Abstract :
Summary form only given. In this paper, the advantageous exposure of X architecture pattern when using a variable shaped beam tool is discussed. A X architecture pattern contains lines which represents a Manhatten pattern itself, but 45 degrees rotated additionally. To expose this kind of pattern with high throughout and high pattern fidelity is a challenging task.
