Publication number: 20240126177Abstract: An exposure device and method for semiconductor manufacturing, focusing on the creation of exposure patterns with High Dynamic Range (HDR) capabilities, is disclosed. The exposure device includes a laser source, a first spatial light modulator (SLM), specifically a Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) device, and a second SLM, specifically a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD). The LCOS is positioned upstream in the optical path and is optimized for modulating the phase of the laser. It also directs the laser light towards specific areas on the DMD, crucial for enhancing detail and contrast in exposure patterns. The DMD, placed downstream, is composed of micromirrors that modulate the amplitude of the reflected laser, essential for achieving HDR in exposure patterns. This cooperative interaction between the LCOS and DMD allows for the creation of exposure patterns with a wide range of light intensities, from very bright to very dark, thereby achieving high dynamic range.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Chun-Jung Chiu, Chun-Hsiung Chen, Wan-Chen Chuang
