摘要： Contamination may be removed from a field emitter unit during operation of the emitter unit in an environment at a pressure that lies within a range between 10−6 torr and 10−8 torr. At regular predetermined intervals an electron beam from an emitter tip may be deflected away from a path through a beam defining aperture and onto an electron collector. An electron beam current to the electron collector may be determined and the emitter unit may be flash heated if the current to the electron collector is below a threshold. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

摘要： Calibration of measurements of features made with a system having a micromachining tool and an analytical tool is disclosed. The measurements can be calibrated with a standard having a calibrated feature with one or more known dimensions. The standard may have one or more layers including a single crystal layer. The calibrated feature may include one or more vertical features characterized by one or more known dimensions and formed through the single crystal layer. A trench is formed in a sample with the micromachining tool to reveal a sample feature. The analytical tool measures one or more dimensions of the sample feature corresponding to one or more known dimensions of the calibrated feature. The known dimensions of the calibrated feature are measured with the same analytical tool. The measured dimensions of the sample feature and the calibrated feature can then be compared to the known dimensions of the calibrated feature.

摘要： A first embodiment of the invention relates to a method for evaluating the quality of structures on an integrated circuit wafer. Test structures formed on either on the integrated or on a test wafer are exposed to an electron beam and an electron-beam activated chemical etch. The electron-beam activated etching gas or vapor etches the test structures, which are analyzed after etching to determine a measure of quality of the test structures. The measure of quality may be used in a statistical process control to adjust the parameters used to form device structures on the integrated circuit wafer. The test structures are formed on an integrated circuit wafer having two or more die. Each die has one or more integrated circuit structures. The test structures are formed on scribe lines between two or more adjacent die. Each test structure may correspond in dimensions and/or composition to one or more of the integrated circuit structures.

摘要： A method for controlling chemical dry etching to improve smoothness of an etched surface is disclosed. Ions are implanted into a surface to form a volatilizable compound at a temperature low enough to avoid, reduce, or eliminate formation of three-dimensional structures of the volatilizable compound that might create the roughness at an etched surface of the volatilizable compound. The ions are applied in a sufficient energy to penetrate to a predetermined depth of material that is to be removed from the surface in an etching cycle, and in a sufficient dosage to achieve full formation of the volatilizable compound. The surface of the volatilizable compound is exposed to a gas composition for a time duration sufficient to completely etch the volatilizable compound.

摘要： One embodiment disclosed relates to an apparatus forming an electrical conduction path through an insulating layer on a surface of a substrate. A first radiation source is configured to emit radiation to a first region of the insulating layer, and a first electrical contact is configured to apply a first bias voltage to the first region. A second radiation source is configured to emit radiation to a second region of the insulating layer, and a second electrical contact is configured to apply a second bias voltage to the second region. The conductivities of the regions are increased by the radiation such that conductive paths are formed through the insulating layer at those regions. In one implementation, the apparatus may be used in an electron beam instrument. Another embodiment relates to a method of forming an electrical conduction path through an insulating layer. Other embodiments, aspects and features are also disclosed.
