Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patent is the use of holographic lithography to solve the problem of image scaling in conventional projection lithography caused by various factors such as masks, equipment, and alignment marks. The holographic lithography allows for static scaling of the image by changing the wavelength of light and using a parametric laser. This results in higher precision and reduced manufacturing costs as compared to conventional lithography. The patent also provides a method to adjust image size by changing the wavelength and utilizing specific mathematical calculations.

Problems solved by technology

One practical problem of conventional projection lithography is possibility of image scaling in the image-forming scale in various sequential operations performed with the use of set of different masks.
Such deviations may be caused also by the use of different mask manufacturing tools, etc.
In order to satisfy precision mask scaling requirements these displacements are carried out with the use of extremely complicated and expensive equipment since such an adjustment involves the use of a set of complicated micro-interferometric devices and tools for micronanopositioning.

Abstract

Proposed is a method of static scaling of an image in holographic lithography. The method consists of generating a final virtual digital hologram of the original pattern through a sequence of mathematical calculations with participation of a virtual coherent light source having a predetermined wavelength λ1 and producing an actual hologram on the basis of the virtual digital hologram of the original pattern. The obtained hologram can be used for forming an actual original pattern in a predetermined size. When it is necessary to produce the original pattern in another size, this can be done by static scaling by merely selecting another wavelength for the laser source with adjustable wavelength. The method allows determining the wavelength range in which scalability is possible with substantially homotetic transformation of the image.
