In said lens is that the 67 laser B that penetrate reflect at mirror 69, by TIR total reflection (prism (prism)) 70, is irradiated to DMD50.In addition, in Fig. 6, omit this TIR prism 70.
In addition, in the light reflection side of DMD50, it is 51 that configuration makes the image optics in DMD50 laser light reflected B imaging on photosensitive material 150.Represent summarily that in Fig. 6 this image optics is 51, show and know clearly as Fig. 7, constitute by following structure, that is: be 52,54 the 1st image opticss systems that constitute by lens, by lens is 57,58 the 2nd image optics systems that constitute, the microlens array 55 that between these image optics systems, inserts, array of apertures 59.
Microlens array 55 is that most lenticule 55a of each pixel of corresponding DMD50 are aligned to two dimension and form.In this example, as described later, owing to have only 1024 * 256 row to be driven in 1024 * 768 lenticules that are listed as of DMD50, so corresponding with it, lenticule 55a is aligned to 1024 * 256 row.In addition, the disposition interval of lenticular 55a is for vertically, laterally being 41 μ m.This lenticule 55a, as an example, can form focal length is that 0.19mm, NA (opening number) they are 0.11, BK7 forms by optical glass.In addition, for the shape of lenticule 55a, the back is elaborated.
Then, the beam diameter that is positioned at the laser B of each lenticule 55a is 41 μ m.
In addition, above-mentioned array of apertures 59 is that most apertures (opening) 59a that forms each lenticule 55a of corresponding microlens array 55 forms.In the present embodiment, the diameter of aperture 59a is 10 μ m.
Above-mentioned the 1st image optics is the DMD50 imaging to be zoomed into 3 times, imaging on microlens array 55.Then, the 2nd image optics system will be amplified to 1.6 times through the picture of microlens array 55, imaging on photosensitive material 150, projection.Thereby, whole for the DMD50 imaging zooms into 4.8 times, by imaging, project on the photosensitive material 150.
In addition, in this example, set prism to (prism pair) 73 between the 2nd image optics system and photosensitive material 150, move this prism to 73 by above-below direction in Fig. 7, the focus of regulating the picture on the photosensitive material 150 becomes possibility.In addition, in figure, photosensitive material 150 transmits to the subscan of arrow F direction.
As shown in Figure 8, DMD50 is on sram cell (storage unit (memory cell)) 60, and a plurality of (for example 1024 * 768) the small mirror (micro mirror) 62 that constitutes each pixel (picture point (pixel)) is aligned to the mirror device that lattice-shaped forms.In each picture point, at the micro mirror 62 of topmost setting, at the high material of surperficial AM aluminum metallization isoreflectance of micro mirror 62 by shore supports.In addition, the reflectivity of micro mirror 62 is more than 90%, and its arrangement pitches is for example 13.7 μ m at vertical and horizontal.In addition, under micro mirror 62, by the pillar that comprises the configuration of hinge (hinge) and yoke (yoke), be configured in the sram cell 60 of the CMOS of the Si-gate of making on the manufacturing line of common semiconductor memory (silic connects gate), integral body is made of monolithic (m connects olithic).
If to sram cell 60 supplied with digital signal of DMD50, then by the micro mirror 62 of shore supports, with the diagonal line substrate-side that the center disposes DMD50 relatively, tilt with the scope of ± α degree (for example ± 12 degree).Fig. 9 (A) expression micro mirror 62 be in as (connections) state of connection to+state that the α degree tilts, Fig. 9 (B) expression micro mirror 62 is in the state to-α degree inclination as (shutoff) state of shutoff.Thereby, as shown in Figure 8, by the inclination of the micro mirror 62 in each picture point of corresponding image signals control DMD50, to the laser B of DMD50 incident by vergence direction reflection to separately micro mirror 62.
In addition, Fig. 8 is the part that DMD50 is amplified in expression, micro mirror 62 is controlled as+the α degree or-example of the state of α degree.Utilize the above-mentioned controller 302 that is connected with DMD50, carry out the connection of each micro mirror 62 and turn-off control.In addition, on the direction that the micro mirror 62 laser light reflected B of off state advance, configuration absorber of light (not shown).
In addition, the preferred slight inclination of DMD50 is configured to its minor face and becomes viewpoint angle (for example 0.1 °~5 °) with sub scanning direction.Figure 10 (A) expression utilizes the track while scan of the reflected light picture (exposing light beam) 53 of each micro mirror when DMD50 is not tilted, and Figure 10 (B) expression utilizes the track while scan of the exposing light beam 53 when DMD50 is tilted.
