How to choose the correct parameters yourself
A good place to start is the Unofficial dose calculator
- Choose the EBL tool (100 or 125 keV)
- Write field size (µm) and Dots: The combination of these two will give you the pixel size for a default pitch of 1.
- It is recommended to use high number of dots with a pitch multiplier for fine exposures
- Aperture and Beam current: The combination of these two will give you the beam spot size
The pixel size should be equal to the beam spot size
- Area dose: The recommended dose for the combination of substrate and resist stack that you have. If you don't know this value you can do a dose test for your substrate/resist combination or consult the Doses page
