Abstract

We describe a simple concept of an in situ photolithographic technique by using a liquid crystal display panel as a configurable mask and a CCD (charge coupled device) camera as a simple imaging system. The successive operation of imaging and configurable masking enabled a real-time projection lithography process by the selective exposure of light through the LCD (liquid crystal display) panel. A correction of a defect pattern could be also demonstrated by optimizing the exposure conditions and aligning the mismatches between imaging and the corresponding lithographic patterning.
