[Problem] To provide a practical technique that makes it possible to readily measure the flatness of a face such as a virtual face formed by the top ends of a large number of pins. [Solution] A measurement unit 4 in which a level 6 is attached on a measurement plate 5 having flat top and bottom faces and having uniform thickness is mounted on top of three adjacent pins 3 among a large number of pins 3. In this state, the inclinations of the measurement plate 5 with respect to two orthogonal horizontal directions are measured by using the level 6. This step is executed sequentially for individual groups of three pins 3. In the second and subsequent iterations of this step, while again selecting one of the pins 3 that have already been selected, the inclinations of the measurement plate 5 are selected for all the pins 3. From the inclinations of the measurement plate 5, the height difference between a pin 3 having the top end thereof located at the highest position and a pin 3 having the top end thereof located at the lowest position is calculated as the flatness.
[Problem] To enable resolution to be effectively increased beyond a conventional resolution limit such that the pattern of applied light approaches a designed exposure pattern as much as possible.

Provided are an exposure apparatus and an exposure method, which suppress, by means of an aperture shape of a microlens, a side lobe in the periphery of a main beam using aperture arrays, and which perform highly fine exposure. A position of a side lobe (Bb) in the vicinity of a focal point position of a microlens (64a) is moved by providing a light blocking section (66b) on the output side of the microlens (64a).

A correction pattern that corrects the set value and/or the output of the photodetectors such that the actual light output becomes uniform is generated in advance. The set value and/or the output are varied according to the correction pattern for a predetermined period of time from initiation of drive. A single correction pattern is employed in common with respect to the plurality of semiconductor lasers.

Hollow pins are disposed on the table so that the tips of the hollow pins 20 project over the surface of the table by a predetermined distance. The workpiece is sucked onto the table so that indentations (indentations by the tips of the hollow pins) are formed on the back surface of the workpiece. When a pattern is imaged on the back surface, imaging is performed with reference to the indentations.

Then, a transposition processor transposes a matrix of the mirror sequential data into frame sequential data, and supplies the frame sequential data to a DMD controller.

G06F 15/16 - Combinations of two or more digital computers each having at least an arithmetic unit, a program unit and a register, e.g. for a simultaneous processing of several programs
B41J 2/435 - Typewriters or selective printing mechanisms characterised by the printing or marking process for which they are designed characterised by selective application of radiation to a printing material or impression-transfer material
A drawing apparatus which can create an exposure pattern rapidly. The drawing apparatus has a raster conversion processing module for converting vector images as wiring patterns into bitmap image data, an image cache module for temporarily storing a predetermined-size cached image supplied from the raster conversion processing module, a first compression module for compressing the cached image stored in the image cache module, a second compression module for compressing the cached image stored in the image cache module in a compression ratio differing from that of the first compression module, a comparison module for comparing data sizes of compressed data generated by the first and second compression modules and selecting one having a smaller data size, a memory access module for writing the compressed data selected by the comparison module, into a storage module, and a cache region control module for controlling a compression status of the cached image.
An illumination apparatus and an exposure apparatus that achieves higher quality exposure to light and higher operating speed even where the ratio Hx/Hy between the transverse dimension Hx and the longitudinal dimension Hy of the plane of optical modulation of a two-dimensional optical space modulator is 1.5 or above, for instance, are to be provided. The focal distance fx in an x-direction and the focal distance fy in a y-direction of a second optical system that guides light emitted from an integrator to a two-dimensional optical space modulator are made different, in a ratio of fx/fy=1.6, for instance. In this way, the number of rod lenses in the integrator can be made equal between transverse and longitudinal directions and the value of Hx/Hy can be made 2.5 by bringing the aspect ratio dx:dy of rod lenses to 1.6:1, close to 1.
A parallel glass which is a prism having a parallelogram-shaped cross section in an x-y direction, and parallel glasses which are prisms having a parallelogram-shaped cross section in the x-y direction and each include grooves formed in one surface in a z direction perpendicular to the x-y direction, are stacked in direct contact with each other such that the grooves are located on the inside, and light trying to enter the grooves is subjected is total reflection, thereby changing incident parallel beams with a pitch of 13 mm into emergent parallel beams with a pitch of 1 mm.

Exposure apparatus and exposure method, and method of manufacturing electrical wiring board
This invention provides: an exposure apparatus and exposure method based on a maskless exposure technique which uses a two-dimensional optical modulator, in which maskless exposure technique, the exposure apparatus and exposure method employ a first irradiation source optics for drawing a pattern based on exposure pattern data, and a second irradiation source optics for irradiating an energy ray onto a desired area of space on a region inclusive of a region in which the pattern has been drawn; and a method of manufacturing a wiring Substrate (Board); thus, highly accurate pattern forming based on the exposure pattern data is achieved at high throughput and at low costs.

Exposure apparatus and exposing method and method of manufacturing a printed wiring board
The mask-less exposure apparatus includes: a stage which moves with the substrate having a photosensitive resin layer with sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation formed thereon; a first light source for emitting light containing a wavelength component in the wavelength range of 300 to 410 nm; a first light irradiation optical system for modulating a radiant flux emitted from the first light source based on data of a desired exposure pattern to image a pattern on the photosensitive resin layer; a second light source for emitting light containing a wavelength component in the wavelength range of 450 to 2500 nm; and a second light irradiation optical system for guiding a radiant flux emitted from the second light source to a second light irradiation area that is set so as to include at least a first light irradiation area.
