The discussion focuses on calculating the size of an electron beam (e-beam) based on a specified current and pattern size. The user created a 40 square micron pattern using a 5 picoampere (pA) current in approximately 30 seconds. To estimate the e-beam size, it is essential to consider factors such as the current, pattern dimensions, and the specific electron beam lithography system used. Average e-beam sizes typically range from 10 nanometers to several micrometers, depending on the system and settings.