Among the DMD50, the major diameter direction is arranged the micro lens array of a plurality of (for example 1024) micro mirror, arrange many groups (for example 756 groups) in the minor axis direction, and shown in Figure 10 (B), by DMD50 is tilted, utilize the become spacing P1 of the sweep trace when DMD50 is tilted of the spacing P2 of track while scan (sweep trace) of the exposing light beam 53 of each micro mirror narrow, can improve the exploring degree significantly.On the other hand, the pitch angle of DMD50 is small, so that the sweep trace W2 of DMD50 when tilting, the sweep trace W1 when DMD50 is tilted is roughly the same.
In addition, also become utilize that different micro lens arrays is overlapping, on the identical sweep trace of exposure (multiple-exposure).Like this, by making its multiple-exposure, the pettiness amount that can control the exposure position of relative positioning mark (alignmentmark) can realize high meticulous exposure.In addition, by little a spot of exposure position control, can the section of not having connect the connection eye between a plurality of photoheads that are arranged in main scanning direction poorly.
In addition, even replace making DMD50 to tilt, and stagger predetermined distance to the direction of sub scanning direction quadrature, each micro lens array is configured to staggered, also can obtain same effect.
Shown in Figure 11 A, fiber array light source 66 possesses a plurality of (for example 14) laser module 64, an end of multimode optical fiber 30 combines with each laser module 64.At the other end of multimode optical fiber 30, and clad (clad) diameter identical with core diameter and multimode optical fiber 30 combines less than the optical fiber 31 of multimode optical fiber 30.Know clearly as Figure 11 B and to show, the end of optical fiber 30 opposition sides of multimode optical fiber 31, along with the main scanning direction of sub scanning direction quadrature, arrange 7, be arranged in 2 row, constitute laser injection part 68.
Shown in Figure 11 B, 2 back up pads 65 that the laser injection part 68 that is made of the end of multimode optical fiber 31 is had an even surface sandwich, fixing.In addition, for the light of protecting multimode optical fiber 31 penetrates end face, be preferably in transparent fenders such as this end face configuration glass.The light of multimode optical fiber 31 penetrates end face owing to the optical density height, thus collect dust easily, easy deterioration, but, can prevent that dust from adhering to end face by the aforesaid fender of configuration, can also slow down deterioration in addition.
In this example, as shown in figure 12, the head portion of the laser emitting side of the multimode optical fiber 30 that optical fiber 31 that the clad diameter about long 1~30cm is little and clad diameter are big, coaxial combination.These optical fiber 30,31 are under the state of separately mandrel unanimity, and the incident end face by making optical fiber 31 and the ejaculation end face of optical fiber 30 are bonding, and combination.As mentioned above, the diameter of the core 31a of optical fiber 31 is identical size with the diameter of the core 30a of multimode optical fiber 30.
As multimode optical fiber 30 and optical fiber 31, also can be suitable for any one of step index (step index) type optical fiber, graded index (graded index) type optical fiber and compound optical fiber.For example, can use the step index type optical fiber of Mitsubishi Cable Ind Ltd's system.In this example, multimode optical fiber 30 and optical fiber 31 are step index type optical fiber, and multimode optical fiber 30 is clad diameter=125 μ m, core diameter is 50 μ m, NA=0.2, and the transmitance of incident end face coating=more than 99.5%, optical fiber 31 is clad diameter=60 μ m, and core diameter is 50 μ m, NA=0.2.
Wherein, the clad diameter of optical fiber 31 is not limited to 60 μ m.The clad diameter of a lot of optical fiber that use in the optical fiber source in the past is 125 μ m, but since the more little then depth of focus of clad diameter become dark more, so the clad diameter of multimode optical fiber be preferably below the 80 μ m, more preferably below the 60 μ m.On the other hand, under the situation that is single-mode fiber, it is 3~4 μ m that core diameter needs at least, so the clad diameter of optical fiber 31 is preferably more than the 10 μ m.In addition, from the point of joint efficiency, preferably make the core diameter of optical fiber 30 consistent with the core diameter of optical fiber 31.

