Abstract: A method is provided for solving a problem that the fine processing property is degraded by an increase of a current applied to complementarily divided masks in an electron beam projection process. In the method, the complementarily divided masks used for electron projection are used whereby one mask is used for patterns requiring high dimensional accuracy and another is used for other patterns. Consequently, it is possible to lower the current applied to the patterns requiring high dimensional accuracy to realize high printing accuracy. In addition, the highly accurate patterns can be formed at a high throughput.

The number of the inner ribs (17B, 17B . . . ) is set smaller than the number of the outer ribs (17C, 17C . . . ). Hence, strength to prevent bending of the fan guard (4) due to load application in the axial direction is ensured and increase in ventilating resistance of forced airflow (W) from a blower fan (3) is suppressed.

Abstract: Laser beam is irradiated to a surface of a processing target after reforming a cross section of the laser beam with a mask having a pierced hole by concentrating the laser beam passing through the pierced hole by a lens to foreman image of the pierced hole of the mask on the surface of the processing target. The laser beam passing through the lens is scanned to move an irradiating position of the laser beam on the surface of the processing target, and the image of the pierced hole of the mask is formed on the surface of the processing target during the scanning for processing the processing target. A high quality laser process can be carried out.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for forming micro patterns in a semiconductor integrated circuit device with high productivity and high accuracy. A photolithography having high throughput and electron beam lithography using a reticle and having relatively high throughput and high resolution are selectively used so as to obtain highest throughput while satisfying accuracy and resolution required for each product/layer. In the case of using the electron beam lithography, a non-complementary reticle and a complementary reticle are selectively used so as to obtain highest throughput while satisfying required accuracy and resolution. Thus, productivity and integration can be improved for the semiconductor integrated circuit device.
