Abstract

See full text

A maskless lithography system and method produces gray scale patterns on objects. The system includes an illumination source (e.g., either pulsed or effectively continuous), an object including an array of exposure areas, an array of spatial light modulators (e.g., either digital, binary, or analog), and a controller. The array of spatial light modulators pattern and direct light from the illumination source to the object. Each of the spatial light modulators have active areas that respectively correspond with one of the exposure areas on the object. The controller controls the array of spatial light modulators, such that the pattern of the light has spatially varying intensities.
