    Abstract: An exposure apparatus is provided for performing a column scan-exposure process. The exposure apparatus includes a base for supporting the exposure apparatus; and a reticle stage configured for holding a reticle having at two mask pattern regions and carrying the reticle to move reciprocally along a scanning direction. The exposure apparatus also includes a wafer stage configured for holding a wafer and carrying the wafer to move reciprocally along the scanning direction. Further, the exposure apparatus includes a control unit configured to control the reticle stage and the wafer stage to cooperatively move to cause the at least two mask pattern regions of the reticle on the reticle stage to be continuously and sequentially projected on at least two corresponding exposure shots of the wafer on the wafer stage along the scanning direction to perform a column scan-exposure process.

    Abstract: A patterning apparatus is provided. The patterning apparatus includes a plurality of liquid jet units arranged in one or more groups and configured to jet an anti-etching liquid onto a surface of a substrate. The patterning apparatus also includes a plurality of exposure units configured to expose light on the anti-etching liquid jetted on the surface of the substrate to heat and cure the jetted anti-etching liquid to form anti-etching patterns on the surface of the substrate. Further, the patterning apparatus includes a control unit configured to control motion status and jetting status of the plurality of liquid jet units and motion status and exposure status of the plurality of exposure units, so as to form the anti-etching patterns at a predetermined line width and thickness.

    Abstract: An exposure apparatus is provided for performing a unidirectional scan-exposure. The exposure apparatus includes a base and a plurality of wafer stages on the base for loading/unloading wafers and successively moving from a first position to a second position of the base cyclically. The exposure apparatus also includes alignment detection units above the first position of the base for detecting alignment marks on the wafer and aligning the wafers and a cylindrical reticle system above the second position of the base. Further, the exposure apparatus includes an optical projection unit between the cylindrical reticle system and the base for projecting light onto the wafers for an exposure. Further, the exposure apparatus also includes an illuminator box and a main control unit.
