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.

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:
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.
摘要:
V-shaped linear groove portions are formed at regular intervals and at three positions (with 120.degree. pitches) on a periphery, concentric with a ring-shaped support frame, of an X-ray mask to extend in the radial direction. On the other hand, corresponding mounts, as projecting portions, each having a spherical leading end are disposed at three positions on a mask chuck. The mask is held on the mask chuck at the three positions by engaging the corresponding V-shaped linear groove portions and the projecting portions.

An exposure apparatus for exposing a wafer to a mask with radiation light to thereby transfer a pattern of the mask onto the wafer, includes a light emitting portion for emitting the radiation light, a stepper major assembly having a wafer stage portion for holding the wafer and being supported by a supporting system separate from the light emitting portion, an alignment measuring portion for alignment measurement for the wafer and the mask and being supported by a supporting system separate from the stepper major assembly, and a correcting system for correcting attitude of the alignment measuring portion with respect to an optical axis of the radiation light.
摘要:
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 vacuum-attraction holding device includes a holding base having an attracting surface, for holding a substrate thereon; a suction passageway formed in the base, for supplying a vacuum to the holding base to attract the substrate to the attracting surface; and a pressure sensor provided in the base and being communicated with the suction passageway.
摘要:
An elevator supervisory system capable of managing abnormality data, operating condition data and car interior video data in association with one another, so that this data can be displayed in association with one another upon the occurrence of an abnormality.
