Abstract

Optical system provides a uniform, well-collimated beam particularly for the exposure of photoresist on integrated circuit boards. The well-collimated beam is produced in a short beam path through the use of a series of mirrors, including concave mirrors and an integrator mirror to produce reliable exposure characteristics at the exposure focal plane. Preferably, a beam splitter is provided so that the focal plane is illuminated on both sides for concurrent exposure of both sides of the board.
