In this paper, the authors present a modified knife-edge method for two-dimensional current density mapping in electron-beam writing systems. This method is applicable in rectangular and in variable-shaped e-beam writers with a fixed mutual position of the e-beam and the 1st shutter during exposure. In contrast to other methods, the modified knife-edge method uses only native parts of the e-beam writer, giving it the advantage of easy implementation. The measurement error of our method is analyzed and the trade-off between the result accuracy, the current density resolution and the measurement duration is discussed. The presented method is demonstrated by adjusting an electron emitter in order to select a homogeneous e-beam pattern.
