Patent attributes
A method for step-and-align interference lithography is provided in the present invention, by which a displacement error relating to the moving of an interference light beam as the source of the interference light beam is being carried to move by a carrier is measured before interference lithography, and then the displacement error is used as a reference to compensate a positioning error between adjacent interference patterns during step-and-align interference lithography. Besides, the present invention further provides a system for step-and-align interference lithography, which is capable of compensating the positioning error caused by a stepping movement control used for moving a substrate or the light beams in a stepwise manner to form interference-patterned regions by interference lithography and thus the so-generated interference-patterned regions are accurate aligned with one another on a two-dimensional plane for preparing the same to be stitched together to form a two-dimensional large-area periodic structure.
