    摘要: A process and apparatus for dynamically adjusting the exposure dose on a photosensitive coating at a localized area within an exposure field in a step-and-scan lithography system. The process and apparatus form a pattern on a photosensitive substrate, such as used in the integrated circuit manufacturing industry. The exposure dose is adjusted at a localized area by a segmented slit system or an array of light-transmitting pixels located across the exposure field. The slit segments or individual pixels are automatically controlled in response to data obtained regarding the uniformity of the projection optics system or the mask pattern.

    摘要: The preferred embodiment of the present invention is a method of enhancing normally unenhanced features types. Pattern shapes are placed on two or more relatively simple, modified masks instead of using a single mask containing diverse feature types. On these modified masks, (hereinafter "overlay masks"), all of the features are the type normally enhanced. A composite pattern is printed into photoresist through successive exposure to the overlay masks.
