The energy distribution in an electron; beam from an electron gun provided with a biased Wehnelt cylinder was measured by a retarding potential analyser. All the measurements were carried out with a beam of small angular divergence (<3xl0-4 rad) to eliminate the apparent increase of energy width as pointed out by Ichinokawa.The cross section of the beam from a gun with a tungsten hairpin cathode varies as shown in Fig.1a with the bias voltage Vg. The central part of the beam was analysed. An example of the integral curve as well as the energy spectrum is shown in Fig.2. The integral width of the spectrum ΔEi varies with Vg as shown in Fig.1b The width ΔEi is smaller than the Maxwellian width near the cut-off. As |Vg| is decreased, ΔEi increases beyond the Maxwellian width, reaches a maximum and then decreases. Note that the cross section of the beam enlarges with decreasing |Vg|.

We have studied on theoretical electron energy deposition in thin resist layer on Si substrate for electron beam lithography. We made Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the energy distribution and to consider formation of nanometer sized pattern regarding electron energy, resist thickness and resist type. The energy distribution in 100 nm-thick resist on Si substrate were calculated for small pattern. The calculations show that 4 nm-wide pattern will be formed when resist thickness is less than 30 nm. Furthermore, a negative resist is more suitable than positive resist by the estimation of a shape of the energy distribution.
