    摘要: In a magnetic field immersion type electron gun for controlling an electron beam emitted by an electron gun (51) with the use of an electric lens (56) and a magnetic field lens formed by permanent magnets (57, 58) of a coaxial ion pump (53), the ion pump magnets are a pair of cylindrical permanent magnets (57, 58) disposed coaxially with an optical axis (52) of the electron gun (51) in such a way as to sandwich a cylindrical ion pump anode (61) of the coaxial ion pump; the two permanent magnets are magnetized in a mutually opposing direction; a hollow cylindrical yoke (60) is disposed also coaxially with the optical axis (52) in such a way as to enclose the two permanent magnets (57, 58) within a hollow portion thereof; and the yoke (60) is formed with an annular yoke gap (63) in a radially inner circumferential surface of the yoke (60) to leak out a magnetic flux flowing through the yoke toward the optical axis. In the above-mentioned construction, the magnetic field lens can be formed efficiently with the use of the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets for constituting the coaxial ion pump, and further the formed magnetic field lens can be superimposed upon the electron gun. Therefore, an electric field immersion type electron gun of high performance can be obtained, and further the electron gun chamber can be efficiently evacuated in the vicinity of the cathode tip of the electron gun.

    摘要: A wafer plasma-etching apparatus includes electron generating, accelerating and processing chambers. Electron are drawn out of plasma generated in the electron generating chamber, accelerated in the accelerating chamber and introduced, as an electron beam, into the process chamber. A semiconductor wafer is positioned flat and parallel to an electron introducing direction in the process chamber. Process gas is introduced into the process chamber and excited into plasma by the electron beam. The wafer is etched by this plasma. Magnetic field is formed at the entrance of the process chamber such that the electron beam is divided to both sides of its extended center line in a horizontal plane and compressed flat in a vertical plane. The magnetic field is also formed such that the electron beam is carried in the horizontal direction at a position where the wafer is arranged in the process chamber. A sheet-like plasma region having a higher density of ions and a more uniform distribution thereof can be thus formed all over the surface of the wafer.
