  • Patent number: 11543755
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device by using an exposure apparatus having a reticle stage and a projection optical system includes a first period in which substrates are exposed by using a first reticle arranged on the reticle stage, a second period in which substrates are exposed by using a second reticle arranged on the reticle stage, and a third period which is between the first and second periods. The method includes changing, in at least part of the third period, the first reticle arranged on the reticle stage to the second reticle, and performing control, in the first and second periods, to adjust temperature distribution of an optical element of the projection optical system so as to reduce change in aberration of the projection optical system.

  • Publication number: 20220153043
    Abstract: A printing device includes: a printing unit printing on a recording paper; a feeder unit having a roller that rotates about a shaft and feeds the recording paper and a motor that rotates the shaft; a detection unit detecting the rotation of the shaft; and a control unit controlling the printing unit. The control unit calculates an electrifying time during which the printing unit is electrified and a non-electrifying time during which the printing unit is not electrified following the electrifying time, based on a detection signal from the detection unit. When the calculated non-electrifying time is less than a predetermined time, the control unit corrects the non-electrifying time in such a way that the non-electrifying time becomes equal to or longer than the predetermined time, and causes the printing unit to print.
