摘要
We studied the electron beam drift caused by charging up of deflector electrode surfaces oxidized by a dry cleaning process used to remove the contamination layer. The process adopted was a downflow ashing process with a mixture of CF4 and oxygen as a source gas. It was found that even a gold surface is oxidized and suffers from charging up after the cleaning process. It was also found that such a gold oxide layer can be removed by a postprocessing with nitrogen radicals, and that the charging up is reduced. However, when the surface is nickel, the nitrogen postprocess does not remove the oxide layer, leaving large beam drift.
