Hereinafter, it is explained with reference to embodiments of the present invention.In the following description, set XYZ rectangular coordinate system, With reference to this XYZ rectangular coordinate system, the position relationship of each component is illustrated.Using the prescribed direction in horizontal plane as X-direction, Using direction vertical with X-direction in the horizontal plane as Y-direction, will be (i.e. vertical with the direction that X-direction and Y-direction are respectively perpendicular Direction) as Z-direction.
(first embodiment)
The axonometric chart of the ultraviolet lamp 1 that Fig. 1 is related to for first embodiment.Fig. 2 is related to for first embodiment Ultraviolet lamp 1 top view.Fig. 3 is the ultraviolet that is related to of first embodiment of the III-III sectional view comprising Fig. 2 The side view of beam irradiating apparatus 1.
< ultraviolet lamp >
As shown in FIG. 1 to 3, ultraviolet lamp 1 is the device carrying out ultraviolet irradiation for substrate 10.Ultraviolet Irradiation unit 1 has room (chamber) 2 (resettlement section), platform (stage) 3, illumination unit 4, carrying mechanism 5 (move portion), cooling Portion 6, gas supply part 7 and control unit 8.Control unit 8 sums up the element controlling ultraviolet lamp 1.
< room >
Room 2 houses the substrate 10 carrying out ultraviolet irradiation process.Room 2 is formed as box like, becomes rectangle during vertical view.Specifically For, room 2 is formed by following key elements:Top board 20, described top board 20 covers the top of substrate 10, is rectangular plate-like;Perisporium 21, institute State the side that perisporium 21 covers substrate 10 in the mode of surrounding, be rectangular box-like;With base plate 22, described base plate 22 covers substrate 10 Lower section.In the -Y direction side of perisporium 21, it is provided with substrate carrying-in/carrying-out mouth 21a, described substrate carrying-in/carrying-out mouth 21a is used for base Plate 10 is moved into room 2 and is taken out of from room 2.
For example, top board 20, perisporium 21 and base plate 22 are formed by the light obstructing member blocking ultraviolet.Thus, can avoid to During substrate 10 irradiation ultraviolet radiation of the inside of room 2, ultraviolet appears to the outside of room 2.
Room 2 is configured to house substrate 10 in confined space.For example, by using welding etc. by top board 20, perisporium 21 And each connecting portion of base plate 22 is seamlessly connected, the air-tightness in room 2 can be improved.For example, the decompression such as pump machanism can be set in room 2 Mechanism (not shown).Thus, substrate 10 can be housed in the state of making decompression in room 2.
As shown in figure 3, the heating arrangements 11 of heating substrate 10 can be arranged in room 2.Heating arrangements 11 have and substrate 10 The rectangular plate-like of same plane view dimensions, is configured in the way of supporting substrate 10 from below.Heating arrangements 11 quilt It is installed on platform 3.Heating arrangements 11 include heater etc. (not shown).
< transmissive portions >

As shown in figure 3, the inside of the linking part 54b in gate frame 54, it is provided with maintaining part 54c keeping illumination unit 4. Maintaining part 54c forms the recess being recessed upward from the lower surface of the Y-direction pars intermedia of gate frame 54.Remove in illumination unit 4 and shine The recess penetrating part maintained portion 54c outside face 4a (lower surface) surrounds, and is coated to by the wall portion of gate frame 54.For example, gate Frame 54 is formed by the light obstructing member blocking ultraviolet.Thus, can avoid when from illumination unit 4 irradiation ultraviolet radiation, ultraviolet to The side diffusion of gate frame 54, can (substrate 10 in room 2) irradiation ultraviolet radiation downward.
As shown in Fig. 2 in the X direction, length L1 of each guide rail 51 is longer than length L2 of room 2 (L1 > L2).This embodiment party In formula, in the X direction, make length L1 of each guide rail 51 than length L2 of room 2 and 2 times of length (2 × L3) of gate frame 54 plus and Length (L2+2 × L3) longer.Thus, in top view, illumination unit 4 can be made to move from the region at the -X direction end beyond room 2 Region to the +X direction end beyond room 2.
