Abstract
A method is disclosed for creating a permanent pattern on a substrate. The method includes the steps of providing an array of photon sources, each of which provides a photon beam, providing an array of focusing elements, each of which focuses an associated photon beam from the array of photon sources onto a substrate, and creating a permanent pattern on a substrate using the array of focusing elements to respectively focus associated photon beams on the substrate.
