A pair exposing unit 30 is essentially identical structure, exposing unit 30A (the 1st exposing unit 30) be arranged on workpiece W from perforated cylinder parts 41 away from position near, another exposing unit 30B (the 2nd exposing unit 30) is positioned at and suspends on suction guidance unit 60.
Fig. 3 illustrates the concrete example of exposing unit 30 (30A and 30B).Exposing unit 30 has light source portion 20, and light source portion 20 is made up of two light source portion 20a and light source portion 20b with identical inner structure.Because light source portion 20a and light source portion 20b is identical structure, so, with light source portion 20a for representative is described.
Light source portion 20a is made up of UV lamp 21, the 1st completely reflecting mirror 22, collector lens 23, the 2nd completely reflecting mirror 24, fly's-eye lens 25, aperture (not shown).Light source portion 20a has UV lamp 21, penetrates from UV lamp 21 ultraviolet light that the various wavelength from 365nm to 440nm coexist.
The ultraviolet light penetrated from UV lamp 21 is irradiated by elliptical reflector 26 heavenwards direction, will towards changing into horizontal direction by the 1st completely reflecting mirror 22, assembled by collector lens 23, and will towards changing into direction, ground (direction of workpiece W) by the 2nd completely reflecting mirror 24.Change towards ultraviolet light become through fly's-eye lens 25 and aperture and be branched to four light beams.Light beam, further via 8 the 1st projecting lens 33 and 8 catoptrons 34, incides 8 DMD (DigitalMicro-mirrorDevice: digital micromirror device) element (array of light modulation elements) 36 and becomes the light beam controlled.This light beam controlled through the 2nd projection lens set 37, thus is adjusted the multiplying power of the exposure plotting that will project, and is irradiated to workpiece W.That is, as the direct exposure device 100 of drawing apparatus according to the description data of exposure picture being accommodated with expectation in advance, the ultraviolet light of light source portion 20a and light source portion 20b is controlled.
The exposure region of exposing unit 30A is determined as follows.As mentioned above, workpiece W is after departing from from perforated cylinder parts 41, suspension suction guidance unit 60 moves, move along horizontal tangent direction (the workpiece W departed from from perforated cylinder parts 41 aspirates guidance unit 60 by suspending, and is level by disengaging angular setting) at the topmost of perforated cylinder parts 41.The exposure region AE (Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 6) of exposing unit 30A is not simple rectangle strictly speaking, but, here simply by rectangle performance, this rectangle using the direction (Width of workpiece W) vertical with the throughput direction of workpiece W as length direction.And, as shown in Figure 6, for this exposure range Y, when being benchmark with intersection point (intersecting lens) S of the axle center 41X of perforated cylinder parts 41 and tangential direction, the exposure range Y2 of downstream (deflector roll 14 side) is set as the exposure range Y1 large (Y1<Y2) than the upstream side (the barrel surface sides of perforated cylinder parts 41) of intersecting lens S.
On suspension suction guidance unit 60, for aspirating guidance unit 60 by suspension, the workpiece W of (maintenance) planarity being improved to the exposing unit 30B that workpiece W exposes, exposing in exposure region AE (Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 6).The exposure range Y of this exposing unit 30B can be identical with the exposure range Y of exposing unit 30A, also can be different.Same with the exposure region of exposing unit 30A, the exposure region AE (Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 6) of exposing unit 30B is not simple rectangle strictly speaking, but, here simply by rectangle performance, this rectangle using the direction (Width of workpiece W) vertical with the throughput direction of workpiece W as length direction.Exposing unit 30A and 30B is positioned at same plane to the exposure region AE that workpiece W exposes.
Fig. 9 schematically shows the exposure status of exposing unit 30A and 30B in two exposure region AE.In fig .9,, wherein there is the actual exposure district R of DMD (DigitalMicro-mirrorDevice: the digital micromirror device) element 36 utilizing the rectangle of thick line to depict in the size of the optical system of the round C represented by double dot dash line occupied by the 1st projecting lens 33 shown in Fig. 3 of exposing unit 30A and 30B and catoptron 34.In illustrated example, in an exposure region AE, there are four actual exposure district R, the rectangle region in the direction vertical with the throughput direction of workpiece W comprising these four actual exposure district R is set to AE.In addition, exposing light beam in figure 3, branches into eight optical systems, and in the example of figure 9, branches into four optical systems.
