摘要:
A method for evaluating a resist coating comprising the steps of: forming a first layer resist pattern including an alignment mark by applying a first resist on a semiconductor substrate and by exposing and developing said first resist, said first layer resist pattern having a ridge portion; irradiating said first layer resist pattern with a deep ultraviolet ray; applying, onto said irradiated first layer resist pattern, a second resist having substantially the same refractive index as said first resist to form a second resist coating; detecting said alignment mark formed in said first layer resist pattern, and relatively positioning a pattern for said second resist and said first layer resist pattern; and determining nonuniformity characteristics of said second resist coating by measuring an overlay accuracy between said first layer resist pattern and said pattern for said second resist. The present invention ensures a quantitative evaluation in a non-contact manner for non-uniformity of a resist coating, and enables a resist coating method to be optimized.

In a process using a single-layer or multi-layer resist, by using a resist material comprising an acid-decomposable polymer, an acid generator and a conducting polymer or a resist material comprising a monomer to be made reactive by an acid, an acid generator and a conducting polymer, there can be formed a fine pattern precisely without inviting charging during charged beam writing.

A positive type fine resist pattern can be formed at a high sensitivity at a high precision by using, as a resist film for a di-layer resist, a mixture or alternating copolymer of a silicon-containing resin and a polysulfone.

A fine pattern forming method capable of forming an accurate fine pattern without charge-up at the time of electron beam or focus ion beam exposure is provided by treating the bottom layer or intermediate layer or silicon containing resist of a multi-layer resist with ion shower irradiation or reducing solvent.

A method and apparatus for making a semiconductor device involves placing a semiconductor wafer in a position where two coherent light beams can interfere thereon. One of the coherent light beams is modulated by a hologram inserted in the path of the beam projected onto a surface of the semiconductor wafer. The other of the coherent light beams is also projected onto the same surface of the semiconductor wafer. The two interfering light beams form a pattern on a photoresist film found on the surface of the semiconductor wafer, which can be developed by photoresist techniques.

Disclosed in an aligning and exposing method suitable for use in the production of LSIs. Coherent ray beams are applied from two directions to form interference fringe through interference of the coherent rays. A diffraction grid is disposed in the optic paths of the ray beams substantially in parallel with the interference fringe. The ray beams reflected and transmitted by the grid are converged by a lens system and the intensities of the ray beams are measured to detect the relative position between the interference fringe formed by two coherent ray beams and the diffraction grid, thereby to permit a highly accurate alignment of fine semiconductor element. The pitch of the grid on the substrate is selected to be n (n being an integer) times as large as the pitch of the interference fringe, so that the grid for alignment purpose is formed simultaneously with the formation of the LSI pattern by photolithographic technic. With this method, it is possible to attain a high degree of accuracy of alignment, and to conduct the subsequent exposure using the same ray beam source as that used for the alignment.

A navigation system for providing different modes of navigation guidance to drivers is provided. A smart card stores user information. In a main apparatus, a parameter table storage section stores parameters which are used for controlling the outputting of navigation guidance to an entity. A control section acquires at least one parameter from the parameter table storage section based on the user information stored in the smart card, and thereafter generates information necessary for providing navigation guidance for the entity in accordance with the acquired parameter(s). A display section or an audio output section outputs various information generated by the control section.

An input device enables a user to operate an electronic apparatus in an optimum position for the user. For this purpose, the input device of the present invention includes: a display unit in which images are displayed; an input detection unit that is disposed to be movable back and forth in front of the display unit and optically detects an operation position indicated for an operation screen displayed in the display unit; a control unit that outputs a control signal corresponding to the detected operation position; and an electric driving unit that moves the input detection unit back and forth. By changing the position of the input detection unit to an operation position suitable to a driver, the driver can operate the electronic apparatus in an optimum position for the driver.

There is provided a vehicle system, including an electromobile having a fuel cell power generator mounted therein, and a predetermined mobile unit jointable to the electromobile, such that cogeneration within the mobile unit can be realized even during the travel of the electromobile. Via a joint section 30, a vehicle 10 including a fuel cell 13 as a source of motive power is jointed to a mobile unit 20 capable of travelling and at least including a storage battery 23 and a water tank 25. The water produced in the fuel cell 13 is recovered by a water recovery section 21 via the joint section 30. The heat produced in the fuel cell 13 is recovered by a heat recovery section 22 via the joint section 30. The recovered water is warmed up with the recovered heat, and thereafter stored in the water tank 25. The hot water stored in the water tank 25 is utilized as hot water to be used for controlling the temperature of the mobile unit 20 or supplied as hot water. Any excess electric power generated by the fuel cell 13 is stored in the storage battery 23, and supplied onto electric wiring within the mobile unit 20.

In an image processing apparatus carried on a vehicle, an image of a scene around the vehicle, which is photographed by an image pick-up, is inputted into a white line failure extractor. Then, outline points of a white line on a road and a guardrail, which is parallel to the white line, are sought. Further, the outline points are detected as a polynomial. Moreover, the image photographed by the image pick-up is also inputted into an intermittent image obtainer. Then, the images from the image pick-up are intermittently obtained at constant periodical intervals, and further the images are compressed using JPEG compression method. Further, in a synthesizer, the feature data from the white line feature extractor and the image data from the intermittent image obtainer are aligned in order of time. Moreover, the image data and feature data, which are aligned in order of time, are conserved within a given constant period by a recorder. Thus, accurate data as to condition of the road can be recorded using a small capacity memory.
