Line edge roughness reduction via step size alteration
Abstract:
An image correction application relating to the ability to apply maskless lithography patterns to a substrate in a manufacturing process is disclosed. The embodiments described herein relate to a software application platform, which corrects non-uniform image patterns on a substrate. The application platform method includes in a digital micromirror device (DMD) installed in an image projection system, the DMD having a plurality of columns, each column having a plurality of mirrors, disabling at least one entire column of the plurality of columns, exposing a first portion of the substrate to a first shot of electromagnetic radiation, exposing a second portion of the substrate to a second shot of electromagnetic radiation, and iteratively translating the substrate a step size and exposing another portion of the substrate to another shot of electromagnetic radiation until the substrate has been completely exposed to shots of electromagnetic radiation.
