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 17):
The edge-exposure tool according to  claim 16 , further comprising:\n a first lens having a light-receiving surface and a light-emitting surface on opposite sides of the first lens and respectively facing the LED and the workpiece table, wherein the first lens is configured to receive the radiation at the light-receiving surface; a mounting structure suspended over the workpiece table, wherein the first lens is mounted to a bottom of the mounting structure; an LED housing overlying and spaced from the first lens, wherein the LED housing is mounted to the mounting structure and accommodates the LED; and a second lens mounted to a bottom of the LED housing, wherein the second lens is between the first lens and the LED housing and is spaced from the first lens.
