    摘要: A method for irradiating a substrate such as a semiconductor substrate, coated with a photoresist, with light to measure variations in optical properties such as reflectivity, refractive index, transmittance, polarization, spectral transmittance, for determining an optimum photoresist coating condition, an optimum photoresist baking condition, an optimum developing condition or an optimum exposure energy quantity, and forming a photoresist pattern according to the optimum condition. A system for the exposure method, a controlling method of forming a photoresist film by use of the exposure method, and a system for the controlling method, are useful for stabilization of the formation or treatment of the photoresist film, and ensure less variations in the pattern size. Furthermore, even in the case of a thin film other than a photoresist film, the formation or treatment of the thin film can be stabilized by measuring the optical property before and during or after the formation of the thin film and using the measurement results to control the condition for forming the thin film, the etching condition or the coating condition.

    摘要: An optical integrated circuit and an optical apparatus used in optical communication or an opto-electronics apparatus such as an optical disk recording apparatus, in which various kinds of aberration caused by wavelength variation of a light source when a semiconductor laser is used as the light source. An aberration correcting grating having such grating pitches as to nearly satisfy the Bragg condition preferably with respect to a certain wavelength of the semiconductor laser beam is used. As a result, lowering of incidence (entrance) and radiation (exit) coupling efficiencies of the grating coupler and aberration such as chromatic aberration can be prevented. Even if a multi-mode semiconductor laser is used as a light source, the characteristics of the optical integrated circuit and optical apparatus do not vary largely.

    摘要: A projection alignment method of aligning a mask and a wafer with each other through an optical imaging system and an apparatus for performing the method are disclosed. The apparatus comprises an optical illumination system for illuminating with highly coherent illumination light an alignment pattern formed with a stepped pattern on the wafer and a flat or planar portion of the wafer in the vicinity of the alignment pattern, an optical interference system for making reflected light from the alignment pattern on the wafer and reflected light from the flat portion of the wafer illuminated by the optical illumination system interfere with each other while optically superimposing optical images of both the reflected lights obtained through the optical imaging system on each other. A photo-electric conversion element subjects an interference pattern obtained by the optical interference system to photo-electric conversion, thereby obtaining a signal having a symmetry which represents a stepped portion of the alignment pattern, whereby alignment for the wafer is performed on the basis of the signal obtained from the photoelectric conversion element. With such a construction, any influence of uneven thickness of a resist film applied on the alignment pattern can be reduced and hence a highly symmetrical signal corresponding to the stepped portion of the alignment pattern can be obtained, thereby realizing alignment with high precision.
