The present invention relates to a method for performing high speed electron beam lithography (EBL). An electron beam source (EBS), capable of emitting an electron beam towards the energy sensitive resist, forms a first pattern (P) on the substrate, the first pattern defining a first direction (D) on the substrate. The electron beam source then forms a second pattern (P) on the substrate. The energy and/or dose delivered to the energy sensitive resist during the exposure of the first and the second pattern is dimensioned so that the threshold dose/energy of the energy sensitive resist is reached on the overlapping portions of the first and the second patterns (P, P). The invention provides a high speed technique for the production of substrates with high quality developed patterns, e.g. hole or dot arrays, by electron beam lithography. Each hole or dot may be defined by the mutually overlapping portions of the first and second pattern, e.g. exposed lines forming a grid, instead of addressing each dot or hole separately.
