    Abstract: A scanning electron microscope has an electron gun producing the electron beam, an objective lens for sharply focusing the beam onto the specimen, a tilting mechanism for tilting the specimen relative to the beam, and a power supply for applying the negative voltage to the specimen. This microscope further includes a cylindrical shield electrode mounted to surround the electron beam path between the objective lens and specimen. A front-end electrode is insulatively mounted to the front-end portion of the shield electrode that is on the specimen side. An electric potential substantially identical to the electric potential at the polepieces of the objective lens is applied to the shield electrode. An electric potential substantially identical to the potential at the specimen is applied to the front-end electrode.

    Abstract: A charged particle beam apparatus includes: a charged particle beam generator which generates a charged particle beam; a projection optical system which generates a lens field to focus the charged particle beam on an external substrate; and deflectors arranged so as to surround an optical axis of the charged particle beam; the deflectors generating a deflection field which is superposed on the lens field to deflect the charged particle beam and to control a position to irradiate the substrate, and being configured so that intensity of the deflection field in a direction of the optical axis is changed in accordance with an angle with which the charged particle beam should fall onto the substrate.

    Abstract: A charged beam apparatus of this invention comprises a sample table on which a sample is placed, a column for irradiating a charged beam on a surface of the sample, a gas supply mechanism having a gas supply opening for injecting a gas to an irradiated position of the charged beam, and a driving mechanism for moving the gas supply opening parallel to the surface of the sample in order to position the gas supply opening, and moving the gas supply opening perpendicularly to the surface of the sample in order to set a distance from the gas supply opening to a processing position. This allows the gas pressure to be stably held with a high accuracy at the processing position. Accordingly, desired deposition or etching can be performed with a high accuracy, and this further improves the quality of the mask.

    Abstract: An electron image projector for projecting mask patterns with unity magnification onto a semiconductor slice comprises a cathode from which emitted electrons are accelerated by a uniform electric field and focussed by a uniform magnetic field onto a target. To reduce the dependency of electron trajectories on the local shape and disposition of the target, the uniform electric field is applied by an accelerating voltage between the cathode and a grid electrode acting as the anode between the cathode and target. The grid is positioned at a first magnetic focus, and the target is positioned at a second magnetic focus of the uniform magnetic field. A small voltage much less than the accelerating voltage may be applied between the grid and the target to obtain correct focussing. Structure is also provided to move the grid parallel to the target during exposure in order to prevent the grid pattern from being reproduced on the target. A backscattered electron detector positioned adjacent the field-free region between the grid and the target may be used to control alignment of the projected image with the target.
