摘要： When a segmented region SAi of a sheet S is scan-exposed, a stage SST1 adsorbs, at a standby position at the +X end portion of a scan region AS, a rear surface portion corresponding to the segmented region SAi of the sheet S onto a holding surface of a sheet holder SH1, and moves in the X axis direction (the −X direction) with a predetermined stroke in synchronization with a mask (a mask stage). At this time, illumination beams corresponding to the parts of a pattern of the mask are irradiated onto the sheet S via projection optical systems. Thereby, the pattern is transferred (formed). After scan-exposure on the segmented region SAi, a stage SST2 moves to a standby position within the XY plane. After the stage SST2 adsorbs a rear surface portion corresponding to the next segmented region SAi+1 of the sheet S onto a holding surface of a sheet holder SH1, an exposure is performed by the scan-exposure method similarly to the above, to thereby form the pattern.

摘要翻译： 当片材S的分割区域SAi被扫描曝光时，阶段SST1在扫描区域AS的+ X端部的待机位置处吸收与片材S的分割区域SAi对应的后表面部分， 片保持件SH1的保持表面，并且与掩模（掩模台）同步地以预定行程沿X轴方向（-X方向）移动。 此时，与掩模的图案的部分对应的照明光束经由投影光学系统照射到片材S上。 由此，图案被转印（形成）。 在分割区域SAi上的扫描曝光之后，台SST2移动到XY平面内的待机位置。 在阶段SST2将对应于片材S的下一个分割区域SAi + 1的后表面部分吸附到片材保持器SH1的保持表面上之后，通过与上述类似的扫描曝光方法进行曝光，从而形成 模式。

摘要： Six auxiliary sheet holders SH2 and SH3 temporarily holding a sheet S are minutely driven in the −Z-axis direction by a control device so that holding surfaces thereof are positioned on the slightly lower side (−Z side) of the holding surface of the sheet holder SH1. Accordingly, an appropriate tension is applied to the sheet S in the width direction (Y-axis direction) and the longitudinal direction, so that the center portion of the sheet S is fixed onto the holding surface of the sheet holder SH1. That is, in the state where an XY two-dimensional tension is applied to a separate area SAi of the sheet S, a rear surface portion corresponding to the separate area SAi of the sheet S is changed in accordance with the flat shape of the holding surface of the sheet holder SH1. In addition, in the state where the tension is applied to the predetermined area in the longitudinal direction and the width direction, the rear surface portion corresponding to the predetermined area of the sheet material S is changed in accordance with the flat reference surface so as to be flattened. In addition, the predetermined area of the flattened sheet material is irradiated with an energy beam so as to form a pattern thereon.
