Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make magnetic shield of an electrostatic lens system easy by reducing a space especially occupied by a lens. SOLUTION: In a charged particle beam exposure device, an electrostatic lens (ML) has some (at least three) electrodes surrounding a particle beam optical path with rotational symmetry (EFR, EM, EFN), and the electrodes are coaxially arranged on a common optical axis indicating a center of the optical path and has different electrostatic potentials applied through a power supply system. At least one sub set (a partial aggregate) of the electrode (EM) forms an electrode array realized as a series of electrodes continuously arranged along the optical axis and in a substantially equivalent shape. An outside part of the electrode (EM) of the electrode array has outside parts (OR) of corresponding opposite faces (f1, f2) respectively facing toward the next and the preceding electrodes. A length of the electrode (EM) is preferably at least 4.1 times (3 times) of an inner radius (ril) of the faces (fi, f2). COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To compensate magnetic fields using magnetic field sensors set in an operating area (particle beam) where the magnetic fields must be compensated.
SOLUTION: Magnetic fields sensors S1, S2 in the operating area and a compensation coil Hh mechanism enclosing the operating area are used for the magnetic field compensation. The magnetic fields are in different positions, preferably in the positions opposite to each other with respect to the axis of symmetry of the operating area, and measured by at least two sensors S1, S2 generating respective sensor signals s1, s2. The sensor signals s1, s2 of the sensors S1, S2 are superposed to create feedback signals ms, fs, which are converted into a drive signal d1 by a control means. The drive signal is then used to control the direction of the magnetic field of at least one compensation coil (Hh).

Abstract: A method for forming a pattern on a surface of a substrate (41) by means of a beam (lb, pb) of energetic electrically charged particles, comprising the following steps: ```producing said particle beam, ```directing said particle beam (lb, pb) through a pattern definition means (102) producing a number of beamlets (bm) using an aperture array means (203) having a plurality of regularly arranged apertures (230) of substantially identical shape defining the shape of said beamlets (bin), and using a blanking means (202) to switch off the passage of selected beamlets (bin), the others forming, as a whole, a patterned particle beam, and ```projecting said patterned particle beam onto said substrate (41) surface to form an image of those apertures (230) which are switched on, each aperture (230) corresponding to an image element on the substrate (41) surface during a uniform exposure time, ```wherein a subset of the apertures (230) is switched on during a fraction of the exposure time and switched off for the remaining fraction of the exposure time, thus causing a fractional exposure at a value lower than a threshold of exposure of image elements on the substrate (41) surface, which threshold is lower than or equal to the value corresponding to a full exposure as caused by an aperture (230) switched on during the full exposure time.
