The description light beam LB for being irradiated in bending mirror 84 from scanner 83 is bent the reflection of mirror 84 and is irradiated in f- θ lens system 85.F- θ lens system 85 includes telecentricity f- θ lens, makes the description light beam reflected through bending mirror 84 from polygonal rotating mirror 97 LB is vertically projeced into the description face of substrate P.
As shown in fig. 7, multiple multiple scanners 83 described in module UW1~UW5 are relative to median plane p3 at bilateral symmetry It constitutes.Multiple scanners 83,3 scanners 83 configuration corresponding with module UW1, UW3, UW5 is described is rotor DR's Direction of rotation upstream side (the -X direction side of Fig. 7), 2 scanners 83 corresponding with module UW2, UW4 is described, which then configure, to be rotated The direction of rotation downstream side (the +X direction side of Fig. 7) of cylinder DR.And 2 scannings of 3 scanners 83 of upstream side and downstream side It is oppositely disposed that device 83 clips median plane p3.At this point, each scanner 83 for being configured at upstream side and each scanning for being configured at downstream side It is oppositely disposed that device 83 clips median plane p3.Furthermore 3 polygonal rotating mirrors 97 of upstream side, on one side in XY to the left (counterclockwise) Rotation, light beam LB is described in scanning on one side, is projeced into each point light of odd number described on line LL1, LL3, LL5 whereby, i.e., from retouching Starting position is drawn to scan towards description end position toward set scanning direction (such as +Y direction of Fig. 7).On the other hand, work as downstream 2 polygonal rotating mirrors 97 of side on one side in XY to the right it is (clockwise) rotation, while scan description light beam LB, be projeced into idol whereby The several numbers each point light described on line LL2, LL4, i.e., from starting position is described towards description end position, past 3 with upstream side Item describes line LL1, LL3, LL5 same scan direction (+Y direction) scanning.
Herein, when observing in the face XZ of Fig. 4, describe the description light that module UW1, UW3, UW5 reach substrate P from odd number The axis of beam LB, with the setting consistent direction rhumb line Le1.That is, setting rhumb line Le1 links odd number in the face XZ Number describe line LL1, LL3, LL5 and rotation centerline AX2 line.Likewise, being retouched when being observed in the face XZ of Fig. 4 from even number The axis that module UW2, UW4 reaches the description light beam LB of substrate P is drawn, with the setting consistent direction rhumb line Le2.That is, Rhumb line Le2 is set, and in the face XZ, connection even number describes the line of line LL2, LL4 and rotation centerline AX2.
Y multiplying power amendment optical component 86 will be born in cylindrical lens of the Y-direction with positive refracting power with having in Y-direction The cylindrical lens person of being composed of refracting power configures between f- θ lens system 85 and substrate P.By making to constitute the amendment of Y multiplying power With at least one fine motion of multiple cylindrical lenses of optical component 86 in the optical axis (axis for describing light beam LB) of f- θ lens system 85 Direction, and the description line LL1~LL5 formed with each description module UW1~UW5 can be made, in Y-direction, the amplification a little of the side of grade or It reduces.
The drawing apparatus 11 constituted by this method controls each portion in describing predetermined pattern in substrate P by control device 16.? That is control device 16, during the description light beam LB for being projeced into substrate P is scanned toward scanning direction in, according to wait describe In CAD (Computer Aided Design) information of the pattern of substrate P, by carrying out ON/OFF modulation to light deflector 81 Make to describe light beam LB accordingly and be biased to, in depicting pattern on the photoinduction layer of substrate P.Also, control device 16 makes along description line The scanning direction (scanning start time point) of the descriptions light beam LB of LL1 scanning and substrate P are removed by the way that the rotation of rotor DR is past The mobile synchronization in direction is sent, predetermined pattern is described in the corresponding part for describing line LL1 in the A7 of exposure area accordingly.
At this point, the virtual size of the point light by the description light beam LB projected from each description module UW1~UW5 in substrate P (point diameter) is set as D (μm), when by being set as Vp (μm/second) along the scanning speed for the point light for describing line LL1~LL5, light supply apparatus The luminous cycle T repeatedly (second) for the laser light source for projecting pulsed light is set as T < D < Vp relationship by CNT.In addition, so-called light Virtual size (diameter) is the width (half value overall with) or phase of half value relative to peak value of the light main scanning direction in intensity distribution It is 1/e to peak value2Intensity width.
Secondly, illustrating aligming microscope AM1, AM2 as pattern detection portion referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 8.Aligming microscope AM1, AM2 detect the alignment mark being previously formed in substrate P in set viewing area or are formed on rotor DR Reference mark and reference pattern etc..Hereinafter, by the reference mark and reference pattern of the alignment mark of substrate P and rotor DR, It is referred to simply as marking.Aligming microscope AM1, AM2 are used to carry out the position pair of substrate P with the predetermined pattern being depicted in substrate P It (is aligned) together or the calibration of rotor DR and drawing apparatus 11.
Aligming microscope AM1, AM2 are arranged compared with the description line LL1~LL5 formed with drawing apparatus 11 in rotor DR Direction of rotation upstream side.Also, aligming microscope AM1 is configured on the direction of rotation of rotor DR compared with aligming microscope AM2 Swim side.
Aligming microscope AM1, AM2, by illumination light is projeced into substrate P or rotor DR and is injected in label generation Light as detection probe to object lens system GA and will transmit through to the picture of the label of object lens system GA light (bright visual field picture, Dark field picture, fluorescent picture etc.) it with the photography that two-dimensional CCD, CMOS etc. are shot is that GD etc. is constituted.Also, to mutatis mutandis illumination light It is the light of wavelength band domain that hardly there is sensitivity to the photoinduction layer in substrate P, the light of such as 500~800nm of wavelength degree.
Aligming microscope AM1 is in line in Y-direction (width direction of substrate P) equipped with multiple (such as 3).Equally , aligming microscope AM2 is in line in Y-direction (width direction of substrate P) equipped with multiple (such as 3).That is, right Quasi- microscope AM1, AM2 are total to be equipped with 6.
It is it can be readily appreciated that showing 3 alignments in each couple of object lens system GA of 6 aligming microscopes AM1, AM2 in Fig. 3 The configuration of each couple of object lens system GA1~GA3 of microscope AM1.Each couple of object lens system GA1~GA3 of 3 aligming microscope AM1 To viewing area (detection position) Vw1~Vw3 on substrate P (or outer peripheral surface of rotor DR), as shown in figure 3, with rotation Turn the parallel Y-direction of center line AX2, is configured with predetermined distance.As shown in figure 8, passing through the center each viewing area Vw1~Vw3 Optical axis L a1~La3 of each couple of object lens system GA1~GA3, it is all parallel with the face XZ.Likewise, 3 aligming microscope AM2's is each right Object lens system GA to viewing area Vw4~Vw6 on substrate P (or outer peripheral surface of rotor DR), as shown in figure 3, with rotation Turn the parallel Y-direction of center line AX2, is configured with predetermined distance.As shown in figure 8, passing through the center each viewing area Vw4~Vw6 Optical axis L a4~La6 of each couple of object lens system GA, it is also all parallel with the face XZ.And viewing area Vw1~Vw3 and viewing area Vw4~ Vw6 is configured in the direction of rotation of rotor DR with predetermined distance.
This aligming microscope AM1, AM2 is to viewing area Vw1~Vw6 of label, in substrate P and rotor DR, example Such as it is set in the range of 200 μm of diagonal degree.Herein, optical axis L a1~La3 of aligming microscope AM1 that is, to object lens system GA Optical axis L a1~La3, be set to extended from rotation centerline AX2 rotor DR diameter direction setting rhumb line Le3 The same direction.That is, setting rhumb line Le3 links the observation area of aligming microscope AM1 when observing in the face XZ of Fig. 4 The line of domain Vw1~Vw3 and rotation centerline AX2.Likewise, optical axis L a4~La6 of aligming microscope AM2 that is, to object lens It is optical axis L a4~La6 of GA, is set to the setting orientation with the diameter direction for extending rotor DR from rotation centerline AX2 The line Le4 same direction.That is, setting rhumb line Le4, when being observed in the face XZ of Fig. 4, connection aligming microscope AM2's The line of viewing area Vw4~Vw6 and rotation centerline AX2.At this point, aligming microscope AM1 with aligming microscope AM2 due to comparing System's configuration is in the direction of rotation upstream side of rotor DR, therefore median plane p3 and setting rhumb line Le3 angulation, relatively in Heart face p3 and setting rhumb line Le4 angulation are big.
In in substrate P, as shown in figure 3, describing the exposure area A7 of each description of line LL1~LL5 with 5, in X-direction Predetermined distance configuration.Around the exposure area A7 in substrate P, there are multiple alignment marks to carry out position alignment Ks1~Ks3 (is hereinafter referred to as marked), for example formed as crosswise.It is each to describe module, though according to aligming microscope AM1, AM2 couple The testing result of alignment mark Ks1~Ks2, it is specific to go out to be aligned (amendment) to the position in the substrate P of depicting pattern and put light Main scanning direction, but contraposition is not limited to this.For example, can also detect to be formed in substrate P by aligming microscope AM1, AM2 It is aligned after a part of shape of circuit pattern etc..
