    摘要: A microlens array with reduced or no empty space between individual microlenses and a method for forming the same. The microlens array is formed by patterning a first set of microlens precursors in a checkerboard pattern on a substrate. The first set of microlens precursors is reflowed and cured into first microlenses impervious to subsequent reflows. Then, a second set of microlens precursors is patterned in spaces among the first microlenses, reflowed and cured into second microlenses. The reflows and cures can be conducted under different conditions, and the microlenses may be differently sized. The conditions of the reflows can be chosen to ensure that the focal lengths of microlenses are optimized for maximum sensor signal.

    摘要: Ellipse-shaped microlenses focus light onto unbalanced photosensitive areas, increase area coverage for a gapless layout of microlenses, and allow pair-wise or other individual shifts of the microlenses to account for asymmetrical pixels and pixel layout architectures. The microlenses may be fabricated in sets, with one set oriented differently from another set, and may be arranged in various patterns, for example, in a checkerboard pattern or radial pattern. The microlenses of at least one set may be substantially elliptical in shape. To fabricate a first set of microlenses, a first set of microlens material is patterned onto a support, reflowed under first reflow conditions, and cured. To fabricate a second set of microlenses, a second set of microlens material is patterned onto the support, reflowed under second reflow conditions, which may be different from the first conditions, and cured.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for exposing a radiation-sensitive material of a microlithographic substrate to a selected radiation. The method can include directing the radiation along a radiation path in a first direction toward a reticle, passing the radiation from the reticle and to the microlithographic substrate along the radiation path in a second direction, and moving the reticle relative to the radiation path along a reticle path generally normal to the first direction. The microlithographic substrate can move relative to the radiation path along a substrate path having a first component generally parallel to the second direction, and a second component generally perpendicular to the second direction. The microlithographic substrate can move generally parallel to and generally perpendicular to the second direction in a periodic manner while the reticle moves along the reticle path to change a relative position of a focal plane of the radiation.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for controlling an intensity distribution of a radiation beam directed to a microlithographic substrate. The method can include directing a radiation beam from a radiation source along the radiation path, with the radiation beam having a first distribution of intensity as the function of location in a plane generally transverse to the radiation path. The radiation beam impinges on an adaptive structure positioned in the radiation path and an intensity distribution of the radiation beam is changed from the first distribution to a second distribution by changing a state of the first portion of the adaptive structure relative to a second portion of the adaptive structure. For example, the transmissivity of the first portion, or inclination of the first portion can be changed relative to the second portion. The radiation is then directed away from the adaptive structure to impinge on the microlithographic substrate.
