The document discusses optimization of the lithographic process window for mask aligners used in proximity lithography. It introduces a new illumination system called MO Exposure Optics that provides better light uniformity and customizable illumination. Simulation software is used to model the full 3D resist development and visualize the process window. Process window optimization finds the robust process parameters and improves yield. The document examines how factors like the critical dimension, sidelobe printing, sidewall angle, and proximity gap impact the process window. It concludes the new illumination system and simulation tools help optimize lithography and find robust processes for mask aligners.
