Abstract

The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of performing a photolithography process. The method includes forming a photosensitive material over a substantially flat upper surface of a substrate. The substantially flat upper surface of the substrate extends between opposing sides of the substrate. The photosensitive material is exposed to electromagnetic radiation at a plurality of depths of focus that are centered at different heights over the substrate. The photosensitive material is developed to remove a part of the photosensitive material.
