    Abstract: The appts. projects a shadow image of a mask a small distance from the surface. The mask (13) is exposed to a homogeneous collimated beam of electrons (15) emitted by an unstructed photocathode (16) of large area. The electron beam is collimated by an electric field between photocathode (16) and the surface (12) being exposed. The surface of the photocathode essentially corresponds to the surface of the mask being exposed. Alternatively, the surface of the photocathode corresponds chips and exposure occurs in steps. The electrical potential of the mask corresponds to an equipotential surface of the electrical field between the photocathode and the surface being exposed, which acts as anode.

    Abstract: A mask for structuring surface areas and a method for manufacture thereof. The mask includes at least one metal layer with throughgoing apertures which define the mask pattern and a semiconductor substrate for carrying the metal layer. The semiconductor substrate has throughholes that correspond to the mask pattern. The throughholes in the semiconductor substrate extend from the metal layer-covered surface on the front to at least one tubshaped recess which extends from the other back surface into the semiconductor substrate. Holes are provided in a surface layer in the semiconductor substrate. The surface layer differs in its doping from the rest of the substrate and the holes which are provided in the surface layer have lateral dimensions larger than the apertures in the metal layer so that the metal layer protrudes over the surface layer.

    Abstract: A method of exposure of a target object by means of corpuscular beam shadow printing through a mask with several complementary zones wherein the beam, shiftable and tiltable about a point in the mask plane and arranged in parallel at a small distance from the target object, is first impinged upon a first of the complementary zones, then the object is shifted under a second of the complementary zones, and the positioning of the beam is changed so that any deviation of the actual position of the second area of the target object to be exposed from its nominal position is determined and compensated for by tilting the beam about a point substantially in the mask plane.

    Abstract: To test transmission masks (3) for electron or ion beam lithography, the corpuscular beam (2) is inclined to guide the shadow image of a mask portion across a pinhole diaphragm (20, 40) comprising at least one aperture with submicron dimensions. The test for geometrical errors is effected with a single hole diaphragm (20) arranged above a scintillator (21) connected to a photomultiplier (22); the single hole diaphragm is positioned below selected measuring points of the exposure mask to determine the accurate position of the measuring point relative to the diaphragm by beam tilting. The relative spacing of two measuring points is derived from the interferometrically measured table displacement and the beam inclination. To test the entire mask area for errors and impurity particles, a multihole diaphragm (40) is used having submicron apertures arranged in matrix fashion above an integrated circuit of the charge transfer type which provides a MOS capacitor as a particle detector underneath each diaphragm opening. The exposure mask is scanned in steps, effecting several single exposures at each position by inclining the beam.

    Abstract: The mutual alignment of mask and substrate patterns of a specific semiconductor structure are attained by use of a plurality of individual marks in a specific geometric position with respect to each other. By the arrangement of openings in the alignment pattern of the mask, the broad electron beam is split into a multitude of individual beams which interact with alignment marks on the substrate. The interaction is used to generate a coincidence signal. The signal to noise ratio of this arrangement is determined by the overall current and is comparable to that of a thin concentrated electron beam. Registration is effected in a small amount of time and the disadvantageous effects of the high current density used in the raster process are not a factor. In a preferred embodiment, the alignment pattern of the mask is a matrix with center spacings of openings increasing upon advance in two directions perpendicular to each other such that no distance can be represented by the sum of smaller distances. Alignment signals are provided by detecting either absorbed or reflected electrons. A plurality of detectors in the mask are used to detect the reflected electrons.
