Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for forming a patterned layer of material are disclosed. In one arrangement, a selected portion of a surface of a substrate is irradiated with electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of less than 100 nm during a deposition process. Furthermore, an electric field controller is configured to apply an electric field that is oriented so as to force secondary electrons away from the substrate. The irradiation locally drives the deposition process in the selected portion and thereby causes the deposition process to, for example, form a layer of material in a pattern defined by the selected portion.

Abstract: A method including obtaining a measurement and/or simulation result of a pattern after being processed by an etch tool of a patterning system, determining a patterning error due to an etch loading effect based on the measurement and/or simulation result, and creating, by a computer system, modification information for modifying a patterning device and/or for adjusting a modification apparatus upstream in the patterning system from the etch tool based on the patterning error, wherein the patterning error is converted to a correctable error and/or reduced to a certain range, when the patterning device is modified according to the modification information and/or the modification apparatus is adjusted according to the modification information.
