Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus of fabricating electromagnetic coil vanes. The method involves placing a bonding composition on opposing surfaces of a substrate. First and second complementary coil patterns are formed, and are aligned and bonded to respective clamp plate fixtures. The first complementary coil pattern is bonded to one surface of the opposing surfaces of the substrate via the bonding composition, and the second complementary coil pattern is bonded to the other surface of the opposing surfaces of the substrate via the bonding composition. The bonding composition is cured, and the clamp plates are removed from the first and second complementary coil patterns.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus of fabricating electromagnetic coil vanes. The method involves photolithographically exposing high resolution, dense wire patterns in a flash coat of copper, on both sides of a ceramic vane substrate. The substrate can be pre-drilled with a through hole to connect the two copper coil patterns. Additional copper is then deposited on both high resolution patterns and in the through hole by plating until the desired thickness is obtained. A firing operation is then performed that eutectically bonds the copper to the ceramic.
Abstract:
Electromagnetic deflectors and methods for their manufacture are disclosed. The excitation coils inside such deflectors can be situated relative to each other and to an optical axis with a high degree of accuracy and precision. A pair of loop-shaped channels are formed opposite each other in the sides of a cylindrical insulating cylinder. An electrically conductive material is embedded in the channels to form a set of opposing coils operable to deflect a charged particle beam passing axially through the cylinder in one dimension. Multiple cylinders each comprising a set of opposing coils can be concentrically assembled to provide, e.g., a biaxial deflector operable to deflect the beam in an X-dimension and a Y-dimension. In such a biaxial deflector, the sets of coils are arranged perpendicular to each other. The cylinder(s) is placed concentrically inside a cylindrical outer casing made of a ferromagnetic material such as ferrite to make an electromagnetic deflector.
Abstract:
An image transferring apparatus using a charged particle beam comprising a projection lens for transferring a pattern formed on a mask onto a target by focusing a charged particle beam passing perpendicularly through the mask, and a deflector for deflecting the charged particle beam passing through the mask toward a predetermined direction (x-axis direction) so that a transfer position of the pattern to the target is changed. In this apparatus, the deflector comprises a deflection coil for generating a deflection magnetic field extending in a direction (y-axis direction) perpendicular to the predetermined direction, and correction coils for generating correction magnetic fields extending in the same direction as the deflection magnetic field at areas spaced apart from the center of the deflection magnetic field along the direction (x-axis direction) perpendicular to the direction of the deflection magnetic field.

A high temperature plasma generating system has a magnetron joined to a frustoconical waveguide reflector. An antenna is set on a cavity magnetron tube and extends the length of the antenna. Applying electrical power to the magnetron creates multipactor in the frustoconical waveguide reflector, generating plasma focused at the tip of the extended magnetron antenna.

An ion gun according to one embodiment of the present invention has an anode, a cathode having a first portion and a second portion that face the anode, and a magnet that creates a spatial magnetic field between the first portion and the second portion. An annular gap including a curved portion is provided between the first portion and the second portion of the cathode. The magnet creates lines of magnetic field having the bottom inside with respect to the sectional center line of the gap between the first portion and the second portion of the curved portion.
Abstract:
The present invention enlarges a range of movement of field of view by beam deflection with a simple deflector configuration and suppresses deterioration of a signal electron detection rate caused by the beam deflection. A scanning electron microscope according to the present invention is provided with a first deflection field setting module that sets plural deflectors to move a scanning area on a specimen by a primary electron beam to a position deviated from an axis extended from an electron source toward the center of an objective lens and a second deflection field setting module that sets the plural deflectors so that trajectories of signal electrons are corrected without changing the scanning area set by the first deflection field setting module. The control unit controls the plural deflectors by adding a setting value set by the second deflection field setting module to a setting value set by the first deflection field setting module.
Abstract:
An ion implantation method includes measuring a beam energy of an ion beam that is generated by a high-energy multistage linear acceleration unit operating in accordance with a tentative high-frequency parameter, adjusting a value of the high-frequency parameter based on the measured beam energy, and performing ion implantation by using the ion beam generated by the high-energy multistage linear acceleration unit operating in accordance with the adjusted high-frequency parameter. The tentative high-frequency parameter provides a value different from a value of the high-frequency parameter for achieving a maximum acceleration in design to a high-frequency resonator in a part of stages including at least a most downstream stage. The adjusting includes changing at least one of a voltage amplitude and a phase set for the high-frequency resonator in the part including the at least most downstream stage.
