Abstract: Method of manufacturing electronic devices using a maskless lithographic exposure system using a maskless pattern writer. The method comprises generating beamlet control data for controlling the maskless pattern writer to expose a wafer for creation of the electronic devices, wherein the beamlet control data is generated based on a feature data set defining features selectable for individualizing the electronic devices, wherein exposure of the wafer according to the beamlet control data results in exposing a pattern having a different selection of the features from the feature data set for different subsets of the electronic devices.

Abstract: A method for exposing a wafer in a charged particle lithography system. The method comprises generating a plurality of charged particle beamlets, the beamlets arranged in groups, each group comprising an array of beamlets; moving the wafer under the beamlets in a first direction at a wafer scan speed; deflecting the beamlets in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction at a deflection scan speed, and adjusting the deflection scan speed to adjust a dose imparted by the beamlets on the wafer.

Abstract: A multi-source illumination apparatus for illuminating a sample with charged particles, wherein beams, from a plurality of sources, are arranged such that a beam from at least one source intersects, at a plane of a condenser lens, with at least part of one other beam from a different one of the plurality of sources. The condenser lens is configured to separately collimate the received beams from each source. A manipulator array arrangement is configured to manipulate the collimated beams to generate one or more beams, in a single column, that include charged particles from the plurality of sources. The manipulator array arrangement includes a multi-beam generator configured to receive the plurality of substantially parallel substantially collimated beams generated by the deflector array, and generate a multibeam in dependence on the received plurality of substantially parallel substantially collimated beams, wherein the multi-beam includes a plurality of substantially collimated sub-beams.