In Fig. 3, marks-Y side peripheral areas of the Ks1 in exposure area A7 to be arranged at certain intervals in X-direction, mark Ks3 In exposure area, the+Y side peripheral areas of A7 is arranged at certain intervals in X-direction.Further, Ks2 is marked, it is adjacent in X-direction 2 exposure area A7 between white space in, be located at the center of Y-direction.
Ks1 is marked, in the viewing area Vw1 to object lens system GA1 of aligming microscope AM1 and aligming microscope In the viewing area Vw4 to object lens system GA of AM2, the mode that can be sequentially captured during the conveying of substrate P is formed.Also, Mark Ks3, in the viewing area Vw3 to object lens system GA3 of aligming microscope AM1 and aligming microscope AM2 to object In the viewing area Vw6 of lens system GA, the mode that can be sequentially captured during the conveying of substrate P is formed.Further, it marks Ks2, with respectively in the viewing area Vw2 to object lens system GA2 of aligming microscope AM1 and aligming microscope AM2 to object In the viewing area Vw5 of lens system GA, the mode sequentially captured during the conveying of substrate P is formed.
Therefore, the aligming microscope AM1 of the Y-direction two sides of the rotor DR in 3 aligming microscopes AM1, AM2, AM2 can observe or detect at any time label Ks1, the Ks3 for being formed in the width direction two sides of substrate P.In addition, 3 aligming microscopes Aligming microscope AM1, the AM2 in the Y-direction center of the rotor DR in AM1, AM2 can be observed or be detected to be formed in and retouch at any time It is plotted in the label Ks2 of the strip direction gutter of exposure area A7 to each other in substrate P etc..
Herein, exposure device EX is due to being applicable in so-called Multibeam drawing apparatus 11, in order to be retouched with multiple Each description line LL1~LL5 of module UW1~UW5 is drawn to be subject in Y-direction is appropriate each other in the multiple patterns described in substrate P Engagement is necessary multiple joining accuracies for describing module UW1~UW5 are inhibited the calibration in permissible range.In addition, Viewing area Vw1~the Vw6 of aligming microscope AM1, AM2 to multiple each description line LL1~LL5 for describing module UW1~UW5 Relative positional relationship must be subject to accurate find out with benchmark wire management.To carry out this benchmark wire management, must also calibrate.
In to confirm it is multiple describe module UW1~UW5 joining accuracies calibration, to carry out aligming microscope AM1, It, must be at least one setting reference mark of the rotor DR outer peripheral surface of supporting substrates P in the calibration of the benchmark wire management of AM2 Or reference pattern.Therefore, as shown in figure 9, in exposure device EX, the rotation that reference mark or reference pattern are equipped in outer peripheral surface is used Turn cylinder DR.
Rotor DR is formed with a part for constituting aftermentioned rotation position testing agency 14 in two end sides of its outer peripheral surface Scale portion GPa, GPb.Also, rotor DR, in the inside of scale portion GPa, GPb, carves and be equipped with by concave groove or convex in complete cycle Narrow restriction band CLa, CLb of the width that shape edge is constituted.The Y-direction width of substrate P be set to compared with 2 restriction band CLa, The Y-direction interval of CLb is small, and substrate P is close in the outer peripheral surface of rotor DR with inside region folded by restriction band CLa, CLb And it is supported.
Rotor DR is equipped with relative rotation center line AX2 with outer peripheral surface folded by restriction band CLa, CLb with+45 Inclined multiple line pattern RL1 and relative rotation center line AX2 are spent with -45 inclined multiple line pattern RL2 of degree between certain The latticed reference pattern set is repeatedly carved away from (period) Pf1, Pf2, and RMP (is also marked) on the basis of.As an example, line The line width LW of pattern RL1 and line pattern RL2 is set as several μm~20 μm degree, and spacing (period), Pf1, Pf2 were set as tens of μm ~hundreds of μm of degree.
Reference pattern RMP, to avoid generating frictional force or substrate in substrate P and the contact portion of rotor DR outer peripheral surface The variation of the tension of P etc., comprehensive uniform skewing scheme case (oblique lattice-shaped pattern).Also, line pattern RL1, RL2 be not necessarily required to be 45 degree of inclination, can also be that line pattern RL1 is made to, line pattern RL2 parallel with Y-axis to be made the grid in length and breadth parallel with X-axis Shape pattern.In addition, line pattern RL1, RL2 must not necessarily intersected with 90 degree, can also make adjacent 2 bar chart case RL1 with it is adjacent The rectangular area that is surrounded 2 bar chart case RL2, make line pattern to become the angle of the diamond shape other than square (or rectangle) RL1, RL2 intersect.
Secondly, illustrating rotation position testing agency 14 referring to Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. 8.As shown in figure 8, rotation position detection machine Structure 14 detects the object of the rotation position of rotor DR, the applicable encoder such as using rotary encoder optically System.Rotation position testing agency 14 have be located at the both ends rotor DR scale portion GPa, GPb and with scale portion Multiple encoder head EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4 of each opposite direction of GPa, GPb.In Fig. 4 and Fig. 8, though only display and scale portion 4 encoder heads EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4 of GPa opposite direction, but also similarly have oppositely disposed encoder in scale portion GPb Read head EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4.
Scale portion GPa, GPb is respectively formed as ring-type in the outer peripheral surface circumferential direction entirety of rotor DR.Scale portion GPa, GPb lie in the outer peripheral surface circumferential direction of rotor DR carved with a fixed spacing (such as 20 μm) set grid line concavely or convexly around Grating is penetrated, incremental (incremental) type scale is configured to.In the occasion of this implementation form, the grid line of scale portion GPa, GPb (scale) by then passing through the device processed to the surface rotor DR, (pattern quarter is set with reference pattern RMP shown in Fig. 9 Machine etc.) it is formed simultaneously, therefore unique positional relationship can be made with micron grade.In addition, in scale portion GPa, GPb circumferential direction At one and be equipped with origin mark, encoder head EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4 it is each have detect that the origin is marked and exported The function of origin signal.Therefore to origin label also in reference pattern RMP, circumferential direction to be that unique positional relationship is (known Angular position relative).
Substrate P, scale portion GPa, the GPb for avoiding the both ends rotor DR inside that is, wound on restriction band CLa, The inside of CLb.If there must be stringent configuration relation, the outer peripheral surface of scale portion GPa, GPb are set and wound on rotor DR Substrate P part outer peripheral surface at the same face (away from the same Radius of center line AX2).To reach this, by scale portion GPa, GPb Outer peripheral surface, the substrate winding outer peripheral surface of relative rotation cylinder DR, is made in the amount of thickness of the high substrate P in diameter direction.Therefore, The outer peripheral surface that can will be formed in scale portion GPa, GPb of rotor DR is set as and the substantially same half of the outer peripheral surface of substrate P Diameter.To which encoder head EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4 can be identical as the description face in the substrate P for being wound in rotor DR Diameter direction position detection scale portion GPa, GPb, contract measurement position are generated with processing position because the diameter direction of rotation system is different Abbe error.In addition, also may be used when scale portion GPa, GPb can not be formed directly into the situation at the both ends rotor DR The scale for being equipped with scale portion GPa (GPb) will be being carved with the disc-shaped component outer peripheral surface of rotor DR diameter roughly the same diameter Disk is coaxially installed on the axle portion Sf2 of rotor DR.
Encoder head EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4 are arranged respectively at scale portion GPa, GPb from rotation centerline AX2 Around, in the different location of the circumferential direction of rotor DR.This encoder head EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4 are connected to control dress Set 16.Encoder head EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4 project measurement light beam towards scale portion GPa, GPb, to its reflected beams (diffraction Light) carry out Photoelectric Detection, accordingly will corresponding scale portion GPa, GPb circumferential direction change in location detection signal (such as with 90 Spend 2 phase signals of phase difference) it exports to control device 16.Control device 16, by the detection signal with counting (not shown) Circuit be subject to interpolation carry out digital processing, can with the capacity of decomposition of secondary micron measure rotor DR angle change that is, Measure the circumferential direction change in location of its outer peripheral surface.At this point, control device 16, also can measure base from the angle change of rotor DR Conveying speed of the plate P in rotor DR.
Also, as shown in Figures 4 and 8, encoder head EN1 configuration is on setting rhumb line Le1.Rhumb line Le1 is set, in It is the measurement light beam of link encoder read head EN1 to the projected area (reading position) on scale portion GPa (GPb) in the face XZ With the line of rotation centerline AX2.Also, as described above, setting rhumb line Le1, in the face XZ, for connection describe line LL1, LL3, The line of LL5 and rotation centerline AX2.As known from the above, the reading position of link encoder read head EN1 and rotation centerline AX2 Line, to describe the line of line LL1, LL3, LL5 and rotation centerline AX2 with connection be same orientation line (when from central axis AX2 For same orientation).
