    摘要: A processing facility for manufacturing integrated circuits on semiconductor wafers is provided with at least one radiation generator that generates an EUV (extreme ultraviolet) radiation that is supplied to at least one lithography machine, housed in a factory building, for exposure of the semiconductor wafers. The radiation generator is housed in a building or a building section separate from the factory building. At least one beam guide extends from the building or the building section to the factory building, wherein the EUV radiation is supplied from the building or the building section through the at least one beam guide to the factory building. At least one supply line branches off at an obtuse angle from the at least one beam guide inside the factory building, wherein at least a portion of the EUV radiation is supplied through the at least one supply line to the lithography machine.

    摘要: The instant disclosure provides an operating method of inspecting equipment, with the method applicable to semiconductor inspecting equipment having a movable element. The method includes: displaying a wafer graphic by a touch display; detecting a touch signal generated by the touch display; detecting the magnification of the wafer graphic when the touch signal is generated; and determining the moving speed of the movable element based on the magnification of the wafer graphic when the touch signal is generated. In addition, the moving direction of the movable element can be determined according to the touch signal. Through the instant disclosure, the operator can more intuitively operate each movable element of semiconductor inspecting equipment.

    摘要: An exposure apparatus includes a projection system having a final element that projects exposure light to an upper surface of a substrate through liquid between the final element and the substrate. A liquid confinement member has a recovery outlet, via which the liquid is removed along with gas, arranged such that the upper surface of the substrate faces the recovery outlet, and the recovery outlet surrounds a path of the exposure light. The liquid confinement member confines the liquid to an area smaller than an area of the upper surface of the substrate by removing the liquid via the recovery outlet from a gap between the liquid confinement member and the upper surface of the substrate. A first support member supports the projection system, and a second support member supports the liquid confinement member, wherein the projection system is isolated from vibrations of the liquid confinement member.

    摘要: The invention relates to a projection lens assembly for directing a beam toward a target. This assembly includes a lens support body (52) that spans a plane (P), and has a connection region (58) and a lateral edge (56). The lens support body is arranged for insertion into a frame (42) of a processing unit along an insertion direction (X) parallel with the plane (P). The projection lens assembly includes conduits (60-64) emanating from the connection region, and a conduit guiding body (70-81) for accommodating the conduits. The guiding body includes a first guiding portion (72) for guiding the conduits from the connection region, along the plane to a lateral region (B) beyond the lateral edge. The guiding body also includes a second guiding portion (78) for guiding the conduits from the lateral region (B) toward a tilted edge (79) of the conduit guiding body.
