Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards an edge-exposure tool with a light emitting diode (LED), as well as a method for edge exposure using a LED. In some embodiments, the edge-exposure tool comprises a process chamber, a workpiece table, a LED, and a controller. The workpiece table is in the process chamber and is configured to support a workpiece covered by a photosensitive layer. The LED is in the process chamber and is configured to emit radiation towards the workpiece. A controller is configured to control the LED to expose an edge portion of the photosensitive layer, but not a center portion of the photosensitive layer, to the radiation emitted by the LED. The edge portion of the photosensitive layer extends along an edge of the workpiece in a closed path to enclose the center portion of the photosensitive layer.

Claim (Index 19):
The edge-exposure tool according to  claim 16 , further comprising:\n an image sensor underlying the LED, wherein the image sensor is configured to measure an intensity of the LED, wherein exposure controller is configured to adjust the drive current to the LED based on feedback from the image sensor while exposing the edge portion to the radiation.
