Again, above X post 24, the key element of x-ray guiding device 29 is that x-ray guiding element 29a is fixed with for example two in X-direction with set interval as shown in Figure 2.In the two sides of X post 24, be fixed with and be contained in the magnet unit 31a (X stator) of X-direction with set spaced multiple permanet magnets again.
Coarse motion microscope carrier 26 consists of cuboid member, forms the X sliding component 29b of x-ray guiding device 29 together with being fixed with multiple and above-mentioned x-ray guiding element 29a below it.X sliding component 29b as shown in Figure 3, is interval with for example two in X-direction with set in an x-ray guiding element 29a.X sliding component 29b is sticked in corresponding x-ray guiding element 29a freely with low friction slip, and coarse motion microscope carrier 26 can move with set stroke in X-direction with low friction on X post 24.
In the two sides of coarse motion microscope carrier 26, by mounting panel 32, be fixed with and form together with magnet unit 31a in order to coarse motion microscope carrier 26 is driven to coil unit 31b in the x-ray motor 31 of X-direction (X can mover) with set stroke again.
Coarse motion microscope carrier 26 is limited the relatively moving of past Y direction of relative X post 24 by Y linear guide 29, move toward Y direction with X post 24 one.That is coarse motion microscope carrier 26 forms the twin shaft bearing table device of support (gantry) formula together with X post 24.The Y positional information of X post 24 and the X positional information of coarse motion microscope carrier 26 are obtained by for example not shown linear encoder system (or optical interferometer system) respectively.
A pair of stepping guiding element 30 is all equipped on a pair of baseplate carrier pallet 18 as shown in Figure 2.The member that a pair of stepping guiding element 30 is rectangle (with reference to Fig. 1) by the YZ section that extends X-direction respectively forms, and in Y direction, with set interval, is configured to each other parallel.Above-mentioned X post 24 inserts 30 of a pair of stepping guiding elements by both fixed gaps.Length direction (X-direction) size of stepping guiding element 30 is set as short a little compared with X post 24, and Width (Y direction) size is set as wide a little compared with X post 24.The flatness above of stepping guiding element 30 makes very high.
Below stepping guiding element 30, be fixed with as shown in Figure 1 the Y sliding component 27b that forms Y linear guide 27 together with multiple and above-mentioned Y linear guide 27a.Y sliding component 27b, is interval with for example two in Y direction with set in a Y linear guide 27a.Y sliding component 27b is sticked in corresponding Y linear guide 27a freely with low friction slip, and stepping guiding element 30 can move with set stroke in Y direction with low friction on a pair of baseplate carrier pallet 18.
A pair of stepping guiding element 30 is linked to X post 24 by hookup mechanism 34 mechanical types in all as shown in Figure 2 near the both ends of length direction.Hookup mechanism 34 comprises the rod member that extends Y direction and the sliding regulating device that is installed on these rod member both ends (for example ball bond part), by above-mentioned sliding regulating device, is set up between X post 24 and stepping guiding element 30.The rigidity of the Y direction of rod member is set as higher.
At baseplate carrier device 20, when X post 24 (not shown in Fig. 2 by multiple Y linear motors 21.With reference to Fig. 3) for example, by after the driving of the side in Y direction (+Y) direction, for example, stepping guiding element 30 in the opposing party's side (-Y side) of Y direction is drawn by X post 24 by hookup mechanism 34, and for example, by hookup mechanism 34, presses on X post 24 at the stepping guiding element 30 of side's side (+Y side) of Y direction.By this, a pair of stepping guiding element 30 is displaced into Y direction with X post 24 one.
Return to Fig. 1, fine motion microscope carrier 28 consists of the box component of overlooking rectangle, and face is fixed with substrate holding 36 thereon.In fine motion microscope carrier 28-Y side side, by speculum base 38, be fixed with the Y rod speculum 40y of the reflecting surface with the Y-axis of being orthogonal to, in fine motion microscope carrier 28-X side side, by speculum base 38, be fixed with as shown in Figure 3 the X rod speculum 40x of the reflecting surface with the X-axis of being orthogonal to.In addition, too complicated for fear of diagram in Fig. 2, the diagram of substrate holding 36, speculum base 38, Y rod speculum 40y and X rod speculum 40x (with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 3) is omitted respectively.
