The specific embodiment that the invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The present invention relates to a kind of lithographic equipment, including a basic platform, the work stage on the basic platform, mask Platform, work stage drive device, mask platform drive device and balance mass, wherein, the balance mass includes the first balance mass Block, the second balance mass block and connection the first balance mass block connect with the balance mass of the second balance mass block Part, the first balance mass block and the second balance mass block connect the work stage drive device and the mask respectively Platform drive device, the balance mass connector make the first balance mass block and the second balance mass block synchronous backward So as to realize, the work stage and the mask platform synchronous backward move during the lithographic equipment scan exposure for motion.
Alternatively, the first balance mass block is connected with the motor stator of the work stage drive device, and described second Balance mass block is connected with the motor stator of the mask platform drive device, when the electric mover band of the work stage drive device During dynamic work stage positive movement so that the motor stator of the work stage drive device drives the first balance mass block reverse Motion so that the second balance mass block drives the motor stator positive movement of the mask platform drive device so that described The electric mover of mask platform drive device drives the mask platform counter motion.
Alternatively, the first balance mass block is connected with the motor stator of the work stage drive device, and described second Balance mass block is connected with the motor stator of the mask platform drive device, when the electric mover band of the mask platform drive device During dynamic mask platform positive movement so that the motor stator of the mask platform drive device drives the second balance mass block reverse Motion so that the first balance mass block drives the motor stator positive movement of the work stage drive device so that described The electric mover of work stage drive device drives the work stage counter motion.
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of lithographic equipment involved in the present invention.As shown in figure 1, litho machine of the present invention include with Lower part:Projection objective 11, speculum group 10, speculum group 12, work stage, work stage drive device 13, balance mass 14, cover Die station, mask platform drive device 17, lighting unit 18, vibration absorption unit 15, basic platform 16.During scan exposure, mask On exposure figure be imaged on first at speculum group 10 by lighting unit 18, by the effect of speculum group 10, make image Into projection objective 11, the exposure figure after imaging is ultimately imaged the basal surface carried in work stage by speculum group 12, Realize exposure.During the scan exposure, mainly moved by the synchronous backward of work stage and mask platform in the Y direction and form scanning exposure Light.
Wherein, balance mass 14 connects including the first balance mass block 14a, the second balance mass block 14b with balance mass Part 14c, and balance mass connector 14c is used to connect the first balance mass block 14a, the second balance mass block 14b.
As shown in Fig. 2 work stage drive device 13, balance mass 14 is (in the part figure that balance mass 14 extends to both sides Be not shown) and the on-link mode (OLM) of mask platform drive device 17 it is as follows:By work stage drive device Y1 to illustrating exemplified by layout, workpiece The Y1 of platform drive device 13 connects the first balance mass block 14a to motor stator 22, and the Y1 of work stage drive device 13 is to motor Mover 21 is connected with work stage Chuck20, realizes motions of the work stage Chuck20 on work stage Y1 direction guiding rails 23, meanwhile, Second balance mass block 14b is connected with the Y1 of mask platform drive device 17 to motor stator 32, mask platform drive device 17 Y1 is connected to electric mover 31 with mask platform Chuck30, realizes fortune of the mask platform Chuck30 on mask platform Y1 direction guiding rails 33 It is dynamic.According to this catenation principle and mass conservation law, when the Y1 in work stage drive device 13 moves to electric mover 21 When, Y1 to motor stator 22 by equal in magnitude to electric mover 21 with the Y1 in work stage drive device 13, it is in opposite direction Active force, drive the first balance mass block 14a motion, meanwhile, the second balance mass block 14b by with the first balance mass block 14a is equal in magnitude, active force in opposite direction, drives the Y1 of mask platform drive device 17 to be moved to motor stator 32, similarly, covers The Y1 of die station drive device 17 is equal in magnitude to motor stator 32 by the Y1 with mask platform drive device 17 to electric mover 31, Active force in opposite direction, motions of the mask platform Chuck30 on mask platform Y1 direction guiding rails 33 is driven, realizes work stage Chuck20 and mask platform Chuck30 reverse sync are moved.
Further, since mask platform Chuck30 and need not all realize at any time it is synchronous with work stage Chuck20's fortune It is dynamic, only need to be synchronized with the movement in exposure process, therefore, as shown in Fig. 2 it is gentle also to include air supporting 14d in balance mass 14 Floating 14e, air film is formed between basic platform 16 and balance mass 14, realizes the balance matter of the first balance mass block 14a and second Gauge block 14b motion, when needing synchronous scanning, then air supporting is opened, realize mask platform Chuck30 and work stage Chuck20's Be synchronized with the movement, when work stage, which carries out substrate measurement and exposure field, to be switched, then close air supporting, make the first balance mass block 14a and Second balance mass block 14b is fixed on basic platform, and mask platform is by fine motion motor closed-loop control.
As shown in figure 3, enumerating the design of a balance mass 14, it is identical that balance mass connector 14c includes mechanism Upper-part 60, lower component 60 and centre linking arm 63, upper-part 60 and lower component 60 are moved along Y-direction jointly.In part 60 Portion designs guide rail 61, and guide rail 61 links top shoe 62 and sliding block 62, and sliding block 62 can realize the slip of Z-direction along guide rail 61, and two Realized and linked by linking arm 63 between individual sliding block 62.When mask platform Chuck30 and work stage Chuck20 do not have relative motion When, balance mass 14 is in A, B1, B2 states, when mask platform Chuck30 is along Y positive movements, the second balance mass block 14b by Acted in mask platform opposite force, along Y negative movements, now, lower component 60 and sliding block 62 along Y negative movements to B2 ' positions, by In the effect of linking arm 63 (moving to A '), the stress of top shoe 62 by B1 along Y positive movements to B1 ' positions, therefore the first balance Mass 14a is realized along Y positive movements, work stage Chuck20 realizes mask platform Chuck30 and work along Y negative movements Part platform Chuck20 counter motion, similarly, balance mass 14 are in A ", the process of B1 ' ', B2 " state, it is possible to achieve mask platform The relative motion of Chuck30 and work stage Chuck20 along another direction of Y.
As shown in figure 4, the design of another balance mass 14 is enumerated, by gear inside balance mass connector 14c 74th, conveyer belt 73, connector 71, connector 72 form.First balance mass block 14a passes through connector 71 and work stage Chuck20 connections, the second balance mass block 14b is linked by connector 72 and mask platform Chuck30, as mask platform Chuck30 During along Y positive movements, the second balance mass block 14b is because mask platform opposite force acts on, along Y negative movements, now, connector 72 Clockwise movement is produced with gear 74, meanwhile, band the first balance mass block 14a of connector 71 on gear 74 transports along Y is positive Dynamic, work stage Chuck20 realizes mask platform Chuck30 and work stage Chuck20 counter motion along Y negative movements.
The preferred embodiment of the simply present invention described in this specification, above example is only illustrating the present invention Technical scheme rather than limitation of the present invention.All those skilled in the art pass through logic analysis, reasoning under this invention's idea Or the limited available technical scheme of experiment, all should be within the scope of the present invention.
