Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable stable exposure by removing the destruction of a lamp due to the accumulation of heat or unstable intensity of illumination due to supercooling by adjusting the ventilation in a housing according to the detected voltage or the detected current of the lamp. CONSTITUTION:When high-frequency high voltage is applied to the extra-high voltage mercury lamp 2 in a housing 1 from a power source 7, a discharge is generated in the lamp 2, the vapor pressure of mercury is gradually made higher and the lamp is lit. The ultraviolet light generated from the lamp 2 is converged on a cold mirror 5 by a reflector 3 and is guided to an exposed object. The voltage of the lamp is gradually raised and the current of the lamp is gradually reduced. The voltage of the lamp cannot be raised sufficiently under a supercooling condition and the current of the lamp is not reduced sufficiently so the lamp is not supplied with rated power and the intensity of illumination is not increased. For this reason, the voltage of the lamp under the rated voltage is detected by a detector 11, e.g., the voltage of a fan 4 which ventilates the housing 1 is reduced by a fan controller 6 and if the number of revolution is reduced, the ventilation in the housing 1 is made weaker, the temperature of the lamp 2 is raised and the vapor pressure of the mercury is increased, the voltage of the lamp is increased and the intensity of illumination is maintained appropriately under the rated power.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a housing for an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp for a device that irradiates ultraviolet rays in the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices and the like.

[Prior Art] Various patterns used to manufacture semiconductor devices are formed by photolithography, and an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp (hereinafter simply referred to as a lamp) is used as a light source in this photolithography. The lamp emits strong ultraviolet rays, so it is placed inside the housing and turned on.

Since a lit lamp emits ultraviolet rays and high heat, the inside of the housing must be sufficiently ventilated and cooled. Cooling methods include natural ventilation and forced ventilation.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, the conventional cooling method requires constant cooling conditions, so if the shape of the lamp, especially the size of the lamp bulb, is constant, there may be variations in the lamp, such as whether it can be lit normally or not. If the size of the bulb changes due to a change in specifications, or if the shape of the lamp changes due to a change in lamp manufacturer, the housing may deviate from the heat strip 1 when it was designed, causing unstable lighting. There were some drawbacks.

In other words, if the cooling is too weak, heat will accumulate in the lamp itself, increasing the distortion of the lamp and eventually causing it to explode.If the cooling is too strong, some of the mercury that should have completely evaporated inside the lamp may be left unevaporated. As a result, the lamp could not operate stably and the illuminance became unstable.

An object of the present invention is to provide a housing that can stabilize the lighting conditions of the lamp housed inside.

[Differences between the invention and the prior art] In contrast to the above-mentioned conventional lamp housing where the cooling conditions are constant, the lamp housing according to the present invention detects the lighting state of the lamp and changes the cooling conditions to optimize the lighting conditions of the lamp. It has an original content of making it.

This is a housing for an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a main part of the present invention. When a high frequency and high voltage is applied from the power source 7 to the lamp 2 in the housing 1, discharge occurs within the lamp 2, and the mercury vapor pressure gradually increases, resulting in a lighting state. The ultraviolet light emitted from lamp 2 is reflected
3, the light is focused on a cold mirror 5 and guided to the object to be exposed. Figures 2(a) and 2(b) show the lamp voltage and lamp current from the time the voltage was applied until the lamp was lit or stabilized. As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the lamp voltage gradually increases and the lamp current gradually decreases. For example, in a 350W lamp, the lamp voltage is approximately 60W.
The v1 lamp current stabilizes at 5.5 to 6△1. However, in a supercooled state, the lamp voltage cannot rise enough and therefore the lamp current cannot fall enough, so the lamp is not supplied with power to its rated value and the illuminance decreases. Not from -1.

(Embodiment 1) Therefore, in Embodiment 1 according to the present invention, the detection unit 11 detects a lamp voltage lower than the rated voltage, and the voltage applied to the fan 4 that ventilates the housing 1 is lowered by the fan control unit 6.
It controls the rotation of the fan 4. When the rotation speed of the fan 4 decreases, the ventilation within the housing 1 becomes weaker, the temperature of the lamp 2 increases, the mercury vapor pressure increases, the lamp voltage increases, and the illuminance is maintained properly under the rated power.

As mentioned above, ventilation in the housing 1 is carried out by rotating the fan 4 to take in air through the upper opening 10. The lighting state of the lamp 2 is detected from the power source 7 by the detection unit 11
