    摘要: In one embodiment, a charged particle beam writing device writes sequentially patterns to a plurality of deflection positions on a target object by deflecting a charged particle beam by a deflector. The device includes a storage storing relation information indicating a relationship between a time elapsed since a start of deflection by the deflector and an amount of position shift in a shot position to which the charged particle beam is shot, a shot position corrector obtaining a first amount of position shift corresponding to an n-th (where n is an integer greater than or equal to 2) deflection position in sequential pattern writing and a second amount of position shift corresponding to an n−1-th deflection position by using by using a settling time and a shot time of the deflector and the relation information, obtaining an amount of position correction by adding up the first amount of position shift and the second amount of position shift, and correcting a shot position, and a writer emitting the charged particle beam to the n-th deflection position by using the shot data for which the shot position has been corrected, and writing a pattern.

    摘要: A light modulated electron source utilizes a photon-beam source to modulate the emission current of an electron beam emitted from a silicon-based field emitter. The field emitter's cathode includes a protrusion fabricated on a silicon substrate and having an emission tip covered by a coating layer. An extractor generates an electric field that attracts free electrons toward the emission tip for emission as part of the electron beam. The photon-beam source generates a photon beam including photons having an energy greater than the bandgap of silicon, and includes optics that direct the photon beam onto the emission tip, whereby each absorbed photon creates a photo-electron that combines with the free electrons to enhance the electron beam's emission current. A controller modulates the emission current by controlling the intensity of the photon beam applied to the emission tip. A monitor measures the electron beam and provides feedback to the controller.
