    摘要: An exposure pattern is computed which is used for exposing a desired pattern on a target in a charged-particle multi-beam processing apparatus so as to match a reference writing tool, possible of different type and/or for compensating a deviation of the imaging from a pattern definition device onto the target from a desired value of critical dimension along at least one direction in the image area on the target: The desired pattern (160) is provided as a graphical representation suitable for the reference tool, such as a raster graphics (161), on the image area on the target. A convolution kernel (162) is used which describes a mapping from an element of the graphical representation to a group of pixels which is centered around a nominal position of said element. A nominal exposure pattern is calculated by convolution of the graphical representation with the convolution kernel, said nominal exposure pattern being suitable to create a nominal dose distribution on the target when exposed with the processing apparatus.

    摘要: A lithography system (10) comprising a radiation projection system (20) for projecting radiation onto a substrate, a substrate transport system (30) for loading and positioning the substrate to be processed in the path of the projected radiation, a control system (40) for controlling the substrate transport system to move the substrate, and a resist characterization system (50) arranged for determining whether a specific type of resist is suitable to be exposed by radiation within the lithography system. The resist characterization system (50) may be arranged for exposing the resist on a surface of the substrate with one or more radiation beams, measuring a mass distribution of molecular fragments emitted from the resist, predicting a growth rate of deposited molecular fragments on the basis of a growth rate model and the measured mass distribution, and comparing the expected growth rate with a predetermined threshold growth rate.

    摘要: A high-voltage insulation device (300) for use in a charged-particle optical apparatus comprises a plurality of rigid pillars (320) made of electrically insulating material. These pillars (320) are arranged around a central passage (310) which traverses the insulating device along its longitudinal axis (L), and the two ends of each pillar are configured to be respectively fixed to two separate electrostatic housings (221, 231) of the charged-particle optical apparatus by means of two respective end plates (311, 312), with the pillars (320) being oriented at an angle so as to be inclined with regard to said longitudinal axis (L). Advantageously, the pillars are mechanically adjustable with regard to their effective length, and each pillar (320) is arranged outside the central passage with its two ends at either of the first and second end plates (311,312), preferably in a zig-zag arrangement.
