Abstract :
The drawing time of the vector-scan electron-beam exposure systems employing variably shaped rectangular (VSR) beams is calculated and the optimum value of the maximum dimension of the rectangle is found which makes the drawing time minimum under the condition that the edge slope is within a certain fraction of the linewidth.
