SUMMARY
Proximity Effect Control (PEC) is a critical technique in ebeam lithography used to mitigate the proximity effect, which can lead to unintended exposure of adjacent areas during the nanofabrication process. PEC involves adjusting the electron beam's parameters to ensure precise patterning at the nanoscale. This technique is essential for achieving high-resolution features and maintaining the integrity of designs in semiconductor manufacturing.
