    摘要: An electron-beam exposure system includes: (1) a stage for supporting a wafer, (2) a planar electron-beam source that emits multiple electron beamlets toward the stage, (3) an electric-field generator for forming an electric field to accelerate the electrons in the electron beamlets, (4) a magnetic-field generator for forming a magnetic flux in the space between the planar electron-beam source and the wafer stage. The magnetic filed generator is structured and arranged such that the magnetic flux formed thereby is (1) substantially evenly distributed within a plane perpendicular to the optical axis, and (2) of increasing flux density, ranging from a first density in the vicinity of the planar electron-beam source, to a second density (greater than the first density) in the vicinity of the wafer stage. The electrons in the electron beamlets follow the lines of magnetic flux such that the beamlet width is decreased at the stage compared to the beamlet width at the planar electron-beam source. The electron beamlets are preferably individually switchable, on and off, by word lines and bit lines on the planar electron-beam source. To form a desired pattern on a wafer surface, the stage is moved through a small area, while the electron beamlets are modulated as needed to write the desired pattern.

    摘要: The invention relates to an electron energy filter for electron microscopes as well as to an electron microscope equipped with such a filter. The filter comprises three sector magnets with the deflection field in the first sector magnet being homogeneous. The deflection field in each of the two other sector magnets is an inhomogeneous gradient field. To generate the gradient field, the pole pieces of the two other sector magnets have the form of segments of truncated double cones. The electron beam passes the first homogeneous sector magnet twice. Multipole elements are arranged in front of, behind and between the three sector magnets. The filter has a large dispersion also for high-energy electrons while at the same time providing a compact configuration. All second-order aberrations and the significant second-rank aberrations are corrected by means of the multiple elements.

    摘要: A deflective focusing system includes a magnetic lens for focusing a charged particle beam, a plurality of rings made of magnetic material arranged substantially concentrically with the magnetic lens inside of the magnetic lens, the rings being arranged at spaced apart positions in the direction of the central axis of the magnetic lens so as to form a predetermined magnetic focusing field distribution, a one-stage electrostatic deflector having a plurality of deflection electrodes which are spaced apart in a circumferential direction of the magnetic lens, which are arranged substantially concentrically with the magnetic lens inside of the magnetic lens, and which extend in the direction of the central axis so as to form a predetermined electrostatic deflection field distribution, so that the charged particle beam passes through the concentrically arranged deflection electrodes to be deflected in accordance with a voltage applied to the deflection electrodes, and ring-like grounding electrodes disposed substantially concentrically with the magnetic lens on the object plane side and the image plane side of the electrostatic deflector along the passage of the charged particle beam. The electromagnetic field is adjusted by the deflector, the rings and the grounding electrodes to obtain small aberrations and a small landing angle.

    摘要: An electron lens equipped with three magnetic pole pieces defining two gaps forms two magnetic fields. The magnetic fields are generated in said gaps by opposite and same strength excitation. The bore diameters of the middle and lower magnetic pole pieces are equal and the bore diameter of the upper magnetic pole piece is 1.5 to 5 times larger than those of the middle and lower magnetic pole pieces, so that radial (isotropic) distortion is eliminated and spiral (anisotropic) distortion is extremely reduced.

    摘要: This invention relates to an error compensating arrangement for use with the deflection system in a conducting magnetic tube such as that of an electron microscope or the like. More particularly, compensating coils are provided to correct time lag errors due to eddy currents set up in permeable magnetic enclosures which surround the principal deflection coils and act essentially as pole-pieces.

    摘要: In an electron microscope having a velocity filtering system involving reflection in a prism, the normal objective lens is replaced by a complex lens comprising three electrostatic lens elements. This arrangement enables the order of image and diffraction diagram in the propagation path to be reversed, so that the diffraction diagram can be filtered as well as the image.