Likewise, as shown in Figures 4 and 8, encoder head EN2 configuration is on setting rhumb line Le2.Rhumb line is set Le2 (reads the projected area on scale portion GPa (GPb) in the measurement light beam in the face XZ, being link encoder read head EN2 Position) with the line of rotation centerline AX2.Also, as described above, setting rhumb line Le2, in the face XZ, for connection describe line LL2, The line of LL4 and rotation centerline AX2.As known from the above, the reading position of link encoder read head EN2 and rotation centerline AX2 Line, to describe with connection the line of line LL2, LL4 and rotation centerline AX2 be same orientation line (from central axis AX2 Shi Weixiang Same orientation).
Also, as shown in Figures 4 and 8, encoder head EN3 configuration is on setting rhumb line Le3.Rhumb line Le3 is set, in It is the measurement light beam of link encoder read head EN3 to the projected area (reading position) on scale portion GPa (GPb) in the face XZ With the line of rotation centerline AX2.Also, as described above, setting rhumb line Le3, in the face XZ, for AM1 pairs of aligming microscope of connection The line of the viewing area Vw1~Vw3 and rotation centerline AX2 of substrate P.As known from the above, the reading of link encoder read head EN3 The line of position and rotation centerline AX2, viewing area Vw1~Vw3 and rotation centerline AX2 with connection aligming microscope AM1 Line, be same orientation line (being same orientation when from central axis AX2).By such composition, from Pivot axle AX2 When the direction observation of extension, the measured zone of the encoder head EN3 on scale portion GPa, GPb is with aligming microscope AM1's Viewing area Vw1~Vw3 is same position in the circumferential direction of rotor DR.
Likewise, as shown in Figures 4 and 8, encoder head EN4 configuration is on setting rhumb line Le4.Rhumb line is set Le4 (reads the projected area on scale portion GPa (GPb) in the measurement light beam in the face XZ, being link encoder read head EN4 Position) with the line of rotation centerline AX2.Also, as described above, setting rhumb line Le4, in the face XZ, to link aligming microscope Line of the AM2 to the viewing area Vw4~Vw6 and rotation centerline AX2 of substrate P.As known from the above, link encoder read head EN4 Reading position and rotation centerline AX2 line, with connection aligming microscope AM2 viewing area Vw4~Vw6 and rotation center The line of line AX2 is same orientation line (being same orientation when from central axis AX2).By such composition, from rotation center When the direction observation that axis AX2 extends, the measured zone and aligming microscope of the encoder head EN4 on scale portion GPa, GPb Viewing area Vw4~Vw6 of AM2 is same position in the circumferential direction of rotor DR.
By the setting orientation of encoder head EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4 (centered on rotation centerline AX2 in the face XZ Angle direction) situation that rhumb line Le1, Le2, Le3, Le4 are indicated is arranged when, as shown in figure 4, by multiple description modules It is ± θ ° angled with respect to median plane p3 that UW1~UW5 and encoder head EN1, EN2 are configured to setting rhumb line Le1, Le2.
Herein, control device 16, according to the scale portion (rotational circle of encoder head EN1, EN2 and counting circuit detection Cylinder DR) rotary angle position of GPa, GPb that is, circumferential direction shift position or the amount of movement of rotor DR outer peripheral surface, control Describe the description starting position of module UW1~UW5 using odd number and even number.That is, control device 16, is being projeced into The description light beam LB of substrate P toward scanning direction scan during in, according to the CAD information of the pattern of substrate P to be depicted in carry out The ON/OFF modulation of light deflector 81, but can will also use the ON/OFF modulation of the CAD information of 1 scanning amount of light deflector 81 At the beginning of sequence, carried out according to rotary angle position detected, whereby can on the photoinduction layer of substrate P with good accuracy Depicting pattern.
Also, control device 16, can by store with aligming microscope AM1, AM2 detect alignment mark Ks1 in substrate P~ When Ks3, with the rotary angle position of scale portion GPa, GPb (rotor DR) of encoder head EN3, EN4 detection, it can find out The corresponding relationship of the rotary angle position of the position and rotor DR of alignment mark Ks1~Ks3 in substrate P.Likewise, control Device 16 processed, when detecting the reference pattern RMP on rotor DR by storing with aligming microscope AM1, AM2, with encoder The rotary angle position of scale portion GPa, GPb (rotor DR) of read head EN3, EN4 detection, can find out on rotor DR The corresponding relationship of the rotary angle position of the position and rotor DR of reference pattern RMP.As previously discussed, aligming microscope AM1, AM2, measurement that can be accurate are sampled (sampling) to reference mark or label in viewing area Vw1~Vw6 The rotary angle position (or circumferential direction position) of the rotor DR of moment.In exposure device EX, i.e., according to this measurement result, into Row substrate P and the contraposition (alignment) of predetermined pattern being depicted in substrate P or each description of rotor DR and drawing apparatus 11 The calibration of the positional relationship of description line LL1~LL5 of module UW1~UW5.
In addition, the exposure device EX of Multibeam, on one side by substrate P conveying in conveyance direction, while along in substrate P The point light of light beam LB is described in a plurality of description line LL1~LL5, scanning.Herein, along the description light of each description line LL1~LL5 scanning The scanning direction of beam LB is the same direction, in addition, is set to and median plane p3 (central axis in each each line for describing line LL1~LL5 AX2) when critically parallel situation, pattern P T1~PT5 in substrate P is respectively formed in by a plurality of description line LL1~LL5 As pattern as shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10 is the pattern that will be depicted on substrate by the exposure device of the 1st implementation form and the configuration relation for describing line An example exaggerate display figure.In addition, due to the figure after the conveyance direction of substrate P (direction Xs) expansion, being Xs in Figure 10 Direction, Y-direction and the orthogonal orthogonal coordinate system of Z-direction.Also, describing line LL1~LL5 and pattern in Figure 10 in order to be readily understood by The relationship of PT1~PT5 will describe line LL1~LL5 and pattern P T1~PT5 overstriking in the conveyance direction of substrate P.
As shown in Figure 10, from it is multiple describe module UW1~UW5 it is each be projected to substrate P description light beam LB point light, Along line LL1~LL5 is described, from describing, starting position PO1 is past to describe end position PO2 scanning in +Y direction.At this point, describing light The point light of beam LB is the same direction along the scanning direction for describing line LL1~LL5 scanning.Therefore, in the conveying from substrate P When direction Xs is watched, the end PTa of pattern P T1~PT5 that is formed in the descriptions starting position PO1 for describing line LL1~LL5 and The end PTb of the pattern P T1~PT5 formed in the description end position PO2 for describing line LL1~LL5, in substrate P width The adjacent pattern P T1~PT5 in direction is adjacent one another.
Herein, the pattern P T1~PT5 for being formed in substrate P when the point light for describing light beam LB is to substrate P run-down, Since substrate P is transported in conveyance direction by constant speed, be formed as tilting slightly.Though its tilt quantity exaggerates display in Figure 10, But it is indicated with the ratio Vxs/Vp of the conveying speed Vxs of substrate P and the scan velocity V p for the point light for describing light beam LB.Scanning speed Vp is directly proportional to rotation speed Rv (rps) of polygonal rotating mirror 97 as scanner 83, such as in the anti-of polygonal rotating mirror 97 Penetrating face is 8 faces, is 40% during the essence scanning of each reflecting surface, when the length for describing line (LL1~LL5) is YL (mm), puts light Scan velocity V p (mm/S) found out by following formula:
Vp=(8RvYL)/0.4=20RvYL (mm/S)
If polygonal rotating mirror 97 is every point 6000 turns (rotation speed Rv=100rps), length YL is 50mm, then scans speed Degree Vp is 100,000 mm/S.If the conveying speed Vxs of substrate P is 50mm/S, the tilt quantity Vxs/Vp of the description line in substrate P It is 1/2000.This tilt quantity refers to the Y-direction both ends (describe starting point PO1 and describe end point PO2) for describing line in substrate P It is staggered 25 μm of the meaning toward the direction Xs.Certainly, as long as improving the rotation speed Rv of polygonal rotating mirror 97 and making the conveying speed of substrate P Spending Vxs reduces, then the tilt quantity Vxs/Vp for describing line can be made smaller, but in order to make the Y-direction both ends for describing line (describe starting point PO1 becomes several points of a degree of the minimum feature to depicting pattern with offset of the description end point PO2) in the direction Xs, needs So that the rotation speed Rv of polygonal rotating mirror 97 is become several times or more while the conveying speed Vxs of substrate P is greatly reduced.Also that is, The end PTa for describing pattern P T1~PT5 that starting position PO1 is formed for describing line LL1~LL5, compared in description line LL1~LL5 Describe end position PO2 formed pattern P T1~PT5 end PTb, be formed in the further downstream of conveyance direction.Therefore, scheme The end PTa and end PTb of case PT1~PT5 can become different location in conveyance direction.Under this situation, in the width of substrate P Pattern P T1~PT5 that direction engages can generate each other the engagement mistake in conveyance direction in adjacent pattern P T1~PT5 Difference.
