Abstract

The present invention aims to provide a stage device equipped with a stone table that can perform all the required functions in large-size product applications. The stage device made in accordance with the present invention uses static-pressure bearing pads (14a to 14c) to allow a supported moving object to slide along both the X-axis and the Y-axis directions on a surface-processed stone table. The size of the stone table is brought into a size corresponding to a sliding area of the moving object, and the stone table is fixed on either an iron-cast machine with a holder (100a) or a base (100) made of steel.

However, the surface of the stone platform 10 on which the hydrostatic bearing pad moves has a true flatness of several μm and is smoothly finished, but the range in which the static pressure pad moves, as shown in Fig. 3(a), is only Limited to a part of Shitai 10 comprehensive. On the other hand, in the case of a surface type positioning device for a liquid crystal exposure device, as the liquid crystal substrate is enlarged (the fifth generation substrate: xl 80 mm, the seventh generation substrate: 1 800 0 2 200 mm), The stone platform is shaped, and the fabrication of the stone platform of the integrated object becomes difficult. In other words, in the surface type positioning stage device used in the liquid crystal exposure apparatus, as the liquid crystal substrate to be exposed on the suction mechanism on the machine table is new, the substrate size is also increased. The composition of knowledge is likely to exceed the boundaries of production.

By this, the movement of the moving body 4 along the guiding member 2 is smoothly performed. Further, as shown in Fig. 1(b), one or more hydrostatic bearing pads 13 are provided on the bottom surface of the movable body 4 between the stone platform 20 and the movable body 4. Thereby, the movement on the stone platform 20 is smoothly performed. The above configuration is almost identical to the guide member 3 and the moving body 5. That is to say, the moving body 5 also has a hydrostatic bearing pad 12, 13°. Further, instead of the above-mentioned hydrostatic bearing pad, a so-called direct-coupling guide may be used instead of the movement described later. The same is true for the static bearing pads in the body 14. The moving body 4 and the moving body 5 are connected by a beam 6. The moving body 14 is disposed on the beam 6. The moving body 14 has the beam 6 as a guide and can be moved in the X-axis direction of Fig. 1(a). In Fig. 1(a), the square (8) 1261007 is shown in a state in which the upper portion of the movable body 14 is cut away. The moving body 14 is also moved by the above-described linear motor driving method. Therefore, the magnet device is assembled in the beam 6, and the moving body 14 has a movable coil that interacts with the magnet device. The moving body 14 has a cross-shaped U-shaped cross section across the beam 6; the inner surface thereof is provided with hydrostatic bearing pads 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d interposed between the beam 6 and the moving body 14. The hydrostatic bearing pads 14a, 14b, 14c are also disposed between the stone platform 20 and the moving body 14. That is, the hydrostatic bearing pads 14a to 14c are attached to the bottom surface of the moving body 14. The side surface of the beam 6 which becomes the guide surface of the moving body 14 is of course also subjected to surface finishing. Thereby, the moving body 14 is made to be smoothly movable along the beam 6 and can be smoothly moved on the stone platform 20. In other words, it is possible to move in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction. Further, a hydrostatic bearing pad 16 is provided on the bottom surface of the beam 6, between the beam 6 and the stone platform 20. Thereby, the beam 6 is made to be smoothly movable on the stone platform 20. In the above-described surface type positioning stage device, the moving body 14 is provided with a machine for carrying the object to be processed, or the moving body 14 itself is used as a machine. Further, when the object to be processed is a substrate-like object, the machine includes a suction mechanism constituted by a pressure reducing mechanism. Such a stage device is applied to, for example, a liquid crystal exposure device, but is not limited thereto, and can be applied to all stage devices that require an increase in size. Further, the above-described embodiment is a stage device in which the movable body 14 can move to both the X-axis and the Y-axis. However, the movable body 14 can be applied to only the X-axis and the Y-axis, which can be moved by one of the X-axis and the Y-axis. ) Stage device. In this case, a portion corresponding to the moving body 14 is fixed to the beam 6. Of course, there is no equivalent to the portion of the moving body 14 and the beam 6 itself may be used as a moving body. In this case, the portion 'composed of the moving bodies 4, 5 and the beam 6' may also be referred to as a moving body. The second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 2 . According to the stage device of the second embodiment, an image pickup device for inspecting a substrate to be processed placed on a stone platform is used as an inspection stage device. In the second drawing, the same portions as those in Fig. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a point at which the image pickup device 30 is carried on the beam 6-1 is added except that the substrate to be processed is placed on the stone platform 20. In this case, in order to hold the substrate to be processed, it is preferable to embed one or more absorbing mechanisms constituted by the pressure reducing mechanism in the stone platform 20. Further, the imaging device 30 is configured to be movable along the side surface of the beam 1 in the X-axis direction in the drawing and to move in the Z-axis direction perpendicular to the X-axis and the Y-axis. As a reason why the imaging device 30 can be moved in the Z-axis direction, for example, the imaging range can be made variable. The structure between the guiding member 2 and the moving body 4, the guiding member 3, and the moving body 5 may be exactly the same as in the first embodiment. Although a drive mechanism for making the movement in the X-axis and Y-axis directions is omitted in the drawing, an example thereof will be briefly described. By providing a guide member extending in the X-axis direction on the side surface of the beam 6-1, the X-axis drive source is used to move the movable portion along the guide member. Further, the movable portion carries the image pickup device 30 movable in the Z-axis direction via the Z-axis drive source. As an X-axis driving source, -12·1261007 (11) [Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, by improving the configuration of the base and the stone platform in the stage device, it is possible to provide a performance that not only satisfies the required performance, but also For example, a large stage device for substrate processing can be produced. This is because the size of the object to be processed such as the liquid crystal substrate is increased, and the size of the stone platform and the base is also increased. However, the size of the stone platform in the present invention is larger than that of the conventional stone platform. The increase is less.