< cooling end >
As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the outside in room 2 is provided with the cooling end 6 that can cool down illumination unit 4.Cooling end 6 quilt It is installed on the side of sidewall portion (door pillar portion 54a) of the +Y direction side of gate frame 54.For example, cooling end 6 uses hair-dryer.Thus, can be by The steam being produced from illumination unit 4 is to outside drain.
Carrying mechanism 5 makes cooling end 6 and illumination unit 4 together outside mobile in room 2.
< gas supply part >
It is provided with gas supply part 7, the state of the internal atmosphere of described gas supply part 7 scalable room 2 in room 2.Gas Body supply unit 7 supplies the nitrogen (N as dry gas2), helium (He), the non-active gas such as argon (Ar).
Herein, gas supply part be equivalent to above described in " oxygen concentration adjustment portion " and " dew point adjustment portion ".
By gas supply part 7, the dew point of the internal atmosphere of scalable room 2, the moisture concentration in scalable room 2.
For example, gas supply part 7 adjusts the supply of dry gas, and the dew point of the internal atmosphere of room 2 is adjusted to -80 DEG C More than (moisture concentration be 0.54ppm, on the basis of quality) and for -5 DEG C (moisture concentrations as 4000ppm, on the basis of quality) Below.
For example, in the atmosphere in pre- pattern (prepattern) solidification after the exposure by resist film, by as above Described make dew point be below the preferred upper limit, the solidification of pattern can be made easily to carry out.On the other hand, by for preferred lower limit More than, workability with device aspect etc. can be improved.
In addition, passing through gas supply part 7, the also oxygen concentration of the internal atmosphere of scalable room 2.The oxygen of the internal atmosphere of room 2 Concentration (on the basis of quality) is more low better.Specifically, the oxygen concentration preferably making the internal atmosphere of room 2 is below 1000ppm, The oxygen concentration more preferably making the internal atmosphere of room 2 is below 500ppm.
For example, in the atmosphere in the pre- pattern solidification after the exposure by resist film, by making oxygen concentration as mentioned above Below the preferred upper limit, the solidification of pattern can be made easily to carry out.
< ultraviolet irradiation method >
Next, ultraviolet irradiation method of the present embodiment is described.In present embodiment, using above-mentioned ultraviolet Beam irradiating apparatus 1 are to substrate 10 irradiation ultraviolet radiation.The action carrying out in each portion of ultraviolet lamp 1 can pass through control unit 8 It is controlled.
Ultraviolet irradiation method of the present embodiment includes housing step, irradiating step and moving step.
House in step, room 2 houses substrate 10 in confined space.For example, via substrate carrying-in/carrying-out mouth 21a, by base Plate 10 is transported in room 2, then occlusion substrate carrying-in/carrying-out mouth 21a and make room 2 airtight.
In irradiating step, illumination unit 4 is to substrate 10 irradiation ultraviolet radiation.
In moving step, carrying mechanism 5 makes illumination unit 4 outside mobile in room 2, so that from the outside of room 2 to quilt It is housed in substrate 10 irradiation ultraviolet radiation within room 2.
In moving step, make illumination unit 4 outside mobile in room 2 so that via transmissive portions 23 to room 2 within base Plate 10 irradiation ultraviolet radiation.As noted previously, as the side of sidewall portion in the +Y direction side of gate frame 54 is provided with cooling end 6, therefore, exist In moving step, make cooling end 6 and illumination unit 4 together outside mobile in room 2.
In moving step, make illumination unit 4 at the -X direction end (one end) of a pair of guide rails 51 and +X direction end (other end) Between move back and forth.For example, in the top view of Fig. 3, make illumination unit 4 from the region at the -X direction end beyond room 2 to beyond room 2 The region at +X direction end move back and forth.
It should be noted that ultraviolet irradiation method of the present embodiment includes gas supplying step.
Herein, gas supplying step be equivalent to above described in " oxygen concentration regulating step " and " dew point regulating step ".