At the bottom surface of container 40 fixed base (base) plate 42, the fiber support thing 46 in this incident end of the above-mentioned heating square 10 of installation, the collector lens stilt (holder) 45 that keeps collector lens 20 and maintenance multimode optical fiber 30 above substrate 42.Draw outside container from the opening that the wall at container 40 forms the ejaculation end of multimode optical fiber 30.
In addition, collimator lens stilt 44 is installed, is kept collimator lens 11~17 at this in the side of heating square 10.On the cross wall face of container 40, form opening, drawn outside the container to the wiring 47 that GaN based semiconductor laser instrument LD1~LD7 supplies with drive current by this opening.
In addition, in Figure 15,, in a plurality of GaN based semiconductor laser instruments, only give mark numbering on the GaN based semiconductor laser instrument LD7, in a plurality of collimator lens, only give mark numbering on the collimator lens 17 for fear of numerous and diverseization of figure.
Figure 16 is the figure of front shape of the mounting portion of the above-mentioned collimator lens 11~17 of expression.
Collimator lens 11~17 forms respectively with parallel plane will possess the shape that slenderly cut in the zone that comprises optical axis of aspheric round lens.The collimator lens of this elongated shape for example can form by module shaping resin and optical glass.Collimator lens 11~17 is connected airtight arrangement in the orientation of above-mentioned luminous point, and orientation (left and right directions of Figure 16) quadrature of the luminous point of major diameter direction and GaN based semiconductor laser instrument LD1~LD7.
On the other hand, as GaN based semiconductor laser instrument LD1~LD7, can use to possess the active layer that luminous width is 2 μ m, for example be the laser that 10 °, 30 ° state is sent out laser B1~B7 respectively with the extended corner of the direction at the direction parallel with active layer, right angle.These GaN based semiconductor laser LD1~LD7 is adapted to luminous point and arranges 1 row in the direction parallel with active layer.
Thereby, the laser B1~B7 that sends from each luminous point, as mentioned above, each collimator lens 11~17 at relative elongated shape, the direction that expanded-angle is big is consistent with length direction, under the direction that expanded-angle the is little state consistent with cross direction (with the direction of length direction quadrature), and incident.In other words, the width of each collimator lens 11~17 is 1.1mm, and length is 4.6mm, incides the horizontal direction of their laser B1~B7, the beam diameter of vertical direction is respectively 0.9mm, 2.6mm.In addition, collimator lens 11~17 is respectively, focal length f 1=3mm, NA=0.6, lens configuration spacing=1.25mm.
The parallel plane of collector lens 20 usefulness will possess the zone that comprises optical axis of aspheric round lens slenderly cuts, and forms orientation in collimator lens 11~17, is that horizontal direction is long, in the short shape of direction rectangular with it.This collector lens 20 is focal length f 2=23mm, NA=0.2.This collector lens 20 also can form by for example module shaping resin or optical glass.
Then, with reference to Figure 17, the electric structure in this routine image exposing apparatus is described.As shown here, modulation circuit 301 is connected with whole control part 300, and the controller 302 of control DMD50 is connected with this modulation circuit 301.In addition, the LD driving circuit 303 of driving laser module 64 is connected with whole control part 300.And then the objective table drive unit 304 that drives above-mentioned objective table 152 is connected with this integral body control part 300.
[work of image exposing apparatus]
Then, the work to above-mentioned image exposing apparatus describes.In each photohead 166 of scanner 162, the GaN based semiconductor laser instrument LD1~LD7 (with reference to Figure 13) that closes the ripple LASER Light Source that constitutes fiber array light source 66 is respectively with laser B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 and the B7 of the ejaculation of diverging light state, and is parallel photochemical by the collimator lens 11~17 of correspondence respectively.Parallel photochemical laser B1~B7 is by collector lens 20 optically focused, brings together on the incident end face of the core 30a of multimode optical fiber 30.
In this example, constitute light-gathering optics system, constitute with multimode optical fiber 30 by this light-gathering optics system and close the ripple optical system by collimator lens 11~17 and collector lens 20.
That is, utilize collector lens 20 as described above the laser B1~B7 of optically focused incide the core 30a of this multimode optical fiber 30, propagate in the optical fiber, close ripple to 1 a laser B, penetrate from the optical fiber 31 that combines with the ejaculation end of multimode optical fiber 30.
