Abstract

A novel addressable field emission array (AFEA) for use in new deep sub-micron electron-beam lithography system is developed. The device consists of a low electron affinity coating deposited on aluminum biasing pads controlled by CMOS circuitry. Each cathode is individually addressable, providing a matrix of massively parallel but independent electron beams. The CMOS circuitry will address and control cathodes, providing dynamic control of the e-beam matrix.
