The GHOST proximity effect correction scheme has been applied to a round beam lithography system and also to a shaped beam system. It is shown that the image contrast of the GHOST scheme is constant at all spatial frequencies at which forward scattering is insignificant: the flatness of the modulation transfer function corresponds to the removal of the proximity effect. The effects of errors in the correction dose, the correction beam diameter, and the registration between the pattern and correction exposures have been calculated analytically, and it is shown that the allowable tolerances for these parameters are wide.
