Abstract
The formation of latent images in photoresist can be monitored during exposure without spurious images by directing a pulsed beam of monochromatic light onto a region of the layer being exposed and selectively detecting the diffracted light. Peak formation in the normalized diffracted intensity versus time curve indicates optimal exposure of the resist.
