    摘要: A method of manufacturing of semiconductor devices, includes exposing different portions of a semiconductor substrate with a first exposure apparatus having a first exposure range; placing and aligning the semiconductor substrate with respect to a second exposure range of a second exposure apparatus, which range is larger than the first exposure range of the first exposure apparatus; detecting an alignment error of each of the portions of the semiconductor substrate as covered by the second exposure range of the second exposure apparatus; calculating an overall alignment error of those portions of the semiconductor substrate with respect to the entire second exposure range of the second exposure apparatus, on the basis of the detected alignment errors; and controlling the exposure operation of the second exposure apparatus on the basis of the calculated overall alignment error.

    摘要: A substrate conveying apparatus usable with a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus wherein a pattern of a mask is transferred onto a semiconductor wafer by exposing the semiconductor wafer to synchrotron orbital radiation or other exposure energy through a mask. The conveying apparatus transfers the semiconductor wafer to and from a wafer chuck while the surface thereof extends vertically, and/or transfers the wafer to and from a wafer cassette which contains a plurality of wafers horizontally. The apparatus includes a conveying hand having a gimbal mechanism for supporting the semiconductor wafer to assure the semiconductor wafer transfer to and from the wafer chuck while the wafer is vertical. When the semiconductor wafer is transferred to and from a wafer cassette, the apparatus is provided with a correcting mechanism for correcting the attitude of the conveying hand to prevent the semiconductor wafer from contacting the wafer cassette.

    摘要: An exposure apparatus for exposing a semiconductor wafer to a semiconductor device pattern formed in a mask. The exposure energy is, for example, X-rays contains in synchrotron orbit radiation. A blade for limiting the area irradiated with the exposure energy on a mask or wafer is integrally movable in an alignment detecting unit for detecting the alignment mark. Four of such blades are provided to provide a square exposure area. The blades are movable independently by the associated alignment detecting units. Each of the blades is finely movable relative to the associated alignment detecting unit. The shape or size or the like of the blade is determined in consideration of the position of the blade in the direction of the exposure energy irradiation, and the maximum and minimum exposure view angle. The blade is cooled. The exposure area can be changed highly accurately and efficiently with a simple structure.