It is fast in the scanning of main scanning direction in the point light for describing light beam LB such as above-mentioned, the bonding error of pattern P T1~PT5 When degree Vp is certain situation, describe inclination of the line LL1~LL5 relative to substrate P width direction, does not become and substrate P transports Speed it is corresponding inclination and generate.Herein, describe inclination of the line LL1~LL5 relative to substrate P width direction, exposing respectively It is adjusted when description before the description of device EX with exposure device EX.
Specifically, exposure device EX is before the description of exposure device EX (such as when alignment) with preset benchmark Reference speed (Vxs) transport substrate P.At this point, reference speed, there is the occasion suitably changed in response to the substrate P used.Such as In the low occasion of the sensitivity for the photoinduction layer for being coated on substrate P, also there is the main scanning that reduces reference speed and will carry out with light Repeatedly to increase the situation of light exposure.Therefore, in order to the substrate transported with reference speed, by pattern P T1~PT5 in base Plate P width direction very suitably engages, and because of the reference speed of reply substrate P setting, is adjusted to describe line LL1~LL5 phase Median plane p3 (central axis AX2) is suitably tilted.
Also, in the description movement of exposure device EX progress, though by the rotation drive control of rotor DR at substrate P Transporting speed becomes reference speed, but at this point, sometimes because of the construction (bearing characteristics) of the rotary shaft bearing portion of rotor DR or Rotary drive mechanism (torque factor, characteristic of reduction gearing of motor etc.), make the conveying speed of the substrate P transported in response in The swing circle of rotor DR and change speed slightly from reference speed.Also that is, removing by the rotor DR substrate P transported Send speed that can periodically generate speed unevenness.Therefore making pattern in order to the substrate P from reference speed slight variations speed PT1~PT5 is very suitably engaged in substrate P width direction, and composable substrate P of following transports the variation of speed and makes to describe Dynamically (active) is inclined constitutes (control system) for each line of line LL1~LL5.
Secondly, 1 illustrating to describe inclined adjustment of the line LL1~LL5 relative to substrate P width direction referring to Fig.1.Figure 11 is aobvious Show the figure of the pattern being depicted on substrate by the exposure device of the 1st implementation form and the configuration relation an example for describing line.1st The exposure device EX of implementation form is to rotate the 2nd optical platform 25 relative to the 1st optical platform 23 with rotating mechanism 24, by This keeps description line LL1~LL5 integral inclined relative to substrate P width direction.Also that is, rotating mechanism 24, which plays adjustment, describes line The inclined tilt adjusting mechanism function of LL1~LL5.
Rotating mechanism 24, by rotating the 2nd optical platform 25 relative to the 1st optical platform 23, and in rotary shaft I being The heart rotates drawing apparatus 11 relative to substrate P.After drawing apparatus 11 is rotated centered on rotary shaft I, description line LL1~ LL5, mutual position relationship and opposing substrate P width direction are (also that is, the rotation centerline AX2 of rotor DR Or median plane p3) inclination.
Herein, illustrate in the alignment of exposure device EX to the substrate P transported with reference speed by pattern P T1~PT5 in The tilt adjustments of description line LL1~LL5 when substrate P width direction engages.As shown in figure 11, control device 16, according to The reference speed for the substrate P that rotation position testing agency 14 is detected rotates rotating mechanism 24.Herein, the reference speed of substrate P, Corresponding relationship is established with the rotation amount of rotating mechanism 24.This rotation amount exists for the end PTa and end PTb of pattern P T1~PT5 Conveyance direction can become the rotation that the rotation amount of same position that is, pattern P T1~PT5 can be formed along substrate P width direction It measures (tilt quantity).Also that is, control device 16, is according to the rotation amount for establishing corresponding relationship with detected substrate P reference speed Rotate rotating mechanism 24.Specifically, control device 16, when being formed with pattern P T1~PT5 shown in Fig. 10, according to base The reference speed of plate P rotates rotating mechanism 24, is located at conveying side whereby with the description starting position PO1 for describing line LL1~LL5 To the upstream side, the description end position PO2 of description line LL1~LL5 is located at the mode in the downstream side of conveyance direction, opposing substrate P Rotate drawing apparatus 11.
As shown in figure 11, do not change the mutual alignment relation for describing line LL1~LL5 and made to describe line by rotating mechanism 24 After LL1~LL5 is integrally tilted, the description line LL1 of side apart from each other and description line LL5 with rotary shaft I, in conveyance direction Amount of movement becomes larger, and on the other hand, is closer to the description line LL3 of the side of rotary shaft I, becomes smaller in the amount of movement of conveyance direction.Also that is, Describe line LL1 substantially to move toward the upstream side of conveyance direction, and describes line LL2 and then moved slightly toward the upstream side of conveyance direction. Describe line LL3 substantially without the movement in conveyance direction.Describe line LL4 to move slightly toward the downstream side of conveyance direction, describes line LL5 is substantially moved toward the downstream side of conveyance direction.Therefore, the description after being rotated by rotating mechanism 24 (after tilt correction) Line LL1~LL5 and be depicted in each pattern P T1~PT5 in substrate P, as shown in the dotted line of Figure 11, be formed as wide with substrate P Direction substantially common direction is spent without inclination.
On the other hand, each pattern P T1~PT5 exposed (after tilt correction) after rotation, in the conveyance direction of substrate P, phase It should being formed slopely in slightly different position in description line LL1~LL5.Also that is, pattern P T5 opposed patterns PT4 is formed in and removes The downstream side in direction is sent, pattern P T4 opposed patterns PT3 is formed in the downstream side of conveyance direction, pattern P T3 opposed patterns PT2 shape At in the downstream side of conveyance direction, pattern P T2 opposed patterns PT1 is formed in the downstream side of conveyance direction.As above-mentioned, with rotation When the situation for rotating drawing apparatus 11 by rotating mechanism 24 centered on axis I, because postrotational pattern P T1~PT5 is being transported The position in direction is different, will lead to postrotational pattern P T1~PT5 in conveyance direction and generates intended offset amount.Therefore, control dress 16 are set, according to the reference speed of the substrate P detected with rotation position testing agency 14, controls retouching for each description module UW1~UW5 Time point is drawn, corrects postrotational pattern P T1~PT5 whereby in the position of conveyance direction.Also that is, the reference speed of substrate P also with The correction amount for describing time point establishes corresponding relationship.Herein, control device 16 will be in order to be depicted in base in order to correct description time point Plate P and the CAD information used is corrected in conveyance direction.
Figure 12 is shown in the figure of the image of CAD information used in the exposure device of the 1st implementation form.In addition, Figure 12 In, as the CAD information of the pattern wait be depicted in substrate P, diagram has CAD diagram corresponding with pattern P T1~PT5 shown in Figure 11 Case CAD1~CAD5.Also, the CAD diagram before amendment with CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD5 shown in dotted line, to describe time point of Figure 12 Case (initial data in design) CAD1~CAD5, Figure 12 with CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD5 shown in solid, to describe time point Revised CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD5.
As shown in dotted lines in Figure 12, CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD5's before amendment is each, in order to with substrate to be depicted in The identical configuration of pattern P T1~PT5 on P is described and is deposited in the memory circuit for describing the data (bit patterns), in base It is same position in the conveyance direction of plate P.Therefore, CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD5 before amendment, along the width direction of substrate P Configuration is in a row.
Control device 16, CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD5 before this is corrected, with postrotational pattern P T1 shown in Figure 11 The side for conjunction that~PT5 becomes the mode of same position in conveyance direction that is, the end PTa of pattern P T1~PT5, PTb adjoin one another Formula is corrected CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD4 in conveyance direction using CAD diagram case CAD5 as benchmark.Also that is, control device 16, it is shown in solid such as Figure 12, corresponding to pattern P T1~PT5 after being rotated shown in Figure 11 conveyance direction position offset, The each of CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD5 before amendment is corrected in conveyance direction.The amendment, such as by will be from memory Circuit read successively CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD5 before amendment it is respective describe the data point at the beginning of (bit patterns) be staggered into Row.
In addition, offset of the pattern P T1~PT5 shown in dotted line with Figure 11 in conveyance direction, due to as above with The conveying speed of substrate P establishes corresponding relationship, therefore control device 16 carries out CAD diagram case CAD1 according to the conveying speed of substrate P Amendment of~the CAD5 in conveyance direction (reading described the data starts being staggered for time point).In revised CAD information, CAD Pattern CAD5 is located at the upstream side of conveyance direction, the position with respect to CAD diagram case CAD3 CAD diagram case CAD4 with respect to CAD diagram case CAD4 In the upstream side of conveyance direction, CAD diagram case CAD3 is located at the upstream side of conveyance direction, CAD diagram case with respect to CAD diagram case CAD2 CAD2 is located at the upstream side of conveyance direction with respect to CAD diagram case CAD1.In addition, control device 16, though using CAD diagram case CAD5 as base Quasi- amendment other CAD diagrams case CAD1~CAD4, but can be also modified on the basis of other CAD diagram case CAD1~4.
In this way, control device 16, in the alignment of exposure device EX, with the base detected with rotation position testing agency 14 The conveying speed of plate P correspondingly, amendment with CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD5 shown in solid of Figure 12 in the position of conveyance direction, Whereby can as Figure 11 pattern P T1~PT5 shown in solid and be depicted in substrate P.
