的影響進行高精密度之定位,同時避免機械性之摩擦而延 4 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) ; , f--------訂---------線 I (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填窝本頁) A7 _________Β7___ 五、發明說明(L) 長晶圓之壽命,開發了將裝載晶圓之平台h非接觸之方式 驅動於2維方向,據以定位晶圓之平台裝置。作爲此種非 接觸驅動之平台裝置之驅動源,以將例如可變磁性阻尼驅 動方式之線性脈衝馬達結合2軸份之構造的平面馬達較爲 人知。 然而,在使用上述之可變磁性阻尼驅動方式之平面馬 達以構成精密之定位平台時,雖需要用以使該平台浮起之 空氣軸承等之軸承,但由於可變磁性阻尼驅動方式之平面 馬達係以磁性吸引力作爲其驅動原理,因此可動構件與固 定構件之間隔設定的非常小,兩者間之磁性吸力成爲藉空 氣軸承以使平台浮起之力量的抵抗力,因此用以使平台浮 起之空氣供給量以及供給該空氣之空氣幫浦之消耗電力增 加。 除此之外,亦開發有藉將線性馬達展開於2維方向之 羅倫茲電磁力驅動之平面馬達(參照例如美國專利(USP)第 5196745號公報)。此種羅倫茲電磁力式之平面馬達,由於 具有優異之控制性、推力線形及定位性,因此被認爲將來 會是非常好的平台驅動源。然而,對此種羅倫茲電磁力驅

述驅動力產生裝置中之鄰接的驅動力產生裝置間,且以前 述位置關係之關係配置’對前述移動面噴出流體之複數的 軸承(56)。 據此,由於可動構件,具備有互以滿足既定之位置關 係的方式配置之複數個驅動力產生構件及配置於前述驅動 力產生裝置中之鄰接的驅動力產生裝置間,且以前述位置 關係之關係配置’對前述移動面噴出流體之複數的軸承, 故能藉由自該複數個軸承對移動面所噴出之流體的靜壓,

