Directly over the mounting table 30, dispose the light shield frame 31 of the support frame of the light shield film M that supports formation desired circuit pattern.
Aircondition 2 is located at outside the exposure room R2, and air is adjusted to set temperature humidity.This aircondition 2 will be adjusted to both air of fixed temperature and humidity and be supplied to supply port 3 in the exposure room R2 described later, and supply port 3 is connected with conduit 2a, 2b with side walls escape hole 5, after the air of discharging from the side wall surface escape hole 5 that is arranged in the exposure room R2 described later reclaims, adjust temperature and humidity once again and supply with.This aircondition 2 portion within it possesses not the temperature adjusting mechanism and the humidity adjusting mechanism of icon.
The air that supply port 3 is adjusted aircondition 2 excess temperatures and humidity is above the light shield frame 31 of support light shield M and supply with.Then, by the air of supplying with from this supply port 3, in exposure room R2, through above the light shield frame 31 (becoming the face of rayed side), be formed up to the stream of other sidewall of exposure room R2 from this supply port 3.
At the peristome of supply port 3, be provided with air cleaning filter 3a.Air cleaning filter 3a is the floating material of absorption dust etc. and the paper filter removed as used herein, preferably volatile matter such as adsorbent particles or silicon dioxide and siloxane and the HEPA filtrator removed, or middle performance filtrator.
And at this, supply port 3 forms the width corresponding to the useful area (pattern forms area) of the light shield film M that is supported by light shield frame 31, and the state of being arranged to tilt and towards light shield frame 31.
At this, supply port 3 forms horizontal wide, has than the wideer width in zone that forms pattern, and the air of supplying with from supply port 3 can all be covered on the pattern that forms light shield film M.
The pitch angle of this supply port 3, shown in Fig. 3 a, preferably the air of Gong Geiing is blown above light shield 31 to the tilt angle theta 1 of circulator 4 sides.At this, when the upper face side of light shield frame 31 during as reference field, tilt angle theta 1 is the above scopes of following 45 degree of 90 degree with respect to this reference field preferably.That is, the air supply direction of the air of supplying with from supply port 3 with respect to reference field be parallel to 45 degree be the scope of its air-supply.This supply port 3 forms from supply port 3 stream till the circulator 4 above light shield frame 31 by the air of supplying with.
As shown in Figure 2, circulator 4 changes are from the moving direction of the next air of supply port 3 air-supplies.
Particularly, when supplying with from supply port 3, the air of the upper face side by the light shield frame after by the space between light shield frame 31 and the mounting table 30, arrives the side wall surface escape hole 5 of the downside that is positioned at supply port 3, and changes the moving direction of air.At this, the moving direction of the air by the space between light shield frame 31 and the mounting table 30 is parallel direction with respect to the mounting surface of mounting table 30 preferably.
Circulator 4 is located in the wall of the framework 6 that constitutes exposure device 1 another wall with the exposure room R2 of the position opposite side that supply port 3 is set, and at this, is arranged at and supply port 3 and side wall surface escape hole 5 position in opposite directions.
In other words, circulator 4 in the wall of the framework 6 that constitutes exposure device 1, be positioned at the wall that supply port 3 is set be the wall of opposition side, promptly be located at and be provided with the wall wall in opposite directions of supply port 3.
Circulator 4 comprise another wall that is arranged at exposure room R2 housing 4a, from the suction inlet 4b of the one side side of being located at this housing 4a suck air and from the rotating vane 4c of the air outlet 4d air-supply of the another side side of being located at housing 4a, drive the CD-ROM drive motor 4e of this rotating vane 4c rotation, rotatably support bearing 4f by the rotating vane 4c of CD-ROM drive motor 4e rotation.
And, at suction inlet 4b and air outlet 4d, air cleaning filter 3a same as described above can be installed also.This circulator 4 forms from another sidewall of exposure room R2 by between light shield frame 31 and the mounting table 30 and towards the air flow circuit of side wall surface escape hole 5.
Side wall surface escape hole 5 is used to discharge the air in the exposure room R2, and discharges the air of sending here from circulator 4.This side wall surface escape hole 5 is positioned at the below of supply port 3, is arranged to towards the space between mounting table 30 and the light shield frame 31, makes the air that passes through the space between mounting table 30 and the light shield frame 31 from circulator 4 discharges, is discharged from effectively.
