Abstract

The present invention provides an excimer laser subject to reduced vibration using a low-output fan. The excimer laser of the present invention includes a laser housing which encloses laser gas, a pair of main discharge electrodes arranged in the laser housing and adapted to generate electric discharge for producing laser oscillation, a cross-flow fan for producing a flow of laser gas between the main discharge electrodes, a shaft extending from the cross-flow fan and coaxial with its axis, and a bearing supporting the shaft to hold the fan on one end of the shaft. Since the cross-flow fan is supported on one end of its shaft, no bending stress due to the load on the bearing is applied to the fan, and thus the fan can be driven in a desirable condition.

[Background Art] Figs. 5 and 6 show a schematic configuration of a conventional excimer laser device. Fig. 5 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the excimer laser device, and Fig. 6 shows a Z-Z sectional view along Fig. 5. As shown in the figure, a conventional excimer laser device is provided with a pre-ionization electrode (not shown) for pre-ionization of the laser gas inside a laser container 101 that encloses a laser gas containing a tooth gas such as fluorine gas. ) To obtain a discharge capable of generating oscillations of laser light—for the main discharge electrodes 102, 102. In the laser container 101, a cross-flow fan 103 that forms a high-speed laser gas flow between the main discharge electrodes 102 and 102 is provided. The cross-flow fan 103 is provided with a rotating shaft that penetrates the inside of the device in the axial direction and projects at both ends. 104. The rotating shaft 104 is supported by the radial magnetic bearings 106 and 107 and the axial magnetic bearing 108 which are freely rotated in a non-contact manner at the two ends of the laser container. A motor 109 is provided at an end of the rotation shaft 104 passing through the radial bearing 107. In addition, in order to support the rotating shaft 1 04 of the cross-flow fan 03 when the radial magnetic bearings ι06, ι07 and axial magnetic bearings 108 are stopped, a protective bearing 1i is provided. The vibration of the laser light is obtained by applying a high voltage between the main discharge electrodes 102 and 102 to cause laser discharge to occur. The generated laser light is taken out of the laser container 101 through the windows i 05 and 105 provided on the side wall of the laser container 101.

A description of the invention (the laser gas in the two rooms is degraded, so the discharge characteristics are deteriorated, so that the laser device cannot be generated. Therefore The cross-flow fan 103 is used to circulate the laser gas in the laser container 101 to generate a laser gas flow between the main discharge electrodes 102 and 102. The laser gas between the main discharge electrodes 102 and 102 is frequently replaced and stabilized. The laser gas is rectified by the rectifying plate 112 and circulates uniformly between the main discharge electrodes 10 2 ′ 102 as shown by the arrow in FIG. 6. The device, because 轴 δ is placed inside the fan 103 and the rotating shaft 104 is placed, constitutes a problem of low fan efficiency (power applied by the fan to the laser gas / rotating shaft power). That is, because the magnetic bearing floats the rotating shaft support The magnetic bearing part constitutes a spring cover and mass system for the rotating shaft. Therefore, when the cross-flow fan rotates, the magnetic bearing part also vibrates, which causes bending stress on the cross-flow fan, especially because the magnetic bearing itself has a considerable amount of components on the rotating shaft side. The bending stress is very large. Moreover, due to the considerable weight of the rotor-side components of the magnetic bearing itself, the number of human natural vibrations (three dangerous speeds) of the rotor formed by the cross-flow fan 103 and its shaft. Reduce and approach the number of rotations of the cross-flow fan. If the number of rotations of the cross-flow fan in action 4 is close to the number of natural vibrations this time, the bending stress will increase with the vibration of the cross-flow fan. Therefore, the cross-flow fan has a structure. Reinforcement is necessary so that the rotating shaft passes through the cross-flow fan to reinforce its rigidity against bending. If an abnormality occurs, such that the rotating shaft 104 cannot be supported by a magnetic bearing, the rotating shaft 104 will fall on the protective bearing ii〇 The impact when falling will increase the bending stress of the convection fan. Because the bending k paper size is applicable to the family standard (CNS) A4 Grid (χ Norwegian public hair) ζ 312227 -------------------- — ^ --------- ^ — -------- ------------ (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) Α7 V. Description of the invention (3) Stress will deform the fan 103 and lose the rotation balance. A considerable amount of work time is wasted by carrying out balancing work or changing the cross-flow fan, etc. Because of this, the rotating shaft 104 is also penetrated through the cross-flow fan to increase the strength of the cross-flow fan. However, due to the above reasons, the rotating shaft 104 is penetrated through the cross-flow fan In the interior of 103, as shown in FIG. 6, since the laser gas circulates through the interior of the cross-flow fan 103, the rotating shaft 104 hinders the gas flow, thereby reducing the efficiency of the cross-flow fan. For example, the cross-flow fan 103 usually has a cross-flow fan efficiency of about 40%. When a cross-flow fan with an outer diameter of 0 D is internally provided with a 0, 2D rotating shaft 104, its efficiency will be reduced by about 20%. Since the rotating shaft 104 is an elongated shaft, it is easy to increase the amplitude with vibration. [Invention of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the problems described above, and aims to provide an excimer laser device that can solve the above-mentioned conventional quasi-laser devices, and has a small driving force and a slight vibration required by a cross-flow fan. . That is, the present invention provides: a laser container sealed with a laser gas; a main discharge electrode disposed in the laser container to obtain a discharge capable of generating laser light oscillation; and provided in the laser container to Forming a penetrating fan passing through the laser gas flow between the main discharge electrodes; a rotating shaft provided at one end in the axial direction of the penetrating fan and coaxial with the penetrating fan and protruding in a direction away from the penetrating fan; and a support An excimer laser device characterized by a bearing device that holds the cross-flow fan with a single-sided support beam type against the rotation axis. Because this device supports the cross-flow fan with a single-sided support beam type, it is not necessary (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs

Therefore, only the bending moment formed by the weight of the cross-flow fan 3 acts on the cross-flow fan 3, and there is no risk that the excessive bending moment acts on the cross-flow fan 3 as in the conventional device. When the bearings are supported with the orienting magnetic bearings 9 and 10 and the axial magnetic bearings u, the bearing distance is substantially the same when the protective shafts 13 and 14 are used to support the rotary shaft 4. Therefore, any one of the bearings is used to support the rotary shaft. 4. The dangerous speed will not change much. That is, when the protective bearings 13 and 14 are mounted, the rotor constituted by the cross-flow fan 3 and the rotating shaft 4 can rotate stably with less vibration. Radial magnetic bearings 9, 10, axial magnetic bearings, and motor 12 are also arranged, so that the axial position of the center of gravity of the rotor constituted by k fan 3 and% rotating shaft 4 is between the two radial magnetic bearings 9, 10 Electromagnet target (9b & 10b) (between XY). With the above configuration, the radial magnetic bearings 9 and 10 can support equally. What's more, because the motor 12 is disposed between the radial magnetic bearings 9, 10, the two radial magnetic bearings 9, 10 can Effectively suppress the radial vibration generated by the motor i 2. As described above, since the cross-flow fan 3 is supported by a single-side support beam type, the bending rigidity of the rotating shaft 4 can be increased regardless of the bending rigidity of the cross-flow fan. Therefore, it is preferable that the rotation shaft 4 has a large longitudinal elasticity, and is preferably made of a material having corrosion resistance to laser gas, such as austenite-based stainless steel, because it is installed in the laser container 1. The rotation axis 4 and the U-scale are applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21〇X 297 —: —- ^ -------- ^ ------------- ------------------- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) 478222 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Consumption Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 8) The fan fan 3 has nothing to do with the air supply performance, so it can be increased in rigidity by increasing the shaft diameter or using a hollow shaft. The cross fan 3 and the rotating shaft 4 can be separately manufactured and then connected with a connecting mechanism such as a bolt to form a rotor. It can be manufactured at low cost and has good assembly and maintenance properties. Furthermore, since the rotary shaft 4 can be formed short, it is easy to suppress the amplitude of vibration. The steerable magnetic bearing 9 is composed of an electromagnet 9a, an electromagnet target 9b, and a warp change. Position sensor 9c and sensor target 9d. Radial magnetic bearing 10 is composed of electromagnet 10a, electromagnet stem 10b, radial displacement sensor ioc and sensor stem ioc.

The motor 12 i2, the electromagnet 9a, The facing surface of i〇a and the radial displacement sensor% and i〇c and the rotor are covered with a can 15 (can), and the facing surface of the rotor 12 b of the motor 12 and the mule is also covered with a can 1 covering. Figure 2 shows the structure of a cross-flow fan used in the excimer laser device of the present invention. The cross-flow fan 3 is composed of a plurality of blades 3a and a plurality of annular plates 于. A plurality of holes or notches 3c are provided in the part for inserting the blade 3a. The blade 3a is a hole or notch 3c inserted into the annular plate 3b, and is fixed to the annular plate by means of fitting or welding to form a gap-shaped cross-flow fan 3 〇 >> The clothes-like plate 3b is used to suppress the deformation of the blade due to the centrifugal force caused by the rotation and maintain the strength of the cross-flow fan, and the more the number is, the stronger it is. It can be any number. To ensure the strength of torsion and bending, set the center of the cross-flow fan to a paper size relative to 1 paper ~ 8 312227 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Φ ____ ^- -1 !!! I I ------- I ------------- 478222 A7 V. Description of the invention (9) Outer diameter of flow fan D is 0.0 The slender shaft with a degree of 5D may be a reinforcing material. According to the excimer laser device of the present invention, the cross-flow fan 3 is preferably made as light as possible on the rotor. Therefore, the blade 3a and the ring plate 讣 are lightweight. For high-strength aluminum alloys, it is best to perform nickel-plating (Ni) or the like to form a corrosion-resistant surface that is resistant to lightning gas. Figures 3 and 4 each show the second and third implementations of the present invention. An example of the configuration of an excimer laser device. In these figures, the same parts as in the figure are shown. The excimer laser device shown in FIG. 3 has two cross-flow fans 3 having a structure in which a rotating shaft is provided at one end in the axial direction in a laser container ι. The respective rotating shafts 4 of the two cross-flow fans 3 are the radial magnetic bearings 9, 10 provided by the housings 6, 6 provided at the ends of both sides of the laser container, and the axial magnetic properties provided by the axial housings 7, 8 The bearing is rotatably supported in a non-contact manner, and a driving force is supplied to the rotary shaft 4 by the motor 12. The two cross-flow fans 3, 3 are integrated settings in the axial direction, so that the two cross-flow fans 3, 3 operate at about the same number of rotations, so that the main discharge electrode 2, 2 has a uniform laser over the entire length of the long side. Gas flow. Since the two cross-flow fans 3 are arranged in the above manner, the axial length of the cross-flow fans 3 can be shortened (about half), and the weight is also reduced, so that the vibration characteristics of the rotor are better. The load on the radial magnetic bearing 9 provided between the cross-flow fan 3 and the motor 12 can be reduced. As a result, the high-speed rotation of the cross-flow fan 3 and the miniaturization of the magnetic bearing are facilitated. The excimer laser device of FIG. 4 uses a cross-flow fan 3 having a structure in which the rotating shafts 4a and 4b are projected at the ends on both sides in the axial direction. The rotation axis 4a of one side is 312227. The paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (21 × 297 mm) 478222 A7.