In this embodiment, the alignment cameras 50 separated at the Width of workpiece W for a pair is possessed.This alignment cameras 50 is taken the alignment mark MA (Fig. 4) be pre-formed on the workpiecew thus is determined the description coordinate system of (correction) exposing unit 30A and 30B.Alignment cameras 50, at the absorption starting position place shooting alignment mark MA of workpiece W relative to exposure roller 40 (perforated cylinder parts 41), is adsorbed starting position and is equal to camera site.And alignment cameras 50 and exposing unit 30A are oppositely disposed across exposure roller 40, and optical axis is each other across exposure roller 40, is positioned at the roughly plumb position of contrary side.The exposure light injection direction of the shooting direction relatively referring to alignment cameras 50 here and exposing unit 30A is facing with each other, but at this moment respective optical axis, without the need to being on same axis, also can offset on substrate throughput direction.Alignment cameras 50 and exposing unit 30A be preferably arranged to wherein at least one optical axis strictly towards vertical.By configuring alignment cameras 50 and exposing unit 30A like this, the optical system of alignment cameras 50 and exposing unit 30A can be remained the most stable state, optimum optical property can be obtained.
Fig. 4 illustrates the position relationship between unit cell pattern region AP on workpiece W and two exposure region AE of alignment mark MA, alignment cameras 50 and exposing unit 30A and 30B.In illustrative example, relative to a unit cell pattern region AP (scope of once aiming at and describing), be formed with 4 (2 × 2 row) alignment mark MA, alignment cameras 50 can carry out position adjustment, makes to photograph alignment mark MA in the center of camera fields of view 50a.
In addition, number and the configuration of alignment mark MA suitably set according to the pattern that will describe, and number and the configuration of alignment cameras 50 can certainly correspondingly be determined.
This direct exposure device 100 of said structure carries out action as follows.Supply spool 10, exposure roller 40, winding reel 11 are carried out synchronous rotary exactly by servo-drive system and are controlled, the workpiece W that supply spool 10 reels through deflector roll 12,13, exposure roller 40, suspend suction guidance unit 60, deflector roll 14, is winding to winding reel 11.The position of rotation of the perforated cylinder parts 41 of exposure roller 40 is detected exactly by linear graduation 45, linear transducer 46.
In the conveying at this workpiece W is moved, when applying negative pressure via negative pressure source 43 and controller (regulator) 44 to suction recess 42a, workpiece W α place between suction district is attracted on the side face of perforated cylinder parts 41.That is, the disengaging configuration from the absorption starting position of the bottom of perforated cylinder parts 41 to the top, the side face that workpiece W is maintained at perforated cylinder parts 41 moves in barrel surface.Absorption starting position is the position that alignment cameras 50 takes alignment mark MA simultaneously.The absorption of workpiece W preferably in the mode that must start in shot location, from than camera site a little by upstream side (supply side) position beginning.
In addition, in the conveying of workpiece W is moved, supply forced air via positive pressure source 64 to the air feed trough 62a of the suction guidance unit 60 that suspends also blow out from the through hole 61b of guide plate 61, simultaneously via negative pressure source 63 to air suction socket 62b applying negative pressure and from through hole 61c withdrawing air.Aspirated by the blowout of this air, the plane precision of the workpiece W that guide surface 61a passes through improves.
And, when workpiece W advances, and when being taken 4 (2 × 2 row) alignment mark MA of a unit cell pattern region AP by alignment cameras 50, determine the coordinate system of this unit cell pattern region AP.At the end of the shooting of the alignment mark MA of a unit cell pattern region AP, start the shooting of the alignment mark MA of next unit cell pattern region AP continuously, determine new coordinate system.
At the end of the shooting of four alignment mark MA of unit cell pattern region AP, the position of the unit cell pattern region AP that aligning measurement section computation and measurement goes out and designed unit cell pattern region AP and scale error (aligning).Exposure control unit, according to above-mentioned error, carries out coordinate conversion to description data, and data are described in the correction generating exposing unit 30A and 30B.
