    摘要: A heating apparatus for performing heat treatment on a wafer applied with a resist before or after exposure includes a heating plate for heating a wafer which is placed on the heating plate, a light intensity detecting apparatus for irradiating light on the wafer to detect intensity of reflected light from the resist on the wafer, and a control section for controlling heating performed by the heating plate on the basis of the detected intensity of reflected light so that heating amount applied to a plurality of wafers becomes constant. Accordingly, the heating amount of the wafer can be controlled to be constant and variations in dimension of resist patterns can be reduced.

    摘要: Attention is paid to the shifting of a focal point depth due to an interference between some light penetrating even a light shielding film, that is, a light shielding film having a nonzero transmittance, and light passing through an opening. Study has been made about how both the transmittance of the light shielding film and the phase difference between the light penetrating the light shielding film and light passing through a light transmitting medium the same in thickness as the light shielding film vary, arriving at a conclusion that the broadest focal point tolerance can be obtained if a phase difference of substantially n.multidot..pi. (n: an positive integer) exists between light penetrating the light shielding film and light passing through the light transmitting medium.

    摘要: A wideband semiconductor electro-absorption optical modulator including a semiconductor core shorter in absorption-peak wavelength than a wavelength of optical signal, and an electrode for applying an electric signal to absorb the optical signal by shifting the absorption-peak wavelength to a long wavelength region when a voltage is applied, wherein an electric signal input port and an electric signal output port are disposed so that the electrode is constructed in the form of a traveling-wave electrode, and a total thickness of non-doped layers including the semiconductor core is reduced to decrease a driving voltage. Degradation of optical modulation bandwidth and reflection characteristics of the electric signal caused by mismatching of characteristic impedance to an outer circuit are reduced by decreasing an interaction length of the electric signal and the optical signal. Further, mismatching of characteristic impedance is corrected by adjusting a doping concentration of a p-type or n-type doped layer located above or beneath the semiconductor core.