此情形中,前述軸承,亦可是對前述移動面噴出加壓 氣體之氣體靜壓軸承。此時,能藉由自該氣體靜壓軸承所 噴出之加壓氣體的靜壓而使可動構件浮起支撐於移動面上 〇 · 7 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4視格(210x 297公釐) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 裝---- 訂---------線 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 A7 B7____ 五、發明說明($ ) 此情形中,前述可動構件(51),係具_前述複數個驅 動力產生構件(54u〜54mi)爲配置在對向於前述移動面(21a) 之面側的矩形支撐構件(52)時,最好是能在位於該支撐構 件之4角的前述鄰接之驅動力產生構件間配置前述氣體靜 壓軸承。此係由於平面馬達裝置中,如上述般藉加壓氣體 之靜壓使可動構件浮起支撐於移動面之上時,可動構件, 正確來說,氣體靜壓軸承之軸承面與移動面間之間隙(所謂 之軸承間隙)的尺寸於可動構件之沿移動面之移動中不應有 預期外之變化,亦即要求對交差於對抗可動構件之加速的 移動面之方向的姿勢位置變化的剛性較高,然而於矩形之 支撐構件上於2維方向以既定間隔配置複數個驅動力產生 構件、亦即成矩陣狀時,在位於其4角之鄰接的驅動力產 生構件間配置氣體靜壓軸承時,能使前述剛性非常高之故 〇 此種情形中,氣體靜壓軸承,可在位於支撐構件4角 之鄰接的驅動力產生構件間各配置1個,亦可在位於前述 支撐構件(52)4角部份之鄰接的驅動力產生構件間分別配置 複數個前述氣體靜壓軸承。 本發明之平面馬達裝置,當使用氣體靜壓軸承作爲配 置於鄰接的驅動力產生構件之軸承時,可自外部之氣體供 給源直接、個別的供給加壓氣體,但前述支撐構件(52), 亦可於其內部具有儲藏供給至前述各氣體靜壓軸承(56)之 加壓氣體之氣體儲藏空間(70)。此時,由於能於支撐構件 內部之氣體儲藏空間內透過1個或少數之氣體供給管供給 8 本纸張尺度適j t國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公爱) ' (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 裝------ 訂---------線 經濟部智慧財產局MC工消費合作社印製 43 91 1 6 A7 _____B7 五、發明說明(^ ) 氣體,且能將暫時儲藏於該氣體儲藏空間I之加壓氣體供給 至各氣體靜壓軸承,因此能大致均一地將加壓氣體分配供 給至各氣體靜壓軸承。 本發明之平面馬達裝置,當使用氣體靜壓軸承作爲配 置於鄰接的驅動力產生構件之軸承時,前述各氣體靜壓軸 承(56)之軸承面,最好是具有剛性較高、衰減較大形狀之 溝。此時,由於作爲各氣體靜壓軸承係使用其軸承面具有 剛性較高、衰減較大形狀之溝者,因此設置複數個該氣體 靜壓軸承之可動構件之靜特性當然好之外,移動時之動特 性亦良好。特別是,由於衰減、亦即振動衰減特性會對可 動構件移動時之制動特性(定位特性)造成影響,因此對可 動構件之定位完成時間之縮短,是非常重要的。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消费合作社印製 <請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 線 此時,前述軸承面最好是呈正方形,而前述溝形狀爲 包含沿前述軸承面4邊分別形成之第1溝(57a)及將此4個 第1溝互相連接之十字形之第2溝(57B)的形狀者較佳。此 係因氣體靜壓軸承之包含振動衰減特性的動特性,其性質 無法從理論上進行推測,因此除實際進行測定以求出外別 無他法,發明者針對溝形狀進行種種實驗後之結果,上述 溝形狀之氣體靜壓軸承之剛性最高且衰減較大之故。 本發明之平面馬達裝置,使用氣體靜壓軸承作爲前述 軸承時,亦可於前述各氣體靜壓軸承(56)上設置用以調整 前述加壓氣體之噴出流量的流量調整機構(5k、59)。此時 1即使在氣體靜壓軸承之製造、加工時產生特性之不均現 象’亦能藉使用流量調整機構進行各氣體靜壓軸承之加壓 9 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) A7 B7 五、發明說明(7 ) 氣體之噴出流量的調整,以使複數個氣體#壓軸承之特性 均一化。 本發明之平面馬達裝置中,前述複數個驅動力產生構 件可以是電樞線圈或電磁鐵,當前述複數個驅動力產生構 件係永久磁石(54)時,前述各氣體靜壓軸承(56)之軸承面’ 最好是較前述各永久磁石之磁極面更凸出於前述移動面 (21a)側。此時,能更容易的進行設置於可動構件之複數的 氣體靜壓軸承之軸承面之平坦度的管理。 本發明之平面馬達裝置,使用氣體靜壓軸承作爲前述 軸承時,將前述各氣體靜壓軸承(56)之軸承面硏磨爲同一 平面亦可。此時,由於複數個氣體靜壓軸承(56)之軸承面 ,係被硏磨爲同一平面,因此能確保以各軸承面所形成之 可動構件側導引面之均一的平坦度。 本發明之平面馬達裝置中,前述複數個驅動力產生構 件可以是電樞線圈或電磁鐵,但亦可以是永久磁石。此情 形中,於固定構件上設置電樞線圈。 本案之第2發明,係本發明平面馬達裝置之組裝方法 ,其特徵在於,包含:於保持平坦之基盤上、將構成前述 可動構件(51)之前述複數個軸承以既定之位置關係排列的 第1步驟,以及將以第1步驟排列於基盤上之前述複數個 軸承與前述複數個驅動力產生構件(54Μ〜54ηη)之相對位置 關係調整爲所期望之狀態、並固定此兩者之位置關係的第 2步驟。 根據上述方法,第1步驟中,於保持平坦之基盤上, 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 x 297公釐) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁)

