    摘要: A photoacoustic signal detecting device irradiates a modulated light on a sample (170) using focusing means (300, 400), detects a photoacoustic signal created in the sample using light interference detection means (310, 410) and finally displays the information relative to the surface and inside of the sample. The focusing means (300, 400) and light interference detection means (310, 410) are constructed in a confocal optical system, respectively, and a pin-­hole(s) is used to remove unnecessary high order dif­fraction light components around the light spot of the modulated light so that the photoacoustic signal can be detected with a high accuracy. Further, an auto-­focusing function (330, 430) is added to the photoacoustic signal detection so that the photoacoustic signal can be detected with a high accuracy also for a sample with rugged surface.

    摘要: Disclosed is a photoacoustic signal detecting apparatus and method. The photoacoustic signal detecting apparatus comprises a laser (31) emitting a laser beam, modulating means (32) for intensity-modulating the laser beam emitted from the laser to provide an intensity-modu­lated laser beam having a desired frequency, focusing means (39) for focusing the intensity-modulated laser beam on a sample (7) thereby inducing a photoacoustic effect inside the sample, detecting means (140) for detecting the photoacoustic effect in two-dimensional directions of the sample, composing means (160) for composing a two-dimensi­onal photoacoustic image on the basis of the detected photoacoustic effect, information extracting means (160) for extracting surface and internal information of the sample from the two-dimensional photoacoustic image, scanning means (140) for two-dimensionally scanning the laser beam from the sample or the laser, computing means (68) for computing a thermal impulse response of the sample, computing means (68) for computing, on the basis of the thermal impulse response, an inverse filtering fac­tor for compensating degradation of the resolution of the photoacoustic image, and means (68) for applying the com­puted inverse filtering factor to the detected photoacou­stic image.

    摘要: The present invention relates, in a projection aligner wherein a mask and a wafer are held proximate and wherein a circuit pattern depicted on the mask is transferred onto the wafer, to a method of detecting the respective positions of the mask and the wafer for the relative positioning between the mask and the wafer. To the end of dispensing with the withdrawal of a microscope objective in such a way that the objective of a microscope for detecting the mask and the wafer and projection light, for example, an X-ray are prevented from interfering, thereby to achieve the enhancement of throughput and to permit the detection of the positions of the mask and the wafer even during projection, the present invention consists in that the objective of the microscope is inclined with respect to a perpendicular to the plane of the mask or the plane of the wafer being a plane to-be-detected, so as not to interfere with the projection light, for example, the X-ray, whereby the circuit pattern can be transferred while the relative positions of the mask and the wafer are being detected.

    摘要: An X ray exposure process and system for transferring a mask (10) pattern (9) onto a wafer (11) with use of X ray, wherein heights on the mask at many points are measured on a light interference band basis by a mask-height masuring device (16) of non-contact measurement type at an X ray exposure position (13), said mask being mounted on a chamber (61) which is filled with a He gas and the like to prevent attenuation of an X ray source (14), heights on the wafer at many points are measured at a wafer-height measuring position defferent from said exposure position, and according to the measured results, the water is finely moved upward or downward (that is, deformed) individually independently by means of a chuck (22) which sucks and holds the wafer at many points thereon, whereby a gap (S') between the mask and wafer is adjusted to a desired level (S).
