When the elastic substrate 4 such as a long tape-shaped workpiece 4 a is held by the vacuum suction stage 1 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, it is between the holes 2 a and 2 a for vacuum suction, or a groove. There will be a bubble retention 3 between the groove 2 b and the groove 2 b, which may cause the band-shaped workpiece 4 a to partially swell and deform. In a state where such a bubble storage 3 is generated, for example, in a projection exposure device, if the circuit pattern formed on the photomask is projected on the band-shaped workpiece 4 a by a projection lens, the band-shaped workpiece 4 a The part where the bubble is stored 3 will be deviated from the position of the mask image to another position, and the projected image of the mask pattern will become blurred, resulting in poor resolution or variation in the size of the wiring pattern. And other conditions. In addition, the alignment mark printed on the photomask and the workpiece is detected by using an image processing device. Processing is performed when an exposure processing device is used to align the position of the photomask and the workpiece. If the part alignment mark (work mark) is raised as described above, the image of the work mark read by the image processing device will be distorted or blurred, making the image processing device unable to recognize it. Artifact mark. Therefore, since the mark image of the workpiece cannot be detected, the position of the mask and the workpiece cannot be aligned. However, the occurrence of the above-mentioned bubble retention was thought out using the following mechanical principles. That is to say, I-nr is placed on a flexible substrate, such as a strip-shaped workpiece 4a (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page).% Packing · This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) 8-4 specifications (210X297 mm) -6- 554404 A7 B7 V. Description of the Invention (4) When the belt-shaped workpiece is thin and easily deformed on the platform surface 1 a, it is impossible to combine the platform surface 1 a and the belt-shaped workpiece 4 a. The air in the room is completely pressed out, and the strip-shaped workpiece will be downloaded and placed on the platform surface 1 a only in a state of being enclosed with air. Then, if vacuum is supplied to the holes 2 a or the grooves 2 b for vacuum suction, on the strip-shaped workpiece 4 a, the parts located on the holes 2 a or the grooves 2 b for vacuum suction will be generated. The pressure difference between the atmospheric pressure, the strip-shaped workpiece 4 a will be pressed on the platform surface 1 a. At this time, if there is air remaining in the area surrounded by the hole 2a or the groove 2b, the deformation of the band-shaped workpiece will completely seal the air and become a bubble storage3. The present invention is an invention made based on the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an air-storage between the elastic substrate and the adsorption platform when the elastic substrate is held on the surface of the adsorption platform by vacuum adsorption. Adsorption platform device. [Means for solving the problem] The present inventor was located between the elastic substrate and the platform surface, and confirmed that many air bubbles would be stored in the area surrounded by the vacuum suction holes or grooves installed on the platform surface In order to keep the elastic substrate on the platform surface, if the vacuum suction hole or groove is supplied with a vacuum, the elastic substrate will be between the platform surface and the elastic substrate.

When the invention description (5), it will be adsorbed and fixed on the platform surface. At this time, if there is an area surrounded by holes or grooves for vacuum adsorption on the platform surface, the elastic substrate will be vacuumed before the air between the platform surface and the elastic substrate is completely removed.
