摘要:
An exposure apparatus which aligns a substrate by a stage device for driving a movable element, mounted with a substrate thereon, by using a plane motor. The stage device includes (i) a stator unit having a coil group, and (ii) the movable element, which moves on the stator unit. The stator unit includes (a) an exposure region where the substrate is to be subjected to a process of exposing the substrate, and (b) a measurement region where the substrate is to be subjected to a process of measuring a position of the substrate. The coil group in the stator unit is temperature-controlled independently between the exposure region and the measurement region.
摘要:
Outflow of heat generated by a linear motor to the outside is suppressed. A linear motor according to the present invention is a linear motor used in a vacuum atmosphere, including a stator, a movable element movable relative to the stator, and a metal film formed on the surface of at least one of the stator and the movable element. This decreases the emissivity and reduces the outflow of heat by radiation from the linear motor.
