ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for correcting a plurality of exposure tools has an image memory configured to store images projected by the exposure tools, a contrast evaluator configured to rank the exposure tools based on contrasts of the images, an evenness evaluator configured to determine whether optical proximity effects of the exposure tools are equivalent or not based on the images, and an exposure tool controller configured to adjust each contrast of the images projected by the exposure tools so that all optical proximity effects of the exposure tools is equivalent to an optical proximity effect of the lowest ranked exposure tool having the lowest contrast.
