)圖中,朝強化磁極24^的磁力的 方向將電流流在磁極24a,24b側的線圈27a。一方面,在 磁極24c,24d側的線圈27b不會流著電流。結果,磁極 200839929 24a是磁力被強化之故’因而與壓印板8的凸極8a有力地 互相引拉,令磁極2 4 a與凸極8 a成爲相對位置。磁極2 4 b 是相對於壓印板8的凸極8 b與凸極8 c之間的非磁性體8 3 之故,因而不會發生磁力。磁極2 4 c與磁極2 4 d是分別與 位於斜方向的凸極8d與凸極8f互相引拉。 之後,在第16(b)圖中,停止磁極24 a,24b側的線 圈27a的電流,而在磁極24c,24d側的線圈27b,這次爲 強化磁極24d的磁力般地流著電流。結果·,磁極24d與凸 極8f是有力地互相引拉。磁極24c是相對於壓印板8的 凸極8d與凸極8e之間的非磁性體83之後’因而不會與 凸極8d互相引拉。因此,令磁極24d與凸極8f相對般地 ,壓印板8是對於推力發生手段2,朝同圖左方向移動。 磁極24a與磁極24b是分別與斜方向的凸極8a與凸極8c 互相引拉。 之後,在第16 ( c)圖中,停止磁極2“,24d側的線 圈2 7b的電流,而在磁極24a,24b側的線圈27a,這次爲 強化磁極24b的磁力般地流著電流。結果,磁極24b與凸 極8c是有力地互相引拉。磁極24a是相對於壓印板8的 凸極8a與凸極8b之間的非磁性體83之後,因而不會與 凸極8a互相引拉。因此,令磁極24b與凸極8c相對般地 ,壓印板8是對於推力發生手段2,朝同圖在方向移動。 磁極24c與磁極24d是分別與斜方向的凸極8e與凸極8f 互相引拉。 之後,在第16 ( d )圖中,停止磁極24a,24b側的線 200839929 圈27a的電流,而在磁極24c,24d側的線圈27b,這次爲 強化磁極24c的磁力般地流著電流。結果,磁極24c與凸 極8e是有力地互相引拉。磁極24(1是相對於壓印板8的 凸極8f與凸極8g之間的非磁性體83之後,因而不會與 凸極8f互相引拉。因此,令磁極24c與凸極8e相對般地 ,壓印板8是對於推力發生手段2,朝同圖在方向移動。 磁極24a與磁極24b是分別與斜方向的凸極8b與凸極8c 互相引拉。 又,移動至第1 6 ( d )圖的位置之後,藉由將電流流 在線圈27b,就可將壓印板8,亦即平面平台5保持在第 16(d)的位置。 專利文獻1 :日本特開平9-23689號公報 【發明內容】 在表示於上述的第11圖及第12圖的ΧΥ0移動平台 中,使得被載置於平面板6的基板(工件)大型化,而若 平面板6的移動範圍變大,則僅配置著3個推力發生手段 2的情形,如第1

移動平面板6時,會產生很大的力矩之故,因而推力發生 手段2是爲了制動平面平台5成爲需要極大力量’而使得 控制平面板6的微小的移動成爲更困難。 本發明的目的,是在於提供鑑於上述的問題點,對於 平台底座把空氣浮起的板,藉由被固定於平台底座的推力 發生手段所發生的推力以非接觸進行移動的平台裝置中, 而使令板位於其移動範圍的任何位置,也容易地可進行控 制板的微小移動的平台裝置。又,本發明的其他目的,是

的Υ方向移動距離。亦即,藉由X方向雷射干涉計1 1與 Υ方向雷射干涉計1 2,檢測來自平面板6的原點位置的移 動距離,而將該檢測訊號輸出至控制部1 3。在控制部1 3 依據檢測訊號而運算平面板6的位置座標。在控制部1 3, 事先對於平面板6的位置座標,記憶著複數X方向推力發 生手段21-1〜2 1-4與Υ方向推力發生手段22-1〜22-5中, 動作那一個推力發生手段的情報。控制部1 3是選擇依據 該資訊須動作的平台裝置進行動作。 以下,使用第3圖至第5圖,針對於上述平台裝置的 動作加以說明。此些圖式,是表示圖示於第1圖的平台裝 置的工件處理部14與平面板6與9個推力發生手段(X 方向推力發生手段21-1〜21-4,Υ方向推力發生手段22-1〜22-5 )的關係的圖式。 首先,在第3 ( a )圖中,平面板6位於工件處理部 14的左下時,將平面板6的位置座標作爲(0,0)〔方便 上將平面板6的左下隅角的位置作爲位置座標(0,0)〕 。同樣地,在第3 ( b )圖中,將平面板6位於工件處理部 1 4的右下時的平面板6的位置座標作爲(2,0 ),同樣地 ,在第3 ( c )圖中,將平面板6位於工件處理部14的左 上時的平面板6的位置座標作爲(0,2),同樣地,在第 4(d)圖中,將平面板6位於工件處理部14的右上時的 -15- 200839929 平面板6的位置座標作爲(2,2)。因此,平面板6是成 爲移動位置座標(0,0 )〜(2,2 )的範圍。如此,對應 於位置座標(0,0)〜(2,2)區分平面板6的移動範圍 ,而由X方向推力發生手段21-1〜2 1-4及Y方向推力發生 手段22-1〜22-5中來選擇對應於所區分的位置座標(0,0 )〜(2,2 )進行動作的推力發生手段,並將其資訊被記 憶在控制部。 如第4 ( e )圖所示地,控制部1 3是一直到平面板6 的位置座標爲(〇,〇)〜(1,1)爲止,亦即位於(0S X<1,OS Y<1 )的範圍時,則在該移動範圍內將平面板6 下的4個推力發生手段(X方向推力發生手段2 1 -1,2 1 -3 ,Y方向推力發生手段22-2,22-3 )確實地動作,俾移動 平面板6。該4個推力發生手段是X方向推力發生手段 21-1,21-3與Y方向推力發生手段22-2,22-3之故,因 而可將平面板6朝XY 0方向的任意方向移動。 同樣地,如第4 ( f)圖所示地,控制部13是一直到 平面板6的位置座標爲(1 ’ 〇 )〜(2,1 )爲止,亦即位 於(1 S X<2,0 S Y<1 )的範圍時,則在該移動範圍內將 平面板6下的4個推力發生手段(X方向推力發生手段 21-3,21-4,Y方向推力發生手段22-3,22-5)確實地動 作,俾移動平面板6。又,如第5(g)圖所示地,控制部 13是一直到平面板6的位置座標爲(〇 ’ 1 )〜(1,2 )爲 止,亦即位於(0 ‘ X<1 ’ 1 ‘ Y<2 )的範圍時,則在該移 動範圍內將平面板6下的4個推力發生手段(X方向推力 -16- 200839929 發生手段21-1,21-2,Y方向推力發生手段22-1,22-3) 確實地動作,俾移動平面板6。又,如第5 ( h )圖所示地 ,控制部1 3是一直到平面板6的位置座標爲(1,1 )〜( 2,2 )爲止,亦即位於(1‘又<2,1^丫<2)的範圍時, 則在該移動範圍內將平面板6下的4個推力發生手段(X 方向推力發生手段21-2,21-4,Y方向推力發生手段22-3 ,22-4 )確實地動作,俾移動平面板6。 φ 如上述,在該平台裝置中,若平面板6在其移動範圍 內,即使在任一位置(座標),也可令4個推力發生手段 配置成必須在平面板6下。亦即,平面板6的移動是利用 2個X方向推力發生手段與2個Y方向推力發生手段所進 行。但是,爲了朝ΧΥ0方向移動平面板6,在先前申請 (日本特願2006-34071 )也說明,推力發生手段是若有3 個(X方向推力發生手段2個與Y方向推力發生手段1個 ,或X方向推力發生手段1個與Y方向推力發生手段2 # 個)就可朝X方向,Y方向及0方向移動。因此,在平面 板6的移動範圍內,至少配置推力發生手段成爲至少3個 推力發生手段可到平面板6的下面也可以。例如在第4 ( e )圖至第5(h)圖中,4個推力發生手段中除掉Y方向推 力發生手段22-3也可以。 使用第6圖至第10圖來說明本發明的第2實施形態 〇 第6圖至第10圖是表示用以說明本實施形態的發明 的平台裝置的構成及動作的俯視圖。 -17- 200839929

同樣之故,因而省略說明。又,複數的基準支撐構件或補 助支撐構件是省略而未圖示,惟其具體性構成是分別與在 第1 4圖及第1 5圖所說明者同樣之故,因而省略說明。又 ,XY 0移動平台之移動原理亦與第1 6圖中說明者同樣之 故,因而省略說明。又,用以檢測平面板6的位置的X方 向雷射干涉計與Y方向雷射干涉計也省略而未圖示,輸入 者惟藉由此些雷射干涉計檢測來自平面板6的原點位置的

