Abstract
An electron-beam cell projection process uses a trial exposure of a test wafer by using cell apertures for use in the cell projection of the target wafer. A design difference and an actual difference between both the areas for exposure are compared against each other to obtain an offset value, which is used for the actual cell projection for correction of a stitching error caused by the projection system.
