ABSTRACT:
Combined e-beam and optical exposure lithography for semiconductor fabrication is disclosed. E-beam direct writing to is employed to create critical dimension (CD) areas of a semiconductor design on a semiconductor wafer. Optical exposure lithography is employed to create non-CD areas of the semiconductor design on the semiconductor CD's of the semiconductor design can also be separated from non-CD's of the semiconductor design prior to employing e-beam direct writing and optical exposure lithography.
