Abstract

Direct writing systems equipped with a confocal micro-light-emitting diode array can employ active illumination by the array for alignment purposes. Based on the principles of single-pixel imaging, structured illumination can be used to obtain position information. The positions of markers with certain spectral signatures can be extracted from the recorded hyperspectral data through spectral filtering, spectral fitting, or principal component analysis. Application to direct writing is demonstrated by creating individual photolithography patterns aligned with different types of fluorophores on the same substrate.
