摘要:
The present invention relates to a projection exposure apparatus (10) for and method of imaging a reticle (R) having patterned surface onto a substrate (W) in photolithographic processes for manufacturing a variety of devices. The invention further relates to an optical system (C) having a folding member(M1) suited to the projection exposure apparatus, and a method for manufacturing the optical system. The projection exposure apparatus comprises an illumination optical system (IS) and a reticle stage (RS) capable of holding the reticle so the normal line to its patterned surface is in the direction of gravity. The apparatus also includes a substrate stage (WS) capable of holding the substrate with its surface normal parallel to the direction of gravity. The optical system includes a first imaging optical system (A) comprising a concave reflecting mirror and a dioptric optical member arranged along a first optical axis. The first imaging optical system (A) forms an intermediate image of the patterned surface. The optical system also includes a second imaging optical system (B) having a second optical axis, and forms a reduced image of the intermediate image on the substrate. The first folding member is arranged in the optical path from the first imaging optical system to the second imaging optical system. The first and second imaging optical systems and the first and second folding members are positioned so that a reduced image of the pattered surface is formed parallel to the pattern surface of the reticle, and the first and second optical axes are positioned so that they are substantially parallel to the direction of gravity.

A catadioptric optical system in which a first imaging optical system is constructed of a unidirectional optical apparatus which transmits outgoing light from a first plane in one direction only and a bidirectional optical apparatus for transmitting the light that enters and reflecting the same to form an interim image of the first plane. A light guide guides the light from the interim image to a second imaging optical system through which the interim image is reimaged on a second plane. The unidirectional optical apparatus has an optical axis and at least one lens movable along the optical axis.

摘要:
The technical problem to be solved is to change the thickness of the colored resin layer of the preform gradually in the upward or downward direction, by utilizing a tendency of gradual decrease in the thickness of the colored resin layer caused by the flow of the main resin inside the preform mold when the main resin and the colored resin are injected into the mold. This involves adjusting the injection pattern including the time of starting and ending the supply of the main resin and the colored resin, and pressure or velocity profiles, reducing the thickness of the colored resin layer gradually upstream or downstream, injection-molding the preform in which a color-gradated portion associated with the thickness of the colored resin layer has been formed, and biaxially drawing and blow molding this preform into a bottle having a color-gradated portion.

A semiconductor includes an N-type impurity region provided in a substrate. A P-type RESURF layer is provided at a top face of the substrate in the N-type impurity region. A P-well has an impurity concentration higher than that of the P-type RESURF layer, and makes contact with the P-type RESURF layer at the top face of the substrate in the N-type impurity region. A first high-voltage-side plate is electrically connected to the N-type impurity region, and a low-voltage-side plate is electrically connected to a P-type impurity region. A lower field plate is capable of generating a lower capacitive coupling with the substrate. An upper field plate is located at a position farther from the substrate than the lower field plate, and is capable of generating an upper capacitive coupling with the lower field plate whose capacitance is greater than the capacitance of the lower capacitive coupling.
