Abstract
A method for generating a charged particle beam flash. The method includes computing an array of dose correction multipliers, based, at least in part, on a resist sensitivity correction factor, and computing a displacement vector to account for placement effects, such as resist charging. The displacement vector is defined as {right arrow over (δ)}=dP{circle around (×)}{right arrow over (K)} , where {right arrow over (δ)}represents the displacement vector, d represents the array of dose correction multipliers, P represents pattern exposure data, {circle around (×)} represents a mathematical convolution operation, and {right arrow over (K)} represents a Poisson kernel converted to a spatial domain. The method further includes using the displacement vector to modify position of the charged particle beam flash.