In addition, the inclined adjustment of description line LL1~LL5 in the alignment of exposure device EX, it can be by making to rotate manually Mechanism 24 rotates, and also can be allowed to rotate with control device 16 drive control rotating mechanism 24.
Secondly, explanation is in the description of exposure device EX, to from reference speed due to speed unevenness speed only slight variations And the substrate P transported simultaneously, by description line LL1~LL5 of the pattern P T1~PT5 when width direction of substrate P engages Tilt adjustments.As shown in figure 11, rotating mechanism 24, to the substrate P transported with reference speed, make to describe line LL1~LL5 relative to Substrate P width direction tilts given degree, whereby very suitably engages pattern P T1~PT5 in substrate P width direction.
It is being formed in substrate P after transporting substrate P with the conveying speed fast compared with reference speed from state shown in Figure 11 Pattern P T1~PT5, be formed obliquely as shown in Figure 10.Also that is, the end PTa of pattern P T1~PT5, compared with pattern P T1~PT5 End PTb be formed in the further downstream of conveyance direction.On the other hand, it is removed in substrate P with the conveying speed slow compared with reference speed After sending, the pattern P T1~PT5 being formed in substrate P is inversely tilted (in Figure 10 past with pattern P T1~PT5 shown in Fig. 10 Bottom right inclination) it is formed.Also that is, the end PTa of pattern P T1~PT5, the end PTb compared with pattern P T1~PT5 are formed in conveying side To more upstream side.
Control device 16 becomes in the conveying speed of the substrate P detected with rotation position testing agency 14 compared with benchmark speed When spending fast, started with describing description of the description starting position PO1 compared with description line LL1~LL5 of reference speed of line LL1~LL5 Description of the description end position PO2 compared with reference speed that position PO1 is located at the more upstream side of conveyance direction, describes line LL1~LL5 The description end position PO2 of line LL1~LL5 is located at the mode of the further downstream of conveyance direction, rotates rotating mechanism 24, from figure It is whole further around rotating clockwise that 11 state makes to describe line LL1~LL5.Also, after rotating rotating mechanism 24, after rotation Pattern P T1~PT5 position can conveyance direction deviate at pattern P T1~PT4 is located at conveyance direction compared with pattern P T2~PT5 More upstream side.Therefore, control device 16, using the CAD information to be depicted in substrate P, with CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD4 compared with CAD diagram case CAD2~CAD5 is located at the mode of the further downstream of conveyance direction, corrects in conveyance direction and describes time point (from memory Circuit reads the reading described the data and starts time point).
On the other hand, control device 16, the substrate P detected with rotation position testing agency 14 conveying speed compared with base When Quasi velosity is slow, to describe the description for describing line LL1~LL5 for describing starting position PO1 compared with reference speed of line LL1~LL5 Starting position PO1 is located at the further downstream of conveyance direction, describes the description end position PO2 of line LL1~LL5 compared with reference speed The mode for the more upstream side that the description end position PO2 for describing line LL1~LL5 is located at conveyance direction rotates rotating mechanism 24. Also, the position of postrotational pattern P T1~PT5 can be deviated in conveyance direction into pattern P T1 after rotating rotating mechanism 24 ~PT4 is located at the further downstream of conveyance direction compared with pattern P T2~PT5.Therefore, control device 16, using to be depicted in substrate P CAD information, in such a way that CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD4 is located at the more upstream side of conveyance direction compared with CAD diagram case CAD2~CAD5, Time point (time point since memory circuit reads the reading described the data) is described in conveyance direction amendment.
Such as above-mentioned, control device 16, in the description of exposure device EX, even if substrate P is due to speed unevenness from benchmark speed It spends only slight variations speed and is transported simultaneously, it also can be according to the conveying speed and base detected with rotation position testing agency 14 The integral inclined of line LL1~LL5 is described in the difference of Quasi velosity, adjustment.Also, control device 16, by postrotational pattern P T1~ PT5 conveyance direction offset as correction amount, correcting CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD5, (amendment is retouched in the position of conveyance direction Draw and start time point), pattern P T1~PT5 can be depicted in substrate P with the state linearly linked in substrate P width direction whereby On.
In addition, the rotation amount of rotating mechanism 24, preferably finds out according to the reference speed of substrate P, conveying speed in advance.Together Sample, the correction amount of CAD information is also preferably found out according to the reference speed of substrate P, conveying speed in advance.In turn, it can also incite somebody to action The reference speed of substrate P, the displacement from reference speed, the correction amount conduct of the rotation amount of rotating mechanism 24, CAD information are established The related figure of correlativity is found out.Also, in amendment CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD5, in the position of conveyance direction, (amendment, which is described, is opened Beginning time point) when, according to encoder head EN1, EN2 (the rotation position testing agency of Fig. 4 or high de-agglomeration ability shown in Fig. 8 14) angle position (the conveying position of substrate P) of each rotor DR detected starts each description line LL1~LL5's Describe and (starts to describe the data from memory circuit access).Specifically, passing through rotating mechanism calculating with control device 16 The each description starting position PO1 and description end position of issuable pattern P T1~PT5 after the 24 rotation amendments carried out PO2 is created on after the offset of conveyance direction with encoder head EN1, each rotor DR's detected of EN2 Angle position adds the modified correction position information of ± Δ Xs of the corresponding offset.Then, according to the correction position information Start each description (starting to describe the data from memory circuit access) for describing line LL1~LL5.
More than, the 1st implementation form can pass through the conveying speed according to the substrate P detected with rotation position testing agency 14 Degree rotates the 2nd optical platform 25 with rotating mechanism 24, and can adjust the inclination for describing line LL1~LL5.Therefore, edge can be passed through Describe line LL1~LL5 scanning description light beam LB, the pattern P T1~PT5 that will be depicted in substrate P, along substrate P width Direction is linearly formed.Also, correcting CAD diagram case CAD1 after the rotation of the 2nd optical platform 25 carried out by rotating mechanism 24 The description time point of~CAD5, and the pattern P T1~PT5 being depicted in substrate P can be made to become identical in the conveyance direction of substrate P Position.Therefore due to that the pattern P T1~PT5 being depicted in substrate P can be modified in the width direction of substrate P and conveying side Very suitably engaged to (strip direction), thus can inhibit because speed it is uneven caused by bonding error.
Also, the 1st implementation form, can with the conveying speed of the substrate P detected with rotation position testing agency 14 correspondingly, Rotating mechanism 24 is rotated immediately by control device 16.Therefore, even if also can in the description carried out with exposure device EX Inclination of the line LL1~LL5 relative to substrate P width direction is described in adjustment, can also inhibit the cyclical velocity because of rotor DR Uneven and generation bonding error.
Also, the 1st implementation form makes when the conveying speed of substrate P is fast compared with reference speed relative to substrate P width direction Description line LL1~LL5, be inclined to compared with reference speed description line LL1~LL5 description starting position PO1 upstream side, And relatively describe the side farther downstream end position PO2, pattern PT1~PT5 can be very suitably corrected whereby.Also, removing in substrate P When sending speed slow compared with reference speed, makes description line LL1~LL5 relative to substrate P width direction, be inclined to compared with reference speed Describe the description starting position PO1 of line LL1~LL5 and side and relatively describes end position PO2 upstream side, and energy farther downstream Very suitably correct pattern PT1~PT5.
Also, the 1st implementation form, due to can be constituted comprising light deflector 81 and scanner 83 each description module UW1~ UW5, therefore description light beam LB can be scanned in one-dimensional square along line LL1~LL5 is described.
Also, the 1st implementation form, by rotating the drawing apparatus 11 for being set to the 2nd optical platform 25 with rotating mechanism 24, Whereby can on one side maintain to describe the mutual positional relationship of line LL1~LL5, while adjust all inclinations for describing line LL1~LL5. Therefore, control device 16, as long as controlling relevant composition can be made simply due to the rotation for controlling rotating mechanism 24 Composition.
Also, the 1st implementation form, in ruler of the description light beam LB that will be projected from each description module UW1~UW5 in substrate P Very little (point diameter) is set as D (μm), when will describe light beam LB and be set as Vp (μm/second) along the scanning speed for describing line LL1~LL5, light Source device CNT can make the luminous cycle T repeatedly (second) for the laser light source for projecting pulsed light be set as the relationship of T < D/Vp.Therefore, Since the point light for describing light beam LB can be made to repeat in substrate P on one side, light beam LB scanning will be described on one side in scanning direction, therefore During light deflector 81 is ON state, the description line for describing light beam LB is to depict as without interruption continuously in scanning direction Line.
In addition, by rotating the 2nd optical platform 25 with rotating mechanism 24, making 11 phase of drawing apparatus in the 1st implementation form Substrate P is rotated, and the inclination of line LL1~LL5 is described in the adjustment of opposing substrate P width direction.However, it's not limited to that structure At as long as relatively the inclination of line LL1~LL5 is described in adjustment relative to substrate P width direction.Also that is, exposure device EX, the composition that also the rotation centerline AX2 of rotor DR can be made to rotate in the face XY in the face XY centered on rotary shaft I. Under this situation, idler wheel RT1, RT2 (Fig. 1) before and after rotor DR can be at least configured at also in the transport path of substrate P The composition for being integrally formed and being rotated in the face XY centered on rotary shaft I.