And, at the peristome of this side wall surface escape hole 5, preferably be provided with air cleaning filter 5a same as described above.
In the present embodiment, form the air-flow of discharging in the exposure room R2, by the space between mounting table 30 and the light shield frame 31, positively form air-flow to side wall surface escape hole 5 from circulator 4 by this side wall surface escape hole 5.
This side wall surface escape hole 5 forms transverse width corresponding to the useful area of light shield film M, and is arranged to respect to the said reference face state of vertical (being 90 degree).
In other words, as can be seen from Figure 2, side wall surface escape hole 5 forms the width identical with supply port 3, and the width in zone of pattern that cans be compared to formation light shield film M most is also wide.
And shown in Fig. 3 b, side wall surface escape hole 5 preferably is configured in from the position that the aperture position of supply port 3 retreats, diminishes for the influence of the air-flow of supplying with from supply port.
That is, side wall surface escape hole 5 preferably is positioned at the rear side of the air supply direction of the air of supplying with from supply port 3.
In addition, shown in Fig. 3 b, side wall surface escape hole 5 is preferably disposed on the scope opposite with the angle of inclination of supply port 3.That is, side wall surface escape hole 5 is that preferably the scope from 90 degree to 135 degree tilts and is provided with respect to the scope of said reference face from 45 degree to 135 degree.If surpass from 45 degree to the scope of 135 degree, can't may be again the reason that produces the sinuous flow in the stream suitably towards exhausr port for air from circulator 4.
With reference to Fig. 1, the exhaust ground 7 with vent port 7a is that the air in the exposure room R2 is discharged the outer device of exposure room R2, by exposure room R2 and the outer draught head enforcement exhaust of exposure room.Vent port 7a is used for air in the exposure room R2 is discharged, and can't be expelled to outside the exposure room R2 from the air that side wall surface escape hole 5 is discharged in the air of the main device of self-loopa in the future 4.
By so constructing, can prevent that the air of not discharging from side wall surface escape hole 5 from hindering from supply port 3 through the air-flow of circulators 4 towards side wall surface 5.
This vent port 7a forms mesh-shape or stamped metal shape on the ground that mounting table 30 is set, be formed at this ground at least a portion or whole.
And above-mentioned each inscape is set in the framework 6 of light source chamber R1 and exposure room R2.Light source chamber R1 is airtight case shape space.Exposure room R2 is the space that the substrate W that moves into and take out of that side wall surface has a not shown enforcement substrate W takes out of the case shape of inlet.And, the open area ratio substrate W of vent port 7a to take out of inlet area also wide.
The action of exposure device then, is described.
In exposure device 1, at first, use the Handling device of not shown handle etc., with substrate W carrying and mounting on mounting table 30.
Then, the mounting table 30 of mounting substrate W is risen,, make substrate W remain on the state of approaching or butt for the light shield film M that is supported by light shield frame 31.
In exposure device 1, when substrate W began to move into, the air that is adjusted to preset temperature and humidity by aircondition 2 was supplied in the exposure room R2 from supply port 3, and, the air of supplying with from supply port 3 changes direct of travels by circulator 4, arrives side wall surface escape hole 5 and afterwards discharges.
That is, as shown in Figure 1, the air of supplying with from supply port 3 forms air-flow (stream), after arrival circulator 4 sides, passes through to arrive side wall surface escape hole 5 between light shield frame 31 and the mounting table 30 by means of circulator 4 above light shield frame 31.
At this if the air flow circuit of table side (upside) that flows through light shield film M for toward the road, the air flow circuit that flows through the inboard (downside) of light shield film M is multiple road, then forms to clip light shield film M and be positioned at air-flow (stream) up and down toward the Lu Yufu road.
Thus, flow through the upper face side of the air on past road,, make the temperature humidity of light shield film M keep certain, flow through air side below light shield film M on multiple road, the temperature humidity of light shield film M is kept necessarily through light-passing board from light shield film M.
And when substrate W mounting was on mounting table 30, the air that flows through multiple road made the temperature humidity of substrate W keep certain.
In exposure device 1, when start, will be from the irradiates light of light source 10, the process particular optical is 20, becomes the ultraviolet irradiation light that comprises set wavelength, and exposes on light shield film M and the substrate W.At this, when irradiates light shone, the assembly of light shield film M, light shield frame 31, light-passing board, substrate W etc. was owing to illuminated rayed is generated heat.Particularly, be positioned near the assembly the concave mirror 24, be easy to show the state that is influenced by this heat.
