Schematic of VP-EBL. When performing EBL on insulating substrates, the bulk of the sample charges negatively by trapping primary electrons. Introducing a gas in the chamber can mitigate this charging process because the gas molecules may be ionized by electron impact. Typically, multiple ions are generated through a cascade as secondary electrons are accelerated toward the biased detector.

Enhancing Contrast and Resolution for Electron-Beam Lithography on Insulating Substrates Enhancing Contrast and Resolution for Electron-Beam Lithography on Insulating Substrates The effect of ambient gas on the contrast and the resolution of electron beam lithography (EBL) in gaseous environments on insulating substrates.