apparatus applied to the apparatus of the above application; Fig. 12 is a plan view of the stage. Further, Fig. 11 is a plan view showing a table in which a 12th workpiece is moved or inspected, and a platform is moved, and a weight platform device is known. The platform device or the Sawyer platform device (the salient pole of the Sawyer body is flat). The magnetic force applied to the moving magnetic force constitutes 3 4 〇7 1 , the proposed motive platform device) 9 ΧΥ 0 mobile platform purpose XY 0 moving flat I represents the AA cross-section of the XY 0 moving graph - 4 - 200839929 In the formula, 1 is a base plate loaded with a χγ 0 mobile platform or a platform base constituting a base frame, 2 is a thrust generating means fixed to the platform base 1, and 3 is a reference supporting member fixed to the platform base 1, 4 It is a supplementary supporting member fixed to the platform base 1, and 5 is a flat platform composed of a flat plate 6, a honeycomb core 7, and a platen 8, and 6 is a flat for holding and holding the workpiece 9 exposed on the surface. The panel 7 is provided on the back side of the flat plate 6 (on the side opposite to the side on which the workpiece 9 is held). Even if the flat plate 6 is made thin and light, the honeycomb core is provided to maintain rigidity. Panel 6 back, via 7 honeycomb core, and is divided into a plurality of platen gap 81 therebetween installed, the work piece 9, 10 is a projection lens. As shown in the drawings, the thrust generating means 2 is provided with a moving magnetic field in the X direction and the Υ direction orthogonal to the plane of the platen 8 for moving the flat plate 6, and for the platen 8. The magnetic pole of the moving magnetic field in the direction of the 0 rotation axis around the coordinate axis orthogonal to the plane. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the thrust generating means 2 has the X-direction thrust generating means 21 disposed in the direction of the X-axis in the direction of the moving magnetic field, and the thrust axis in the direction of the moving magnetic field. The direction of the two is configured in the Υ direction 22. When the yaw direction thrust generating means 22 is not moved and the magnetic field of the X direction thrust generating means 21 is moved, the plane plate 6 is moved in the X direction. When the magnetic field of the X-direction thrust generating means 21 is moved in the same direction without moving the magnetic field of the X-direction thrust generating means 21, the plane plate 6 is moved in the x direction. When the magnetic field of the X-direction thrust generating means 21 is not moved and the magnetic fields of the two thrust direction generating means 22 -5 - 200839929 are moved in the opposite directions, the flat plate 6 is rotationally moved in the 0-axis rotation direction. The reference support member 3 is provided in plurality for supporting the flat plate 6, even if the flat plate 6 is moved to any position within its range of movement, and is often disposed below the flat panel 6 at a position where the flat plate 6 can be supported. The field of exposure is in the field surrounding the reference supporting member 3, so that the field of exposure does not have a skew or shake, and the exposure process can be performed in a stable state. In addition, the support member 4 is provided in such a manner that one or more of the support flat members 6 are wider than the area occupied by the flat plate 6, and are disposed in a distributed manner in all of the fields in which the flat plate 6 is moved. Thereby, the plane plate 6 is moved within its range of movement, and often the plane plate 6 is supported by the auxiliary support structure 4 in addition to the reference support member 3, even if a bias load is applied to the plane plate 6, The flat plate 6 also does not cause the flat plate 6 to be skewed or shaken, and in a stable state, exposure processing can be performed. Further, the thrust generating means 2, the reference supporting member 3, and the auxiliary supporting member 4 eject air to the surface