    摘要: A lithographic system and method are provided that allow for variations of a basic device design to be generated without substantially increasing the cost of the data path hardware. The lithographic apparatus includes an array of individually controllable elements, a control system, a first data buffer, and a second data buffer. The control system provides control signals to the array of individually controllable elements. The first data buffer stores pattern data that corresponds to a pattern to be exposed on a plurality of areas on the substrate. The second data buffer stores pattern variation data, corresponding to at least one change to a part of the pattern. The control system is configured, such that at least one variation of the pattern is exposed on one of the areas on the substrate with the pattern variation data.

    摘要: A light patterning system comprises an illumination system that supplies a beam of radiation having a certain wavelength (λ). An array of reflective pixels patterns the beam, wherein the array includes pixels having at least a first tilting mirror that is logically coupled to a second tilting mirror. In an embodiment, the first and second tilting mirrors are (i) substantially adjacent to each other; and (ii) offset in height from each other by a first mirror displacement. A projection system is included that projects the patterned beam onto a target. In alternate embodiment, the array of reflective pixels includes pixels having first through fourth tilting mirrors that are logically coupled to each other. The first through fourth tilting mirrors are (i) respectively offset in height from a reference plane by first through fourth mirror displacements, and (ii) are respectively arranged clockwise in a substantially square pattern.

    摘要: A system and method are used to manufacture a device using at least one exposure step. Each exposure step projects a patterned beam of radiation onto a substrate. The patterned beam includes a plurality of pixels. Each pixel delivers a radiation dose no greater than a predetermined normal maximum dose to the target portion in the exposure step and/or at least one selected pixel delivers an increased radiation dose, greater than the normal maximum dose. The increased dose may be delivered to compensate for the effect of a defective element at a known position in the array on a pixel adjacent a selected pixel or compensate for underexposure of the target portion at the location of a selected pixel resulting from exposure of that location to a pixel affected by a known defective element in another exposure step.

    摘要: A maskless lithography system has a patterning array assembly formed by a plurality of patterning arrays, each patterning array having a substrate. Each patterning array has a plurality of individually controllable elements to endow an incoming radiation beam with a patterned cross-section. To reduce the global unflatness of the patterning array assembly that is oriented in a first plane, the position of at least one substrate of a patterning array is adjusted to a second orientation. Reduction of the global unflatness of the patterning array assembly reduces a telecentricity error without introducing additional error into the maskless lithography system.
