Abstract:
Phase conflicts in pattern transfer with phase masks can be resolve by exposing pattern features with a first pattern and a second pattern, wherein the second pattern is selected based on the phase conflicts. In scanned exposures using pulsed lasers, a number of exposures of the second pattern can be less than 20% of a total number of exposures.

Claim (Index 41):
An exposure method which exposes a workpiece with an exposure light from a plurality of optical elements of a programmable array, the method comprising:\n setting an optical element from the plurality of optical elements positioned in a first area of the programmable array to a first state so as to expose a first exposure region on the workpiece with a first exposure light from the optical element in the first area; setting an optical element from the plurality of optical elements positioned in a second area of the programmable array to the second state so as to expose a second exposure region on the workpiece with a second exposure light from the optical element in the second area; and setting an optical element from the plurality of optical elements positioned in a third area of the programmable array which includes a part of the first area and a part of the second area to the first or second state so as to expose a third exposure region of the workpiece situated between the first exposure region and the second exposure region with a third exposure light from the optical element in the third area.
