    摘要: In a projection exposure apparatus wherein a stage is moved in the direction of optic axis when a mask formed with a predetermined pattern is projected by a shutter onto a photosensitive substrate placed on the stage through a projection optical system, the operations of control means for the shutter and control means for the stage are interlocked with each other on the basis of the operational characteristic of the shutter and the operational characteristics (particularly the speed characteristic) of the stage so that the distribution of the existence probability with respect to movement of the photosensitive substrate from the opening operation starting point of time till the closing operation completing point of time of the shutter, with respect to the direction of the optic axis, may assume substantially equal maximum values at at least two locations in the direction of the optic axis.

    摘要: When an incident light is obliquely incident on an index scale, the optical path length of light A becomes longer than the optical path length of light B and an optical path length difference occurs, which causes a phase difference in both of the diffracted lights incident on a photodetection element. According to the phase difference, intensity of a photoelectric detection signal output from the photodetection element changes. That is, due to a periodic change in the incident angle of the incident light, the phase difference between light A and light B is modulated, and the interference signal becomes greatly modulated.

    摘要: A scanning type exposure apparatus includes a mask stage position-measuring unite a substrate stage position-measuring unit, an arithmetic processing unit, and a control unit. The arithmetic processing unit multiplies results of measurement (WX, WY, W.theta.) by the substrate position-measuring unit by a conversion vector including components containing a magnification of a projection optical system and an angle of rotation between a mask and a substrate to determine a target vector quantity (RX*, RY*, R.theta.*) of a mask stage. An error vector is determined by subtracting, from the target vector quantity, results of measurement (RX, RY, R.theta.) by the mask stage position-measuring unit. The controller controls the mask stage so that the error vector becomes zero. The exposure apparatus includes correcting sections for correcting time lags in measurement by the respective position-measuring units. The arithmetic processing unit uses corrected positional information. The mask stage can accurately follow a substrate stage.
