摘要:
A method for providing self-aligned contact pads along an edge face of stacked electronics utilizes reflected light from the metal contact leads to define their location. A thin layer of light sensitive polymer is applied over the edge face, at which incident light is directed. A solvent developer is applied which dissolves the polymer where the reflected light passed. In a two-pass technique reflected light destroys an inhibitor in the polymer, and that portion of the layer is dissolved by a developer to delineate voids for contact pads. In a wavefront cancellation technique reflected light is 180° out of phase with the first pass of light, the combination not cross-linking molecules in the polymer, and that portion of the layer is dissolved to delineate voids for contact pads. In an alternative embodiment, a laser interrogation technique, a first incident light outside the absorption spectrum is reflected off the metal contacts leads, and a second incident light within the absorption spectrum is directed at the detected locations of the reflected light, those portions of the polymer in turn dissolved by the developer. The above method provides non-mechanical photo-lithographic techniques to accurately delineate voids for contact pads.

Fabrication of devices of micron and submicron minimum feature size is accomplished by lithographic processing involving a back focal plane filter (8). A particularly important fabrication approach depends upon mask patterns which produce images based on discrimination as between scattered (1b) and unscattered (1a) radiation by accelerated electrons. By changing the filter it is possible to produce two complementary patterns from the same mask.

Embodiments of the present invention relates to apparatus and methods for a maskless lithography on a flexible substrate with active alignment. In one embodiment, a lithography apparatus includes a cylindrical roller rotatable about a central axis and configured to transfer a flexible substrate on a cylindrical substrate supporting surface. A plurality of printing units, each includes an image sensing device and an imaging printing device, may be positioned facing the substrate supporting surface. The plurality of printing units may capture images of pre-existing patterns and/or markers on the flexible substrate as the flexible substrate is being tramsferred continiously and exposure patterns for each printing unit may be adjusted “on-the-fly” according to the captured image, thus achieving active alignment.

The invention relates to an optical element (21) comprising a substrate (30) and a reflective coating (31). The reflective coating (31) has, in particular for the reflection of EUV radiation, a plurality of layer pairs having alternate layers (33a, 33b) composed of a high refractive index material and a low refractive index material, wherein at least one active layer (34) composed of a magnetostrictive material is formed within the reflective coating (31). The invention also relates to an optical element (21) having a substrate (30) and a reflective coating (31), wherein the optical element (21 ) comprises at least one first active layer comprising a material having positive magnetostriction and at least one second active layer comprising a material having negative magnetostriction, wherein the layer thicknesses and the layer materials of the active layers are chosen such that mechanical stress changes or changes in length of the active layers that are produced by a magnetic field mutually compensate for one another. The invention also relates to an optical arrangement, in particular an EUV lithography apparatus, which comprises at least one such optical element (21).

The invention relates to a lighting apparatus (2) for providing light for processing an object (3). A ring of light sources generates processing light for processing the object and an imaging unit (9) images the ring of light sources onto a working plane (16) in which the object is to be processed, wherein the ring of light sources and the imaging unit are configured such that images of the light sources in the working plane are distributed equidistantly in a direction being parallel to a diameter of the imaged ring in the working plane. The ring arrangement allows for a high quality imaging with a relatively small and technically simple optical element. A relatively small lighting apparatus can therefore be provided, which can be used for applications like laser printing.

The present invention provides a lithographic process for producing high aspect ratio parts from an epoxy-type negative photoresist comprising the steps of: (i) irradiating a prebaked masked epoxy-type negative photoresist on a substrate with light at a total energy density of from 18,000 to 35,000mJ/cm2, (ii) post-baking the exposed photoresist at elevated temperature, and (iii) developing the exposed photoresist in a solvent, wherein no more than 15 % of the energy density is contributed by light having a wavelength of 400nm or less. The invention also discloses a reciprocating microengine (10) comprising a cylinder (14), piston (12) and crankshaft made by the process.

Die Aufgabe, einen Belichtungskopf zur Verfügung zu stellen, der einen kompakteren Aufbau ermöglicht, wird dadurch gelöst, dass die Lichtquelle (9,10) eine Leuchtdiode ist. Darüber hinaus betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Druckformen, das einen schnelleren Start der Belichtung dadurch ermöglicht, dass der Lichtstrahl (6,7) von einer Leuchtdiode abgegeben wird.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a device for interfacing nanofluidic and microfluidic components suitable for use in performing high throughput macromolecular analysis. Diffraction gradient lithography (DGL) is used to form a gradient interface between a microfluidic area and a nanofluidic area. The gradient interface area reduces the local entropic barrier to anochannels formed in the nanofluidic area. In one embodiment, the gradient interface area is formed of lateral spatial gradient structures for narrowing the cross section of a value from the micron to the nanometer length scale. In another embodiment, the gradient interface area is formed of a vertical sloped gradient structure. Additionally, the gradient structure can provide both a lateral and vertical gradient.
