SCANNING ELECTRON BEAM EXPOSURE SYSTEM

摘要

A scanning electron beam exposure system includes two apertures (39a, 48a) for forming a rectangular beam (31). The cross section of the rectangular beam is changed by a deflection unit (47X, 47Y) arranged between the two apertures. The rectangular beam is refocused by a refocusing coil (51) to improve the peripheral sharpness of a projected image of the beam. The refocusing coil is controlled in accordance with the cross section (X1, Y1) of the beam.
