Considering the thermoelectret effect, the process of depolarization of a thin dielectric film exposed to electron beam has been studied. It is established that this effect increases the rate of decay of the potential on the target surface and the time of charge relaxation in the sample's bulk. It is shown that the thermoelectret effect can be used in indirect measurements of the electron-beam resist temperature in electron-beam lithography.
