Abstract:
An image correction application relating to the ability to apply maskless lithography patterns to a substrate in a manufacturing process is disclosed. The embodiments described herein relate to a software application platform, which corrects non-uniform image patterns on a substrate. The application platform method includes in a digital micromirror device (DMD) installed in an image projection system, the DMD having a plurality of columns, each column having a plurality of mirrors, disabling at least one entire column of the plurality of columns, exposing a first portion of the substrate to a first shot of electromagnetic radiation, exposing a second portion of the substrate to a second shot of electromagnetic radiation, and iteratively translating the substrate a step size and exposing another portion of the substrate to another shot of electromagnetic radiation until the substrate has been completely exposed to shots of electromagnetic radiation.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for correcting non-uniform image patterns on a substrate, comprising:\n measuring an angle of rotation of a digital micromirror device (DMD) installed in an image projection system, wherein the DMD has a plurality of columns, and each column has a plurality of mirrors; disabling at least one entire column of mirrors of the plurality of columns in the DMD in response to the measured angle of rotation to correct line edge roughness to from exposure defects; placing a substrate grid comprising a plurality of dots atop the substrate; superimposing a DMD centroid grid comprising a plurality of dots with the substrate grid; exposing a first portion of the substrate to a first shot of electromagnetic radiation; and iteratively translating the substrate a step size and exposing another portion of the substrate to another shot of electromagnetic radiation until the substrate has been completely exposed to shots of electromagnetic radiation.
