==Exposure time== | |||
E-beam exposure is a serial writing process and the writing time (t) will scale with dose (D), area (A) and beam current (I) as: | |||
t = D*A/I | |||
It is thus essential to find the right balance between the area that needs to be defined and a beam current that will provide sufficient pattern fidelity and quality. During pattern writing the tool will also use time on cyclic calibration and stage movement as defined by the job path and pattern layout. [https://labmanager.dtu.dk/function.php?module=Machine&view=jeol_writing_time The exposure time can be estimated based here.] | |||

Since substrate preparation and development processes are (nearly) identical for the JEOL and Raith eLine systems they are described in common below. Pattern preparation, job preparation and job execution are fairly different between the two tools and hence these steps are described on the specific tool pages. | Since substrate preparation and development processes are (nearly) identical for the JEOL and Raith eLine systems they are described in common below.