When the front end of unit cell pattern region AP arrives exposing unit 30A, exposure control unit describes data according to correction, modulates, irradiation pattern light on workpiece W, the photosensitive oxidant layer of workpiece W forms pattern to the DMD element 36 of exposing unit 30A.Then, when the assigned position of unit cell pattern region AP arrives exposing unit 30B, equally, exposure control unit describes data according to correction, the DMD element 36 of exposing unit 30B is modulated, irradiation pattern light on workpiece W, the photosensitive oxidant layer of workpiece W forms pattern.This pattern formation is carried out by known multiple exposing method.
As long as workpiece W does not depart from (and being kept) from perforated cylinder parts 41 at the exposure position place of exposing unit 30A, just the absorption of workpiece W to perforated cylinder parts 41 can be removed by the position of upstream side (supply side) a little at exposure position or than exposure position.
In the above exposure actions for workpiece W, to be adsorbed by perforated cylinder parts 41 and the workpiece W of movement can its feed accuracy of higher maintenance, and its position can be detected exactly by linear graduation 45 and linear transducer 46.And, owing to performing the exposure utilizing exposing unit 30A near the position that perforated cylinder parts 41 depart from the workpiece W sent with high feed accuracy, so high description precision can be realized.In addition, due to can to send with high feed accuracy and the workpiece W that the suction guidance unit 60 that passes through to suspend maintains high planarity utilizes the exposure of exposing unit 30B, so, can realize equally highly describing precision.
In addition, following advantage can be obtained in the exposure carried out at the exposing unit 30A of illustrated embodiment.The workpiece W aspirated by perforated cylinder parts 41 is curved surface, but, as mentioned above, excellent in surface accuracy (flatness in face) and workpiece feed accuracy on perforated cylinder parts 41.Therefore, in the AE of exposure region, comprise the exposure region (scope Y1) on the perforated cylinder parts 41 of surface accuracy and feed accuracy excellence.On the other hand, although than in the exposure region (scope Y2) of intersecting lens S downstream, suppose that workpiece W is plane, but, in fact owing to departing from from perforated cylinder parts 41, so along with away from perforated cylinder parts 41, plane precision error (the desirable focus face of exposing unit 30A and the deviation of exposure region AE) is in the trend of expansion.So, make exposure region AE cross over upstream side and the downstream of intersecting lens S.In addition, the exposure range Y2 in the downstream of intersecting lens S is set as larger than the exposure range Y1 from upstream side, can prevent the actual depth of focus (remove the plane precision error of the workpiece W of exposure region AE and obtain from the depth of focus of optical system) from shoaling thus, realize the hachure of depicting pattern.That is, by making the exposure range Y2 in the plane in downstream larger than the exposure range Y1 on curved surface, can easily depicting pattern in the depth of focus of exposing unit 30A.Specifically, be preferably more than 70% by the range set in downstream, be more preferably set as more than 80%.Specifically, when exposure range Y is 10mm, the scope of upstream side is Y1=2 ~ 3mm, and the scope in downstream is Y2=8 ~ 7mm.
During exposing unit 30A and 30B carries out exposure actions, perform alignment mark image pickup step and the data correcting step of next unit cell pattern region AP concurrently.So when the end exposure of unit cell pattern region AP, exposing unit 30 can start the exposure of next unit cell pattern region AP continuously.
In order to carry out alignment mark image pickup step and data correcting step concurrently, as shown in Figure 4, consider the size of unit cell pattern region AP, make exposing unit 30A, 30B and alignment cameras 50 be in mode (in the mode that distance is between the two longer than unit cell pattern region AP) between the two with four alignment mark MA of unit cell pattern region AP, separate its position.The exposing unit 30A of present embodiment and alignment cameras 50 are positioned at up and down, even if so will expose roller 40 miniaturization, also can guarantee its distance across exposure roller 40.In addition, exposing unit 30A and alignment cameras 50 configure along vertical side by side across exposure roller 40, so can utilize roller the most efficiently, and can improve position alignment precision and the throughput rate of workpiece W.
