Abstract

A method forms a feature pattern on a substrate by exposing the substrate, using a mask having a pattern of features thereon, with illumination having a first set of settings. The substrate is exposed a second time, using the same mask having the pattern of features thereon, with illumination having a second set of settings. The mask having the pattern of features thereon remains stationary between the two illumination exposures of the substrate.
