Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for regulating a light source of a photolithography exposure system which comprises a plurality of LEDs, by means of the following steps: the light output of the individual LEDs in specific wavelength ranges is detected, and the detected light output is compared with a desired light output distribution over the entire spectrum. The LEDs are operated such that the desired spectral light output distribution is achieved in the most precise manner possible. The invention also relates to an exposure assembly for a photolithography device, having a light source which comprises a plurality of LEDs, a control means which controls the electrical power supplied to the individual LEDs, and a sensor which can detect the light output of the LEDs in the respective ranges of the wavelengths.
