    摘要: An optical wiring substrate fabrication method capable of simple formation, by maskless exposure, of an inclined face shape at an end portion of a core layer structuring an optical waveguide. Using an exposure apparatus, image exposure is carried out with a light beam which is modulated by a spatial modulation element in accordance with image information. A predetermined area of a photosensitive material (a photoresist), which is coated on the core layer which is a material of the optical wiring substrate, is exposed by a light beam (UV) and patterned to form an etching mask. A region corresponding to the inclined face, which is to be formed at the end portion of the core layer, is exposed and patterned by the light beam, exposure amounts of which are controlled in accordance with the inclined form of the inclined face, such that an end portion of the etching mask has an inclined face structure. When the core layer is worked by etching using this etching mask, working of the core layer at the end portion of the core layer progresses in proportion to film thickness of the etching mask, and the inclined face is formed.

    摘要: In an exposure apparatus of the invention, for a spatial light modulator, each of a plurality of pixel portions fewer than the total number of the pixel portions is controlled with a control signal generated according to exposure information. Namely, a part of the pixel portions is controlled without controlling a whole of the pixel portions on the substrate. Thus, the number of pixels in the pixel portions is decreased, and transfer time of the control signal becomes short. This enables modulation speed of the laser beam to be increased and the high-speed exposure to be performed. An incorporated laser light source, in which the laser beams are incorporated and struck on the optical fiber, is preferable to the laser device. By adopting the incorporated laser light source, high brightness and high output can be obtained, and it is preferable to the exposure of the spatial light modulator. Since the fiber array is obtained with few optical fibers, it is low cost. Since the number of optical fibers is few, the light-emitting region is further decreased when the optical fibers are arrayed.

    摘要: An optical fiber of a bundled fiber light source is an optical fiber whose core diameter is uniform but whose emission end cladding diameter is smaller than an incidence end cladding diameter thereof, and a light emission region thereof is made smaller. An angle of luminous flux from this higher luminance bundled fiber light source, which passes through a lens system and is incident on a DMD, is smaller, i.e., an illumination NA is made smaller. Thus, an angle of flux which is incident on a surface that is to be exposed is smaller. That is, a minute image formation beam can be obtained without increasing the image formation NA, focal depth is lengthen.

    摘要: A reduction in utilization efficiency of laser beams emitted from laser emission portions of illumination means is limited and an exposure surface is exposed by beam spots with desired spot diameters and spot forms. At an exposure head, first microlenses are arranged in a two dimensional manner so as to correspond to micromirrors at a DMD, and apertures are arranged in a two dimensional manner at back side focusing positions of the first microlenses. With this exposure head, light source images, which are formed to be very small at back side focusing positions of the first microlenses by the first microlenses, are projected onto the exposure surface, and these light source images serve as beam spots BS and expose the exposure surface.
