Abstract
Description
本願は、2009年10月28日に出願された米国仮出願第61/272,745号に基づき優先権を主張しその内容をここに援用する。
図7A及び7Bは、本実施形態の搬送ハンド12及びトレイTの概略構成を説明する図であり、図7Aは図2のA-A’線に沿う断面に対応する模式的な断面図、図7Bは図7Aのα部の拡大図である。図8A及び8Bは、本実施形態のトレイ支持部52及びトレイTの概略構成を説明する図であり、図8Aは図4のB-B’線に沿う断面に対応する模式的な断面図、図8Bは図8Aのβ部の拡大図である。
トレイ側配線23は、一端が振動アクチュエータVAの端子部VATに接続され、他端がトレイ側端子部22に接続されることで、トレイTの下面に露出したトレイ側端子部22と載置部20内部に配置された振動アクチュエータVAの端子部VATとを電気的に接続している。
図10(a)に示すように、複数の基板支持ピン510bによって支持された基板P0は、基板支持ピン510bによって支持されていない部分が下方に撓んだ状態になっている。この状態で、トレイ支持部520を上昇させ、トレイ支持ピン520bによって支持されたトレイT0を上昇させる。
その後、搬送ハンド1200を移動させ、基板P0を載置したトレイT0を、図11に示す基板ホルダ900の上方へ向けて搬送する。
図11(a)に示すように、搬送ハンド1200により基板P0を基板ホルダ900の上方へ搬送した後、搬送ハンド1200を下降させる。すると、図11(b)に示すように、トレイT0は、基板ホルダ900の溝部300に収容され、基板P0は基板ホルダ900上に載置される。このとき、基板P0は最も下方に撓んだ部分から基板ホルダ900と接触する。
図12(a)~(c)は、本実施形態の露光装置1の搬出入部5からトレイTへ基板Pを受け渡す工程を説明する模式図である。
図12(a)に示すように、複数の基板支持ピン51bによって支持された基板Pは、基板支持ピン51bによって支持されていない部分が下方に撓んだ状態になっている。
次に、基板Pを露光処理が実施される温度に調整した後、トレイTの下方に配置した搬送ロボット4の搬送ハンド12を上昇させる。
搬送ロボット4は、図13(a)に示すように、搬送ハンド12により基板Pを基板ホルダ9の上方へ搬送し、トレイTと溝部30との位置合わせを行った後、図2に示す駆動装置13を駆動させ、搬送ハンド12を下降させる。すると、図13(b)に示すように、トレイTは基板ホルダ9の溝部30に収容され、基板Pは基板ホルダ9上に載置される。このとき、基板Pは最も下方に撓んだ部分から基板ホルダ9の保持部31(図3参照)と接触する。
基板ホルダ9に基板Pが載置された後、図2に示すマスクMは照明系により露光光ILで照明される。露光光ILで照明されたマスクMのパターンは、基板ホルダ9に載置されている基板Pに投影光学系PLを介して投影露光される。
露光装置1では、上述のように基板ホルダ9上に良好に基板Pを載置することができるため、基板P上の適正な位置に所定の露光を高精度に行うことができ、信頼性の高い露光処理を実現できる。また、露光装置1では、上述のようにトレイT及び基板ホルダ9に対する基板Pの受け渡しを円滑に行うことができるため、基板Pに対する露光処理を遅延なく行うことができる。
図14に示すように、本実施形態のトレイT1は、図7A及び図7Bに示す振動アクチュエータVA及びトレイ側給電部ETが設けられてない点で第1実施形態において説明したトレイTと異なっており、その他の点はトレイTと同様に設けられている。
図15に示すように、本実施形態の搬出入部5aのトレイ支持部52は、トレイ支持部52を昇降させる支持部アクチュエータ(アクチュエータ、振動発生部)71と、支持部アクチュエータを制御する支持部制御部(制御部、振動発生部)72と、を有している。
各種サブシステムから露光装置への組み立て工程は、各種サブシステム相互の、機械的接続、電気回路の配線接続、気圧回路の配管接続等が含まれる。この各種サブシステムから露光装置への組み立て工程の前に、各サブシステム個々の組み立て工程があることはいうまでもない。各種サブシステムの露光装置への組み立て工程が終了したら、総合調整が行われ、露光装置全体としての各種精度が確保される。なお、露光装置の製造は温度およびクリーン度等が管理されたクリーンルームで行うことが望ましい。
