Pattern placement is controlled with the ARRAY command in the JDF. The goal of this example exposure is to create a dose test and thus we will use the ARRAY command to create an array of the pattern (the DTU logo) and we will use the MODULAT command to modulate the dose for each instance in the array. The ARRAY command takes six parameters as ARRAY(x,nx,dx)/(y,ny,dy), where x and y defines the center of the first element, nx and ny defines element numbers and dx and dy defines the array element pitch. The array defined in the example below will create a 10 x 1 array with an x-axis pitch of 50 µm. | Pattern placement is controlled with the ARRAY command in the JDF.

Each array element is assigned a dose modulation using the MODULAT command. The MODULAT command takes two parameters as MODULAT(r,v), where r is the shot rank and v is the shot time modulation in %. The shot rank is defined during export from Beamer. For a simple design as used in this example that is not proximity corrected all elements of the pattern will be in shot rank 0. If a design is proximity corrected pattern elements will be assigned to different shot ranks. The shot time modulation is a simple percentage increase to the base dose defined by the RESIST command in the SDF. The modulation table in this example will thus expose with a base dose of 200 µC/cm<sup>2</sup> in element (1,1) and a dose of 200 µC/cm<sup>2</sup> + 45% = 290 µC/cm<sup>2</sup> in element (10,1). | Each array element is assigned a dose modulation using the MODULAT command.