Yet, judge that from Fig. 1 light shield M is owing to be positioned at than concave mirror 24 also near the position of substrate W, it is often also big than substrate W to generate heat.And for substrate W, irradiates light generally is to shine once, is subjected to hot influence during exposure operation for once, for light shield film M, owing to be used to shine the plural pieces substrate, is the influence that repeatedly is subjected to heat during exposure operation.
At this, in exposure device 1, by adjusting temperature humidity by air-flow up and down, when exposure, will be suppressed to minimum, and the temperature humidity of air is reacted to light shield film M to the influence of the heat of light shield film M effect at light shield film M.
Promptly, when supplying with from supply port 3, formed toward the road by air by the upper face side of light shield film M, and when discharging from circulator 4, by the formed multiple road of the air in the space between light shield frame 31 and the mounting table 30, air is directly blown over light shield film M, when exposure is suppressed to Min. to the influence of the heat of light shield film M effect.
In addition, form air,, flow through toward the air on road and adjust temperature, the humidity of light shield film M upside, and adjust temperature, the humidity of light shield film M downside via light-passing board owing to be adjusted to set temperature, humidity respectively toward the Lu Yufu road.
In the exposure device 1, the stream that air is reciprocal is owing to equate approximately that with the air influence that inner face is supplied with the flexible state that can keep light shield film M is to good equilibrium state to the surface of light shield film M.
In other words, in the exposure device 1 of present embodiment, by being positioned at the air of light shield film M stream (toward the Lu Yufu road) up and down, owing to be adjusted to set temperature, humidity, states such as the temperature of light shield film M and humidity also reach the air on multiple road by means of passing through past road, and maintain temperature desired, humidity.As a result, exposure device in the top and bottom of light shield film M, owing to can not produce temperature difference and psychrometric difference, can suppress light shield film M in the different situation of state of stretching up and down as is known.
In addition, shown in Figure 2, owing to form the stream of air, the stream from volatile matter such as the silicon dioxide of sensing optical activity resin bed volatilization and siloxane and the floating material that floats on dust in the exposure room R2 etc. along air moves, and escape hole 5 is expelled to outside the exposure room R2 from the side.And, under the situation that escape hole 5 is not discharged from the side, can be expelled to outside the exposure room R2 from the vent port 7a on ground.
And, can prevent to be attached to the surface of concave mirror 24 and light shield film M etc. from volatile matter such as the silicon dioxide of photo-sensitive resin volatilization and siloxane and the floating material that floats on dust in the exposure room R2 etc.
And owing to be provided with air cleaning filter 3a at supply port 3, the air that is supplied to exposure room R2 from supply port 3 is by air cleaning filter 3a and peace and quiet.Then, because this peace and quiet air can pass through along light shield frame 31, light shield film M, substrate W and mounting table 30, can prevent effectively that floating material such as dust is attached on the light shield frame 31.
And, because the air of adjusting temperature and humidity by aircondition 2 is supplied in the exposure room R2, in exposure room R2, particularly temperature and the humidity around the light shield film M can be remained on set temperature and humidity.
Therefore, exposure device 1 can be dealt with the exposure of circuit pattern of granular of the condition strictness of temperature and humidity.
And at this, aircondition 2 is supplied with and for example temperature is controlled at 22~23 ℃, humidity and is controlled at 55~60% air.In addition, for example the air supply velocity from supply port 3 is 1.5m/sec, the air supply velocity of sending from circulator 4 by the time be 1.5m/sec.
And though more than Shuo Ming exposure device 1 is to be that example is done explanation with circulator 4 as the air supply direction change device, structure as described in Figure 4 also can.
Fig. 4 a, 4b are stereographic map and the sectional view that the part with exposure device of the another way of expression air supply direction change device removes.And in the following description, in the illustrated structure, components identical gives identical label and omits its explanation.
As shown in Figure 4, wind deflector 14 (air-supply change device) is watched the formation bending from section, makes the air by light shield film M upside pass through the downside of light shield film M and towards side wall surface escape hole 5, comprise twisted plate 14a and derivation plate 14b.The twisted plate 14a of this wind deflector 14 is the functions as the change plate of change air direct of travel.And, derive plate 14b and adjust air-flow, making by the downside of light shield M towards the air-flow of side wall surface escape hole 5 is parallel with respect to light shield film M.
