  • Publication number: 20170329128
    Abstract: The present invention employs an actuator including: a movable portion connected to a reflecting member having a reflective surface; a movable comb electrode disposed at a distance from the reflecting member, supported by the movable portion, and extended in a direction parallel to the reflective surface; a stationary comb electrode supported by a supporting portion, extends in the direction parallel to the reflective surface, and disposed alternately with the movable comb electrode; and a voltage controller that applies a voltage to the movable comb electrode and the stationary comb electrode to displace the movable comb electrode and the movable portion in a direction normal to the reflective surface. A portion that supports the movable comb electrode and a portion that supports the stationary comb electrode are disposed such that the movable comb electrode and the stationary comb electrode pass each other.

  • Patent number: 8411255
    Abstract: A method of forming a pattern with dots or holes arranged in a two-dimensional period by illuminating, with illumination light, a mask having a light-shielding portion pattern on a translucent substrate, and performing projection and exposure of an object to be exposed through a projection optical system. The illumination light is an effective light source of multipole illumination. A first exposure process is performed with the mask placed at a first position relative to the object to be exposed, and a second exposure process is performed with the mask placed at a second position. The mask has line patterns having lines with a line width a [m] arranged in parallel at a pitch of P. The line patterns are arranged in a mesh such that the line patterns intersect one another at 60° in three directions, and the illumination light is an effective light source of hexapole illumination.

  • Publication number: 20100283987
    Abstract: Using a mask in which line patterns are arranged in X and Y directions each at a pitch of P, first exposure is performed at a first position, and then the position of the mask is shifted in the X and Y directions by P/2 and second exposure is performed.