[the 2nd implementation form]
Secondly, 3 to Figure 16 exposure device EX for illustrating the 2nd implementation form referring to Fig.1.In addition, being in the 2nd implementation form Avoid with the 1st duplicate record of implementation form, also have and be illustrated only for the part different from the 1st implementation form, to The identical constituent element of 1st implementation form assigns symbol identical with the 1st implementation form and the situation that omits the description.Figure 13 is shown The figure that a part of the f- θ lens system of the exposure device of 2nd implementation form is constituted.Figure 14 shows the f- θ lens system of Figure 13 The figure of the composition of cylindrical lens.Figure 15 shows the pattern being depicted on substrate by the exposure device of the 2nd implementation form and retouches The figure of configuration relation an example of line drawing.Figure 16 shows the pattern being depicted on substrate by the exposure device of the 2nd implementation form With the figure of the configuration relation an example for describing line.The exposure device EX of 1st implementation form, by making the 2nd optics with rotating mechanism 24 Platform 25 rotates, and the inclination for describing line LL1~LL5 is integrally adjusted.In contrast, the exposure device of the 2nd implementation form EX, individually the inclination of each line of line LL1~LL5 is described in adjustment.
In the exposure device EX of 2nd implementation form, as shown in figure 13, f- θ lens system 85 includes telecentricity f- θ lens 85a It is constituted with cylindrical lens 85b.In addition, it is saturating that telecentricity f- θ lens 85a and cylinder in f- θ lens system 85 is omitted in Figure 13 The diagram of other lenses other than mirror 85b.
Telecentricity f- θ lens 85a makes illuminated description light beam LB become directional light in the face XZ, in the Y direction (scanning side To) then become converging light.It is the description light beam LB of directional light in the face XZ, is irradiated toward cylindrical lens 85b.Cylindrical lens 85b is set Between telecentricity f- θ lens 85a and substrate P.Cylindrical lens 85b has and describes line LL1 (LL2~LL5 is also identical) extension The substantially parallel bus in scanning direction has set multiplying power (refracting power) in the direction orthogonal with bus and gathers light beam LB is described Light is at light.Also, as shown in figure 14, cylindrical lens 85b, in order to which each line for finely tuning description line LL1~LL5 is wide relative to substrate P It spends the inclination in direction and can be rotated centered on rotary shaft I1~I5.Rotary shaft I1~I5, comprising being formed in retouching in substrate P Rotary shaft centered on both pinpointing in the description face of line drawing LL1~LL5.Rotary shaft I1~I5, for example, with describe line LL1~ Rotary shaft centered on the center in the direction that LL5 extends, for direction identical with the axis of light beam LB is described.Also that is, odd number Description line LL1, LL3, LL5 rotary shaft I1, I3, I5, with the identical direction setting rhumb line Le1, the description line of even number Rotary shaft I2, the I4 of LL2, LL4, direction identical with setting rhumb line Le2.This cylindrical lens 85b, by driving portion 100 with It is rotated centered on rotary shaft I1~I5, the control device 16 by being connected to driving portion 100 controls the rotation of cylindrical lens 85b. Under the rotation centered on rotary shaft I1~I5 by cylindrical lens 85b, relative to by being projected near rotary shaft I1~I5 In the chief ray of the description light beam in substrate P, base is projeced by two end side of generatrix direction (Y-direction) of cylindrical lens 85b The chief ray of description light beam on plate P, due to orthogonal with any one of the bus of cylindrical lens 85b and rotary shaft I1~I5 Direction tilt slightly, therefore description line LL1~LL5 in substrate P can be made to tilt slightly.
Secondly, referring to Fig.1 5, illustrate to describe inclined adjustment of the line LL1~LL5 relative to substrate P width direction.2nd is real The exposure device EX for applying form is made by rotating cylindrical lens 85b with driving portion 100 come the width direction relative to substrate P Describe line LL1~LL5 inclination.Also that is, cylindrical lens 85b, plays adjustment and describe the respective inclined description line of line LL1~LL5 The function of rotating mechanism.
Driving portion 100 rotates cylindrical lens 85b respectively, makes each description module whereby The width direction inclination of description line LL1~LL5 opposing substrate P of UW1~UW5.
Herein, illustrate that before the description of exposure device EX, (such as when alignment) will scheme the substrate P transported with reference speed The tilt adjustments of description line LL1~LL5 of the case PT1~PT5 when the width direction of substrate P engages.In addition, said circumstances The tilt adjustments of description line LL1~LL5 in 2nd implementation form, due to description line LL1~LL5's in the 1st implementation form Tilt adjustments are roughly the same, therefore omit a part for repeating part and illustrate.As shown in figure 15, control device 16, according to The reference speed control driving portion 100 for the substrate P that rotation position testing agency 14 is detected rotates cylindrical lens 85b.At this time also Similarly, the reference speed of substrate P establishes corresponding relationship with the rotation amount of cylindrical lens 85b.Specifically, control device 16, Rotate cylindrical lens 85b according to the reference speed of substrate P, whereby to describe description starting position PO1 of line LL1~LL5 Description end position PO2 in conveyance direction upstream side, description line LL1~LL5 is located at the mode in the downstream side of conveyance direction, phase Rotate cylindrical lens 85b substrate P.
As shown in figure 15, after tilting description line LL1~LL5 respectively, respectively describe line Position substantially constantization of the LL1~LL5 in conveyance direction.Therefore, base is depicted in by postrotational description line LL1~LL5 Each pattern P T1~PT5 on plate P, such as with the shown in solid of Figure 15, with substrate P width direction substantially common direction straight line Ground is formed, in addition, also becomes same position in substrate P conveyance direction.Such as above-mentioned, pattern P T1~PT5, along substrate P width direction It engages in a row and is formed.
Secondly, explanation is in the description of exposure device EX, to from reference speed due to speed unevenness speed only slight variations And the substrate P transported simultaneously, by description line LL1~LL5 of the pattern P T1~PT5 when width direction of substrate P engages Tilt adjustments.In addition, the tilt adjustments of description line LL1~LL5 in the 2nd implementation form of said circumstances, due to implementing with the 1st The tilt adjustments of description line LL1~LL5 in form are roughly the same, therefore omit a part of explanation to repeating part.Such as Figure 15 Shown, driving portion 100 makes description line LL1~LL5 incline relative to substrate P width direction the substrate P transported with reference speed Oblique given degree whereby very suitably engages pattern P T1~PT5 in substrate P width direction.
It is being formed in substrate P after transporting substrate P with the conveying speed fast compared with reference speed from state shown in Figure 15 Pattern P T1~PT5, i.e., be formed obliquely in such a way that end PTa is located at the further downstream of conveyance direction compared with end PTb.Separately On the one hand, after substrate P is with slow compared with reference speed conveying speed conveying, the pattern P T1~PT5 being formed in substrate P, i.e., with End PTa is formed obliquely compared with the mode of the more upstream side for being located at conveyance direction end PTb.
Control device 16 becomes in the conveying speed of the substrate P detected with rotation position testing agency 14 compared with benchmark speed When spending fast, in the same manner as the 1st implementation form, to describe description of the description starting position PO1 compared with reference speed of line LL1~LL5 The description starting position PO1 of line LL1~LL5 is located at the more upstream side of conveyance direction, describes the description stop bits of line LL1~LL5 The mode that PO2 is located at the further downstream of conveyance direction compared with the description end position PO2 of description line LL1~LL5 of reference speed is set, The driving portion 100 for controlling each cylindrical lens 85b makes to describe line LL1~LL5 inclination.On the other hand, control device 16, with rotation When the conveying speed for the substrate P that position detecting mechanism 14 detects is slow compared with reference speed, opened with describing the description of line LL1~LL5 Beginning position PO1 is located at the further downstream of conveyance direction compared with the description starting position PO1 of description line LL1~LL5 of reference speed, retouches The description end position PO2 of line drawing LL1~LL5 is located at compared with the description end position PO2 of description line LL1~LL5 of reference speed The mode of the more upstream side of conveyance direction, the driving portion 100 for controlling each cylindrical lens 85b make to describe line inclination.
Herein, the inclination of line LL1~LL5 is described in the exposure device EX of the 2nd implementation form, individual adjustment.It therefore, can be across Median plane p3 divides into description line LL1, LL3, LL5 and the downstream of (odd number) description module UW1, UW3, UW5 of upstream side Description the line LL2, LL4 of (even number) description module UW2, UW4 of side and adjust separately inclination.
