Abstract

A lithography system includes an electron source, a lens, and a stencil mask. The electron source emits a beam of electrons. The lens converts the emitted beam of electrons into a diffuse beam of parallel electrons. The stencil mask is positioned between the lens and a semiconductor wafer with an electron-sensitive resists. The stencil mask has a pattern to selectively pass portions of the diffuse beam of parallel electrons onto the electron-sensitive resist of the wafer.
