    摘要: The invention relates to a method of exposing a target by means of a plurality of beamlets. First, a plurality of beamlets is provided. The beamlets are arranged in an array. Furthermore, a target to be exposed is provided. Subsequently, relative movement in a first direction between the plurality of beamlets and the target is created. Finally, the plurality of beamlets is moved in a second direction, such that each beamlet exposes a plurality of scan lines on the target. The relative movement in the first direction and the movement of the plurality of beamlets in the second direction are such that the distance between adjacent scan lines exposed by the plurality of beamlets is smaller than a projection pitch Pproj,X in the first direction between beamlets of the plurality of beamlets in the array.

    摘要: The invention relates to a charged particle lithography system for patterning a target. The lithography system has a beam generator for generating a plurality of charged particle beamlets, a beam stop array with a beam-blocking surface provided with an array of apertures; and a modulation device for modulating the beamlets by deflection. The modulation device has a substrate provided with a plurality of modulators arranged in arrays, each modulator being provided with electrodes extending on opposing sides of a corresponding aperture. The modulators are arranged in groups for directing a group of beamlets towards a single aperture in the beam stop array. Individual modulators within each group have an orientation such that a passing beamlet, if blocking is desired, is directed to a blocking position onto the beam stop array. Beamlet blocking positions for different beamlets are substantially homogeneously spread around the corresponding single aperture in the beam stop array.
