An apparatus for exposing a substrate to an energy in a vacuum includes a substrate stage having a mirror surface; a mirror configured to deflect a light into a Z axis direction; a measuring device configured to measure the stage position in the Z axis direction with the light in which the mirror surface is irradiated; a driving device configured to move the measuring device so that the mirror surface is irradiated with the light; an optical system configured to project the energy onto the substrate; and a cooling device including a radiation plate (arranged between the optical system and the stage in the Z axis direction and having a first opening which the energy passes and a second opening which the light passes), including a cooler configured to cool the first radiation plate, and configured to perform radiation cooling of the substrate.
摘要:
A stage apparatus in which support units supporting a counter-mass surface plate on a reference surface each include a first permanent magnet disposed on one of the surface plate and the reference surface, and a pair of second permanent magnets disposed on the other of the surface plate and the reference surface so as to sandwich the first permanent. This stage apparatus is arranged to satisfy the following relations: (1) [(stroke of movement of the stage in a first direction)×(mass of moving portion of the stage in the first direction)/(mass of surface plate)]

A stage system that reduces disturbances caused by deformation of a cable and achieves high-precision positioning. The stage system includes a substrate stage movable in at least two axial directions, a fine-motion cable unit that holds a cable and finely moves in at least two axial directions, and a coarse-motion cable unit that coarsely moves the fine-motion cable unit in at least one axial direction.

Disclosed is a stage device by which high precision motion and high speed motion can be accomplished simultaneously. The stage device includes a stage, a repulsive magnet unit for accelerating and/or decelerating the stage with respect to a movement direction, and a magnetic driving system for controlling the position of the stage. The repulsive force generator has (i) a repulsive stator, as a set magnet, including a plurality of magnets disposed along a direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the movement direction, with a spacing therebetween while different poles of them are opposed to each other, and (ii) a repulsive movable element, as an insert magnet, to be mountably and demountably inserted into the spacing and being disposed in relation to the repulsive stator so that the same poles are opposed to each other.

A linear motor includes a coil unit and a magnet unit. The coil unit includes an inner yoke extending in a moving direction and a coil arranged outside the inner yoke. The magnet includes a magnet arranged outside the coil. Each of the inner yoke, coil, and magnet includes a plurality of flat portions, the plurality of flat portions of the inner yoke are parallel to an axis of the coil. Each flat portion of the inner yoke is parallel to the corresponding flat portion of the coil and the corresponding flat portion of the magnet. A length of the inner yoke in a direction along the axis of the coil is longer than a length of the magnet in the direction along the axis of the coil, and the inner yoke has a prismatic structure formed by the plurality of flat portions supported by a support member.

A stage system includes a movable stage, a first driving mechanism, having magnet and a coil unit, for moving the stage along a predetermined direction, the coil unit including a coil and a yoke, wherein the magnet is connected to the stage side, and a second driving mechanism for moving the coil unit along the predetermined direction. While a position or a speed of the stage is controlled as the stage is driven through the first driving mechanism, the coil unit is moved substantially in synchronism with the stage.

A stage apparatus includes a movable stage, a base supporting the stage on a reference plane, a driving mechanism for driving the stage, and a rotor acting on the stage and producing a moment so as to reduce a reaction force produced along with the movement of the stage. The rotor also reduces the reaction force produced upon movement of the stage by the movement of the base and the rotation of the rotor.

A movable stage apparatus suitable for a semiconductor exposure apparatus or the like has a stage, a first driving mechanism for moving the stage in a predetermined direction, and a second driving mechanism for moving the stage by a minute amount in the predetermined direction. One of the mover and stator of the second driving mechanism is substantially fixed to the stage and the other is substantially movable with the movement of the stage by the first driving mechanism.
