Abstract
Electron beam based Projection Mask-Less Lithography (PML2) is one of the promising candidates for fast chip devel-opment and prototyping as well as for small and medium volume device production for the 45nm technology node and beyond. The concept of the PML2 proof-of-concept tool comprises a single electron optical column, a multi beam blank-ing device (programmable "Aperture Plate System") including high speed optical data path and a scanning 300mm wa-fer stage. More than 290.000 beams will be projected onto the wafer used for a highly redundant scanning stripe expo-sure process. The PML2 proof-of-concept tool will be built as part of the European MEDEA+ project T409 and the joint project "Ab-bildungsmethodiken fur nanoelektronische Bauelemente-ABBILD" in Germany. To show the feasibility of PML2 key modules in an early stage several demonstrators and test stands have been developed. In this paper demonstration setups and first results of the electron optics modeling, gun prototype, Aperture Plate System and the Optical Data Path are pre-sented.
