โฆ Synopsis
Applicability of ion beam projection optics for sputtering fabrication is investigated by using third-order aberration theory. Under the Kthler illumination condition that minimizes off-axial aberration, the total beam current of the shaped beam formed in large-reduction-ratio projection column is larger than that of a conventional focused ion beam. In a preliminary experiment with 50:1-reduction projection optics, the edge blur of the shaped beam is estimated to be less than 0.1 ~tm for a total beam current larger than 30 nA. Ion beam projection optics is thought to be suitable for applications that require high-throughput processing.
