Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the traveling performance and responsiveness and simplify the assembling and adjusting works by making equal the height of the driving position of the movable guides in the X and Y directions and the position height of the center of gravity of a free stage, thus preventing the pitching during the traveling of the free stage. CONSTITUTION:A movable guide 2 in the X-axis direction and a movable guide 3 in the Y-axis direction are supported in slidable ways onto a surface plate 1, and the both edges are joined by connecting members 22 and 32. An elliptical hole 24 is formed onto the movable guide 2 in the X-axis direction, and the movable guide 3 in the Y-axis direction is allowed to penetrate. A free stage 4 is supported onto the crossing part, using the opposed surfaces of the guide members 21, 21, and 31, 31 as guide surfaces. Said free stage 4 is constituted from the collar walls 42 and 43 arranged in the vertical direction in a square cylindrical body 41, having a wafer driving mechanism 44 inside and a wafer stage 45 on the upper surface of the cylindrical body 41. Since the height of the both movable guides 2 and 3 and the height of the center of gravity of the stage 4 can be set equal in this constitution, the traveling characteristic can be improved, and the bearing gap can be easily adjusted.

<Summary of the Invention> The present invention provides an XY stage that includes a movable guide that reciprocates in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction on a surface plate, and a flexible stage provided at the intersection of both movable guides. The X-axis movable guide is constructed from a pair of parallel straight guide members, and an elongated hole is formed in the shaft body of one of the XY movable guides, and the other movable guide is passed through the other movable guide at right angles. The running characteristics of the stage are improved by supporting the flexible stage on straight guide members facing each other in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, and by making the height of the movable position of both movable guides and the height of the center of gravity of the stage completely the same. This improves responsiveness and simplifies assembly and adjustment work.

<Background of the Invention> As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, a conventional XY stage of this type has an X-axis movable guide 8a and a Y-axis movable guide 8b that reciprocate in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction on a surface plate 7. are arranged in a three-dimensional intersection, and a flexible stage 9 is movably supported at the intersection. This flexible stage 9 is formed with orthogonal guide grooves 91 and 92 that are vertically displaced, and an X-axis movable guide 8a and a Y-axis movable guide 8b are slidably supported on the guide grooves 91 and 92 via a bearing mechanism 93. , A wafer stage 96 equipped with a wafer drive mechanism 95 is mounted on the table 94 of the stage 9 .

However, in the XY stage having the above structure, since the XY movable guides 8a and 8b pass through the flexible stage 9 in a three-dimensional manner, the wafer stage 96 and its drive mechanism 9
5. It is essential to mount the L-shaped mirror 97 and the like on the table 94. Therefore, the movable positions of the XY movable guides 3a and 3b are different, and the center of gravity of the flexible stage 9 is at a high position relative to the movable positions of both movable guides. By becoming
Pitching motion during movement becomes large, leading to deterioration of running characteristics, and positioning and settling cannot be performed until the pitching motion is suppressed, resulting in the disadvantage that positioning and settling during step motion requires a long time. Moreover, it is difficult to orthogonally adjust the XY movable guides 3a and 3b, and in particular, there are eight bearing mechanisms 9 between the XY movable guides 8a and 8b and the stage 9.
3 are provided, and each bearing mechanism 93 has a relative relationship, making assembly and adjustment complicated. In other words, it is difficult to assemble all eight bearing mechanisms 93 so that they operate evenly, and
The stage 9 is not stable with respect to the movable guides 8a and 8b, and this is a major cause of yawing and pitching. Furthermore, since the installation of each bearing mechanism 93 and the adjustment of the bearing clearance are performed with the table 94 on the stage removed, the table 94 and the wafer stage 96, L
There were many problems such as the inability to set the bearing clearance to be completely the same due to the weight of the mirror 97 and the like.
