==Exposure mode== | |||
Aligner: Maskless 03 offers two exposure modes. The exposure mode is selected during design conversion. | |||
'''High quality (4)''' mode is used for optimal resolution and minimum stripe stitching effects. | |||
In the high quality mode, an area of the pattern is exposed by 5 stripes, each 500µm wide and exposing a fifth of the dose. At the same time, sub-pixel interpolation is applied, yielding an address grid size of 100nm. | |||
'''Fast''' mode is used for maximum exposure speed. | |||
In the fast mode, each area of the pattern is exposed by 2 stripes only. This effectively cuts the exposure time in half, but also doubles the size of the address grid in the X-direction. Due to less averaging of non-uniformities, stitching effects will be more prominent in this mode. | |||
