<p>In electron beam lithography, a lithography system uses multiple microcolumns in an array to increase throughput for direct writing of semiconductor wafers. The mismatch between the microcolumn array and the semiconductor die periodicity is resolved by using only one microcolumn to scan each individual die. This is accomplished by assuring that the stage carrying the semiconductor wafer moves a total distance in each of the X and Y directions which is greater than the pitch between adjacent die. Hence each die is scanned by only a single microcolumn although at possibly different times during the total stage motion.</p> |
