A method for imaging a non-planar resist uses a non-integrating resist. The resist may be a thermoresist which changes from an unexposed state to an exposed state upon heating to a threshold temperature. The method involves using a variable focus optical system and making a plurality of exposures at different focus settings. The duration and intensity of the exposures is selected so that areas on the resist corresponding to in-focus features are heated to temperatures in excess of the threshold temperature and become exposed whereas areas on the resist corresponding to out-of-focus features are heated to temperatures which are insufficient to expose the resist.
