    Abstract: An electron beam lithography system and an electron beam lithography process are disclosed herein for improving throughput. An exemplary method for increasing throughput achieved by an electron beam lithography system includes receiving an integrated circuit (IC) design layout that includes a target pattern, wherein the electron beam lithography system implements a first exposure dose to form the target pattern on a workpiece based on the IC design layout. The method further includes inserting a dummy pattern into the IC design layout to increase a pattern density of the IC design layout to greater than or equal to a threshold pattern density, thereby generating a modified IC design layout. The electron beam lithography system implements a second exposure dose that is less than the first exposure dose to form the target pattern on the workpiece based on the modified IC design layout.

    Abstract: A method for establishing a parametric model of a semiconductor process is provided. A first intermediate result is generated according to layout data and a non-parametric model of the semiconductor process. A first response is obtained according to the first intermediate result. A specific mathematical function is selected from a plurality of mathematical functions, and the parametric model is obtained according to the specific mathematical function. A second intermediate result is generated according to the layout data and the parametric model. A second response is obtained according to the second intermediate result. It is determined whether the parametric model is an optimal model according to the first and second responses.
