Analytical-based solutions for SCALPEL wafer heating
When operating in high-throughput conditions, SCALPELs 100 keV electron beam causes significant dynamic wafer deformation. To complement extensive finite element analysis, we have undertaken an analytical solution to the,governing heat transfer and elastic strain equations and boundary conditions. This efficient, Green's function-based computational approach is able to support a robust and versatile image-placement correction strategy.