In each laser module, laser B1~B7 is 0.9 to the joint efficiency of multimode optical fiber 30, under the situation that respectively is output as 50mW of GaN based semiconductor laser instrument LD1~LD7, to the optical fiber 31 that is arranged in array-like, what can obtain exporting 315mW (=50mW * 0.9 * 7) respectively closes ripple laser B.Thereby whole 14 root multimode fibers 31 can obtain the laser B of the output of 4.4W (=0.315W * 14).
When carrying out image exposure, the view data of corresponding exposing patterns is input to the controller 302 of DMD50 from modulation circuit shown in Figure 17 301, is remembered at frame memory (framememory) temporarily.This view data is the data with the concentration of each pixel of 2 values (having or not of the record of point (dot)) expression composing images.
At the objective table 152 of surface adsorption photosensitive material 150, utilize objective table drive unit 304 shown in Figure 17, along guide rail 158, with constant speed, from the upstream side of door 160 side shifting downstream.Objective table 152 is during by door 160 times, if utilize the sensor 164 that is installed on door 160 to detect the top of photosensitive material 150, the view data of being remembered in frame memory is divided into multirow, read successively, based on the view data that reads at data processing division, produce control signal respectively at each photohead 166.Then, utilize the mirror drive control part,,, control is connected/turn-offed to each micro mirror of DMD50 at each photohead based on the control signal that produces.In addition, in the case of this example, the above-mentioned micro mirror that becomes 1 pixel portions is of a size of 14 μ m * 14 μ m.
If to DMD55 irradiating laser B, when the micro mirror of DMD50 was on-state, it was 54,58 that the laser that is reflected utilizes lens, imaging on photosensitive material 150 from fiber array light source 66.Like this, the laser that penetrates from fiber array light source 66 is switched on/turn-offs in each pixel, and photosensitive material 150 exposes at the pixel cell (exposure range 168) with the roughly the same number of the use pixel count of DMD50.In addition, photosensitive material 150 is by moving with constant speed with objective table 152, and photosensitive material 150 utilizes scanner 162 to carry out subscan to the reverse direction of objective table moving direction, at each photohead 166, forms banded exposure area 170.
In addition, in this example, as Figure 18 (A) and (B), DMD50 has arranged the micro lens array of 1024 micro mirrors to main scanning direction, arrange 768 groups to sub scanning direction, but in this example, utilize controller 302 to be controlled to be only micro lens array (for example 1024 * 256 row) driving of some.
In this case, also can shown in Figure 18 (A), use the micro lens array of the central portion that is disposed at DMD50, also can shown in Figure 18 (B), use the micro lens array of the end that is disposed at DMD50.In addition, in a part of micro mirror, produce under the situation of defective, also can suitably change to use and not produce the micro lens array that the micro lens array etc. of defective uses according to situation.
There is the limit in the data processing speed of DMD50, owing to be directly proportional with the pixel count that uses, determines the modulating speed of per 1 row, so by only using the micro lens array of a part, accelerate the modulating speed of per 1 row.On the other hand, continuously relatively under the situation of the Exposure mode of plane of exposure moving exposure head, do not need all to use the pixel of sub scanning direction.
If utilize the subscan of the photosensitive material 150 of scanner 162 to finish, detect the rear end of photosensitive material 150 with sensor 164, objective table 152 utilizes objective table drive unit 304 so, along guide rail 158, revert to the initial point of the upstream side that is positioned at door 160, again along guide rail 158, from the upstream side of door 160 downstream side move with constant speed.
Then, illumination optical system as described below shown in Figure 7 is described, this illumination optical system is made of fiber array light source 66, collector lens 71, post integrator (rod integrator) 72, imaging len 74, catoptron 69 and TIR prism 70, to the laser B of DMD50 irradiation as illumination light.For example for forming the light transmission bar of square column, in the process of advancing in laser B portion's total reflection within it, intensity distributions is by homogenization in the beam cross section of this laser B for post integrator 72.Wherein, incident end face, ejaculation end face coating antireflection film at post integrator 72 improve transmitance.As mentioned above, as long as can make as intensity homogenization to heavens respectively in the beam cross section of the laser B of illumination light, the heterogeneity of illumination light intensity is disappeared, the high-accuracy image of exposure becomes possibility on photosensitive material.
At this, Figure 19 represents to measure the result of flatness of the reflecting surface of the micro mirror 62 that constitutes DMD50.In with figure, represent to link the equal height position of reflecting surface with level line, isocontour spacing is 5nm.Wherein, be 2 diagonals of micro mirror 62 with x direction shown in the figure and y direction, micro mirror 62 is the center with the turning axle that extends to the y direction, as described above rotation.In addition, Figure 20 (A) and (B) represent respectively along the height and position displacement of the reflecting surface of the micro mirror 62 of above-mentioned x direction, y direction.
