Abstract

An apparatus is described for writing patterns in a layer on a substrate by using a beam of electrically-charged particles. The apparatus is provided with an optical height-measuring system for determining a deviation between the desired and the actual position of the surface to be inscribed relative to the charged particle lens system. The deviation can be measured accurately and continuously without the use of additional markers on the substrate.
