Abstract:
A medical device with structure elements is made by providing a substrate; optionally depositing a layer of a sacrificial material on the substrate; and applying of a photoresist layer to the substrate. The layer of sacrificial material and structuring of the photoresist layer according to the shape of the structure elements are produced such that first free spaces are formed which are open on the side facing away from the substrate and are delimited by side faces of the photoresist layer. An angle is set between the side faces and the substrate. Sacrificial material is deposited in the first free spaces so first mask elements from sacrificial material are adapted to the inner contour of the first free spaces. The photoresist layer is removed so that second free spaces are formed between the first mask elements.

A light source arrangement for a photolithography exposure system comprises at least three light sources with different wavelengths, and a beam splitting unit comprising at least three inputs, one output, and at least two reflecting faces. An input is assigned to each light source and each reflecting face. The reflecting face reflects light that is emitted from the light source assigned to a corresponding input thereof into the output. The three light sources are arranged on three different sides around the beam splitting unit.

Abstract:
A circular cylinder-shaped mask is used to form an image of a pattern on a substrate via a projection optical system. The mask has a pattern formation surface on which the pattern is formed and that is placed around a predetermined axis, and the mask is able to rotate, with the predetermined axis taken as an axis of rotation, in synchronization with a movement of the substrate in at least a predetermined one-dimensional direction. When a diameter of the mask on the pattern formation surface is taken as D, and a maximum length of the substrate in the one-dimensional direction is taken as L, and a projection ratio of the projection optical system is taken as β, and circumference ratio is taken as π, then the conditions for D≧(β×L)/π are satisfied.