of the flat stage 5, and float the flat plate 6 with air pressure. The flat plate 6 is a surface in which the surface is machined with high precision, and a vacuum suction groove (not shown) for holding the workpiece 9 is formed, and a vacuum pipe is connected. The platen 8 has a salient pole formed in a checkerboard shape, and is buried between the salient poles by a resin crucible, and then is flattened by a plane. The platen 8 is divided into a plurality of sheets, and the gaps 8 1 are provided, so that the flat plate 6 is made of aluminum which is easy to machine. For this reason, the platen 8 is made of pure iron, and the coefficient of thermal expansion is not the same. Therefore, the phase difference of the thermal expansion is absorbed by the gap 81 to prevent deformation of the flat plate 6 due to warpage or the like. Fig. 13 is a perspective view showing an example of a specific configuration of the thrust generating means 2, -6 - 200839929, and the thrust generating means 2 is a leaf spring 23 attached to the platform base 1 with a degree of freedom (up and down). And the magnetic pole 24 which is mounted on 23 and which moves a magnetic field in one axial direction. Air ejection holes 25 are provided on the surface of the magnetic poles 24, and air for the floating panel 6 is supplied. Fig. 14 is a cross-sectional view showing a specific configuration of the reference supporting member 3, and the reference supporting member 3 is a pedestal having an air ejection hole 31, a pad 32 fixed to the platform base 1 and supporting the air cushion 32, and an air cushion. 32 is supported by the spherical bearing 34 of the pedestal 33. 32 is a discharge hole 31 having a surface in which a porous or perforated surface is ejected, and the spherical bearing 34 is freely swayable. Fig. 15 is a cross-sectional view showing a specific configuration of the auxiliary supporting member 4. The auxiliary supporting member 4 is composed of a pad 42 having an air ejection hole 41, a middle table 43 supporting the air cushion 42, and a cylinder 43 to the cylinder. A shaft 44 in 45, a cylinder 45 fixed to the platform base 1 and supporting the middle 43 , and a spherical surface 46 supporting the air cushion 42 to the intermediate stage 43 are provided. The auxiliary support member 4 is given by the cylinder 4 5 by the change. With the air pressure, the shaft 44 is moved up and down with an arbitrary thrust, and the pad 42 can be adjusted to an arbitrary height. Further, the operation of the XY 0 shifting station will be described using Figs. 1 to 15 . First, after the height of the reference support member 3 is set, air is supplied to the cylinder 45 of the auxiliary support member 4, and the upper portion 44 is placed. The air pressure supplied to the cylinder 45 of the auxiliary supporting member 4 is a pressure at which the thrust of the self-weight deflection of the flat platform 5 can be obtained. To the slab, and to flatten a case of gas 33, the air-stretching table bearing of the air cushion air is supplied with a pneumatic flat, and the lifting shaft is used to avoid the self-weight deflection of the 200839929 plane platform 5, which is from the plane platform 5 The size and weight of the reference support member 3 or the auxiliary support member 4 are calculated in advance by calculation. Thereafter, the flat stage 5 is placed on the air cushion 32 of the reference support member 3 and the air cushion 42 of the auxiliary support member 4. The thrust generating means 2 is a parallel plate spring 23 that extends and supports the thrust generating means 2 by its own magnetic force, and is pulled toward the platen 8 provided on the back surface of the flat plate 6. In the air cushion 32 of the reference support