Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithographic apparatus which produces downsized devices at low cost without increasing a processing time. SOLUTION: The lithographic apparatus includes an exposure unit 10 that exposes parallel lines on a target area of a substrate W by projecting two beams of radiation 12, 13 onto the substrate. The two beams of radiation 12, 13 are projected such that they interfere with each other to form a plurality of parallel lines. An actuator 17 continuously moves the substrate W relative to the exposure unit, while the exposure unit 10 exposes the parallel lines on the target areas on the substrate.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an illumination source which is controlled variably for usage in lithography equipment. SOLUTION: A device includes a variable illumination field to be used for lithographic plotting in order to manufacture a semiconductor. Concerning the device and its method, an illumination system is arranged, which includes a variable optical element having the array of address capable of designating elements which are respectively arranged and constituted to have variable transmittance.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithography system and a method thereof capable of realizing a more minute structure and a flexible lithography system. SOLUTION: An exposure apparatus has at least one individually controllable element array for exposing a pattern on a substrate by combining first and second exposures. By the exposure apparatus in the first exposure, the individual controllable element array 11 of the exposure apparatus modulates a radiation beam and projects it on a substrate, and a repetitive pattern is formed. Also in the second exposure, the individually controllable element array 21 of the exposure apparatus modulates a radiation beam and projects it on a substrate W. A size of an exposure area on the substrate corresponding to one individually controllable element is larger in the second exposure than in the first exposure. The pattern to be projected on the substrate by the first exposure has a comparatively high resolution. On the contrary to this, the second exposure has a comparatively low resolution, but it can improve flexibility. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
LITHOGRAPHIC APPARATUS AND DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD USING MULTIPLE EXPOSURES AND MULTIPLE EXPOSURE TYPES A lithographic apparatus and method in which a relatively high resolution exposure, for example of a repeating pattern, is trimmed using a relatively low resolution exposure. According, a compromise between provision of a high resolution pattern and flexibility in the pattern to be formed is provided. Figure 14b
