    摘要: A method for detecting a period of a periodically varying signal and/or an inclination of a specimen utilizing an exposure apparatus wherein a coherent light is divided into first and second lights and the first light is irradiated onto the specimen at a predetermined angle, and a reflected light thereof and a reference light as the second light interfere with each other so as to form interference fringes, the interference fringes are detected, and the inclination of the specimen is detected from a pitch representing a period of the interference fringes. The method includes detecting a spectrum of a signal intensity obtained from the detected interference fringes or the periodically varying signal, subjecting the detected spectrum data to a fast complex Fourier transformation, calculating a true spectrum peak position j.sub.R in accordance with a relationship j.sub.R =j.sub.0 +.DELTA., where j.sub.0 is a detected spectrum peak position and .DELTA. is a correcting value estimated from the Fourier transformed spectrum data adjacent to j.sub.0, and calculating the pitch P of the period of the signal intensity information in accordance with a relationship P=N/j.sub.R, where N is the number of sample data points for the complex Fourier transformation. Further, the method includes calculating the inclination of the specimen from the pitch P.

    摘要: It is possible to enhance the utilization efficiency of a light source and impart an orientation control performance and a pretilt angle to an orientation film in a short treatment time. Substrates to which orientation films are applied are mounted on stages which are sequentially transported to a main irradiation region and a sub-irradiation region. Light flux irradiated from a light source device having a single light source receives polarization treatment at a polarization unit, thus generating main polarized light and sub-polarized light. The main polarized light is irradiated to the orientation film formed on the substrate which is transported to a main irradiation region, thus imparting orientation control performance to the orientation film. Subsequently, the substrate is transported to a sub-irradiation region, and sub-polarized light is irradiated to the orientation film to which orientation control performance is already imparted, thus imparting a pretilt angle to the orientation film.

    摘要: An exposure apparatus comprises a light source, a mask plate having an exposure pattern area section and an alignment/reflection area section, a projection lens, a movable stage for holding a workpiece having a workpiece alignment mark, an alignment control and a driver for the movable stage. Before the exposure pattern area section is illuminated by the light source to be projected through the projection lens onto the workpiece, the workpiece is properly aligned with the mask. Alignment between the mask plate and the workpiece is performed by the effective use of the alignment/reflection area section specifically arranged and having a specific structure. The alignment/reflection area section is on that surface of the mask plate which does not face the light source and includes a reflection portion for conducting light from another light source to the workpiece and conducting light scattered from the workpiece and passing through the projection lens to the alignment control and a mask alignment mark portion of providing, when illuminated, an image of the mask alignment mark portion to the alignment control so that it detects the positional relation between the mask alignment mark portion and the workpiece alignment mark and produces a control signal for achieving alignment between the mask plate and the workpiece.