As above-mentioned Figure 19 and shown in Figure 20, on the reflecting surface of micro mirror 62, have distortion, and if pay special attention to the catoptron central portion, the distortion of 1 diagonal (y direction) is greater than the distortion of another diagonal (x direction) so.So the shape in the spot position of the laser B of the lenticule 55a of microlens array 55 optically focused may deform.
In the image exposing apparatus of present embodiment, in order to prevent the problems referred to above, the lenticule 55a of microlens array 55 becomes and different in the past special shapes.Below this point is elaborated.
It (B) is respectively the front shape of the whole microlens array 55 of expression in detail and the figure of side view that (A) of Figure 21 reaches.In these figure, also mark the size of each several part of microlens array 55, their unit is mm.In the present embodiment, at first illustrated as this figure with reference to Figure 18, the micro mirrors 62 of 1024 * 256 row of DMD50 are driven, and are corresponding therewith, microlens array 55 constitute transversely arranged 1024 lenticule 55a be listed in vertically on be set up in parallel into 256 row.Wherein, in figure, represent with i, vertically representing with k the putting in order of microlens array 55 of transverse direction.
In addition, Figure 22 (A) reaches front shape and the side view of (B) representing 1 lenticule 55a in the above-mentioned microlens array 55 respectively.Wherein, in figure, in conjunction with the level line of expression lenticule 55a.The end face of the light emitting side of each lenticule 55a becomes the aspherical shape of the aberration that the distortion of the reflecting surface of revising above-mentioned micro mirror 62 causes.More specifically, in the present embodiment, lenticule 55a becomes toric lens (toric lens), the radius of curvature R x=-0.125mm of the direction of corresponding above-mentioned x direction on the optics, the radius of curvature R y=-0.1mm of the direction of corresponding above-mentioned y direction.
Thereby the spot condition of the laser B in the cross section parallel with above-mentioned x direction and y direction is substantially respectively as (A) of Figure 23 and (B).In other words, if in the relatively more parallel cross section with the x direction with the cross section parallel with the y direction in, the radius-of-curvature of the lenticule 55a in the latter's the cross section is littler, it is shorter that focal length becomes.
Lenticule 55a is under the situation of above-mentioned shape, and that utilizes near the spot position (focal position) of this lenticule of computer simulation (simulation) 55a beam diameter the results are shown in Figure 24a, b, c and d.In addition, for relatively, under the situation of spherical shape of radius of curvature R x=Ry=-0.1mm that is lenticule 55a, carry out Simulation result equally and see Figure 25 a, b, c and d.Wherein, the evaluation position of the focus direction of the z value representation lenticule 55a among each figure is apart from the distance of the light beam outgoing plane of this lenticule 55a.
In addition, the face shape of the lenticule 55a that uses in the above-mentioned simulation is represented with following formula 1.
[several 1]
Mathematical formulae 1
z = Cx X 2 + Cy Y 2 1 + SQRT ( 1 - C x 2 X 2 + C y 2 Y 2 )
Wherein, in following formula, the curvature of Cx:x direction (=1/Rx), the curvature of Cy:y direction (=1/Ry), the distance apart from lens axis O of X:x directional correlation, the distance apart from lens axis O of Y:y directional correlation.
Comparison diagram 24a~d and Figure 25 a~d are as can be known, in the present embodiment, by making lenticule 55a become focal length in the cross section parallel, can suppress near the distortion of the beam shape this spot position less than the toric lens of the focal length in the cross section parallel with the x direction with the y direction.If like this, can there be the shifting ground meticulousr image that on photosensitive material 150, exposes to become possibility so.In addition, also as can be known in the present embodiment shown in Figure 24 a~d, the zone that beam diameter is little is wideer, and promptly the depth of focus is bigger.
In addition, under the distortion magnitude relationship of the central portion of the x of lenticule 62 direction and y directional correlation and above-mentioned opposite situation, if lenticule is made of the toric lens of the focal length in the cross section parallel with the x direction less than the focal length in the cross section parallel with the y direction, can there be the shifting ground meticulousr image that on photosensitive material 150, exposes to become possibility equally so.
