  • Patent number: 8027018
    Abstract: In order to improve a method for producing exposed structures on a plurality of components by means of an exposure unit, with which substrate member and the exposure unit are moved relative to one another, wherein identical structures are produced on at least some of the components, in such a manner that this operates as efficiently as possible it is suggested that each of the identical structures be produced by way of exposure of the substrate member in the area of the component respectively provided within a plurality of macrolines, that each of the macrolines comprise a plurality of lines lying next to one another, that during a single pass along a path of exposure all the components covered by this path of exposure be exposed with the exposure unit in the area of the same macroline of the plurality of macrolines, that the exposure unit have a plurality of light sources and a control with a control memory, with which sets of data already stored for the macroline, in the area of which exposure is being carr

  • Patent number: 7652750
    Abstract: A lithography exposure device is provided which includes a mounting device for the layer sensitive to light, an exposure unit with several laser radiation sources, an optical focusing means associated with the laser radiation sources, a movement unit for generating a relative movement between the optical focusing means and the mounting device, and a control for controlling intensity and position of exposure spots so that exposed structures which are as precisely structured as possible can be produced. A laser radiation field propagating in the direction of the light-sensitive layer generates each of the exposure spots from respective focal points and has a power density which leads in the conversion area in the light-sensitive layer to formation of a channel penetrating the light-sensitive layer with an index of refraction increased in relation to its surroundings by the Kerr effect and which guides the laser radiation field in a spatially limited manner.

  • Publication number: 20060244943
    Abstract: In an exposure system for substrate members which bear a photosensitive coating on a substrate surface, comprising a machine frame, a substrate carrier bearing the substrate member and an exposure device, wherein the substrate member and the exposure device can be moved relative to one another such that the photosensitive coating can be exposed as a result of this relative movement, it is suggested for an exposure of the photosensitive coating which is as precise as possible that the exposure device have an optics slide which can be moved in the second direction and on which an optical imaging device for the exposure of the substrate member is arranged, and that the exposure device have a light source unit which is arranged on the machine frame separately from the optics slide and has a plurality of light sources, the radiation of which can be coupled into the optical imaging device.

  • Publication number: 20050083509
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for exposing substrate materials comprising: at least one optical exposure device, at least one substrate platform; a device for generating a relative displacement between the exposure device and the substrate platform in two transversal directions, whereby the relative displacement in a primary direction occurs with a greater dynamic response than in a secondary direction; at least one primary drive for generating the relative displacement in the primary direction; and at least one secondary drive for generating the relative displacement in the secondary direction. The aim of the invention is to position the substrate platform with the greatest possible accuarcy and the greatest possible dynamic response. To achieve this, the device comprises two substrate platforms that move substantially in opposition to one another in the primary direction.