However, when a flat motor using the variable magnetic damping driving method described above is used to form a precise positioning platform, although a bearing such as an air bearing for floating the platform is required, the flat motor using the variable magnetic damping driving method The magnetic attraction is used as its driving principle, so the interval between the movable member and the fixed member is set very small. The magnetic attraction between the two becomes the resistance of the force that causes the platform to float by air bearings, so it is used to make the platform float The amount of air supplied and the power consumption of the air pump supplying the air increase. In addition, a plane motor driven by a Lorentz electromagnetic force that expands a linear motor in a two-dimensional direction has also been developed (see, for example, United States Patent (USP) No. 5196745). This type of Lorentz electromagnetic force type planar motor is considered to be a very good platform drive source in the future due to its excellent controllability, thrust linearity and positioning. However, for this type of Lorentz electromagnet-driven planar motor, when it is used as the driving source of the platform, it is also necessary to develop new technologies to reduce the power consumption for floating the platform. In addition, with the increase in the size of wafers, the wafer tables used to maintain wafers have also become larger and heavier. Therefore, the planar motors that drive them are also required to have high thrust, which in turn results in larger motors and power consumption. Increased unfavorable conditions.

Description of the invention (4) Fixed member (60) of moving surface (21a), and movable member (51) moving along the aforementioned movement ), Characterized in that the movable member includes a plurality of driving force generating members (5411 to 54nn) arranged in such a manner as to satisfy a predetermined positional relationship with each other, and an adjacent driving force generating member arranged in the driving force generating device. A plurality of bearings (56) for ejecting fluid to the moving surface are arranged between the devices and in a positional relationship. According to this, the movable member is provided with a plurality of driving force generating members arranged so as to satisfy a predetermined positional relationship with each other, and an adjacent driving force generating device disposed in the driving force generating device, and in the positional relationship. The relationship configuration is that a plurality of bearings ejecting fluid on the moving surface, so that the movable member can be floated and supported on the moving surface by the static pressure of the fluid ejected from the plurality of bearings on the moving surface. The arrangement area of the plurality of driving force generating members is a small, lightweight movable member having a substantially equal size and area, thereby reducing the power consumption for driving and floating the movable member, and improving the position controllability of the movable member. In this case, the plurality of driving force generating members may be arranged on a surface opposite to the moving surface of the movable member at a predetermined interval in a two-dimensional direction, and the plurality of bearings may be arranged in the plurality. Among the driving force generating members, the driving force generating members are adjacent to each other. In this case, the bearing may be a gas static pressure bearing that ejects a pressurized gas to the moving surface. At this time, the movable member can be floated and supported on the moving surface by the static pressure of the pressurized gas ejected from the gas static pressure bearing.

Description of the invention ( $) In this case, the aforementioned movable member (51), the rig__ the plurality of driving force generating members (54u ~ 54mi) are rectangular supporting members (52) arranged on the side opposite to the aforementioned moving surface (21a) In this case, it is preferable that the aerostatic bearing be disposed between the adjacent driving force generating members located at the four corners of the supporting member. This is because in the planar motor device, when the movable member is floated and supported on the moving surface by the static pressure of the pressurized gas as described above, the movable member, correctly speaking, between the bearing surface and the moving surface of the aerostatic bearing The size of the gap (so-called bearing gap) should not be unexpectedly changed during the movement of the movable member along the moving surface, that is, the rigidity of the change in attitude and position that intersects the direction of the moving surface that opposes the acceleration of the movable member is required. It is high, but when a plurality of driving force generating members are arranged at predetermined intervals in a two-dimensional direction on a rectangular supporting member, that is, in a matrix form, when aerostatic bearings are arranged between adjacent driving force generating members located at the four corners thereof In this case, the aforesaid rigidity can be made very high. In this case, the aerostatic bearing can be arranged one by one between the adjacent driving force generating members located at the four corners of the support member, or it can be located at the support member (52). A plurality of the aforementioned aerostatic bearings are respectively arranged between adjacent driving force generating members of the four corner portions.

