    Abstract: In one embodiment, a charged particle beam drawing apparatus deflects a charged particle beam with a deflector to draw a pattern. The apparatus includes a storage unit that stores an approximate formula indicating a correspondence relationship between a settling time for a DAC amplifier that controls the deflector, and a position shift amount, from a design position, of a drawn position of each evaluation pattern drawn on a first substrate while the settling time and an amount of deflection by the deflector are changed, a shot position correction unit that creates a correction formula indicating a relationship between an amount of deflection and a shot position shift amount at the settling time, from the approximate formula and the settling time for the DAC amplifier based on an amount of deflection of a shot, obtains a position correction amount by using the amount of deflection of the shot and the correction formula, and corrects a shot position defined by the shot data based on the position correction amount, and a drawing unit that performs drawing by using the shot data with a corrected shot position.

    Abstract: A multi-beam apparatus for observing a sample with high resolution and high throughput is proposed. In the apparatus, a source-conversion unit forms plural and parallel images of one single electron source by deflecting plural beamlets of a parallel primary-electron beam therefrom, and one objective lens focuses the plural deflected beamlets onto a sample surface and forms plural probe spots thereon. A movable condenser lens is used to collimate the primary-electron beam and vary the currents of the plural probe spots, a pre-beamlet-forming means weakens the Coulomb effect of the primary-electron beam, and the source-conversion unit minimizes the sizes of the plural probe spots by minimizing and compensating the off-axis aberrations of the objective lens and condenser lens.

    Abstract: This scanning electron microscope is provided with: a deceleration means that decelerates an electron beam (5) when the electron beam is passing through an objective lens; and a first detector (8) and a second detector (7) that are disposed between the electron beam and the objective lens and have a sensitive surface having an axially symmetric shape with respect to the optical axis of the electron beam. The first detector is provided at the sample side with respect to the second detector, and exclusively detects the signal electrons having a high energy that have passed through a retarding field energy filter (9A). When the distance between the tip (13) at the sample side of the objective lens and the sensitive surface of the first detector is L1 and the distance between the tip at the sample side of the objective lens and the sensitive surface of the second detector is L2, then L1/L2≦5/9. As a result, when performing low-acceleration observation using a deceleration method by means of a scanning electron microscope, it is possible to detect signal electrons without the effect of shading in a magnification range of a low magnification on the order of hundreds of times to a high magnification of at least 100,000×. Also, it is possible to highly efficiently detect backscattered electrons, of which the amount generated is less than that of secondary electrons.

    Abstract: Deflectors are disclosed that are suitable for use in various charged-particle-beam (CPB) optical systems as used, for example, in CPB microlithography systems. The deflectors produce a strong magnetic beam-deflecting field when energized with a relatively small electrical current. The beam-deflecting field thus produced is stable with respect to temperature changes, is little affected by eddy currents, and exhibits low aberration caused by manufacturing tolerances of the coil and core. In an exemplary method for manufacturing such a deflector, a magnetic-tape laminate is used as the core. Also, high-precision positioning of the coil and the magnetic-tape laminate is performed using photolithography and electrocasting. Positioning of the magnetic-tape laminate can be performed using a resist pattern formed by photolithography.
