Abstract:
According to one aspect of the present invention, a rotation angle measuring method of a multi-charged particle beam image includes two-dimensionally scanning a mark arranged on a stage in a multi-charged particle beam writing apparatus using, among multi-charged particle beams that can be used for exposure, a plurality of representative beams of which number is smaller than the number of beams constituting the multi-charged particle beams, creating a two-dimensional image of the plurality of representative beams based on signals obtained by two-dimensional scanning, and acquiring a rotation angle of the multi-charged particle beam image using the two-dimensional image.
Abstract:
A method of measuring beam positions of multi charged particle beams includes acquiring the number of beams of multi charged particle beams, needed for the measurement reproducibility of a current amount to be within the range of an allowable value, setting a plurality of measurement points depending on a desired dimensional accuracy value, in an irradiation region irradiated by the whole of the multi charged particle beams, setting, for each of a plurality of measurement points, a beam region, including a measurement point of a plurality of measurement points, irradiated by a plurality of beams whose number is the number of beams needed for the measurement reproducibility in the multi charged particle beams, and measuring, for each of a plurality of measurement points, the position of a measurement point concerned in a plurality of measurement points by using a plurality of beams of a corresponding beam region.
Abstract:
A charged particle beam writing apparatus includes an emission unit to emit a charged particle beam, a stage to mount thereon a target object to be written, an objective lens to focus the charged particle beam on a surface of the target object, a chamber to house the stage, a measurement unit to measure a partial pressure of a predetermined gas in the chamber in a state where a pressure inside the chamber is controlled to be lower than an atmospheric pressure, and an adjustment unit to adjust a focus position for focusing the charged particle beam on the target object, based on the partial pressure of the predetermined gas.
