  • Patent number: 5748288
    Abstract: The present invention provides spot-illumination of a specific size having sufficiently homogeneous light intensity distribution, with a small and inexpensive apparatus. A lighting assembly condenses the light from light source 1 with condensing-reflecting member 2. An optical integrator 3 receives at its one end the light via condensing-reflecting member 2 and emits from the other end after making the light intensity distribution homogeneous A projection lens system 4 projects the emitting surface of optical integrator 3 onto an emitted surface. By shifting the relative positioning between the lighting assembly and the substrate 11, and adjusting the distance between the substrate 11 and the mask 12, which stores a pattern to be formed, a specified area of the exposure surface 11a is scanned and exposed to have a mask pattern transcribed on the exposure surface 11a.

  • Patent number: 5231467
    Abstract: A position signal producing apparatus, for an apparatus for project-printing a pattern on a reticle onto a wafer through a project lens system with exposure light, for producing a position signal indicative of the position of the wafer is disclosed, wherein two different frequency components of alignment light whose frequencies are different from that of the exposure light are interfered with each other at a position alignment blank to form interference fringes having a given pitch. The interference fringes are projected onto a diffraction grating through an achromatizing optical system and the project lens system. Diffracted light returning from the diffraction grating is received by a photodetector which provides a light beat signal. A position deviation signal obtained by phase comparison of the light beat signal provides position alignment by controlling relative positions between the position alignment blank and the diffraction grating.
