I came across a paper (which is currently available online) which discussed how 248 nm radiation at doses exceeding 10 mJ/cm^2 could cause ionization by means of two 5 eV photons being added up to give a single 10 eV effect. Of course higher doses increases the effect (proportional to intensity squared). So ~ 100 mJ/cm^2, the effect is about 1% for benzene, even higher for diethylaniline.
Of course this was never a concern when 248 nm was used for lithography, because the optical resolution never had a chance to approach the range of electrons produced by the ionization. But for EUV and electron-beam, since the optical spot resolution can be less than the ionized electron range, the traditional resolution definition is no longer meaningful.
