BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, when forming fine patterns on the surface of a silicon substrate, a glass substrate for a thin film element, etc. by optical lithography using a transfer/writing device, the problem has been how to suppress warpage of the substrate. It is necessary to take measures to prevent warping on the board during the process, but if there is a slight warp,
It was sufficient to perform flat chucking using three methods: vacuum, electrostatic, and mechanical. (Ultra LSI Technology Collection, 1982 edition, Diamond Inc.) In particular, the vacuum chucking method makes it easy to flatten the substrate by creating multiple holes in a highly flat substrate holder and applying vacuum. Because of this, it is widely used in exposure equipment on semiconductor device manufacturing lines. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a conventional vacuum chuck system. 1 is a substrate, 2' is a vacuum chuck type substrate holding stand, 3 is a hole for a vacuum chuck, and 4 is a stand for holding a vacuum chuck. The substrate 1 is connected to the vacuum pump 5 through the hole 3.
The flatness can be maintained by being chucked on the substrate holding table 2 having higher flatness.

In the above-mentioned conventional technology, if it is concave on the device side, there is not much of a problem, but if it is convex on the device side or the device side is wavy,
In the case of large-area substrates, planarization is difficult.
FIG. 3 illustrates the case where substrates with various warpages are vacuum chucked by the conventional vacuum chuck method. The left side is before the vacuum chuck, the right side is after the vacuum chuck, and the upper side is the device surface. If a is concave toward the device surface, it is easy to flatten it, but if it is convex or undulating toward the device surface, as in b and c, there will be a portion in the center or its periphery that cannot be flattened. especially,
When forming a fine pattern of several micrometers, the wavelength of the exposure device is 200 to 500 nanometers, and with an exposure device using a lens system, it is necessary to suppress warpage to within a depth of focus of 10 micrometers. (Applied Physics, vol 49, No. 1, 1980, p83
~89) There is a problem in that the larger the area, the more difficult it becomes to keep it within the above numerical value.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the vacuum chuck system of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 designates a substrate, 2 a vacuum chuck type substrate holder that can be moved up and down independently, 3 a hole for a vacuum chuck, and 4 a pedestal for holding a vacuum chuck. After the substrate 1 is fixed to an independent vacuum chuck type substrate holding stand 2 through a hole 3 by a vacuum pump 5, data is sent from the flatness measuring device 6 to a flatness control device 7.
When controlling the height of the vacuum chuck type substrate holder 2, a vertical drive device 8 is used to move it up and down. When controlling the suction force of the vacuum chuck, the pressure is controlled by independently adjusting the pressure valve 9. This operation is performed until adequate flatness is achieved.
For example, in order to achieve flattening in FIG. 3b, the height of the vacuum chuck type substrate holder 2 in the central area is lowered from the peripheral area, as shown in the right-hand diagrams in FIGS. 4a and 4b. Alternatively, instead of lowering the height of the vacuum chuck type substrate holder 2 at the center, flattening can be achieved by lowering the pressure of the vacuum chuck at the center and increasing the suction force.
