ELECTRON-BEAM IRRADIATED AREA ADJUSTMENT METHOD AND ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM, ELECTRON-BEAM IRRADIATED REGION CORRECTION METHOD, AND ELECTRON BEAM IRRADIATION APPARATUS

摘要

Provided is a method of adjusting an electron-beam irradiated area in an electron beam irradiation apparatus that deflects an electron beam with a deflector to irradiate an object with the electron beam, the method including: emitting an electron beam while changing an irradiation position on an adjustment plate by controlling the deflector in accordance with an electron beam irradiation recipe, the adjustment plate detecting a current corresponding to the emitted electron beam; acquiring a current value detected from the adjustment plate; forming image data corresponding to the acquired current value; determining whether the electron-beam irradiated area is appropriate based on the formed image data; and updating the electron beam irradiation recipe when the electron-beam irradiated area is determined not to be appropriate.
