Abstract:
An inspection apparatus capable of facilitating reduction in cost of the apparatus is provided. The inspection apparatus includes: beam generation means for generating any of charged particles and electromagnetic waves as a beam; a primary optical system that guides the beam into an inspection object held on a movable stage in a working chamber and irradiates the inspection object with the beam; a secondary optical system that detects secondary charged particles occurring from the inspection object; and an image processing system that forms an image on the basis of the detected secondary charged particles. The inspection apparatus further includes: a linear motor that drives the movable stage; and a Helmholtz coil that causes a magnetic field for canceling a magnetic field caused by the linear motor when the movable stage is driven.
Abstract:
A top opening-closing mechanism for opening and closing a top of a container including a container body and the top includes a rolling element rotatably provided at the top and positioned on the outside of the container body in a planar view, a rail, a jack for lifting the rail, and a top resting table disposed adjacent to the container and mounting the top thereon. When the top is opened, the jack lifts the rail, the rail lifts the rolling element from below, and thereby the top is lifted up from the container body. Then, the rolling element rolls on the rail and the top resting table to move the top from above the container body to the top resting table.
Abstract:
A nano-patterned system comprises a vacuum chamber, a sample stage and a magnetic-field applying device. The magnetic-field applying device comprises a power supply, magnetic poles, and a magnetic-field generation device having a magnetic conductive soft iron core and a coil connected to the power supply and wound on the soft iron core to generate a magnetic field. The soft iron core is a semi-closed frame structure and the magnetic poles are respectively disposed at the two ends of the semi-closed frame structure. The sample stage is inside the vacuum chamber. The magnetic poles are opposite one another inside the vacuum chamber with respect to the sample stage. The coil and soft iron core are outside the vacuum chamber. The soft iron core leads the magnetic field generated by the coil into the vacuum chamber. The magnetic poles locate a sample on the sample stage and apply a local magnetic field.

The drawing apparatus includes an optical system housing configured to emit a charged particle beam toward the substrate, a stage configured to hold the substrate and be moved at least in a direction perpendicular to an axis of the optical system housing, a detection device including a detector and a support for supporting the detector such that the detector faces a side surface of the stage, and configured for measuring a position of the stage, and a magnetic shield member provided to the stage and configured to shield an opening of the optical system housing that faces a top surface of the stage from a magnetic field. Here, the magnetic shield member is provided to the stage at a region, in a direction of the axis, other than a region where the detection device is provided.

Disclosed is a vacuum deposition apparatus which suppresses mutual interference of magnetic fields generated by multiple magnetic-field applying mechanisms for evaporation sources. The vacuum deposition apparatus includes a deposition chamber; a magnetic-field applying mechanism of sputtering evaporation source disposed in the deposition chamber; a magnetic-field applying mechanism of arc evaporation source disposed in the same deposition chamber; and magnetic-field shielding units arranged so as to cover partially or entirely at least one of these magnetic-field applying mechanisms for evaporation sources (preferably the magnetic-field applying mechanism of sputtering evaporation source). Portions (portions to face a target material upon dosing) of openable units of magnetic-field shielding units are preferably made from a non-magnetic material.

Abstract:
A sample chamber and a column are connected to each other and comprise a magnetic substance. An exhaust section controls a pressure in the sample chamber and the column. A stage controller controls a stage, above which a sample is placed, in the sample chamber. An electron beam source power supply supplies power to an electron beam source, which emits an electron beam to the sample. A power supply supplies voltage to electron optic system, which controls the electron beam. The sample chamber, exhaust section, stage controller, electron beam source power supply and power supply are grounded by a first, second, third, fourth and fifth grounding point, respectively. The electron beam source and the electron optic system are electrically insulated from the sample chamber, column, exhaust section and stage. One of the first, second and third grounding point is different from the fourth or fifth grounding point.
