Abstract

A charged particle lithography system for exposing a wafer according to pattern data. The system comprises an electron optical column for generating a plurality of electron beamlets for exposing the wafer, the electron optical column including a beamlet blanker array for switching the beamlets on or off, a data path for transmitting beamlet control data for control of the switching of the beamlets, and a wafer positioning system for moving the wafer under the electron optical column in a scan direction. The wafer positioning system is provided with synchronization signals from the data path to align the wafer with the electron beams from the electron-optical column. The data path further comprises one or more processing units for generating the beamlet control data and one or more transmission channels for transmitting the beamlet control data to the beamlet blanker array.
