Abstract

A method and apparatus for making a semiconductor device involves placing a semiconductor wafer in a position where two coherent light beams can interfere thereon. One of the coherent light beams is modulated by a hologram inserted in the path of the beam projected onto a surface of the semiconductor wafer. The other of the coherent light beams is also projected onto the same surface of the semiconductor wafer. The two interfering light beams form a pattern on a photoresist film found on the surface of the semiconductor wafer, which can be developed by photoresist techniques.
