Abstract:
A method for exposing a substrate, equipped with an n-layer photoresist system, with a corpuscular radiation, an electrically conductive connection being created between a ground potential and the substrate and/or at least one of the layers S1 through Sn of the photoresist system in order to dissipate electrical charges, wherein in a process step before exposure begins, the layers S1 through Sn are brought into electrically conductive connection with the ground potential by way of a quantity of m contact tips K1 through Km, by the fact that the coated substrate and the contact tips K1 through Km are moved relative to one another until the electrically conductive connection between the ground potential and each individual layer S1 through Sn is created by way of at least one of the contact tips K1 through Km in each case.
