1. A process for the preparation of a plurality of well-defined structures of at least one electronic device, said process including the imagewise exposure of radiation sensitive material, said process comprises the steps of:

  • (a)providing a support web;

    (b)providing a layer of radiation sensitive composition coated on said support web;

    (c)providing a pre-patterned photomask, said photomask comprises a strip formed as a continuous loop, said photomask pattern corresponding in form to at least one of said structures so as to permit an image of said structure to be projected by radiation passing through said photomask;

    (d)aligning said photomask loop adjacent to said support web so that a portion of said photomask loop is in generally parallel orientation to at least a portion of said web,(e)selectively imagewise exposing said radiation sensitive material by passage of radiation through said photomask;

    (f)rolling said photomask loop in synchronized motion relative to said support web, said synchronized motion includes moving at least a portion of said photomask loop and at least a portion of said web in parallel in substantially the same direction.
