摘要:
A blanking array is used for controlling an electron beam in an electron beam writing system. Electrodes in the array are formed in parallel and two sets of the parallel electrodes, orthogonal to one another, are used for dividing the electron beam into a plurality of individual exposure areas. The sets of parallel electrodes can be formed in one array by a wire mesh or in two separate arrays spaced closely together or farther apart at different focal point positions. The electrodes are provided to extend across an aperture, such as a square or triangular aperture. For a triangular aperture, the electrodes are made parallel to the hypotenuse of the triangle. The writing patterns are formed by combining the exposure areas. Control of each exposure area is realized by applying opposite polarity voltage to adjacent electrodes in order to deflect the portion of the beam passing between the adjacent electrodes. The deflected beam portions are blocked by a downstream aperture that permits the non-deflected electron beam portions to pass through for forming the patterns to be written.

In order to provide a high-speed and high accuracy cell projection exposure apparatus which increases a pattern projection number extremely, a plurality of stencil masks mounting a transferal aperture and a transmission aperture are provided and are positioned by a drive stage, the electron beam passes through a transmission aperture of other stencil masks while selecting the aperture on a stencil mask with a beam deflection device, the transmission aperture is provided for a mask transfer direction in succession, the stencil mask is moved while being transmitted with the beam, and other stencil mask transfer is executed when specified stencil mask aperture group is exposed. These operations are repeated so that all exposure processes are performed.

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.
