An experimental test stand was constructed and operated at Stanford University. It utilizes the uniform magnetic field of a solenoid to effect the imaging of an electron source onto a high resolution test target. Colloidal gold spheres of 30 nm diameter were just resolved. This result is of sufficient interest to warrant further research on this concept, including demonstration of high resolution and fine line lithography using multiple beams. The concept has the possibilty for a maskless e-beam lithography system with throughput significantly higher than any direct write e-beam system to date.
