    摘要: A maskless exposure method and a maskless exposure apparatus in which maskless exposure can be performed efficiently with high-directivity illumination light, while the exposure efficiency of solder resist can be improved. Blue-violet semiconductor lasers 12A emitting laser beams 1a with a wavelength of 405 nm and ultraviolet semiconductor lasers 12B emitting laser beams 1b with a wavelength of 375 nm are provided to irradiate a substrate 8 with the laser beams 1a and 1b whose optical axes are made coaxial. In this event, one and the same place on the substrate 8 is irradiated with the laser beams 1a and 1b a plurality of times. Thus, the variation in intensity of the laser beams 1a and 1b is averaged.

    摘要: Provided are a defect inspecting method and a defect inspecting apparatus, wherein defect detecting sensitivity is improved and also haze measurement is performed using polarization detection, while suppressing damages to samples. The defect inspecting apparatus is provided with a light source which oscillates to a sample a laser beam having a wavelength band wherein a small energy is absorbed, and two independent detecting optical systems, i.e., a defect detecting optical system which detects defect scattered light generated by a defect, by radiating the laser beams oscillated by the light source, and a haze detecting optical system which detects roughness scattered light generated due to roughness of the wafer surface. Polarization detection is independently performed with respect to the scattered light detected by the two detecting optical systems, and based on the two different detection signals, defect determination and haze measurement are performed.

    摘要: An adjustable beam size illumination optical apparatus includes a beam size adjusting optical system which includes groups of cylindrical array lenses disposed correspondingly to the long and short axis directions respectively and having variable intervals among the lenses, and a group of cylindrical telescope lenses disposed correspondingly to one of the long and short axis directions and having variable intervals among the lenses, and adjusts parallel light from a light source in size in accordance with the two axis directions orthogonal to each other. The lens interval of one of the cylindrical array lens groups and the cylindrical telescope lens group is changed to adjust a beam size on a projection surface in accordance with the long axis direction or the short axis direction. Thus, it is possible to adjust the beam size in accordance with the long axis direction and the short axis direction individually, and it is possible to make irradiation with the beam with uniform intensity.
