Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attenuate vibration transmitted to an exposure device main body by acoustic noise by generating an acoustic signal whose phase is inverted to the acoustic noise produced from an air conditioner. SOLUTION: A microphone 148 detecting the acoustic noise produced in an environment chamber 112 is set at an upper part in the chamber 112. The microphone 148 converts the detected sound signal into an electrical signal and supplies it to a signal processing circuit 150. Based on the electrical signal supplied from the microphone 148, the circuit 150 generates the electrical signal corresponding to the acoustic signal having the phase(opposite phase) to cancel the detected acoustic signal and supplies it to an amplifier 152. The amplifier 152 amplifies the signal from the circuit 150 to a specified level and supplies it to a speaker 154. The speaker 154 converts the electrical signal supplied from the amplifier 152 into the acoustic signal and discharges it into the chamber 112.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In an exposure apparatus used for manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit or the like, the exposure apparatus main body is housed in an environmental control chamber in order to control the apparatus temperature and the cleanliness inside the apparatus. Then, the temperature-controlled air supplied from an air supply device (hereinafter, simply referred to as "air conditioner") is filtered by a dust removing filter and then flown to the exposure apparatus main body. As the degree of integration of semiconductor integrated circuits is improved, it is necessary to remove extremely fine dust floating in the exposure apparatus main body, and therefore the dust removal filter is further miniaturized. In addition to the dust removal filter, a chemical substance removal filter is provided in order to suppress the performance change of the chemically amplified photoresist used for wiring formation in ultraviolet lithography. That is, this chemical substance removal filter removes the reactive chemical substance in the air.

Although it is possible to deal with the increase in the air flow rate in the environmental chamber and the pressure loss with a large capacity of the air conditioner, the vibration generated from the air conditioner becomes a problem. It's starting. That is, since the capacity of the air conditioner was small in the past, the vibration level generated from the air conditioner was also small, which was not a problem, but as the capacity of the air conditioner increased, the vibration generated from it also increased, and the exposure apparatus Has reached a level that affects the accuracy of. Among the vibrations generated from the air conditioner and the like, the vibrations transmitted through the floor and the mechanical coupling portion can be relatively easily dealt with by the passive vibration damping means such as a rubber pad. However, no effective coping method has been found until now for the vibration transmitted to the exposure apparatus main body in the form of pressure waves of air, which is a medium for environmental control, so-called acoustic noise. Here, a method of forming a baffle in the air flow path to damp the vibration, or a method of preventing the propagation by dividing the flow path into two different lengths such as two systems and causing interference. However, according to such a method, the size of the apparatus itself becomes large and a large pressure loss occurs. Further, there is an inconvenience that the low frequency band cannot be sufficiently covered.

As described above, in this embodiment, an acoustic signal having a phase opposite to the acoustic noise detected by the microphone 148 is output from the speaker 154 to the environmental chamber 11.
Since it is flowing inside 2, the acoustic noise is canceled and the device vibration caused by the acoustic noise is suppressed. It should be noted that the microphone 148 and the speaker 154 are arranged at positions where the acoustic noise can be detected and erased best in view of the positional relationship with the air conditioner such as the blower 124. Also, multiple microphones and speakers may be used if desired. For example, a microphone and a speaker may be installed near the optical path of an interferometer that is easily affected by the environment such as vibration and temperature, and the environment (influence of acoustic noise) near the optical path may be controlled by independent control. Furthermore,
Since the vibration of the movable mirror 144 greatly affects the position measurement of the wafer stage 142, the acoustic (vibration) environment near the movable mirror 144 may be controlled independently.
