Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ultraviolet ray irradiation apparatus which is mainly used in the industry, and particularly relates to a device using a dielectric shield discharge excimer lamp or the like. [Prior Art] Φ One of the light sources of the ultraviolet irradiation device used in the above-mentioned industrial use is, for example, a xenon excimer lamp having an emission wavelength of 172 nm described in Patent Document 1, which is used for dry cleaning of a substrate for a liquid crystal panel. The excimer lamp system often uses a lamp having a double lamp structure, and the light-emitting portion extends in a tubular shape in the axial direction. When the substrate is cleaned, the substrate of the object to be irradiated moves on the conveyor at a predetermined speed. At least slightly above the substrate, the lamp is placed in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the conveyor flows. Since the entire width of the object to be irradiated is irradiated with one breath, and the substrate is moved at a predetermined speed, the entire substrate can be uniformly processed. On the other hand, in the field of semiconductor processing, processing and modification of the surface of a semiconductor wafer are often performed using ultraviolet light in each process. Therefore, the gas-excimer excimer emission having a wavelength of 172 nm, the excimer light emission of krypton gas having a wavelength of 22 nm, or the ultraviolet light of 254 nm such as a mercury resonance line is used in combination with each project. In such an ultraviolet lamp, a dielectric shielding discharge is often used for the discharge method, and Patent Document 2 describes an ultraviolet irradiation device for dielectric barrier discharge. In Patent Document 2, in order to reduce the electromagnetic noise wave caused by the dielectric shield discharge 5 2258-l〇21l-PF; and the Chent 200937492, and to improve safety, a boosting element is provided in the lamp housing, and on the other hand, A frequency converter that converts a commercial frequency into a high frequency is housed in another housing. [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 3,170,952, Patent Document 2, Japanese Patent No. 2775698, SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION The dielectric shield discharge lamp device of Patent Document 2 basically has a dielectric barrier reduction. The effect of electromagnetic noise waves caused by discharge. However, according to a more detailed experiment conducted by the applicant, it was confirmed that the problem which could not be solved by the method of the above Patent Document 2 was generated. In the known double tube type lamp, the inner electrode is formed on the inner side surface of the inner tube, and the outer electrode is formed on the outer side surface of the outer tube. When a high-frequency voltage of several kv is applied between the electrodes of the both sides, a dielectric shield discharge is generated in the discharge space between the inner tube and the outer side tube. Since a high voltage of several kV is applied between the electrodes, intense electromagnetic noise is generated each time the polarity is reversed between the electrodes. The dielectric barrier discharge, the faster the voltage rises when a voltage is applied, the better the luminous efficiency. Therefore, in order to perform a fast-rising rectangular wave drive, the FET #'s switching element converts the DC voltage into an AC rectangular wave, and applies a driving voltage to the lamp. However, according to the applicant's detailed experiments, it is known that several important problems occur when the lamp is lit. By rapidly raising the voltage, at this instant, the discharge 2258-10211-PF; Chentf 6 200937492 is continuously generated in an instant and for a short time, and the electric enthalpy change is larger, and the electromagnetic noise accompanying the generated discharge is also larger. According to the experiment, when the distance between the switching circuit and the lamp is deviated, there is a problem that a high luminous efficiency device cannot be obtained. This is presumed to be the addition of the conductive material, the frame and the outer covering of the frame, and the ground potential. When the influence of the capacity component is between, the voltage waveform finally applied to the lamp changes. In addition to the above, there are the following problems. By the AC rectangular wave voltage flowing through the conductive line, the electromagnetic noise wave is radiated to the outside through the conductive wire, which hinders the control circuit inside the frame. Moreover, electromagnetic noise waves are transmitted to the commercial line through the power line. In the double tube lamp, the inner electrode is located inside the outer electrode, and the outer electrode has a ground potential of a general level, and the electric wave is easily blocked in the discharge portion. On the other hand, there is also an electric lamp in the excimer lamp, in which a strip-shaped electrode is formed on the outer surface of the tube along the axial direction of the tube, and a high voltage is applied between the electrodes. . However, in the e single tube lamp, since both electrodes are formed outside, electromagnetic noise waves