Near four bights below fine motion microscope carrier 28, be separately installed with as shown in Figure 2 reinforcement block 42.Below reinforcement block 42, air bearing 44 is installed as shown in Figure 1 again.Return to Fig. 2, the gas of for example two air bearing 44 of+Y side ejection face (bearing surface) subtend is above the stepping guiding element 30 of+Y side, and the gas ejection of for example two air bearing 44 of-Y side is in the face of to above the stepping guiding element 30 of-Y side.For example four air bearing 44 all spray gas-pressurized (for example air) above to corresponding stepping guiding element 30.Fine motion microscope carrier 28, by being provided to the gas-static between air bearing 44 and stepping guiding element 30, is suspended on a pair of stepping guiding element 30 across minim gap.In addition, the configuration of air bearing 44 and number, as long as can make fine motion microscope carrier 28 suspend on a pair of stepping guiding element 30 with stable state, be not particularly limited.
Fine motion microscope carrier 28 is induced by coarse motion microscope carrier 26 by the fine motion microscope carrier drivetrain that comprises multiple voice coil motors and is driven toward X-direction and/or Y direction.In multiple voice coil motors, comprise as shown in Figure 2 for example two X voice coil motor 46x and for example two Y voice coil motor 46y of the heap power that produces X-direction.For example two X voice coil motor 46x, a side be disposed at fine motion microscope carrier 28+Y side, the opposing party be disposed at fine motion microscope carrier 28-Y side, for example two Y voice coil motor 46y, a side be disposed at fine motion microscope carrier 28+X side, the opposing party be disposed at fine motion microscope carrier 28-X side.
The formation of above-mentioned multiple voice coil motors, except configuring difference, other parts are all identical, therefore following explanation be disposed at fine motion microscope carrier 28+the X voice coil motor 46x of Y side.As shown in Figure 1, X voice coil motor 46x comprise be fixed on coarse motion microscope carrier 26+the X stator 46a of Y side side be fixed on fine motion microscope carrier 28 X below can mover 46b.X stator 46a has not shown coil unit.X can be formed as YZ section U font by mover 46b, in its a pair of subtend face, is fixed with permanet magnet.The coil unit that X stator 46a has is by both between the above-mentioned a pair of permanet magnet of fixed gap insertion.In addition, though the X voice coil motor 46x of this example is dynamic magnetic, also moving coil type.
At baseplate carrier device 20, for example, when coarse motion microscope carrier 26 is displaced into X-direction along X post 24 with long stroke, the thrust (Lorentz force) of the X-direction that control example produces as two X voice coil motor 46x so that fine motion microscope carrier 28 to move with coarse motion microscope carrier 26 equidirectionals and identical speed.Again, when X post 24 is displaced into Y direction with long stroke, the thrust of the Y direction that control example produces as two Y voice coil motor 46y so that fine motion microscope carrier 28 to move with X post 24 (that is coarse motion microscope carrier 26) equidirectional and identical speed.By this, coarse motion microscope carrier 26 moves with long stroke along XY plane with fine motion microscope carrier 28 one.
Again, fine motion microscope carrier 28, by making for example thrust direction of two X voice coil motor 46x (or for example two Y voice coil motor 46y) become opposite directions, and coarse motion microscope carrier 26 is driven a little toward θ z direction relatively.Fine motion microscope carrier 28 is being induced by coarse motion microscope carrier 26 and when X-direction is driven with long stroke, is suitably being driven a little in Y direction and/or θ z direction.
The liquid crystal exposure apparatus 10 (with reference to Fig. 1) forming in the above described manner, under the management of not shown main control unit, by not shown mask loader, mask M is loaded into mask microscope carrier 14, and by not shown substrate loader, substrate P is loaded on substrate holding 36., by main control unit use not shown aligning detect system carry out locating tab assembly, after locating tab assembly is finished, to being set in multiple irradiation areas in substrate P, successively carry out the exposure actions of step-scan mode thereafter.In addition,, because this exposure actions is identical with the exposure actions of the step-scan mode of carrying out in the past, therefore description is omitted.
For example, when the scan exposure when the exposure actions of above-mentioned step-scan mode moves etc., at baseplate carrier device 20, by substrate holding 36, keep the fine motion microscope carrier 28 of substrate P to be driven with long stroke in X-direction.Stepping guiding element 30 length directions (X-direction) size is set as long a little in the movable distance of X-direction compared with fine motion microscope carrier 28, and fine motion microscope carrier 28, when being displaced into X-direction with coarse motion microscope carrier 26 one, is to move on a pair of stepping guiding element 30.At fine motion microscope carrier 28, when Y direction is carried out stepwise operation, be to be displaced into Y direction with coarse motion microscope carrier 26, X post 24 and a pair of stepping guiding element 30 one again.Therefore, fine motion microscope carrier 28 can not come off from a pair of stepping guiding element 30.
