Abstract
This paper shows that a direct write laser has completely incoherent properties, even though the light used for illumination is coherent. As a result of this fact it has twice the resolving power of that of a coherent imaging system. Due to the extended depth of focus steep resist walls can be achieved using a direct write system. To demonstrate this exposure on 1.5 micrometers and 2.0 micrometers thick photoresist were made. A multiple- exposure technique is proposed to produce structures consisting of 0.25 micrometers lines and spaces, although the smallest structure which can be exposed is 0.75 micrometers .