generated in the discharge portion cannot be shielded and radiated to the surrounding space. Therefore, in dielectric shielded discharge lamps (especially single-tube lamps), countermeasures against electromagnetic noise must be available. Means for Solving the Problem An ultraviolet ray irradiation apparatus according to the present invention emits ultraviolet ray to an object to be irradiated, and includes a discharge lamp that emits ultraviolet rays of excimer light by a dielectric shield discharge, and a lamp housing that houses a discharge lamp and has ultraviolet light penetration. Window to the outside; and power supply 'lighting discharge lamp' in the lamp housing or near the lamp housing, 2258-10211-PF; Chentf 7 200937492 is equipped with a DC voltage that will become part of the power supply to convert to high frequency The switching element 'and the boosting mechanism that raises the low voltage that is part of the power supply to a high voltage. For example, in addition to the above lamp housing, a low frequency low voltage AC power source or a low DC power source is provided. Here, the vicinity of the lamp housing indicates a position substantially equivalent to that provided inside the lamp housing, and for example, a structure in which only the lamp housing accommodating the discharge lamp is adjacent to the housing that accommodates the switching element and the boosting element. Further, it also includes a structure in which a partition plate is provided in the lamp housing and is housed in a separate casing. For the discharge lamp, for example, a strip-shaped electrode is provided on both sides of the shaft of the single tube, and an alternating voltage of a slightly rectangular wave is applied to the pair of electrodes. Electromagnetic noise that is easily radiated to the outside is indeed shielded by the above configuration as compared with the double-tube type discharge lamp. When the lamp housing is connected to a low voltage DC power source, the boosting mechanism is constituted by, for example, a transformer. Further, in the case of a low frequency AC power supply, the boosting mechanism is constituted by, for example, a Crocroft circuit. According to the present invention, even if the discharge lamp is lit by a high-frequency wave having a substantially rectangular wave or a high voltage, the generation of electromagnetic noise can be surely prevented, and a highly reliable ultraviolet irradiation device can be realized. Further, since the applied voltage is high enough, an ultraviolet ray irradiation apparatus having a high illuminance can be realized. In particular, since noise can be prevented even in a single-tube discharge lamp, a relatively inexpensive and inexpensive ultraviolet irradiation device can be provided. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 2258-l〇2H-pF; Chentf 8 200937492 Fig. 1 is a schematic view of the ultraviolet irradiation device of the first embodiment. The ultraviolet irradiation device has a lamp housing 1A made of a metal frame. A discharge lamp 12 is provided inside the lamp housing 10. The discharge lamp 12 is a dielectric-shielded discharge lamp made of synthetic quartz, which has a double cylindrical structure. That is, the inner tube constituting the dielectric shield is disposed coaxially with the outer tube (not shown), and a hollow cylindrical discharge space is formed therebetween. An electrode (not shown) having a light-transmitting conductive mesh is provided on the outer surface of the outer tube, and a thin film electrode (not shown) is provided inside the inner tube. A monomer of a rare gas or a mixed gas of a rare gas and a halogen gas is sealed in the discharge space. The illumination window 14 as a part of the lamp housing 10 is composed of a quartz plate and is disposed at a position facing the discharge lamp 12. A low-voltage DC power supply 20 including a power supply control circuit is disposed outside the lamp housing 10. On the other hand, the discharge lamp 12 is provided inside the lamp housing, and a switching circuit 16 composed of an FET or the like and a step-up transformer 18 are also provided. The low-voltage DC power source 20 is connected to the switching φ circuit 16 in the lamp housing 1 via the cable 22, thereby supplying power from the power source. The switching circuit 16 converts the waveform of the low DC voltage supplied from the low-voltage DC power supply 20 into a high-frequency AC rectangular wave. For example, the switching circuit i 6 includes a full-bridge converter (fuU bridge circuit) composed of four switching elements and a push pul 1 circuit composed of two switching elements. Moreover, it is also possible to combine a switching element and a step-up transformer to form a flyback inverter. The step-up transformer 18 boosts the parent-receiving rectangular wave voltage delivered from the switching circuit 16 via the cable 17 to a number kv. Then, the boosted high frequency voltage is applied to the discharge lamp 12 via the cable 15 via 2258-10211-PF; Chentf 9 200937492. In the discharge lamp 12_, excimer light is generated by the dielectric shielding discharge, whereby the ultraviolet rays are radiated to the outside through the irradiation window 14. Since the voltage change when the voltage is applied to the discharge lamp 12 is larger, the switching