And S2, searching the position of the space image by controlling the movement of the sensor motion table, so that the light passing through the alignment mark is diffracted, and moire fringes are formed.
The sensor motion stage scans the alignment marks to locate the aerial image of the mask marks and diffracts the aerial image of the mask marks to form moire fringes.
And S3, the Moire fringes reach a DMD space modulator for encoding.
The moire fringes are incident on the surface of the DMD spatial modulator through the lens, the DMD can generate '0' and '1' arrays in a random mode, wherein '0' represents no reflection, '1' represents reflection, and the encoded moire fringes are collected by the CCD.
And S4, the coded moire fringes reach the CCD camera, and the moire fringes are reconstructed according to the acquired light intensity information.