The speed generated in the description of exposure device EX is uneven, there is the rotation position meeting in the circumferential direction of rotor DR Different situations.Specifically, having the conveying speed in the substrate P of setting rhumb line Le1 and the substrate in setting rhumb line Le2 The different situation of the conveying speed of P.Under this situation, make description the line LL1, LL3, LL5 of odd number and the description line of even number LL2, LL4 opposing substrate P are similarly tilted.In this way, for example as shown in figure 16, there is description the line LL1, LL3, LL5 with odd number The pattern P T1 of formation, PT3, PT5 are formed along substrate P width direction, and another aspect, with the description line LL2 of even number, LL4 Pattern P T2, the PT4 of formation, the situation that opposing substrate P width direction is formed obliquely as shown in the dotted line with Figure 16.Its reason It is, due to description the line LL1, LL3, LL5 of odd number and the description line LL2 of even number, LL4 is separately positioned in the direction Xs, because This waits being depicted in the description of the pattern in the same field in the direction Xs in substrate P, has the time corresponding with substrate P conveying speed Difference.
Rhumb line is being arranged with what the encoder head EN1 of rotation position testing agency 14 was detected in control device 16, detection The conveying speed of the substrate P of Le1, in addition, detection is with the encoder head EN2 detection of rotation position testing agency 14 in setting side The conveying speed of the substrate P of bit line Le2.Then, the detected substrate P in setting rhumb line Le1 is detected in control device 16 Conveying speed and it is detected setting rhumb line Le2 substrate P conveying speed speed difference.In this way, control device 16, to include the conveying speed for detecting the conveying speed in the substrate P of setting rhumb line Le1 with the substrate P in setting rhumb line Le2 The composition of the function as speed difference testing agency of the speed difference of degree.Then, control device 16, according to detected speed Difference, control are set to the driving portion 100 of each cylindrical lens 85b of description the module UW2, UW4 of even number to adjust even number Description line LL2, LL4 inclination.Cylindrical lens 85b rotation adjustment post-exposure in pattern P T2, PT4 in substrate P, with Pattern P T1, PT3, PT5 similarly, are linearly formed along substrate P width direction.
More than, the 2nd implementation form, according to the conveying speed of the substrate P detected with rotation position testing agency 14, with driving Portion 100 rotates cylindrical lens 85b, can adjust separately the inclination for describing line LL1~LL5 whereby.It therefore, can be by along description The description light beam LB of line LL1~LL5 scanning, by the pattern P T1~PT5 being depicted in substrate P along substrate P width direction straight line Ground is formed, in addition, also becomes same position in substrate P conveyance direction.To the pattern P T1~PT5 that can will be depicted in substrate P It is modified to and is very suitably engaged in substrate P width direction and conveyance direction (strip direction), more inhibition removing because of substrate P Bonding error caused by sending speed uneven.
Also, the inclined mechanism (describing line rotating mechanism) that line LL1~LL5 is described in adjustment can use in the 2nd implementation form What is be made of driving portion 100 and cylindrical lens 85b is simply constituted.
Also, the 2nd implementation form, can detect the description line of (odd number) description module UW1, UW3, UW5 of upstream side The conveying of description the line LL2, LL4 of (even number) description module UW2, UW4 of the conveying speed and downstream side of LL1, LL3, LL5 The speed difference of speed correspondingly adjusts the inclination for describing line LL1~LL5 with detected speed difference.Therefore, even if odd number Description module UW1, UW3, UW5 description line LL1, LL3, LL5 description when the conveying speed of the substrate P and description of even number The conveying speed of substrate P different situation when the description of description the line LL2, LL4 of module UW2, UW4, since base can will be depicted in Pattern P T1~PT5 on plate P is modified to and is exposed in the merging that very suitably connects of substrate P width direction and conveyance direction Light, thus can inhibit because speed it is uneven caused by bonding error.
In addition, though rotating description line LL1~LL5 centered on rotary shaft I1~I5, being rotated in the 2nd implementation form Center is not particularly limited.For example, rotary shaft I1~I5 can also be made to describe the description starting position PO1 of line LL1~LL5 or retouch Draw end position PO2.
[the 3rd implementation form]
Secondly, referring to Fig.1 7 explanation the 3rd implementation forms exposure device EX.In addition, the 3rd implementation form also similarly, is Avoid with the 1st and the 2nd duplicate record of implementation form, also have only for the part progress from the 1st and the 2nd implementation form different Illustrate, to constituent element identical with the 1st and the 2nd implementation form, assigns symbol identical with the 1st and the 2nd implementation form and omit The situation of explanation.Figure 17 shows the pattern being depicted on substrate by the exposure device of the 3rd implementation form and describes matching for line Set the figure of an example of relationship.The exposure device EX of 1st implementation form by with rotating mechanism 24 make the 2nd optical platform 25 rotation come The inclination for describing line LL1~LL5 is integrally adjusted.In contrast, the exposure device EX of the 3rd implementation form, is retouched not changing Time point is described in adjustment under the inclined situation of line drawing LL1~LL5.
In the exposure device EX of 3rd implementation form, as shown in figure 17, control device 16 with rotation position testing agency 14 The conveying speed of the substrate P detected or conveying position are correspondingly corrected and describe time point.In addition, describing the amendment and the 1st of time point Implementation form is identical, as shown in figure 12, is corrected in conveyance direction in order to be depicted in CAD information used in substrate P.Also that is, control Device 16 processed, by CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD5 corresponding with the pattern P T1~PT5 being formed in substrate P, with pattern P T1~ The adjoin one another mode of conjunction of the end PTa of PT5, PTb is corrected CAD diagram case CAD1~CAD5 in conveyance direction.
In this way, control device 16, by the alignment of exposure device EX or when describing, and with rotation position testing agency The conveying speed of 14 substrate Ps detected or conveying position correspondingly correct with the CAD diagram case CAD1 shown in solid of Figure 12~ CAD5 can be depicted in substrate P in the position of conveyance direction as pattern P T1~PT5 shown in Figure 17 whereby.
More than, the 3rd implementation form, can according to the conveying speed of the substrate P detected with rotation position testing agency 14 or Position is transported, the description time point of module UW1~UW5 is described in amendment.Therefore, though the pattern P T1~PT5 phase being depicted in substrate P To substrate P width direction at inclination, but due to can be corrected in a manner of connecting together in substrate P width direction, can inhibit because Bonding error caused by speed is uneven.
[the 4th implementation form]
Secondly, referring to Fig.1 8 explanation the 4th implementation forms exposure device EX.In addition, the 4th implementation form also similarly, is Avoid with the 1st~the 3rd duplicate record of implementation form, also have only for the part progress from the 1st~the 3 implementation form different Illustrate, to constituent element identical with the 1st~the 3rd implementation form, assigns symbol identical with the 1st~the 3rd implementation form and omit The situation of explanation.Figure 18 shows the pattern being depicted on substrate by the exposure device of the 4th implementation form and describes matching for line Set the figure of an example of relationship.The exposure device EX of 1st~the 3rd implementation form, along the description for describing line LL1~LL5 scanning The scanning direction of light beam LB is the same direction.In contrast, the exposure device EX of the 4th implementation form, description line LL1~ Along the description line LL1 of description the module UW1, UW3, UW5 of odd number, the scanning for the description light beam LB that LL3, LL5 are scanned in LL5 Direction and the scanning direction of the description light beam LB of description line LL2, the LL4 scanning of description the module UW2, UW4 along even number are Opposite direction.
In the exposure device EX of 4th implementation form, as shown in figure 18, from multiple each projections for describing module UW1~UW5 To the point light of the description light beam LB of substrate P, terminate along description line LL1~LL5 of straight line from past describe of starting position PO1 is described Position PO2 is scanned in the Y direction.At this point, along line LL1, the scanning direction of the point light of the description light beam LB of LL3, LL5 scanning is described With along line LL2 is described, the scanning direction of the point light of the description light beam LB of LL4 scanning is opposite direction.This thing can be by making Fig. 7 Shown in respectively describe the polygonal rotating mirror 97 of module and be achieved toward the same direction (such as around counterclockwise) rotation.
Therefore, by the way that along line LL1 is described, LL3, LL5 (being set on the straight line parallel with median plane p3) scanning are retouched Pattern P T1, PT3, PT5 that light beam LB is formed in substrate P are drawn, is influenced by substrate P conveying speed, and for example Figure 18's It is formed slopely on turning right in paper.Also that is, end PTa on the right side of pattern P T1, PT3, PT5, compared to pattern P T1, PT3, PT5 The end PTb in left side is formed in the further downstream of conveyance direction.On the other hand, by the way that along line LL2 is described, LL45 (is set in On the straight line parallel with median plane p3) scanning description light beam LB be formed in pattern P T2, PT4 in substrate P, removed by substrate P Send the influence of speed, and it is past turn left with pattern P T1, PT3, PT5 opposite direction that is, in the paper of Figure 18 on be formed slopely. Also that is, end PTb on the right side of pattern P T2, PT4, compared to pattern P T2, the end PTa on the left of PT4 is formed in conveyance direction More upstream side.
