    摘要: A pattern exposure method and a pattern exposure apparatus in which the throughput is improved with an inexpensive apparatus and without a low running cost. Output faces of a plurality of laser beams emitted from a plurality of semiconductor lasers respectively are arranged in two directions. One of the directions is the same direction as the scanning direction of a polygon mirror while the other is a direction crossing the scanning direction of the polygon mirror. In this event, the array pitch of the output faces arranged in the direction crossing the scanning direction of the polygon mirror is made equal to resolution of an exposure pattern. In this event, the wavelength of each laser may be made not longer than 410 nm.

    摘要: A method of inspecting a DNA chip and an apparatus therefor that allow a picture to be reconstructed in the following steps: A plurality of irradiation spots are formed on a DNA probe array mounted on a stage. Then, the stage is displaced in X, Y directions so as to execute a scanning, thereby irradiating substantially all the entire surface of the DNA probe array. Next, a plurality of emitted fluorescent lights, which are generated from the plurality of irradiation spot portions on the DNA probe array, are converged and are then detected simultaneously by multi detectors. Finally, a data processing apparatus processes the detected signals, thereby reconstructing the picture.

    摘要: It is possible to enhance the utilization efficiency of a light source and impart an orientation control performance and a pretilt angle to an orientation film in a short treatment time. Substrates to which orientation films are applied are mounted on stages which are sequentially transported to a main irradiation region and a sub-irradiation region. Light flux irradiated from a light source device having a single light source receives polarization treatment at a polarization unit, thus generating main polarized light and sub-polarized light. The main polarized light is irradiated to the orientation film formed on the substrate which is transported to a main irradiation region, thus imparting orientation control performance to the orientation film. Subsequently, the substrate is transported to a sub-irradiation region, and sub-polarized light is irradiated to the orientation film to which orientation control performance is already imparted, thus imparting a pretilt angle to the orientation film.

    摘要: An exposure apparatus comprises a light source, a mask plate having an exposure pattern area section and an alignment/reflection area section, a projection lens, a movable stage for holding a workpiece having a workpiece alignment mark, an alignment control and a driver for the movable stage. Before the exposure pattern area section is illuminated by the light source to be projected through the projection lens onto the workpiece, the workpiece is properly aligned with the mask. Alignment between the mask plate and the workpiece is performed by the effective use of the alignment/reflection area section specifically arranged and having a specific structure. The alignment/reflection area section is on that surface of the mask plate which does not face the light source and includes a reflection portion for conducting light from another light source to the workpiece and conducting light scattered from the workpiece and passing through the projection lens to the alignment control and a mask alignment mark portion of providing, when illuminated, an image of the mask alignment mark portion to the alignment control so that it detects the positional relation between the mask alignment mark portion and the workpiece alignment mark and produces a control signal for achieving alignment between the mask plate and the workpiece.

    摘要: An illumination apparatus and an exposure apparatus that achieves higher quality exposure to light and higher operating speed even where the ratio Hx/Hy between the transverse dimension Hx and the longitudinal dimension Hy of the plane of optical modulation of a two-dimensional optical space modulator is 1.5 or above, for instance, are to be provided. The focal distance fx in an x-direction and the focal distance fy in a y-direction of a second optical system that guides light emitted from an integrator to a two-dimensional optical space modulator are made different, in a ratio of fx/fy=1.6, for instance. In this way, the number of rod lenses in the integrator can be made equal between transverse and longitudinal directions and the value of Hx/Hy can be made 2.5 by bringing the aspect ratio dx:dy of rod lenses to 1.6:1, close to 1.
