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.

A method and system are provided for printing a pattern on a photosensitive surface using a spatial light modulator (SLM). An exemplary method includes defining two or more exposure areas on the photosensitive surface, the exposure areas overlapping along respective edge portions of the exposure areas to form an overlap zone therebetween. Two or more exposure areas are exposed to print an image therein, the exposing extending through the overlap zone. The exposing within the overlap zone is then attenuated.

A method and system are provided of using a patterning device. An exemplary method includes defining a first region on a surface, the first region being associated with a first element of the patterning device, defining a second region on the surface, the second region being associated with a second element of the patterning device, activating the first element to expose the overlapping region, and deactivating the second element when the first element is active. The first region and the second region overlap in an overlapping region.

A method and system are provided of using a patterning device. An exemplary method includes performing a first exposure of a surface corresponding to image data, determining an image deficiency within a region of the first image, adjusting the image data to compensate for the image deficiency, and performing a second exposure of the surface corresponding to the adjusted image data during a second pass of the patterning device with respect to the surface. The first exposure occurs during a first pass of the patterning device with respect to the surface to produce a first image on the surface.

The present invention provides systems and methods for maskless lithographic printing that compensate for static and/or dynamic misalignments and deformations. In an embodiment, a misalignment of a pattern formed by a spatial light modulator is measuring during printing. Rasterizer input data is generated based on the measured misalignment and passed the rasterizer. The rasterizer generates pattern data, based on the rasterizer input data, that is adjusted to compensate for the measured misalignment. The pattern data generated by the rasterizer is passed to the spatial light modulator and used to form a second pattern, which includes compensation for the measured misalignment. In an embodiment, deformations caused, for example, by a warping a surface of the spatial light modulator are measured and used by the rasterizer to generate pattern data that compensates for the deformations.

A method and system are provided for forming a pattern within an area of a photosensitive surface. An exemplary method includes performing a first exposure of the photosensitive surface in accordance with predetermined image data, wherein the first exposure occurs during a first pass and produces a first image within the area. The image data is adjusted to compensate for identified image deficiencies image deficiencies, the image deficiencies being within a region of the first image. A second exposure, of the photosensitive surface, is performed in accordance with the adjusted image data during a second pass.
