    • An exposure method, exposure apparatus and mask are suitable for manufacturing an active matrix liquid crystal display including, for example, a gate electrode layer and a source/drain electrode layer. A stitching portion between unit patterns in a second layer is offset from the stitching portion in a first layer by a predetermined distance. The stitching portions of the second layer are always positioned over unit patterns of the first layer. Accordingly, the contrast gap that occurs at the stitching portion as a boundary is defined only by an error in the exposure position of the second layer. The contrast gap is not affected by an error in the exposure position of the first layer, unlike the conventional method. Because the contrast gap caused by the error in the exposure position of the first layer is eliminated, the total contrast gap that occurs at the stitching portion as a boundary is significantly reduced.
    • 曝光方法,曝光装置和掩模适用于制造包括例如栅极电极层和源极/漏极电极层的有源矩阵液晶显示器。 第二层中的单元图案之间的缝合部分在第一层中与缝合部分偏移预定距离。 第二层的缝合部分总是位于第一层的单位图案之上。 因此,在作为边界的缝合部分发生的对比度间隙仅由第二层的曝光位置的误差限定。 与传统方法不同,对比度间隙不受第一层的曝光位置的误差的影响。 由于消除了由第一层的曝光位置的误差引起的对比度间隙,所以在作为边界的缝合部分发生的总对比度间隙显着减小。

    • The present invention is directed to scanning exposure apparatus and exposure method to achieve simultaneous projection of images of plural regions on a mask onto a photosensitive substrate with correcting an orthogonality error of a pattern on the mask or photosensitive substrate.

    • The invention pertains to optical projection-exposure apparatus for photolithography that can focus a pattern defined by a mask onto a non-flat substrate. In one embodiment, piezoelectric elements are used as an actuator for adjusting the optical path length between the mask and the substrate. A first reflector reflects a light flux transmitted by the mask. A telecentric optical system then forms an image of the mask in a focal plane. A second reflector reflects the light flux from the telecentric perpendicularly onto the substrate. The actuator moves the first or second reflectors, changing the optical path length of the light flux. A focus sensor detects the height of the sensitized surface of the substrate in a direction perpendicular to the sensitized surface of the substrate and thereby provides a focus signal to the actuator. The actuator then moves the focal plane to the sensitized surface.

    • An exposure apparatus and an exposure method which minimize defocusing of the transferred pattern even with a large-sized mask. When the exposure apparatus is used which transfers the pattern formed on a first substrate through a substantially real-size projection optical system onto a second substrate, the positions of the mask and the substrate are detected, and based on the information on the positions the distance between the mask and the substrate is controlled to be substantially constant. According to the present invention, defocusing of the transferred pattern may be substantially avoided by detecting positions of the mask and the plate by making use of, e.g., an obliquely incident light focus detection optical system, and controlling the distance therebetween to be held constant or at a predetermined distance.
