Abstract
In this paper, we propose spatiotemporal modulation projection lithography (STPL) technology, which is a spatiotemporal modulation technology applied to the conventional digital micromirror device (DMD) projection lithography system. Through coordinating the micro-movement of the piezoelectric stage, the flexible pattern generation of DMD, and the exposure time, the proposed STPL enables us to fabricate a microstructure with smooth edges, accurate linewidth, and accurate line position. Further application on fabricating a diffraction lens has been implemented. The edge sawtooth of the Fresnel zone plate fabricated by using the STPL is reduced to 0.3 µm, the error between the actual measured linewidth and the ideal linewidth is only within ${{\pm 0.1}}\;\unicode{x00B5}{\rm m}$, and the focal length is 15 mm, which is basically consistent with the designed focal length. These results indicated that STPL can serve a significant role in the micromanufacturing field for achieving high-fidelity microdevices.
