Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system which can change a pattern more quickly and at less cost compared with a mask base system. SOLUTION: Wide range contrast can be attained in such a way that an inclination and location of individually controllable element are adjusted simultaneously. This can be used to compensate a cupping of the individually controllable element. Simultaneous adjustment of location and inclination of the individually controllable element can be attained by two electrodes capable of operating over a range of values.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system that can more quickly change a pattern at a lower cost, as compared with a mask base system. SOLUTION: The tilt and position of individually controllable element becomes simultaneously adjustable and allows a wider range of contrasts to be achieved. This can also be used to compensate for cupping of individually controllable elements. Simultaneous adjustment of both the position and the tilt of the individually controllable elements can be attained by two electrodes which are operable over a range of values.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a computer-implemented defect prediction method for a device manufacturing process involving processing a portion of a design layout onto a substrate, the method comprising: identifying a hot spot from the portion of the design layout; determining a range of values of a processing parameter of the device manufacturing process for the hot spot, wherein when the processing parameter has a value outside the range, a defect is produced from the hot spot with the device manufacturing process; determining an actual value of the processing parameter; determining or predicting, using the actual value, existence, probability of existence, a characteristic, or a combination thereof, of a defect produced from the hot spot with the device manufacturing process.
