    摘要: When a stage on which a wafer is mounted is driven in an X-axis direction by a liner motor, a reaction force of the drive force is generated at a stator and acts on a counterweight via the stator, and thereby the counterweight moves in a direction opposite to the stage in accordance with movement of the stage in the X-axis direction. Accordingly, the reaction force generated by the drive of the stage can substantially be canceled by the movement of the counterweight. Further, since the counterweight has a first section that is connected to the stator, and a second section that is separated from the first section in the X-axis direction and connected to the first section via a connection section, a partition wall of a chamber can be placed using the connected portion as a boundary, and the second section of the counterweight can be located outside the partition wall. Thus, a stage housing space can be set to smaller.

    摘要: A stage assembly for moving and positioning a device is provided herein. The stage assembly includes a stage base, a stage, a stage mover assembly, a reaction mass assembly, a reaction mover assembly, and a control system. The stage mover assembly moves the stage relative to the stage base. The reaction mass assembly reduces the reaction forces created by the stage mover assembly that are transferred to the stage base. The reaction mover assembly adjusts the position of the reaction mass assembly relative to the stage base. Uniquely, the control system controls and directs current to the reaction mover assembly in a way that minimizes the influence of disturbances created by the reaction mover assembly on the stage assembly. More specifically, the timing and/or the amount of current from the control system directed to the reaction mover assembly is varied to minimize the influence of the disturbances created by the reaction mover assembly on the stage assembly. With this design, the reaction mover assembly has less influence upon the position of the stage base. This allows for more accurate positioning of the device by the stage assembly and better performance of the stage assembly.

    摘要: Low-mass and compact stage devices are disclosed that exhibit, compared to conventional stage devices, reduced magnetic field fluctuations. An embodiment of such a stage device includes an X-Y coarse-movement stage portion that is drivable in the X-Y directions using respective air cylinders. A fine-movement stage portion is mounted on the X-Y coarse-movement stage portion. The fine-movement stage portion is drivable in any of the six degrees of freedom of motion (i.e., X, Y, Z, θX, θY, and θZ motions) relative to the coarse-movement stage portion. Such fine movements are achieved using six piezo actuators. In a stage device configured for use in a microlithography apparatus, a wafer table or reticle table can be mounted on the fine-movement table.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a color filter in accordance with the present invention includes: (i) a latent image forming step in which, with respect to a polysilane film, first and second exposure processes having different exposure patterns and different ultraviolet light exposure amounts are carried out, and colorants are applied to the polysilane film on which first and second latent images are formed; and a coloration step in which the first and second latent images are colored by applying colorants thereto. With this, it is possible to form a first density area corresponding to transmissive image reproduction and a second density area corresponding to a second density area. Accordingly a high-quality color filter for multi-scene displays can be manufactured with fewer manufacturing steps.

    摘要: A stage device includes a first stationary member, a second stationary member, a moving member and positioning devices. The first stationary member extends in a first direction. The second stationary member extends in the first direction and is spaced apart from the first stationary member in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The moving member can cooperate with the first stationary member and with the second stationary member. The positioning devices selectively position the moving member into cooperation with one of the first and second stationary members without physically contacting the moving member with the first and second stationary members. In addition, a stage device provided with a moving member that can move within a two-dimensional plane having a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction includes a first stationary member and a second stationary member. The first stationary member extends in the first direction and is supported at a first position in a third direction that is perpendicular to the two-dimensional plane. The second stationary member extends in the first direction and is supported at a second position in the third direction, different from the first position. The moving member has a first part that can cooperate with the first stationary member, and a second part that can cooperate with the second stationary member. When two stages are replaced, generation of a positional shift on an object on the stages is prevented, and separate processing can be performed simultaneously with respect to objects on the stages.

    摘要: It is an object of the invention to reduce a leakage low-frequency electric field from a panel section of a matrix type. In the case where a panel section has a usual current structure in which the panel section has a single common electrode elongating over the whole of the display region of the panel section, the maximum voltage difference of a reference signal supplied to the common electrode is defined to be 0.3678×x−0.6136 (wherein x is the area of the display region) or less. In the case where the panel section has the so-called counter source structure and a plurality of column electrodes, the maximum voltage difference of a reference signal supplied to the column electrodes is defined to be ax−b (wherein a=0.3565×y−0.6829, b=−0.0937y+0.7091, and y is a ratio of the area of all the column electrodes to the area of the display region) or less. In the case where a panel section has the counter source structure, the average area per unit length of one part of the column electrode opposed to a signal line is smaller than the average area per unit length of the remaining part of the column electrode other than the one part.
