摘要： An XY stage for precision movement for use in aligning a wafer in a microlithography system. A main stage supporting the wafer straddles a movable beam that is magnetically driven in a first linear direction in the XY plane. A follower stage, mechanically independent of the main stage, also moves in the first linear (X) direction and its motion is electronically synchronized by a control system with the main stage motion in the X direction. Electromagnetic drive motors include magnetic tracks mounted on the follower stage which cooperate with motor coils mounted on the edges of the main stage to move the main stage in a second linear (Y) direction normal to the X direction. Thus the main stage is isolated from mechanical disturbances in the XY plane since there is no mechanical connections and is lightened by removing the weight of the magnetic tracks from the beam. A cable follower stage moves in the Y direction on the follower stage and supports the cables connecting to the main stage, thereby reducing cable drag. An air circulation system is provided in the magnetic tracks on the follower stage to remove heat from operation of the electromagnetic motors. Air is removed from a central region of each track by a vacuum duct enhanced by air plugs fitting at the two ends of the motor coil assembly on the main stage to contain the air therein.

摘要： A lithography system for X-ray or other beam printing on a substrate such as a silicon semiconductor wafer comprises a beam chamber (301), a beam source (302), means (309) for mounting a mask, means (308) for mounting an image sensing means (342) interiorly of the chamber, means (317, 318), for mounting a substrate (307) in multiple including six degrees of freedom and means (308, 292, 320-322) including the image sensing means to align the mask and substrate relative to one another utilizing alignment patterns on the mask and substrate, images of which are brought into registration and sensed by the image sensing means. In a preferred embodiment three sets of target images are provided so as to adjust the substrate and mask relative orientation in six degrees of freedom. The mask seals helium within the chamber. The mask and the substrate are aligned in situ in the same position in which the mask and substrate are to be exposed to the beam. Means (313, 314, 311, 312) are provided for loading masks, calibration assemblies and substrate-holding means. The source-to-substrate distance is adjustable as is the mask-to-substrate gap. To conserve helium volume adjustable optic objectives (342) are provided in the chamber to sense registration of alignment targets on each of the mask and substrate, with essentially the remainder of the optics outside the chamber. Improved compression optics (408) are also provided in the alignment system.