According to the baseplate carrier device 20 of described above example, because fine motion microscope carrier 28 is equipped on a pair of stepping guiding element 30 with contactless state, therefore can be to drive (induction) in X-axis and/or Y direction fine motion microscope carrier 28 compared with low thrust.Because the Position Control of fine motion microscope carrier 28 promotes, therefore can carry out high-precision exposure again.Again, due to suppressed from the reception and registration of outside vibration and reaction force to fine motion microscope carrier 28, therefore can be with the position of high accuracy control fine motion microscope carrier 28.
Again, because a pair of stepping guiding element 30 is encompassed in the mobile range of the fine motion microscope carrier 28 of X-direction, and in Y direction and fine motion microscope carrier 28 one, move, therefore at baseplate carrier device 20, not needing to have is enough to the guide member of the broad area of containing the full moving range of fine motion microscope carrier 28 in XY plane (for example price fixing).Therefore, with low cost and conveyance, assembling are easily.
Again, due to the key element of the Y linear motor 21 in order to drive X post 24, to be magnet unit 21a (Y stator) separation in vibration with baseplate carrier pallet 18, and it is 16 etc. that driving reaction force in the time of therefore can suppressing to drive X post 24, vibration etc. are conveyed to the projection optics being supported by device body.
In addition, the formation of described above example can suitably change.For example, also can be in configuring Z tilt actuators between fine motion microscope carrier 28 and substrate holding 36 or between reinforcement block 42 and fine motion microscope carrier 28 can control Z-direction, the θ x direction of substrate P, the position of θ y direction.Again, X post 24 also can dispose multiple in 30 of a pair of stepping guiding elements.
Again, in above-mentioned example, though stepping guiding element 30 is drawn by X post 24 and is displaced into Y direction, be not limited to this, for example, also can use the actuators such as linear motor that a pair of stepping guiding element 30 is driven independently with X post 24.Under this situation, as the stator of the linear motor in order to drive a pair of stepping guiding element 30, also can use the Y stator 21a (with reference to Fig. 3) that is fixed on underframe 22.
Again, in above-mentioned example, though driven in Y direction by multiple Y linear motors 21 by X post 24, a pair of stepping guiding element 30 and X post 24 one are displaced into the formation of Y direction, but be not limited to this, a pair of stepping guiding element 30 for example, is driven in Y direction by actuator (linear motor), follows the formation (even if the actuator that drives X post 24 is not set) that is displaced into Y direction in this X post 24 also can.
Again, in above-mentioned example, though fine motion microscope carrier 28 is supported on a pair of stepping guiding element 30 from below noncontact by multiple air bearing 44, also can for example, fine motion microscope carrier 28 be equipped on stepping guiding element 30 with contact condition by rolling element (spheroid).
Also a pair of stepping guiding element 30 physical properties (mechanically) can be linked to (but non-contravention is in X post 24) again.Under this situation, after a side stepping guiding element 30 is drawn by X post 24, due to the opposing party's stepping guiding element 30 also one move, therefore for example as long as X post 24 only draws (or pressing) side's stepping guiding element 30.
Again, illumination light can be ultraviolet light or the F of ArF excimer laser (wavelength 193nm), KrF excimer laser (wavelength 248nm) etc. 2laser (wavelength 157nm) equal vacuum ultraviolet light.Again, as illumination light, also for example can use the single wavelength laser of the infrared tape sending from dfb semiconductor laser or optical-fiber laser or visible light belt with for example doped with in addition amplification of the fiber amplifier of erbium (or erbium and ytterbium both), use nonlinear optics crystallization in addition wavelength be converted to the harmonic wave of ultraviolet light.Also can use Solid State Laser (wavelength: 355nm, 266nm) etc. again.
Again, above-mentioned example, though the situation that is 16 for the projection optics of poly-lens mode that possesses multiple projecting optical units is described, the number of projecting optical unit is not limited to this, as long as one above.In addition, being not limited to the projection optics system of poly-lens mode, can also be the projection optics system etc. that for example uses the large-scale speculum of Ou Funa (Ofner) type.Again, in above-mentioned example, though be 16 to understand and use projection multiplying powers for waiting situation of times person as projection optics, be not limited to this, projection optics system dwindles be and amplify any of system.