member 3, the air cushion 42 of the auxiliary support member 4 and the thrust generating means 2 supply air, and when the air is ejected from the surface, the flat platform 5 floats for the air cushions 32, 42 and the thrust generating means 2. For the exposure processing, the workpiece 9 is placed on the flat plate 6. By moving the magnetic field of the X-direction thrust generating means 21 and the Y-direction thrust generating means 22, the plane platform 5 is moved in the XY plane, and the light-irradiating portion (not shown) irradiates the exposure light through the mask, and is repeatedly used in steps. The workpiece 9 in the field of the complex exposure is divided, and exposure is performed by moving the field according to the division. After the exposure of the entire field is completed, the workpiece 9 is carried out from the flat plate 6. Hereinafter, the principle of movement of the XY 0 mobile platform will be described using Fig. 16. The same figure shows a cross-sectional view showing the relationship between the platen 8 provided on the flat stage 5 and the magnetic poles 24 provided in the thrust generating means 2. In each of the turns 127a and 27b which are wound around the magnetic poles 24a to 24d, a current is generated by a current flowing from a drive circuit (not shown) in the following order, and the magnetic poles 24 are moved in the direction of the periphery. First, in the 16th (a) diagram, a current flows in the direction of the magnetic force of the magnetic pole 24^ to the coil 27a on the side of the magnetic poles 24a, 24b. On the other hand, current does not flow to the coil 27b on the side of the magnetic poles 24c, 24d. As a result, the magnetic poles 200839929 24a are magnetically strengthened. Thus, the salient poles 8a of the platen 8 are strongly pulled toward each other, so that the magnetic poles 24a and the salient poles 8a are in relative positions. The magnetic pole 2 4 b is a non-magnetic body 8 3 between the salient pole 8 b and the salient pole 8 c of the platen 8, so that no magnetic force is generated. The magnetic poles 2 4 c and the magnetic poles 2 4 d are mutually attracted to the salient poles 8d and the salient poles 8f in the oblique direction, respectively. Then, in the 16th (b)th view, the current of the coil 27a on the magnetic poles 24a, 24b side is stopped, and the coil 27b on the magnetic poles 24c, 24d side flows a current like the magnetic force of the reinforcing magnetic pole 24d. As a result, the magnetic pole 24d and the salient pole 8f are strongly pulled toward each other. The magnetic pole 24c is rearward with respect to the non-magnetic body 83 between the salient pole 8d and the salient pole 8e of the platen 8, and thus does not pull from the salient pole 8d. Therefore, the magnetic pole 24d and the salient pole 8f are opposed to each other, and the platen 8 is moved toward the thrust generating means 2 in the left direction. The magnetic pole 24a and the magnetic pole 24b are mutually attracted to the salient poles 8a and the salient poles 8c in the oblique direction, respectively. Then, in the 16th (c) diagram, the current of the coil 2 7b on the magnetic pole 2", 24d side is stopped, and the coil 27a on the magnetic poles 24a, 24b side is current flowing in the magnetic field of the reinforcing magnetic pole 24b. The magnetic pole 24b and the salient pole 8c are strongly pulled to each other. The magnetic pole 24a is opposite to the non-magnetic body 83 between the salient pole 8a and the salient pole 8b of the platen 8, and thus does not pull with the salient pole 8a. Therefore, the magnetic pole 24b and the salient pole 8c are opposed to each other, and the platen 8 is moved in the same direction with respect to the thrust generating