Abstract:
Patterns from a phase array are transferred to a substrate such as a series of overlapping patterns and non-overlapping patterns. The overlapping patterns are associated with phase array pixel offsets so as to overlap at the substrate and the necessary overlap is based on substrate scan speed. Non-overlapping or offset patterns are obtained by varying optical pulse timing as the substrate is scanned, or by including a corresponding offset to pattern definition at the phase array.

Claim (Index 12):
An exposure apparatus for exposing an object with exposure light from a light source, the apparatus comprising:\n a spatial light modulator including a plurality of optical elements arranged in an optical path of the exposure light; and a controller configured to control the spatial light modulator so as to selectively set selected optical elements of the plurality of optical elements in a first state or a second state, wherein the controller controls the spatial light modulator so as to:\n expose a first exposure region on the object with a first exposure light from optical elements positioned in a first region of the spatial light modulator selected from the plurality of optical elements; and \n expose a second exposure region on the object which partially overlaps the first exposure region on the object with a second exposure light from optical elements of the plurality of optical elements positioned in a second region of the spatial light modulator, wherein the second region of the spatial light modulator partially overlaps the first region of the spatial light modulator.
