The dimensional ratios between the constituent members shown in the drawings do not necessarily represent actual dimensional ratios.
Embodiment 1
Fig. 1 shows a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the semiconductor manufacturing apparatus 1 includes a photomask apparatus 10 and a substrate 20. In the semiconductor manufacturing process, before exposure, for example, a resist 30 is coated on a substrate 20 by a conventional method, light is irradiated onto the resist 30 on the substrate 20 through a photomask 11 including a pattern of openings, and the resist is developed, cleaned, and the like by a conventional method, thereby forming a predetermined pattern on the substrate 20.
In the present embodiment, the photomask apparatus 10 further includes a blocking portion 13. The blocking portion 13 includes an optically transmissive film 131 and at least two transmitting portions 133. The optically transmissive film 131 is interposed between the photomask 11 and the substrate 20, and at least two transmitting portions 133 move one film of the optically transmissive film 131 against the surface of the photomask 11 facing the substrate 20 side. The optically transmissive film 131 is opposed to the photomask 11 and the substrate 20 with a gap therebetween, that is, an air gap (air gap) is formed between the optically transmissive film 131 and the photomask 11, so that the movement of the optically transmissive film 131 is not hindered by the photomask 11, and the rolling of the optically transmissive film 131 is further realized. The optically transmissive film 131 is a film having high light transmittance to light and has flexibility. For example, a resin material such as ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE), polycarbonate resin, polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide, or a composite film obtained by coating a flexible substrate with an antireflective film may be used. Preferably, a flexible film having a light transmittance of 95% or more is used.
Specifically, the at least two transmitting portions 133 are at least two shaft portions extending along the width direction of the optically transmissive film 131, and the width direction of the optically transmissive film 131 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the optically transmissive film 131. At least two of the transmitting portions 133 include a start shaft portion for fixing to the start end of the optically transmissive film 131 and a stop shaft portion for fixing to the stop end of the optically transmissive film 131, and in the case where the start shaft portion further has a portion of the optically transmissive film 131 that is curled, after the optically transmissive film 131 moves from the start end toward the stop end, a portion of the optically transmissive film 131 on the stop end side is curled by the stop shaft portion, and a portion of the optically transmissive film 131 that was originally curled by the start shaft portion is spread.
"the starting shaft portion also has a portion of the optically transmissive film 131 that is curled" means that there is still an unused portion on the starting shaft portion, where the use refers to being applied to a photolithography process. By "a portion of the optically transmissive film 131 that is originally curled by the starting shaft portion is unfolded" is meant that an unused portion of the optically transmissive film 131 moves toward the ending shaft portion, turning into a portion to be used. The portion of the optically transmissive film 131 interposed between the photomask 11 and the substrate 20 and facing both is a portion to be used or being used, and when the portion of the optically transmissive film 131 is separated from a position interposed between the photomask 11 and the substrate 20 and facing both, this means that the portion of the optically transmissive film 131 is contaminated, and as a result, is cleaned by a cleaning portion 135 described later, is used as a reusable optically transmissive film 131, or is terminated with the shaft portion curled and discarded when the use of the optically transmissive film 131 is completed.
The start shaft portion and the end shaft portion are rotatable, and a driving portion (not shown) is preferably provided in the end shaft portion. However, the driving portion may be provided for both the start shaft portion and the end shaft portion. Further, a sensor may be additionally provided for detecting whether or not the haze of the optically transmissive film 131 directly under the photomask 11, the size of volatile particles on the film surface, the change in optical characteristics of light passing through the optically transmissive film 131, or the like is within a predetermined threshold range indicating that replacement is not necessary, and if it is determined that the threshold is exceeded, a signal may be sent to the driving unit to cause the driving unit to operate. Further, a timer may be provided to the driving unit, and the driving unit may be automatically operated after a predetermined time has elapsed. Instead of the driving unit, a handle or the like for facilitating manual operation may be provided, and a user may determine whether to replace the optically transmissive film 131.
The at least two transmission portions 133 include at least one abutment shaft portion in addition to the start shaft portion and the end shaft portion. With respect to the optically transmissive film 131, all of the at least one abutment shaft portion is located between the start shaft portion and the end shaft portion, and the optically transmissive film 131 is in slidable contact or frictional contact with the outer surface of the at least one abutment shaft portion, the abutment shaft portion not only can transmit the function of the optically transmissive film 131, but also can change the transmission direction of the optically transmissive film 131 by abutment with the optically transmissive film 131.
In the example of fig. 1, at least two of the transmission portions 133 include four transmission portions 133 as abutting shaft portions and a start shaft portion and a stop shaft portion, which are not shown. The four transmission portions 133 as the abutment shaft portions are the first transmission portion 133, the second transmission portion 133, the third transmission portion 133, and the fourth transmission portion 133, respectively. The optical transmission film 131 is wound around the first transmission part 133, the second transmission part 133, the third transmission part 133, the fourth transmission part 133, and the end shaft part (not shown) in this order from the start shaft part, and the optical transmission film 131 is wound around the first transmission part 133, the second transmission part 133, the third transmission part 133, the fourth transmission part 133, and the end shaft part in this order, so that the unused optical transmission film 131 is wound around the end shaft part from just below the photomask 11 through at least the second transmission part 133 after the optical transmission film 131 moves along these shaft parts, and the used optical transmission film 131 is finally wound around the end shaft part from just below the photomask 11 through the third transmission part 133 and the subsequent fourth transmission part 133.
