This invention relates generally to image projection methods and apparatus for creating color or gray scale images using spatial light modulators (SLMs) without color or gray capability. The basic concept is to divide the pixels on a single SLM into multiple groups and then illuminate each group with a different primary color. The content of the single SLM panel can then be programmed as if there ...

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for the etching of a thin film upon a photomask. The etching is carried out in a reactor via an inductively coupled pulsed plasma. Pulsing of the plasma is achieved by regulating the time period (or duty cycle) in which the plasma is generated. It has been found that by decreasing the duty cycle, high etch selectivity can be achieved and feature sizes can be fai...
