Abstract :
Electron-beam (EB) projection methods, such as SCALPEL and PREVAIL are among the candidates for next generation lithography. In these methods, EB masks are used to gain high throughput of the exposure systems. Absorber or scatterer combining with opening or membrane of those masks are structured to produce an image contrast on the wafer.
