    Abstract: A lithography apparatus generates a tunable magnetic field to facilitate processing of photoresist. The lithography apparatus includes a chamber and a substrate stage in the chamber operable to hold a substrate. A magnetic module provides a magnetic field to the substrate on the substrate stage. The magnetic module is configured to provide the magnetic field in a tunable and alternating configuration with respect to its magnitude and frequency. The magnetic field is provided to have a gradient in magnitude along a Z-axis that is perpendicular to the substrate stage to cause magnetically-charged particles disposed over the substrate stage to move up and down along the Z-axis. The lithography apparatus also includes a radiation energy source and an objective lens configured to receive radiation energy from the radiation energy source and direct the radiation energy toward the substrate positioned on the substrate stage.
