A maskless exposure system for selectively exposing a photosensitive work surface, such as a photoresist layer, includes a semiconductor substrate having an elongated aperture. A series of shutters and associated guides are formed upon the substrate using conventional wafer processing methods. The shutters move between a first position covering the aperture and a second position exposing the aperture. A corresponding series of computer-controlled actuators, in the form of electromagnetic coils, cooperate with the shutters for selectively sliding each shutter between its first and second positions. A light beam is directed toward the aperture, and the shutters create a patterned light beam exiting the aperture. A computer-controlled stepper is synchronized with the shutter actuators and adjusts the relationship between the patterned light beam and the photosensitive work surface to direct the patterned light beam at different portions of the work material. |
