Abstract:
An apparatus for transferring a pattern of a mask onto a substrate with radiation light from a synchrotron radiation light source, includes a first mirror for collectively reflecting radiation light from the synchrotron radiation light source, and a second mirror for reflecting radiation light from the first mirror and for projecting the same to the mask. When a light ray advancing from a light emission point of the light source toward a center of a predetermined region of the mask, to be transferred to the substrate, is taken as a chief ray, when a normal to each of the first and second mirrors at an incidence position of a corresponding chief ray is taken as a Z axis, when a direction perpendicular to a plane defined by the Z axis of each mirror and a corresponding chief ray is taken as an X axis, and when a Y axis is taken along a direction perpendicular to the Z axis and X axis of each mirror, the first mirror has a reflection surface of a shape which is concave with respect to the X axis direction and concave with respect to the Y axis direction, while the second mirror has a reflection surface of a shape which is convex with respect to the Y axis direction.
Abstract:
An exposure apparatus for projecting radiation light from a synchrotron radiation source to an object to be illuminated. The apparatus includes at least one set of flat surface mirrors disposed along a synchrotron radiation orbital plane and opposed to each other with a principal ray interposed therebetween and also disposed in two stages with respect to a direction of the principal ray. A first-stage flat surface mirror of the flat surface mirrors receives radiation light, emitted from the radiation source along the synchrotron radiation orbital plane, and reflects the same toward a second-stage flat surface mirror of the flat surface mirrors, which opposes the first-stage mirror with the principal ray direction interposed therebetween. At least one projection mirror receives radiation light from the flat surface mirrors and reflects and projects the same toward the object to illuminate it. The radiation light reflected by the second-stage flat surface mirror is deflected by the projection mirror to illuminate an effective region on the object, and the directions of the flat surface mirrors and the direction of radiation light impinging on them are placed in a predetermined relationship regarding a plane defined by radiation light emitted along the synchrotron radiation orbital plane.

Further, an application log extraction module extracts application logs from packet logs by sequence matching using an extraction filter which contains a sequence filter, a performance analysis module analyzes the application logs using an analysis filter, and a graph display module displays a graph of the results.
Abstract:
A circularly polarizing local antenna for use in a magnetic resonance apparatus is formed by first and second antennae, which are in turn respectively formed by first and second coils. The second coil has an opening surrounding an examination region, through which an examination subject can be introduced. The arrangement includes a coil holder, to which the first coil is attached so as to be movable between first and second positions and to which the second coil is rigidly attached. When the first coil is oriented in the first position, it also surrounds the examination region, with the respective coil axes of the first and second coils being disposed substantially perpendicular to each other. In the first position, the first coil obstructs the opening of the second coil. By moving the first coil from the first position to the second position, the first coil becomes oriented so as to leave the opening of the second coil unobstructed, permitting unimpeded introduction of the examination subject into the examination region.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an X-ray lithography mask, an exposure apparatus and an exposure process such as an X-ray lithography exposure apparatus and an X-ray lithography exposure process. An X-ray lithography mask includes an X-ray transmission membrane, a transfer pattern depicted on the X-ray transmission membrane and a frame for supporting the X-ray transmission membrane. The transfer pattern is depicted on the basis of a changing direction of a film thickness profile of the X-ray transmission membrane. In the exposure apparatus and process, a changing direction of an intensity profile of a radiation light illuminated on an exposure area of a mask is coincident with a changing direction of a film thickness profile of a light transmission membrane on the mask and an illumination time of the radiation light for the exposure area is changed on the basis of the intensity profile of the radiation light and the thickness profile of the light transmission membrane so that the intensity of a transfer patter image formed by the transmission of the radiation light through the light transmission membrane is rendered uniform.

Abstract:
An exposure apparatus for exposing a substrate with X-rays is disclosed. The apparatus includes a radiation source for providing X-rays; and a convex mirror for reflecting the X-rays from the radiation source toward the substrate to expose a zone of the substrate with the X-rays; wherein the convex mirror and the substrate are so interrelated that a peak position of intensity distribution of the X-rays upon the zone deviates from the center of the zone.
