The method includes measuring a beam profile of an ion beam in a direction orthogonal to a scanning direction of a substrate and a traveling direction of the ion beam; computing, based on the measured beam profile, a uniformity of a dose distribution of a part of the ion beam with which a surface of the substrate is irradiated when the substrate is scanned; and comparing the computed uniformity of the dose distribution with a first reference value to determine an adequacy of the beam profile of the ion beam. | 2021-02-04 |
| 20210035775 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BEAM POSITION VISUALIZATION - A charged-particle beam (CPB) is aligned to a primary axis of a CPB microscope by determining a first beam deflection drive to a beam deflector for directing the CPB passing a reference location displaced from the primary axis. The beam deflector is provided with a second beam deflection drive during the working mode of the CPB microscope to propagate the beam along the primary axis. The second beam deflection drive is determined based on the first beam deflection drive. | 2021-02-04 |
| 20210035776 | PLASMA PROCESSING DEVICE MEMBER AND PLASMA PROCESSING DEVICE - A plasma processing device member of the present disclosure is made of an yttrium oxide sintered body containing 98% by mass or more of yttrium oxide and having a plurality of open pores, in which when an average of the distances between centers of gravity of the open pores adjacent to each other is set to L1, L1 is 50 μm or more. Additionally, a plasma processing device of the present disclosure includes the plasma processing device member and a plasma generator. | 2021-02-04 |
