ABSTRACT:
An ion beam processing system emitting an ion beam at a workpiece to process the workpiece, provided with an electrode for applying an electric field to the workpiece, the potential of the electrode being made 0V or a negative potential, and a cover insulated from the electrode arranged at an ion beam incidence side of the electrode, thereby preventing or suppressing sputtered particles from redepositing on a master pattern and the processed surface to form burrs, and an ion beam processing method used with the same.
