    Abstract: A processing method and apparatus using a focused energy beam for conducting local energy beam processing in a focused energy beam irradiating area by irradiating a sample with a focused energy beam such as an ion beam or an electron beam in an etching gas atmosphere. As the etching gas, a mixed gas different in composition from any conventional one is employed and the gas is uniformly supplied to an etching area and at least one of the components of such a mixed gas is a spontaneous reactive gas for use in etching the sample spontaneously and isotropically. With this arrangement, it is possible to subject to local etching a material for which the local etching has been impossible to provide since a single etching gas causes a reaction too fierce or causes almost nearly no reaction.

    Abstract: A semiconductor IC device having a substrate, a patterned conductor layer for interconnection of regions in the substrate and a passivation layer covering the device is provided with an additional conduction path of a pattern and/or part of the patterned conductor layer is removed for disconnection for the purpose of evaluation of the characteristics of the device. The additional conduction path is formed by forming a hole in the passivation layer to expose a part of the conductor layer, directing, in an atmosphere containing a metal compound gas, an ion beam onto the hole and onto a predetermined portion of the passivation layer on which the additional conduction path of a pattern is to be formed to thereby form a patterned film of the metal decomposed from the metal compound gas and forming an additional conductor on the patterned film. The provision of the additional conduction path and/or the removal of part of the patterned conductor layer is preformed in a chemical vapor deposition apparatus which includes a vacuum chamber and an ion beam radiation unit having a housing partitioned into, for example, first, second and third compartments. The ion beam radiation unit has an ion source placed in the first compartment, an ion beam focusing and deflecting device placed in the second compartment and pressure buffer constituted by the third compartment. The third compartment is coupled to and pneumatically isolated from the vacuum chamber for conducting an ion beam emitted from the ion source, passing the second compartment and ejected from the second compartment to the vacuum chamber.

    Abstract: A method for making a specimen for use in observation through a transparent electron microscope, includes a step of milling part of the specimen into a thin film part, which can be observed through a transparent electron microscope, by scanning and irradiating a focused ion beam onto the specimen, a step of observing a mark for detection of a position provided on the specimen as a secondary charged particle image by scanning and irradiating a charged particle beam onto the specimen without irradiating the charged particle beam onto the portion to be milled into the thin film part during the milling, and a step of compensating for positional drift of the focused ion beam during milling in accordance with a result of the observation. The method is carried out by an apparatus which includes irradiation area control means for controlling an irradiation area of the focused ion beam onto the specimen so that a surface of the specimen to be milled into the thin film part is not included in the secondary charged particle image when the secondary charged particle image of the surface, on which the mark for detecting the milling position of the specimen is formed, is displayed by the secondary charged particle image during milling part of the specimen, and compensation means for compensating the positional drift of the focused ion beam during milling in accordance with the mark for detecting the milling position.

    Abstract: A method of etching a semiconductor device having multi-layered wiring by an ion beam is disclosed which method comprises the steps of: extracting a high-intensity ion beam from a high-density ion source; focusing the extracted ion beam; causing the focused ion beam to perform a scanning operation by a voltage applied to a deflection electrode; forming a first hole in the semiconductor device by the focused ion beam to a depth capable of reaching an insulating film formed between upper and lower wiring conductors so that the first hole has a curved bottom corresponding to the undulation of the upper wiring conductor, and the upper wiring conductor is absent at the bottom of the first hole; and scanning a portion of the bottom of the first hole with the focused ion beam to form a second hole in the insulating film to a depth capable of reaching the lower wiring conductor, thereby preventing the shorting between the upper and lower wiring conductors. Further, a method of forming a hole of a predetermined shape at a surface area having a step-like portion of a semiconductor device by an ion beam is disclosed which method comprises a pre-etching step of scanning the high-level region of the step-like portion with the ion beam so that the high-level region becomes equal in level to the low-level region of the step-like portion, and a main step of scanning the whole of the surface area with the ion beam till the hole of the predetermined shape is formed in the semiconductor device.

    Abstract: In a machine for winding and inserting coils of the type wherein a flier is rotated so as to wind the conductor drawn from the flier around two blades of an insertion tooling and an auxiliary plate located radially outwardly of said two blades and spaced apart therefrom by a predetermined distance, thereby forming a coil which is directly inserted together with a wedge into slots of a magnetic core of a rotary electric machine, an improvement wherein the blades with wedge guides which form the insertion tooling are divided into alternating main and auxiliary blades equiangularly spaced apart from each other, the auxiliary blades being axially movable relative to said main blades in such a way that when the conductor is wound around a bobbin formed by two of the main blades and an auxiliary plate, the auxiliary blades are retracted away from the main blades, but when the wound coils are inserted into the slots of the magnetic core, the auxiliary blades are raised to align with the main blades, thus forming the insertion tooling. In addition, all the coils for one phase may be continuously wound so as to have only one starting lead and one finishing lead.
