Abstract
The micro-patterning by a Bow energy FIB whish has been conventionally utilized far mask-repairing was investigated. Amorphous Se$\_$75/Gee$\_$25/ resist irradiated by 9[keV]-defocused Ga$\^$+/ ion beam(∼10$\^$15/[ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$]) resulted in increasing the optical absorption, which was also observed also in the film exposed by an optical dose of 4.5${\times}$10$\^$20/[photons/$\textrm{cm}^2$]. The ∼0.3[eV] edge shift for ion-irradiated film was about twice to that obtained for photo-exposed. These large shift could be estimated as due to an increase in disorder from the decrease in the sloop of the Urbach tail. For Ga$\^$+/ FIB irradiation with a relatively low energy, 30[keV] and above the amount of dose of 1.4${\times}$10$\^$16/[ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$], the irradiated region in a-Se$\_$75/Ge$\_$25/ resist was perfectly etched in acid solution for 10[sec], which is relatively a short development time. A contrast was about 2.5. In spite of the relatively low incident energy,∼0.225[$\mu\textrm{m}$] pattern was clearly obtained by the irradiation of a dose 6.5${\times}$10$\^$16/[ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$] and a scan diameter 0.2[$\mu\textrm{m}$], from which excellent results were expected fur incident energies above 50[keV] which was conventionally used in FIBL.
