摘要:
There is disclosed a mask supporting device comprising a chuck mechanism for supporting a mask substrate provided with a rectangular window in which a mask pattern is formed, and a frame for reinforcing the mask substrate, and a mechanism for applying, to said frame of the mask, loads from mutually orthogonal directions. The mechanism for applying loads includes a fixed reference contacting two positions on the external periphery of the mask frame and two pressing mechanism for applying loads to the mask frame from two directions respectively opposed to the two contact positions.

An X-ray mask structure includes a mask substrate having a pattern; a supporting frame for carrying and supporting the mask substrate; and an adhesive material for fixing the mask substrate to the supporting frame; wherein a stress releasing groove is formed in at least one of the mask substrate and the supporting frame.
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 method of producing an X-ray mask includes a step of forming a mask pattern on a mask substrate having an amount of warp, and a step of bonding the mask substrate to a mask frame. In both steps, the mask substrate maintains a shape obtained due to the amount of warp. Since the mask substrate is fixed to the mask frame in a warped state, distortion is not produced in the mask pattern. As a result, an X-ray mask, which is suitable for very precise exposure, is provided.

A substrate holding device includes a vacuum supplying device for supplying a vacuum to a holding surface to hold a substrate, a hollow member surrounding at least a portion of the holding surface and movable between a position in which the holding member protrudes from the holding surface and a position in which the hollow member does not protrude from the holding surface, and a moving mechanism for relatively moving between the hollow member and the holding surface.
摘要:
A substrate holding apparatus in which first and second vacuum clamping devices each have a holding surface for holding a portion of a substrate, a first driving device for rotating the first vacuum clamping device relative to the second vacuum clamping device, and a second driving device for reciprocally moving the first vacuum clamping device between a position in which it protrudes by a predetermined amount from the holding surface of the second vacuum clamping device and a position in which it does not protrude from that holding surface. Also disclosed is a substrate holding device in which a vacuum clamping device creates a vacuum clamp force on the holding surface thereof, a cylindrical delivering member surrounds at least a portion of the holding surface and is reciprocally movable between a position in which it protrudes by a predetermined amount from the holding surface and a position in which it does not protrude from the holding surface, and a driving device for moving the delivering member.
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 ink jet apparatus in which a recorded image is read to provide an image reference signal for comparison with an image recording signal, the resulting comparison being used as a basis for diagnosing an ink ejection state of a recording head nozzle in order to determine and implement an ink ejection recovery process.

摘要:
A method of controlling a conveying device having a gripping hand for gripping an article to be conveyed and a conveying mechanism for conveying the gripping hand, wherein a pressing force applied to the gripping hand through the article being conveyed is detected and the conveying operation of the conveying mechanism is stopped when the pressing force exceeds a predetermined force.
