X-rays enter an airtight chamber through a beam duct, pass through a transmission window, and expose a wafer and mask disposed outside the airtight chamber. The wafer and mask are held by a wafer chuck and a mask holder, respectively. The mask holder includes a pressure sensor, which detects variations in the atmospheric pressure. An output from the pressure sensor is converted into a change in the intensity of the x-rays by an arithmetic unit, and is transmitted to a control unit, which controls a driving unit of a shutter. By thus controlling the moving speed of the shutter in accordance with variations in the atmospheric pressure, it is possible to prevent variations in the amount of x-ray exposure of the wafer.

An exposure method for manufacture of semiconductor devices, includes moving a shutter having an edge so that the edge is related to a predetermined exposure region; projecting an exposure beam to the edge of the shutter and to at least a portion of the exposure region; determining a position of a shadow of the edge of the shutter formed by the exposure beam with respect to a predetermined coordinate system related to movement of a movable chuck; adjusting the shutter in accordance with the determination; placing a substrate on the chuck; moving the chuck so that the substrate is related to the exposure region; and controlling the exposure of the substrate with the exposure beam through the shutter.
摘要:
An X-ray exposure method and apparatus wherein an exposure chamber coupled with a synchrotron radiation device through a beam line receives synchrotron radiation through a window material provided on the beam line to execute an exposure process, a pressure sensor detects pressure in the exposure chamber, a cutoff valve is provided in a portion of the beam line between the window material and the synchrotron radiation device, and a bypass has a communication valve for communicating a portion of the beam line between the window material and the cutoff valve with a portion between the window material and the exposure chamber. In addition, a vacuum evacuating device effects evacuation of a portion of the beam line between the window material and the cutoff vlave, a pump valve is disposed in a conduit, coupling the beam line with the vacuum evacuating device, and a controller responds to a pressure detected by the pressure sensor so that, when the detected pressure represents a steady state lower than a predetermined pressure, the controller operates to open the cutoff valve and the pump valve and to close the communication valve and, when the detected pressure is higher than the predetermined pressure, the controller operates to close the cutoff valve and the pump valve and thereafter to open the communication valve.
