    Abstract: PURPOSE:To enable the X-ray shielding plates to be arrayed at high-precision intervals easily and in a short time by a method wherein, after the X-ray shielding plates and the spacers are alternately laminated, the laminated X-ray shielding plates are mutually fixed at both end parts thereof, then the spacers are removed. CONSTITUTION:X-ray shielding plates 1 and spacers 2 are alternately laminated, and after that, the laminated X-ray shielding plates 1 are mutually fixed at both end parts thereof. By heating the whole sit structure, wherein the spacers are included, obtain in such a manner, the spacers 2 only between the laminated X-ray shielding plates 1 are removed by burning. By this way, the X-ray shielding plates 1 consisting of a metal plate and so forth can be laminatedly arrayed at high-precision intervals easily and in a short time.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To contrive to curtail sharply exposing time to be necessitated for exposure having high resolving power by a method wherein a high resolving power exposure process to expose a pattern having high resolving power, and a subexposure process to project a beam of small quantity on a substance to be exposed are combined. CONSTITUTION:High resolving power exposure to project a beam 1 on a wafer 6 through a mask 3 possessing a mask pattern 4 is performed. A subexposure process to project a beam 2 to a sensitizer 5 by the proper irradiation dose of the irradiation dose D0 or less to be decided according to the sensitizer 5 and development, etc. without passing through the mask 3 is combined to before, after or both of before and after of the process thereof. When the irradiation dose of the sum of the irradiation dose projected by the subexposure process thereof, and the irradiation dose projected by the high resolving power exposure process exceeds the irradiation dose D0, the sensitizer 5 is exposed selectively to the beam not absorbed to the pattern 4, and a fine pattern is formed after development. By using the subexposure process like this together, exposing time can be curtailed sharply.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for producing a crystal article, capable of inhibiting the generation and increase of a supercooled region and capable of growing an uniform crystal. SOLUTION: This device for producing a crystal article is provided with a crystal growth oven which has a crucible for receiving a raw material, a heater for melting a raw material received in the crucible and a moving means for relatively moving the crucible to the heater, and is used for cooling the raw material melted in the crucible and thereby growing the crystal. Therein, the improvement comprises detecting the generation of latent heat from the temperature change of the crucible or heater or the change of a heat flow speed, determining the speed of the crystal growth and the position of a solid- liquid interface, and controlling the lowering speed of the crucible or a temperature distribution so that the growth speed is a prescribed value.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To equalize errors and to improve the accuracy or the degree of resolution by a method, wherein the image of a plurality of mask pattern is exposed in overlap on the same region to be exposed using an X-ray proximity system. SOLUTION: First, a fine pattern is exposed with an exposure 1. Then, a rough pattern having the line width of three periods of the fine pattern is exposed with an exposure 1. As a result, the exposed part of the fine pattern in overlap and the rough pattern is exposed by exposure 2, and the exposed part, where fine pattern only and rough pattern only are exposed, is exposed by exposure 1 and other part is exposed by exposure zero. At this point, an exposure threshold Ds is set between the exposures 1 and 2, and the exposed part only of the fine pattern in overlap and the rough pattern can be developed. As a result, the errors in a plurality of mask patterns can be equalized, or the high degree of resolution part of the transferred image of a plurality of mask patterns are emphasized, and the accuracy of exposure and the degree of resolution can be improved.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide a synchrotron aligner of high precision at a low cost. CONSTITUTION:Radiation light from a synchrotron ring 1001 is magnified in the specified direction with a convex mirror 1002, up to the size which can irradiate collectively the region to be exposed. Exposure time is so adjusted that the dose in the exposed region is made constant with a shutter 1003. When the mirror 1002 is slightly vibrated at high speed with a vibration mechanism 1000, fine irregularity of the irradiation light irradiated on the exposure region is practically averaged, and uniform exposure is enabled.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide a method for measuring X-ray spectrum in the vacuum highly accurately. CONSTITUTION:An organic thin film of amorphous structure composed of a light element having atomic number of 11 or below is irradiated with X-ray. Scattered and attenuated X-rays is then measured and the spectra of incident X-ray is determined based on the measurements and the scattering efficiency of the organic thin film. Since the scattering factor of the thin film is difficult to be determined through calculation, comparison is made with a scattering intensity of a gas (e.g. He) having known scattering factor thus determining the scattering efficiency of the organic thin film.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To suppress unevenness of exposure by a constitution wherein a plurality of pulse lights expose respective points on a substrate to be exposed and the intensity of light is substantially set at zero at the opposite ends in the scanning direction of the region on a mask irradiated with the pulse light. CONSTITUTION:Pulse light emitted from a laser light source 5 is magnified by means of lenses 6a, 6b before it is projected onto a mask 1 through a filter 8, an aperture 2, and lenses 7a, 7b. A pattern on the mask 1 is projected onto a wafer 3 coated with a photosensitive material through a demagnification projection optical system 4. The filter 8 has such transmissivity distribution as the intensity distribution of flux impinging on the mask 1 substantially approaches zero at the opposite ends thereof in the scanning direction. In the embodiment, the intensity takes the form of Gaussian distribution on the mask 1.
