摘要： The present invention aims at reducing the number of scanning exposure and at enhancing throughput. the above-mentioned objective is achieved by allowing a substrate 14 to be placed in sideways with respect to a substrate holder 15a (placing the longer sides of the substrate in parallel to the shorter sides of the substrate holder) depending on the size of the apparatus and the size of the substrate 14. It is acceptable even when areas other than an effective exposure area of the substrate 14 should project out from the substrate holder.

摘要： The present invention aims at preventing deterioration of flatness of a substrate and contamination of a substrate-holding surface of a substrate holder, which are caused by a resist leaking into the back surface of the substrate. A substrate-holding surface of a substrate holder is provided with a first pair of grooves 31 and 32 extending from one end to the other along a scanning direction and a second pair of grooves 33 and 34 extending from one end to the other along a direction generally perpendicular to the scanning direction. The first and second grooves are positioned such that they make contact with the periphery of the substrate when the substrate is vertically or horizontally placed on the substrate holder. Even when a resist on a substrate leaks into the periphery of the back surface, the resist escapes into the grooves, thereby preventing deterioration of the flatness of the substrate or contamination of the substrate-holding surface.
摘要翻译：本发明的目的在于防止由于抗蚀剂渗透到基板的后表面而导致的基板的平坦度的劣化和基板保持件的基板保持表面的污染。基板保持器的基板保持表面是设置有沿着扫描方向从一端延伸到另一端的第一对槽31和32以及沿着与扫描方向大致垂直的方向从一端延伸到另一端的第二对槽33和34。第一和第二槽定位成使得当衬底垂直或水平放置在衬底保持器上时，它们与衬底的周边接触。即使当基板上的抗蚀剂泄漏到背面的周边时，抗蚀剂也可以逸出到槽中，从而防止基板的平坦度的劣化或基板保持面的污染。

摘要： An illumination device emits detection light toward the surface of a substrate from an oblique direction with respect to the substrate. The detection light is shaped into a slit beam by an optical shaper. An alteration device changes the width of the slit beam by controlling the optical shaper. The slit beam strikes the surface of the substrate through an optical element. The slit beam reflected from the surface of the substrate is oscillated along the width direction of the slit by a controlled oscillation mirror. A detector detects the surface height of the substrate based on the oscillating slit beam.

摘要： A projection exposure apparatus has a function to measure orthogonality between movement mirrors for interferometers for measuring positions of a substrate table in X and Y directions. The substrate table is moved by a distance L along a direction of a third axis which is included in an XY plane and inclined at an angle .alpha. with respect to a Y axis, while operating a movement mirror and an interferometer for the direction of the third axis. A component in the Y direction corresponding to the distance L in the direction of the third axis is defined as d. A movement distance of the substrate table in the X direction after movement of the substrate table by the distance L in the direction of the third axis is determined by the interferometer for measuring the position in the X direction, which is defined as S. An orthogonality error .theta. can be determined in accordance with .theta.=tan.sup.-1 [(d-S)/d]. The position of the substrate table can be correctly controlled by moving the substrate table while giving an offset to correct the error. This function can be also applied to a mask stage.

摘要： In a scanning type exposure apparatus for exposing an entire surface of a pattern region on a mask to a substrate by scanning the mask and the substrate with respect to a projection optical system in a predetermined direction with a speed ratio in accordance with a magnification of the projection optical system, there are provided a plurality of illumination optical systems for illuminating respective areas of the pattern region on the mask with respective light fluxes from respective light source; a plurality of projection optical systems arranged so as to correspond to the respective illumination optical systems, the projection optical systems projecting respective images of the areas illuminated by the respective illumination optical systems onto respective projection areas on the substrate; a memory device for obtaining and storing a change of shape of the substrate; a magnification changing device for changing a magnification of at least one of the projection optical systems in accordance with the change of shape of the substrate; and an imaging position changing device for changing the position of said image projected via the at least one projection optical systems in accordance with the change in magnification. An exposure apparatus for exposing a pattern of a mask onto a substrate includes an image transfer system, an imaging characteristic adjusting mechanism and an exposure system. The image transfer system projects the pattern of the mask onto the substrate while moving the mask and the substrate synchronously during the projection of the pattern onto the substrate such that portions of the pattern overlap each other. The imaging characteristic adjusting mechanism is disposed in a space between the mask and the substrate, and adjusts imaging characteristics of a portion of the image transfer system that projects the pattern onto the substrate. The exposure system exposes the pattern during the synchronous movement of the mask and the substrate by the image transfer system.
