    摘要: An exposure apparatus in which a portion of a pattern of a reticle is projected onto a wafer and in which the reticle and the wafer are scanned synchronously such that the pattern of the reticle is transferred to the wafer. The apparatus includes a reticle stage and a wafer stage for scanningly moving the reticle and the wafer, respectively, a measuring system for measuring a deviation of the reticle stage relative to the wafer stage in a predetermined direction other than the direction of scanning movement, and an adjusting device for adjusting the wafer stage on the basis of the measurement by the measuring system. In one aspect, the measuring system includes a laser interferometer. In another aspect, a frame member is provided for supporting the stages, and a flow passageway is provided in the frame member for flowing therethrough a temperature adjusting medium. In yet another aspect, the present invention is directed to an exposure method for the manufacture of microdevices.

    摘要: A temperature controlling device suitably usable in a semiconductor microcircuit manufacturing exposure apparatus exposes a semiconductor wafer to a mask to print a pattern of the mask on the wafer. The device includes a constant-temperature liquid medium supplying system for controlling temperature of a liquid at high precision, a distributing system for distributing the supplied liquid medium into plural flow passages, to supply the liquid medium to plural subjects of control such as, for example, a mask stage, a wafer stage and the like. The device further includes a plurality of temperature controls each being provided in corresponding one of the flow passages, for correction of any variance in temperature of the distributed liquid medium, resulting from pressure loss energies in the respective flow passages. Thus, temperatures of plural subjects of control can be controlled efficiently and with a simple structure.
