Abstract

A process for repair of micron and submicron sized transparent defects on photomasks is described. Opaque films are deposited at the intersection of the flux of organic monomers from a gas jet and a 20 keV Ga ion beam. Focused ion beam-induced deposition differs from other ion-induced, electron beam and laser processes due to the very high ion current density and the sputtering of the material as it is being deposited. We have explored the deposition-sputtering rate competition for several precursor materials as a function of monomer flux and ion beam dose rate. Our results suggest a model for deposition which requires polymerization of the precursor through carbon-carbon double bonds to favor deposition over sputtering by creating high molecular weight material at the target.
