N2 - This paper presents a prototype implementation of a circuit that can control charge emission from the Vertically Aligned Carbon NanoFibers (VACNF), for use in the implementation of Digital Electrostatic e-beam Array Lithography (DEAL). This lithography technique can be used to fabricate ultra-small feature size devices, while cutting down the manufacturing costs of photo-masks[1]. These VACNF's are found to be quite robust for use as micro-fabricated field emission devices [2]. The all inverter based dose control circuit (DCC) presented in this paper was fabricated using a standard 0.5μm CMOS process to improve the dose-rate accuracy, when using these VACNF's for etching in maskless lithography. Simulation and measurement results are compared and analyzed, and future work for improving the design is discussed.
