Abstract

A procedure for producing an article such as an integrated circuit or a lithographic mask including the step of exposing and developing a resist material during a lithographic process is substantially improved by utilizing a specific technique. In particular, a prototypical plot is made based on typical conditions. Thereafter, this calibration is employable for developing the resist material even at substantially different environmental and processing conditions.
