  • Patent number: 10274830
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a dynamic lithographic exposure method, and an associated apparatus, which exposes a photosensitive material over a plurality of depths of focus respectively spanning a different region of the photosensitive material. By exposing the photosensitive material over a plurality of depths of focus, the exposure of the photosensitive material is improved resulting in a larger lithographic process window. In some embodiments, the dynamic lithographic exposure method is performed by forming a photosensitive material over a substrate. The photosensitive material is exposed to electromagnetic radiation at a plurality of depths of focus that respectively span a different region within the photosensitive material. Exposing the photosensitive material to the electromagnetic radiation modifies a solubility of an exposed region within the photosensitive material. The photosensitive material is then developed to remove the soluble region.
