Abstract:
1. Method for producing exposed structures on a plurality of components arranged on at least one substrate member by means of an exposure unit, wherein: the at least one substrate member arranged on a substrate carrier and the exposure unit are moved relative to one another in a main direction (X) and transversely to the main direction (X) in a secondary direction (Y), identical structures are produced on at least some of the components, each of the identical structures is produced by way of exposure of the at least one substrate member in an area of the component respectively provided within a plurality (M) of macrolines (MZ) extending in the main direction (X) and lying next to one another in the secondary direction (Y), each of the macrolines (MZ) comprises a plurality (V) of lines (Z) extending in the main direction (X) and lying next to one another in the secondary direction (Y), during a single pass along a path of exposure (W) all the components to be provided with identical structures and covered by the path of exposure (W) are exposed with the exposure unit in an area of the same macroline (MZ) of the plurality (M) of macrolines (MZ), and the exposure unit has a plurality (N) of light sources, a control activating the light sources essentially at the same time, and a control memory constructed such that sets of data already stored for the macroline (MZ), in the area of which exposure is being carried out, are able to be read from said memory while sets of data of an additional macroline (MZ) are being stored.
