Abstract:
1. A maskless photolithography system for large area photoforming of photosensitive materials comprising: a. a computer system for generating mask patterns and alignment instructions; b. a maskless patterned light generator, operably connected to said computer system, for receiving said mask patterns and alignment instructions, radiating a patterned light beam directed at the photosensitive material, wherein said patterned light beam is generated in conjunction with said alignment instructions; and c. a movable mount to provide relative movement of said maskless patterned light generator and the photosensitive material exposed to said patterned light, wherein the pattern of said patterned light beam is generated in conjunction with the relative movement of said maskless patterned light generator and the photosensitive material to provide large area photoforming of the photosensitive material, wherein the movable mount is an automatically controlled alignment mount, wherein the alignment mount is movable in coplanar first and second dimensions, and in a third dimension direction substantially perpendicular to the first and second coplanar dimensions and substantially parallel to the patterned light beam; the mount providing three dimensional alignment, wherein the alignment mount is moved in three dimensions in response to alignments instruction provided by the computer system.
