Abstract:
PURPOSE: A stage cleaner, a lithography apparatus, and a substrate processing apparatus are provided to maintain the gap between a plate and a stage by blowing gas between the plate and the stage. CONSTITUTION: A plate shape member has a through hole. The through hole is formed at the center of the plate(12). A rising apparatus lifts the plate. The plate is moved to a foreign material to remove the foreign material from the stage(10) on the end of the plate. An air is blown between the plate and the stage to maintain the cap between the plate and the stage constant.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical head device which can prevent deposition of contaminations on the surface of an emission lens and decrease in the output of laser light for exposure, and keep favorable drawing accuracy, resolution or inspection capability. SOLUTION: The device is provided with: a first air flow jetting means to jet gas downward through an air flow hole 6 formed on the lower face of a substrate part 3; and a second air flow jetting means to jet gas downward through a beam passing hole 5 where the exit lens 2 emits a light beam downward. A high-pressure gas layer is formed between an object 105 and the lower face of the substrate part 3 by the gas jetted by the first and second air flow jetting means, and the gap between the object 105 and the lower face of the substrate part 3 is kept constant by the equilibrium of the pressure and weight of the gas layer.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for drawing a pattern with high accuracy by suppressing fluctuation in the exposure light quantity caused by the difference in the output of energy beams when a pattern is drawn by multiple drawing (multi-path drawing). SOLUTION: In the drawing method by using a raster scan system, the energy beams are made to scan by overlapping different stripes (paths) in the X direction for multiple drawing so as to obtain specified exposure light quantity by overlapping the beams. The multiple drawing is carried out based on the overlap of strips in the X direction which optimizes the exposure state of the resist layer in the region produced by overlapping.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stage cleaner surely reducing foreign matter on a stage used in a drawing apparatus, an inspection apparatus and the like. SOLUTION: A clearance between a plate 12 and a stage 10 is kept constant by blowing gas between the plate 12 having a through-hole 11 and the stage 10 of the stage cleaner, and when the plate 12 is moved in this condition, foreign matter 13 on the stage 10 is removed by the edge of the plate 12. The stage cleaner can be installed to be used, for example, in the drawing apparatus and the like. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a pattern while applying distortion correction to each thin film, and accurately overlay these patters in a photomask having the pattern for transfer by patterning a plurality of thin films. SOLUTION: The method of manufacturing the photomask includes a first patterning process of forming a first pattern by applying a photolithography process to the first thin film formed on a transparent substrate, and a second patterning process of forming a second pattern by applying the photolithography process to the second thin film formed on the transparent substrate. The first patterning process includes a first drawing step, and the second patterning process includes a second drawing step. The first drawing step and second drawing step include drawing using a correction coordinate system subjected to the same distortion correction. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
