    摘要: A mask and a mask supporting mechanism wherein the outside periphery of a mask frame, having a rectangular shape, which supports the mask, is supported at three supporting points which are substantially the same distance from the center line of a mask membrane, whereby the mask frame is positioned with respect to X, Y and .theta. directions. Two pressing mechanisms press the mask frame at two points substantially opposed to two of the supporting points. The mask is supported at three points on the bottom surface thereof for positioning in the Z direction.

    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: A recording apparatus is provided with an upper unit having a recording head for discharging ink for effecting recording on a recording medium in response to information, and at least a portion of the electric circuit of the apparatus, a lower unit having a platen for maintaining the recording medium in the recording station by the recording head, the lower unit capable of being spaced apart relative to the upper unit, and a conveying member for conveying the recording medium to the recording station. The upper unit and the lower unit are capable of being spaced apart and opened in the recording station by the recording head. The recording apparatus further having a blower which introduces air and directs an air stream through the apparatus and past a full page width recording head. The air stream directs ink mist generated by the printhead through a recording medium discharge port such that ink mist is removed from the apparatus body by riding the air stream or by adhering to the recording medium. Internal contamination of the recording apparatus is avoided.

    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.
