In FIG. 4, a blanking deflector for turning on / off the electron beam passing through the focusing angle diaphragm 14 and a deflector for deflecting the electron beam to a target position on the semiconductor wafer 11 are not shown. . FIG. 6A shows a part of a vertical cross section along the center line of the conventional configuration of the forming diaphragm 13. The forming diaphragm 13A is formed by forming a quadrangular pyramid trapezoidal hole in a silicon thin plate by a photolithography technique, and the edge of the rectangular aperture 13a can be sharply sharpened at the atomic level. The width becomes almost 0, and when the electron beam energy is low, the projected image on the semiconductor wafer 11 becomes sharp. For example, the length of one side of the forming diaphragm 13A is 200 μm.
And the reduction ratio is 1/100. When the shaped beam cross section 16 of FIG. 5 is 10 μm × 10 μm, the length of one side of the projected image on the semiconductor wafer 11 is 0.1 μm.

The lower the energy of the electron beam is, the more the exposure by the electrons scattered forward in the resist film on the semiconductor wafer 11 and the electrons back-scattered in the silicon substrate and re-incident in the resist film occurs, resulting in collision. Since the cross-sectional area becomes large and the exposure intensity distribution becomes gentle, the width of 0.1
In order to sharply transfer a thin pattern of about μm, it is necessary to use a high energy electron beam of about 50 KV. In this case, since a part of the electron beam passes through the edge of the rectangular aperture 13a, the current density on the semiconductor wafer 11 becomes as shown in FIG. 6B, which causes the sharpness of the transfer pattern to decrease. Further, the edge of the rectangular aperture 13a is melted and cannot be used. If the current value of the electron beam is reduced in order to prevent melting, the exposure time for obtaining the required exposure amount becomes longer and the exposure throughput decreases. As the electron beam energy increases, the collision cross-sectional area on the semiconductor wafer 11 decreases, resulting in a marked decrease in throughput.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6 (C), a molding diaphragm 13B in which a Ta film 131 is deposited on a Si molding diaphragm 13A is used. Ta is a heavy metal having a high melting point, good adherence to Si, and a thermal expansion coefficient close to that of Si. The range of 50 KV electrons in a substance (the average value of the distance at which electrons rest due to collision) is 16.9 μm for Si, while Ta is Ta.

However, when an electron beam of 50 KV is used, the electron beam is impacted on the Ta film 131 and the Ta film 13 is exposed.
1 and the drawing aperture 13A, the Ta film 1
31 is peeled off, and the edge of the rectangular aperture 13a is melted. Mo is a heavy metal having a high melting point and relatively good workability. When a rectangular aperture is formed in Mo, a radius with a radius of curvature of about 10 to 20 μm occurs at the corner, and the allowable value is 0.5 μm.
Much larger. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, slits 132 and 133 are formed in the shaping apertures 13C1 and 13C2, respectively, and the shaping apertures 13C1 and 13C2 are overlapped so that they are orthogonal to each other, and the rectangular aperture is formed. A molding diaphragm 13C having 13a has been proposed (JP-A-59-111326).

However, since the slits 132 and 133 having a width of about 200 to 500 μm cannot be formed by machining and must be dry-etched, the thickness must be several tens of μm. For this reason, the strength of the forming stop 13C is too weak, and it is difficult to fix the forming stop 13C to the holder without bending. Further, there has been proposed one in which four Mo disks are stacked to form a rectangular aperture (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-113326), but the edge of the rectangular aperture 13a becomes too thick and the transferred image Sharpness is poor.

Circular holes 354 to 357 are formed in the holder 35 between the groove 351 and the groove 352, and bolts are inserted into these holes and fixed in the charged particle beam exposure apparatus. In FIG. 1 (B), the thickness t of the diaphragm piece 31 may be a thickness sufficient for processing and mounting the diaphragm piece 31, and in the case of Mo, about 500 μm or more.
The slope angle of the slope 311 is such that the slope 311 has a rectangular aperture 3.
The angle may be such that it does not form a part of 0a, and 45 ° is preferable because it is easy to process. The width e of the edge 312 in the optical axis direction is a value within 10 to 100 μm described below,
For example, it is 15 μm. If the edge width e is smaller than the range, the electron beam passes through the edge of the rectangular aperture 13a and the sharpness of the transferred image is reduced, which is not preferable. The lower limit value of the edge width e differs depending on the material of the diaphragm pieces 31 to 34, and the lower limit value (about 10 μm in the case of Mo) and the range of the electron beam (in the case of Mo, the electron beam of 50 KV is 3. 9 μm), which is larger, and usually the former.

The upper limits of the surface roughness Δd and the edge width e of the edge 312 are determined as follows. In FIG. 4, the focusing half angle θ of the electron beam incident on the semiconductor wafer 11 is set to 5 mrad, and the rectangular aperture 13a (see FIG.

In this case, the surface roughness Δd of the edge 312 is
Corresponds to Δd / M on the semiconductor wafer 11. Therefore, Δd / M ≦ ε holds, and Δd ≦ ε · M = 0.01 × 100 = 1 μm. In the case of Mo, this is possible by lapping. Further, the edge width 2e of the rectangular aperture 30a in the optical axis direction corresponds to the length 2e / M in the optical axis AX direction on the semiconductor wafer 11, and the electron beam is (2e / M). It means that it expands by tan θ. Therefore, (2e / M) · tan θ ≦ ε holds, and e ≦ εM / (2tan θ) = 0.01 × 100 / (2 × 0.005) = 100 μm. This is no problem because it is larger than the upper limit value of 10 μm for the above-mentioned machining.
