Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate a bad influence of a laser beam on peripheral equipment to improve safety and to ensure a good elimination of vibration caused by oscillations of laser by providing a meandering vibration proof and light shielding means around an optical path in a connection part between the laser beam and an exposure device body. SOLUTION: Light which has passed through a fly eye lens 16 passes through an optical connection part 22 between a laser oscillation part 18 and an exposure device body 20 and goes toward the side of body 20. The part 22 shields the laser beam leaking therefrom and absorbs vibrations generating especially in a laser beam source 12, thereby preventing the vibrations from being transmitted to the side of body 20 via a light shielding member. A meandering connection part is formed integrally with the light shielding member so as to absorb the vibrations, inside of the part 22. The meandering part has a hardness enough to absorb a minute vibration and is formed of a material by which the laser beam can be shielded completely.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, an exposure apparatus using a laser as an exposure light source has attracted attention. In an exposure apparatus that uses laser light, the light source that oscillates the laser is very large, and the cooling fan and the like generate vibration in the laser power supply unit, and the light source vibrates during laser oscillation. Therefore, in most cases, the exposure apparatus main body and the laser light source are separately installed. Further, in some cases, the exposure apparatus main body is installed on a vibration isolating table to cope with this vibration so that vibration during laser oscillation is not transmitted to the exposure apparatus main body via the floor surface.

However, in an exposure apparatus using such a laser as an exposure light source, if laser light leaks from an optical connection between the laser light source and the exposure apparatus main body, adverse effects will be exerted on peripheral devices and the like. There is a possibility that this may cause a problem, and further improvement in safety is demanded. On the other hand, a treatment method is conceivable in which the light path of the optical connection between the laser light source and the exposure apparatus body is surrounded by a light-shielding member to prevent laser light from leaking from the connection.