At this time, since each of the aerostatic bearings uses a groove having a high rigidity and a large attenuation on the bearing surface, the static characteristics of a plurality of movable members of the aerostatic bearing are naturally good. When moving, The dynamic characteristics are also good. In particular, since damping, that is, vibration damping characteristics, affects braking characteristics (positioning characteristics) when the movable member moves, it is very important to shorten the positioning completion time of the movable member. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs < Please read the notes on the back before filling this page). At this time, the bearing surface is preferably square, and the groove shape includes four sides along the bearing surface. The shape of the first groove (57a) formed and the cross-shaped second groove (57B) connecting the four first grooves to each other are preferred. This is because the dynamic characteristics of the hydrostatic bearing include vibration attenuation characteristics, and its properties cannot be speculated theoretically.

In addition, the position controllability of the movable member of the planar motor assembled in this manner can be improved. In this case, when it is further included in the third step of mounting the plurality of driving force generating members on the supporting member (52) before the second step, the second step may be performed on the plurality of the substrates arranged on the base plate. The bearings are loaded on the bearings through the sealing member (66), the relative positional relationship between the plurality of bearings and the support members is adjusted to a desired state, and the plurality of bearings and the support members can be fixed. At this time, in the second step, since a plurality of bearings arranged on the base plate are loaded with a support member in which a plurality of driving force generating members are mounted in advance through a sealing member, the relative positional relationship between the plurality of bearings and the support member is adjusted. The two are fixed in a desired state, so the relative positional relationship between the plurality of bearings and the support member arranged on the base plate is adjusted through the sealing member, and the result is that the plurality of bearings and the plurality of driving force generating members can be adjusted at one time.

Description of the invention (4) The two parts of the shaft portion Wb of the moving surface 21a). As shown in FIG. 8, the shaft portion 57 b of the bearing body 57 has a small hole 57 c forming a passage for pressurized gas (pressurized gas in this embodiment) in the up-down direction. The upper end of this small hole 57 c is formed. A female thread is formed, and the lower end of the small hole 57c is connected to a groove (pad groove) 57e formed on the bottom surface (bearing surface) of the pad portion 57a of the bearing body 57. Next, a pad groove shape of the pad portion 57a will be described. According to the results of the inventor's experiments, this pad groove shape is the groove shape having the strongest rigidity and excellent vibration damping effect. That is, in this embodiment, an air cushion 56 having a cushion groove 57e having a shape as shown in Fig. 9B on the bearing surface (pad surface) is used. The pad groove 57e 'includes four first grooves 57g formed along the four sides of the square bearing surface, and a cross-shaped second groove 57h connecting the four first grooves 57g to each other. The center of the cross of the second groove 57h is formed with a circular recess slightly deeper than the cushion groove 57e, and the center of the circle is provided with an ejection port of one of the openings of the small hole 57c. Since the dynamic characteristics of the vibration attenuation characteristics of a gas static pressure bearing including an air cushion are not theoretically inferable, the inventors tried to produce a structure including a cushion groove shape as shown in Figs. 9A to 9D. As a result of the measurement of the vibration damping characteristics of the air cushion of the square cushion portion, it is found that the air cushion 56 of this embodiment as shown in FIG. 9B considers the static characteristics such as rigidity and the dynamic characteristics of the vibration attenuation characteristics (including Transfer function characteristics) and other comprehensive characteristics. In addition, the air cushion in FIG. 9A is not ideal because it has to be provided with four ejection outlets. Alternatively, the shape of the air cushion in FIG. 9C ′ to FIG. 9D may be used. 27 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm)

Into the gas storage space 70. In addition, since the pressurized air temporarily stored in the gas storage space 70 is supplied to each air cushion 56, the pressurized air can be distributed and supplied to each air cushion 56 substantially uniformly. At this point, a plurality of air cushions can also be provided. Uniform characteristics. In addition, in this embodiment, since the bearing surface of the air cushion 56 is more protruded than the magnetic pole surface of the permanent magnets 54H to 54nn constituting the permanent magnet group, the moving surface 21a can be easily aligned. The flatness of the bearing surface of each air cushion is managed. When assembling the movable member, the air cushions 56 are arranged on a base plate (the base 21 in the foregoing embodiment) provided with flat management in a predetermined positional relationship, and the air cushions 56 arranged on the base 21 are arranged.