means 2. The magnetic pole 24c and the magnetic pole 24d are salient poles 8e and salient poles 8f and oblique directions, respectively. Then, in the 16th (d) diagram, the current of the line 200839929 circle 27a on the magnetic poles 24a, 24b side is stopped, and the coil 27b on the magnetic poles 24c, 24d side, this time is the magnetic flow of the reinforcing magnetic pole 24c. As a result, the magnetic pole 24c and the salient pole 8e are strongly pulled toward each other. The magnetic pole 24 (1 is opposite to the non-magnetic body 83 between the salient pole 8f and the salient pole 8g of the platen 8, and thus does not The salient poles 8f are pulled toward each other. Therefore, the magnetic poles 24c are opposite to the salient poles 8e, and the platen 8 is for thrust The magnetic means 24a and the magnetic poles 24b are respectively pulled apart from the salient poles 8b and the salient poles 8c in the oblique direction. Further, after moving to the position of the 16th (d) diagram, The current is applied to the coil 27b, and the platen 8, that is, the flat stage 5, is held at the position of the 16th (d). Patent Document 1: Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 9-23689. In the ΧΥ0 moving platform of FIGS. 11 and 12, the substrate (workpiece) placed on the flat plate 6 is increased in size, and if the moving range of the flat plate 6 is increased, only three thrust generating means are disposed. In the case of 2, as shown in Fig. 17, when the flat plate 6 is moved to the end of its moving range, the three thrust generating means 2 are located at the end of the flat plate 6. In this positional relationship, The moving plane plate 6' force point becomes the corner 平面 of the plane plate 6 (the lower left of the plane plate 6 in Fig. 17), and thus the minute movement near the force point of the plane plate 6 'on the opposite side of the diagonal line (in the upper right of the plane plate 6 in Fig. 7), it appears to be a large movement, thus In order to control the minute movement of the flat plate 6, it is difficult to control the small movement of the flat plate 6. Further, -10-200839929, when the flat plate 6 is moved, a large torque is generated, and thus the thrust generating means 2 is required to brake the flat platform 5 to require great force. It is more difficult to control the slight movement of the plane plate 6. It is an object of the present invention to provide a plate for lifting the air to the platform base in view of the above problems, by means of a thrust generating means fixed to the platform base.

According to the invention of the first aspect of the invention, even if the plate is moved to the end of the moving range, the position of the thrust generating means for the operation can be made closer to the center of the plate, and thus the minute movement of the control plate can be easily performed. According to the invention of claim 2, it is possible to easily carry out the loading and unloading of the workpiece processed by the platform apparatus main body -12-200839929, and the thrust generating means of the operation can be performed even if the board moves to the end of the moving range. The position is made closer to the center of the board, and thus it becomes easy to control the minute movement of the board. According to the invention of claim 3, the workpiece loading and unloading unit and the workpiece loading/unloading mechanism are alternately operated in an interactive manner, and the workpiece processing by the platform apparatus main body can be quickly performed. According to the invention of claim 4, regardless of the size of the board, the board can be moved by at least three platform devices by using the platform device located below the board.
