2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 7 is a front view of a conventional apparatus for aligning an object to be processed such as a wafer in an exposure apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor element, the same drawing apparatus and the like. A wafer chuck 4 holding an object to be processed is slidably mounted on a table 6 on a table 3, and a semiconductor wafer (object to be processed) 5 is mounted on the wafer chuck 4. A laser mirror-2 is attached to the end of the table 3 and reflects the laser light from the interferometer 9. The interferometer 9 compares the emitted light with the reflected light and the laser mirror-2 Measure the position. Since the distance L between the laser mirror-2 and the wafer 5 is fixed, the position of the wafer 5 is determined from the position of the laser mirror-2. In many cases, the table 3 can be moved in two axial directions of the X direction and the Y direction.

In the above conventional apparatus, the laser miller-2 is used for thermal expansion of the table 3 and the rail 6 is used.
However, there is a problem that the direction of the reflecting surface changes due to displacement due to the flatness error, elastic deformation, etc., and in the worst case, the reflected light from the laser mirror-2 does not enter the interferometer. Also,
Since the elastic deformation is changed by the driving force acting on the table 3, it is difficult to quantitatively grasp the problem.
The horizontal position variation of the reflection surface of the laser mirror-2 can be improved to some extent by reducing the coefficient of thermal expansion of the constituent members, but elastic deformation causes variation of the direction of the reflection surface of the member. It has been a problem that the weight increases unrealistically when the rigidity is increased.

Further, if the wafer distance L is shortened, the above wafer positioning error can be shortened.

It is also difficult to shorten the distance L because a backscattered electron detector and the like are disposed. An object of the present invention is to provide a positioning device that can eliminate the variation in the direction of the reflecting surface of the laser mirror-2 and can reduce the variation in the distance L.

In FIG. 2, the laser mirror-2a is supported by the tip of the elastic hinge leaf spring 1a, and is in light contact with the table 3 via the roller 14 (or ball). Further, the elastic hinge leaf spring 1a has a structure in which circular holes are appropriately provided in a steel rod as shown in the figure, and the circular holes are connected by a slit-shaped gap.

For this reason, as shown in the figure, the end of each hollow hole 100 acts as a hinge to bend when displaced in the vertical direction, and it does not expand or contract because it exhibits high rigidity with respect to a horizontal force. .. Therefore, when the table 3 is driven by the servomotor 8 via the feed screw 7 and moves on the rail 6, the laser mirror against the elastic deformation and external force.
The feature that the direction of the reflecting surface of 2a and the distance L between the wafer chuck 4 and the laser mirror-2a are little changed is obtained. That is, the positioning accuracy of the wafer 5 can be improved by the laser interferometer. In addition, each hollow hole 10
0 does not necessarily have to be circular, and may be square or any other shape as long as it can form the hinge portion.

In the conventional apparatus shown in FIG. 6, as shown in FIG. 5, the direction of the reflecting surface of the laser mirror-2a was largely changed due to the curve of the table 3. The change in the distance L between the wafer chuck 4 and the laser mirror-2a was also large. The same applies to the case where the laser mirror 2a and the wafer chuck 4 are simply connected with high rigidity.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a gap is provided between the elastic hinge leaf spring 1a and the table 3 so that the roller 14 is omitted, so that the elastic hinge leaf springs 1a, 1b, etc. have a frictional force or a vertical force. It is also possible to reduce the weight of each elastic hinge leaf spring by preventing the directional force from acting and by using the hollow hole 100, the slit 101, and the like. Further, in FIG. 6, the wafer chuck 4 is supported by the support member 13 only on the table 3 in a dot shape or a linear shape so that the contact area between the wafer chuck 4 and the table 3 is reduced. This prevents the deformation of the table 3 from being transmitted to the chuck 4,
The change in the distance L can be further reduced.

According to the present invention, the change in the distance between the laser mirror and the wafer caused by the deformation of the wafer table can be reduced to 50% or less as compared with the conventional apparatus.
For example, the pattern arrangement pitch error in the exposure apparatus can be reduced to ± 0.05 μm or less from the conventional ± 0.1 μm. Further, since the thickness of the wafer table can be made thinner than that of the conventional device, the height of the positioning device can be lowered and the device can be made lighter. This weight reduction makes it possible to shorten the wafer positioning time.