For example, when an electron beam is used, lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) and sister (Ta) can be used as the electron gun. Furthermore, when an electron beam is used, a configuration using a photomask or a configuration in which a pattern is formed on a substrate by direct drawing with an electron beam without using a photomask may be used. That is, as long as it is an electron beam exposure device using an electron optical system as the exposure optical system, it does not matter whether it is a beam beam type, a variable beam type, a cell projection type, or a blanking light. Either a blanking aperture (Blanking aperture) type or an EBPS (Electron beam paramatic) type, the present invention can be used. As the vacuum ultraviolet light, ArF excimer laser light, F2 laser light, etc. are used, but it is not limited to this. Laser light of a single wavelength in an infrared region or a visible region emitted from a DFB semiconductor laser or an optical fiber laser may also be used. For example, an optical fiber amplifier such as Er (or both bait and mirror) is used to increase the amplitude, and a non-linear optical crystal is used to transform the harmonics of the wavelength of ultraviolet light. For example, if the oscillation wavelength of a single-wavelength laser is set in the range of 1.51 to 1.59, the output will generate 8 times higher harmonics in the range of 189 to 199 nm, or 10 times in the range of 151 to 159 nm. Higher harmonics. Especially when the oscillation wavelength is set in the range of 1.544 ~ 1.553 / zm, it can obtain 8 times higher harmonics with a wavelength in the range of 193 ~ 194nm, that is, ultraviolet light with approximately the same wavelength as the ArF excimer laser light. If the oscillation wavelength is set in the range of 1.57 ~ 1.58 ^ m, 10 times higher harmonics in the range of 157 ~ 158nm can be obtained, that is, ultraviolet light with the same wavelength as the laser light . In addition, if the oscillation wavelength is set in the range of 1.03 to 1.12 / zm, 39 paper standards are applicable to 3 national standards (CNS) A4 specifications (21 × X 297 mm) 1111 J --- 11111 Order — I — One III-I (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) A7 B7 V. Description of the invention 〇Ί) 'That is, the output wavelength is 7 times higher harmonics within the range of 147 ~, especially when the oscillation wavelength is set to 1.099 ~ When it is within the range of 1.106 " m, it can obtain 7 times higher harmonics with a wavelength in the range of 157 ~ 158nm, that is, ultraviolet light with approximately the same wavelength as F2 laser light. At this time, for example, a mirror-doped fiber laser can be used as the single-wavelength laser. The configurations of the illumination optical system and the projection optical system described in the foregoing embodiments are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the magnification of a projection optical system does not have to be a reduction system, but any of an equal magnification or an expansion system may be used. As a projection optical system, if far-ultraviolet rays such as excimer lasers are used, materials such as quartz or fluorite that can penetrate far-ultraviolet rays can be used as glass materials. If F2 lasers or X-rays are used, they are used. The optical system of the reflective refracting system or the reflective system (the reflective plate also uses reflective objects). Furthermore, if an electron beam is used, an electronic optical system composed of an electronic lens and a deflector may be used. It is needless to say that the light path through which the electron beam passes must be in a vacuum state. Further, in an exposure apparatus using vacuum ultraviolet light (VUV light) having a wavelength of 200 nm or less, it is also possible to consider using a reflective refractive system as a projection optical system. As this reflection-refraction type projection optical system, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-171054 and US Patent No. 5686672, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-20195 and corresponding US can be used.
