrons and an electron emission restrictive region configured to restrict emission of the electrons. The electron emission restrictive region is located on a side surface of the electron source except an electron emission surface on a tip of the electron source and is covered with a different material from the electron source. The electron gun emits thermal field-emitted electrons by applying an electric field to the tip while maintaining a sufficiently low temperature to avoid sublimation of a material of the electron source. The material of the electron source may be lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) or cerium hexaboride (CeB6). The electron emission restrictive region may be covered with carbon.
