SubTitle
JEOL JBX9500FS Electron Beam Lithography System
Training

Training covers operation of the JEOL 9500, after a user has done the general electron beam lithography training. JEOL 6300 training is separate. Please request training by sending an email to ebeam@cnf.cornell.edu

IF YOUR E BEAM EXPOSURE WILL BE ALIGNED WITH A PATTERN ALREADY ON THE WAFER, PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS AT https://www.cnfusers.cornell.edu/ebeam_alignment BEFORE DESIGNING ANY DEVICE PATTERNS IN CAD. NOT FOLLOWING THESE DIRECTIONS MAY MAKE ALIGNMENT IMPOSSIBLE.

Additional Restrictions
  • Fully baked resists only; do not load samples with unbaked resist or glue or anything that may degas.
  • Please review electron beam lithography training materials, in AFS, at shares - public - processes_from_cnf_staff - ElectronBeamLithography - TrainingMaterials (accessible on any general use PC or CNF Thin client at CNF)

Body

The JEOL 9500 is a modern direct write ebeam lithography system from JEOL. The CNF tool was the first 9500 with improved column optics for a reduced spot size.

The tool is capable of loading samples from 10 mm up to 300 mm and writing features as small as 6 nm or less. The clock speed has been increased to 100 MHz, reducing write times. Stitching and overlay specifications have also been in improved dramatically over the previous generation.

Capabilities
  • Accelerating Voltage: 100 kV
  • Field Size: 1 mm
  • Writing Speed: 100 MHz
  • Sample Size: Small pieces to 300 mm wafers
  • Minumum beam diameter: 3.2 nm
  • Minimum Feature Size: 6 nm
  • Maximum beam current: 100 nA
