ABSTRACT:
To achieve high-resolution lithography, the temperature of a sample is controlled with heater wires during electron-beam lithography, the adverse effect of a magnetic field induced by the heater current is suppressed. Namely, heater wires are used to control the temperature of a sample so that the temperature will be maintained constant. In order to minimize the adverse effect of a magnetic field during the passage of currents through the heater wires, two heater wires are layered with the arrangement of the upper and lower sides, currents are fed to flow through the heater wires in mutually opposite directions, and the ratio of the current flowing through the upper heater wire to the one flowing through the lower heater wire is slightly changed from zero.
