    摘要: An electron projection lithography apparatus using secondary electrons includes a secondary electron emitter which is spaced apart from a substrate holder by a first predetermined interval and has a patterned mask formed on a surface thereof to face the substrate holder, a primary electron emitter which is spaced apart by a second predetermined interval from the secondary electron emitter in a direction opposite to the substrate holder and emits primary electrons to the secondary electron emitter, a second power supply which applies a second predetermined voltage between the substrate holder and the secondary electron emitter, a first power supply which applies a first predetermined voltage between the secondary electron emitter and the primary electron emitter, and a magnetic field generator which controls a path of secondary electrons emitted from the secondary electron emitter.

    摘要: Multi-beam lithography apparatus is used for writing patterns on a substrate 14 such as a wafer for ICs. The patterns may have details of various dimensions. In order to enhance the production rate, it is attractive to write fine details with a small spot 16 and large details with a large spot. It is known to vary the spot size by varying the emissive surface of the electron source. In accordance with the invention the spot size is varied by varying the size 22 of the beam limiting aperture 20, thus enabling optimization of the beam current in dependence on the spot size. A preferred embodiment is provided with an additional (condenser) lens 24 such that the object distance remains constant when the magnification of the lens system 18, 24 is varied.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for measuring the thickness of a thin coating, having a thickness on the order of 1 to 10 nm, of one material formed over a substrate of another material of significantly different atomic number, for example, a carbon coating on a ferromagnetic substrate. A primary radiation source, for example, of electrons or X-ray, creates low-energy secondary electrons in the substrate. The intensity of inelastically scattered electrons generally increases with film thickness. The secondary electron spectrum measured for a test sample is compared with the spectra for a plurality of similar reference samples of the same set of compositions, and a test thickness is thereby determined. The method may be practice on conventional electron spectrometers with the addition of some programmed analysis. Various techniques are available for extracting the data and comparing the test and reference data.