The present embodiment is not limited to this, and the number of contact shaft portions may be appropriately set as long as the optical transmission film 131 can be appropriately transmitted between the photomask 11 and the substrate 20, and light passing at the time of lithography is not affected.
In the example shown in fig. 1, the second and third transmission portions 133 and 133 as abutment portions are arranged outside opposite end edges of the photomask 11 along the moving direction of the optically transmissive film 131 and traverse between the photomask 11 and the substrate 20. Thus, in a region between the two abutting shaft portions (hereinafter, also referred to as a blocking region) when the surface of the photomask 11 facing the substrate 20 side is viewed in plan, the optical transmission film 131 covers the entire surface of the photomask 11.
The present utility model is not limited to the example of fig. 1, and one of the two shaft portions arranged outside the opposite end edges of the photomask 11 in the moving direction of the optically transmissive film 131 and crossing between the photomask 11 and the substrate 20 may be an abutment shaft portion, and the other may be any one of the start shaft portion 1331 and the end shaft portion 1333, and the same effect can be achieved.
The present utility model is not limited to the example of fig. 1, and the first transmission portion 133 and the fourth transmission portion 133, which are contact portions, may be replaced with a start shaft portion and a stop shaft portion, respectively, so that the same effect can be achieved.
According to the above embodiment, by providing the blocking portion 13, it is possible to prevent the photomask from being atomized, and by rotating the shaft portion of the transmission portion 133, the used contaminated optically transmissive film 131 can be replaced with an unused optically transmissive film 131, and it is possible to prevent the photomask from being detached, and to prevent the atomized particles of the photoresist from adhering to the photomask and contaminating the semiconductor manufacturing apparatus 1 due to the long-term deposition and dropping, thereby improving the production efficiency of the semiconductor.
Embodiment 2
In embodiment 2 of the present utility model shown in fig. 2, at least two transmission portions 133 have only two shaft portions, namely, a start shaft portion 1331 and a stop shaft portion 1333, without having abutting shaft portions. The start shaft portion 1331 and the end shaft portion 1333 are arranged outside the opposite end edges of the photomask 11 along the moving direction of the optically transmissive film 131 and traverse between the photomask 11 and the substrate 20, respectively. Thus, in a region between the start shaft portion 1331 and the end shaft portion 1333 (hereinafter, also referred to as a blocking region) when the surface of the photomask 11 facing the substrate 20 side is viewed in plan, the entire surface of the photomask 11 is covered with the optically transmissive film 131.
Further, in the example of fig. 2, the start shaft portion 1331 and the end shaft portion 1333 are rotated in synchronization to keep the optically transmissive film 131 flat. This reduces the influence on the image light. Further, when the optically transmissive film 131 is moved, the start shaft portion 1331 and the end shaft portion 1333 are rotated synchronously in the same direction, but the present utility model is not limited thereto, and the start shaft portion 1331 and the end shaft portion 1333 are rotated synchronously in the opposite direction, and the relative heights of the start shaft portion 1331 and the end shaft portion 1333 may be appropriately adjusted so that the film surface of the optically transmissive film 131 therebetween is parallel to the surface of the photomask 11.
Of course, the start shaft portion 1331 is not limited to the left shaft portion, the end shaft portion 1333 is not limited to the right shaft portion, and the positions of the start shaft portion 1331 and the end shaft portion 1333 may be reversed.
According to this embodiment, the same effects as those of embodiment 1 can be achieved.

The optically transmissive film 131 is provided with a cleaning section 135 in contact with a portion other than the blocking region. The film surface contacted by the optically transmissive film 131 is a surface facing the substrate 20.
The cleaning portion 135 may be provided between two adjacent shaft portions other than the blocking region, for example, between the end shaft portion and the adjacent abutment shaft portion, or between the adjacent two abutment shaft portions. Further, one type of cleaning portion 135 may be provided between the two shaft portions, or a plurality of types of cleaning may be combined between the two shaft portions. In addition, one cleaning method may be provided between two adjacent shaft portions and another cleaning method may be provided between the other two adjacent shaft portions, but the present utility model is not limited thereto, as long as the contaminated optical transmission film 131 can be properly cleaned.
Further, the cleaning portion 135 may be in slidable contact or frictional contact with the optically transmissive film 131 instead of the position where the cleaning portion 135 is abutted against the shaft portion, so that the cleaning portion 135 can serve both the purposes of conveyance and cleaning.
Further, the cleaning portion 135 may be provided next to the end shaft portion 1333 and may be in contact with a film surface of the optically transmissive film 131 on a side facing the substrate 20. In particular, in the example of fig. 2, the cleaning portion 135 is in contact with a film surface of the optically transmissive film 131 on an outer surface of the end shaft portion 1333 remote from the start shaft portion 1331.
