Publication number: 20030012373Abstract: This invention is to inhibit people other than a specific person from browsing information in a semiconductor manufacturing system. The user of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus (e.g., an exposure system) encrypts, using a public key (5), confidential information (4) which should be kept secret to the vendor and stores the information in a memory (40). The user can decrypt the encrypted confidential information (4) using a private key (6). The user can also provide a private key (7) to the vendor, as needed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2002Publication date: January 16, 2003Applicant: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masaya Ogura, Hideki Ina, Nobuaki Ogushi

Publication number: 20010052967Abstract: The optical path of exposing light is sealed in its entirety inside a chamber, pressure inside the chamber is made higher than the pressure outside the chamber and the optical characteristics of a projection optics unit are corrected in accordance with the value of pressure inside the chamber. In an exposure apparatus using exposing light having a light-emission spectral line that overlaps the absorption spectrum region of oxygen, atmospheric oxygen outside the chamber can be prevented from penetrating the optical path of the exposing light, thereby making it possible to perform exposure under oxygen-free conditions. In addition, the optimum projected image can be obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2001Publication date: December 20, 2001Inventors: Masaya Ogura, Eiichi Murakami, Nobuaki Ogushi
