Abstract

It has been found that for a SCALPEL lithographic system thermal effects dictate that the acceleration voltage for the exposing electrons be maintained within a specific range. This range depends on a variety of factors but is generally in the 50 to 150 KeV region. Additionally, thermal considerations also dictate the method of scanning the mask to print an entire wafer.