In turn, if being divided between the direction Xs of description the line LL2, LL4 of description the line LL1, LL3, LL5 and even number of odd number Centainly, the unevenness of no substrate P conveying speed, respectively the rotation speed of the polygonal rotating mirror 97 of description module is consistent, then to describe The end PTb on the right side of the end PTb and pattern P T2 to describe line LL2 description on the left of pattern P T1 that line LL1 describes, in substrate P width direction (Y-direction) is engaged with conveyance direction (direction Xs).Similarly, on the left of the pattern P T2 to describe line LL2 description End PTa with describe line LL3 description pattern P T3 on the right side of end PTa also engaged in the Y direction with the direction Xs, to retouch The end PTb on the right side of the end PTb and pattern P T4 to describe line LL4 description on the left of pattern P T3 that line drawing LL3 describes is also in Y Direction is engaged with the direction Xs, the end PTa on the left of pattern P T4 to describe line LL4 description and the figure to describe line LL5 description End PTa on the right side of case PT5 is also engaged with the direction Xs in the Y direction.
As shown in the 4th implementation form, if making along line LL1 is described, the point light of the description light beam LB of LL3, LL5 scanning is swept Direction is retouched with along line LL2 is described, the scanning direction of the point light of the description light beam LB of LL4 scanning is opposite direction, as long as then base Plate P transports speed without unevenness, even if the pattern P T1~PT5 opposing substrate P width direction (Y-axis) being depicted in substrate P is inclined slightly Tiltedly, it can still be engaged in substrate P width direction.
Figure 19 shows each slightly inclined situation that the pattern P T1~PT5 being depicted in substrate P is corrected such as Figure 18, Herein, in the same manner as previous 2nd implementation form (Figure 14), by the cylindrical lens 85b for making f- θ lens system 85 with driving portion 100 It is rotated a little centered on rotary shaft I1~I5, individually to adjust the inclination for describing line LL1~LL5.
As shown in figure 19, to describe line LL1, the description starting position PO1 of LL3, LL5 are located at the upstream side of conveyance direction (direction-Xs), describe line LL1, the description end position PO2 of LL3, LL5 are located at the downstream side (direction+Xs) of conveyance direction Mode rotates the cylindrical lens 85b opposing substrate P in each description module UW1, UW3, UW5 by driving portion 100.Another party Face, to describe line LL2, the description starting position PO1 of LL4 is located at the upstream side (direction-Xs) of conveyance direction, describes line LL2, The description end position PO2 of LL4 is located at the mode in the downstream side (direction+Xs) of conveyance direction, keeps cylinder saturating by driving portion 100 Mirror 85b opposing substrate P rotation.
As shown in figure 19, after tilting description line LL1~LL5 respectively, after rotation Description line LL1~LL5 and be depicted in pattern P T1~PT5 in substrate P, such as with Figure 19 it is shown in solid with substrate P width The roughly the same direction in direction linearly arranges to be formed, in addition, becomes same position in the conveyance direction (direction Xs) of substrate P.In this way, As long as it is critically certain and uneven without speed that substrate P transports speed, the pattern P T1~PT5 depicted can be wide along substrate P Degree direction linearly connects and is formed as a line.Though in addition, also identical as the 2nd implementation form, the f- θ lens system of odd number The point that the face rotary shaft I1, I3, I5 and Y-Xs of 85 cylindrical lens 85b is intersected, on the line parallel with Y-axis.
In the description of exposure device EX, in the conveying speed of the substrate P of setting rhumb line Le1 and in setting rhumb line The different situation of the conveying speed of the substrate P of Le2, in the same manner as the 2nd implementation form, such as such as with the shown in solid of Figure 20, with The description line LL1 of odd number, the pattern P T1 that LL3, LL5 are formed, PT3, PT5 are formed along substrate P width direction, and another party Face, as shown in the dotted line with Figure 20, the pattern P T2 formed with the description line LL2 of even number, LL4, PT4, opposing substrate P width Direction is formed obliquely.
Therefore, control device 16, detection is with the encoder head EN1 detection of rotation position testing agency 14 in setting side Orientation is being arranged with what is detected with the encoder head EN2 of rotation position testing agency 14 in the conveying speed of the substrate P of bit line Le1 The speed difference of the conveying speed of the substrate P of line Le2.Then, control device 16 adjust even number according to detected speed difference Description line LL2, LL4 inclination.Postrotational pattern P T2, PT4, with pattern P T1, PT3, PT5 are similarly wide along substrate P Degree direction is formed.
More than, the 4th implementation form, according to the conveying speed of the substrate P detected with rotation position testing agency 14, with driving Portion 100 rotates cylindrical lens 85b, can adjust separately the inclination for describing line LL1~LL5 whereby.It therefore, can be by along description The description light beam LB of line LL1~LL5 scanning, the pattern P T1~PT5 being depicted in substrate P is not inclined along substrate P width direction Tiltedly critically engagement is formed, in addition, can also be engaged in same position in the conveyance direction of substrate P.To due to that can will be depicted in Pattern P T1~PT5 in substrate P is modified to very suitably to be engaged in substrate P width direction, therefore even if not as the 1st is real It applies amendment as form and describes time point, bonding error caused by capable of also inhibiting because of speed unevenness.
In addition, the 4th implementation form is also in the same manner as the 2nd implementation form, though make to describe line LL1~LL5 with rotary shaft I1~ It is rotated centered on I5, but rotation center is not particularly limited.For example, rotary shaft I1~I5 can also be made to describe line LL1~LL5's Describe starting position PO1 or describes end position PO2.
Also, in the 1st~the 4th implementation form, though using the scale portion GPa for being formed in rotor DR outer peripheral surface, GPb detection The rotation position (shift position of substrate P) of rotor DR or conveying speed, but not limited thereto is constituted.For example, also can be in Rotor DR installs the scale disk of high out of roundness.This scale disk is carved in outer peripheral surface and is equipped with scale portion GPa, GPb, Yu Xuan Turn the end cylinder DR be fixed into it is orthogonal with rotation centerline AX2.Therefore, scale disk, around rotation centerline AX2 and and rotational circle Cylinder DR integrally rotates.Also, scale disk, is used as base material using metal, glass, ceramics of low-heat exapnsion etc., surveys to improve It measures capacity of decomposition and is made diameter as big as possible (such as diameter 20cm or more).Scale disk is wound in rotational circle by making The diameter of scale the portion GPa, GPb of the outer peripheral surface diameter and scale disk of the substrate P of cylinder DR are consistent (substantially uniform), and can be more Reduce so-called measurement Abbe error.
Furthermore it also can be appropriately combined by each composition of the 1st~the 4th implementation form.Such as it can be on one side such as the 1st implementation form Rotate multiple description module UW1~UW5 integrally a little with rotating mechanism 24, on one side as (or the 4th implement shape to the 2nd implementation form State) as rotate each cylindrical lens 85b of f- θ lens system 85 for describing module UW1~UW5 individually a little.In turn, such as Fig. 3 It is shown, can be by making to be formed in multiple alignment mark Ks1 in substrate P, Ks2, Ks respective positions are micro- with corresponding alignment Mirror AM1 is detected, and constantly measures the two-dimensional dilatation or nonlinear torsional deformation of the exposure field A7 in substrate P Deng tendency.
Therefore, by cooperate with the exposure two-dimensional dilatation of field A7 of aligming microscope AM1 measurement or non-thread Property torsional deformation etc. mode, by each line for describing line LL1~LL5 or it is whole be immediately modified on substrate P surface it is micro- Width inclination, can be by established pattern layer in the exposure field A7 in substrate P and wait the depicting pattern of exposure thereon that coincides Coincide precision exposure field A7 in inhibit everywhere in permissible range.
Also, the 1st~the 4th implementation form, with the outer peripheral surface supporting substrates P of rotor DR and revolve rotor DR Turn, whereby on one side transport substrate P in longitudinal direction, on one side by pattern plotter in the portion of the rotor DR bearing with substrate P The composition divided, but it is not limited to this.For example, can also adsorb the state for being supported on the microscope carrier surface for supporting substrate P plane earth Microscope carrier and substrate P are transported in longitudinal direction, the composition of one side depicting pattern on one side, or also substrate P can be placed in branch In the state of on the flat surfaces of cushion cap, air bearing layer is formed between supporting station surface and the substrate P back side, and on one side with non- Substrate P is supported to planar conveying, the composition of one side depicting pattern by contact or low friction state.
Furthermore the 1st~the 4th implementation form it is each in, describe the whole inclination in the face XY of line LL1~LL5 in adjustment When, though rotate rotating mechanism 24 shown in Fig. 2 a little with the 2nd optical platform 25, it also can be by the axis of axis branch rotor DR The position of the bearing at the portion both ends Sf2 etc. is staggered a little toward X-direction, and keeps rotor DR whole tilted in the face XY.Also, will When being supported on the conveying speed of the longitudinal direction of the substrate P on rotor DR and being changed from reference speed, or in conveying speed Generate speed unevenness when, also can with after the change speed or speed unevenness correspondingly dynamically change delineation unit UW1~UW5 The rotation speed of respective polygonal rotating mirror 97.It also that is, can also be along the point light for each line scanning for describing line LL1~LL5 The ratio of conveying speed (subscan speed) Vxs of the longitudinal direction of scanning speed (main scanning speed) Vp and substrate P, in substrate The situation that P conveying speed has changed also essentially becomes certain mode, controls the rotation speed of polygonal rotating mirror 97.