efficiency is better, and the switching circuit 丨6 converts the DC voltage as much as possible into a rectangular wave AC voltage having a fast rising speed or a large voltage variation. As a result, although a strong electromagnetic noise wave is generated when a voltage is applied, the switching circuit 16 and the step-up transformer 18, which are a part of the power supply mechanism, are disposed inside the lamp housing 1 and are mounted on the step-up transformer 18, which is slowed down. Electromagnetic noise waves such as line 15 are shielded to prevent radiation from being transmitted to the outside of the lamp envelope. Further, since the switching circuit 16 is provided inside the lamp housing 10, the AC rectangular wave voltage does not flow through the cable 22 located outside the lamp housing 1〇. Therefore, electromagnetic noise is not carried on the conductive line and leaks out to prevent transmission to the commercial line through the power line. Further, since the distance between the switching circuit 16 and the discharge lamp 12 is short, the voltage waveform applied to the discharge lamp 12 is stabilized, and the luminous efficiency is improved. Further, a control circuit for controlling the switching circuit 16 may be provided inside the low-voltage DC power supply 20, and the dimming control may be performed by transmitting a control signal to the switching circuit 16. By increasing the frequency, further high frequency driving can be achieved to obtain high illumination. Next, the ultraviolet irradiation apparatus of the second embodiment will be described using Fig. 2 . In the second embodiment, a single-tube type discharge lamp is provided while an AC power source is provided. The configuration other than this feature is substantially the same as the first embodiment. Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing an ultraviolet irradiation apparatus according to a second embodiment. 2258-10211-pF;chentf 10 200937492 The ultraviolet irradiation device has a lamp housing 3〇, and a discharge lamp 32, a Crocroft circuit 36, and a switching circuit are provided inside the lamp housing 3〇. A low-voltage AC power supply 4 is provided outside the lamp housing 30, and is connected to the Cockcroft circuit 36 via the cable 42. The discharge lamp 32 is a single-tube lamp that generates a dielectric shield discharge, which is made of quartz. On the outside of the lamp vessel, a pair of strip-shaped electrodes (not shown) are formed along the axial direction of the container. The Cockcroft circuit 36 is composed of a diode and a capacitor structure, and has a function of a boosting mechanism and a rectifying circuit. The switching circuit 38 has a control circuit 39, and the rectangular circuit is adjusted by the control circuit 39. Commercial power is supplied to the Cockcroft circuit 36 of the lamp housing 30 via the cable 42 by the low voltage AC power source 40. The Cockcroft circuit 36 converts the AC voltage into a high voltage of DC and delivers it to the switching circuit 38 via the cable 37. The switching circuit 38 converts the DC high voltage into a high frequency voltage of an AC rectangular wave. When a rectangular wave voltage which is rapidly lifted and the waveform is not collapsed is applied to the electrode of the discharge lamp 32 via the cable 35, the ultraviolet light is radiated to the outside through the irradiation window 34. Further, the switching circuit 38 is connected in series with a plurality of FETs, and the high voltage resistance operation can be realized by simultaneously performing ON-OFF. In the first embodiment, since a high-frequency rectangular wave voltage is applied to the lamp 32, the discharge area is increased, and a stable lighting operation with a large radiation output is realized, and ultraviolet light having excellent luminous efficiency can be performed. Further, even in the single-discharge lamp lamp 32, electromagnetic noise can be shielded in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and noise waves can be prevented from being radiated to the outside of the lamp envelope. In the first and second embodiments, although a low-voltage DC or AC power source is provided outside the lamp housing, the low-voltage power source is disposed inside the lamp housing 2258-10211-PF; Chentf 11 200937492. Further, the discharge lamp is separated from the circuit means such as the switching circuit and the step-up transformer, and the circuit means is housed in another casing and arranged in close proximity to the discharge lamp. Further, the casing for accommodating the circuit mechanism such as the step-up transformer may be provided in the vicinity of the lamp housing in which only the discharge lamp is housed, and may be connected by a short cable. It is also possible to supply the low-frequency AC power to the lamp housing without boosting the frequency of the commercial power supply. At this time, in the lamp housing, the full-wave rectifying circuit converts the voltage into a DC voltage, and the switching circuit converts it into a high-frequency rectangular wave voltage, which can be boosted by the boosting mechanism. The type of the dielectric barrier discharge lamp is not limited to the first and second embodiments. For example, a mixed gas of helium and gas may be enclosed to emit 3 〇 8 nm.
