    摘要: A method and system are used to modify pattern data obtained in relation to a pattern on a static patterning device. It is suggested that, in an example when a maskless lithography tool is used, continuous OPC-enhanced features used for maskless lithography rasterization should include a variation in local amplitude and phase transmittance that matches modulation capabilities of a patterning device being used. The modified pattern data is used by a dynamic patterning device to pattern impinging light, which is then projected onto an object. The system and method comprise using a pattern data generating device, a modification device, a dynamic pattern generator, and a projection system. The pattern data generating device generates pattern data corresponding to a pattern on a static patterning device. The modification device receives the pattern data and modifies the pattern data using characteristics of a type of the dynamic pattern generator being used. The dynamic pattern generator receives the modified patterned data and uses the modified pattern data to pattern the beam of radiation. The projection system projects the patterned beam onto the object.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method and device of inspecting contamination particles on an object comprising a patterned structure. The device includes a radiation system for directing a radiation beam to the object. The object is configured to scatter the beam. The device also includes an optical system arranged to receive scattered radiation from the object, and a filter provided in the optical system. The filter is associated with the patterned structure so as to filter out radiation from the scattered radiation. The device also includes a detector arranged to detect a fraction of radiation that is transmitted by the filter. Accordingly, contamination particles may be detected quickly and accurately.

    摘要: A spatial light modulator used to pattern a radiation beam comprises an array of pixels disposed on a support. Each pixel has a light modulating element for modulating the radiation beam and a control circuit that positions the light modulating elements according to a desired pattern. The control circuit is disposed on the opposite side of the support than the light modulating elements. The control circuit comprises at least one of a digital to analog converter, an analog to digital converter, an optical fiber input, and a processor.
