A position detection device for detecting a position of an object. The detection device includes an irradiation device for irradiating light onto an alignment mark formed on a surface of the object, a probe for detecting near-field light in the vicinity of the alignment mark upon irradiation by the irradiation device and a detector for detecting position information of the object on the basis of the near-field light detected by the probe.

An exposure apparatus for irradiating exposure light onto a surface of an object to be exposed applied with a resist to form a pattern on the surface, wherein near-field light is used as the exposure light. The apparatus includes an alignment system for performing alignment using the near-field light, the alignment system detecting position information of the object to be exposed by irradiating light from an illumination device onto an alignment mark formed on the surface of the object to be exposed, and an alignment probe for detecting near-field light in the vicinity of the alignment mark.
摘要:
An exposure apparatus which forms a pattern on an object. The apparatus includes an exposure head structure in which a plurality of elemental exposure units are arrayed, each elemental exposure unit including (i) at least one light source for emitting exposure light and (ii) an optical element which forms an image of the at least one light source on the object, for exposing the object. Positions of the images of the at least one light source in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the object include plural positions different from each other. A sensor detects a position of the surface of the object and produces a detection result. A controller receives the detection result and controls the exposure head structure such that a pattern is formed on the object by the exposure is selected to expose the object based on the detection result by the sensor.

An optical tomographic imaging method is provided in which light from a light source is split into a measuring beam and a reference beam, the measuring beam being moved by a scanning optical system and guided to an object to be examined, the reference beam being guided to a reference mirror, and in which a tomogram of the object is generated from a return beam of the measuring beam reflected or scattered by the object and the reference beam reflected by the reference mirror. The method includes acquiring longitudinal sectional information on the object, calculating depth-position information on the object from the longitudinal sectional information, and acquiring a three-dimensional surface image of the object by controlling a reference-path length defined by the reference mirror and a scanning operation of the scanning optical system in accordance with the depth-position information on the object.
