Problems solved by technology

[0011] However, as described above, regarding the half-exposure process using the resist pattern R formed with the thick film R1 and the thin film R2, when the resist pattern R is formed, its film thickness is not uniform within the substrate surface. , there is a problem that the line width of the formed pattern and the spacing between the patterns deviate

Abstract

A local site exposure apparatus can easily adjust the amount of light exposure every area set finer within a substrate plane, enhance the uniformity of a residual resist film subsequent to development, and suppress variations in line width of each wiring pattern and pitch therebetween.The local site exposure apparatus has a light source having a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged above a substrate conveyance path in a direction interesting a substrate conveyance direction, a light-emission drive unit for selectively driving for light emission the light-emitting elements of the light source, with one or plural light-emitting elements as a unit of light-emission control, and illumination detecting means retractably provided in a widthwise direction of the substrate along a position at which to apply light from the light source to the substrate in a state in which the substrate is not conveyed below the light source, the illumination detecting means for detecting illumination of the light emitted from the light source, and a control part storing the relationship between the illumination detected by the illumination detecting means and a value of a drive current of each light-emitting element as a correlation table and controlling the drive of the light-emission drive unit to the light-emitting elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is a partial exposure device for performing partial exposure treatment on a substrate to be processed on which a photosensitive film has been formed. Background technique [0002] For example, in the manufacturing process of an FPD (Flat Panel Display), a circuit pattern is formed by a so-called photolithography process. [0003] In this photolithography process, as also described in Patent Document 1, after forming a predetermined film on a substrate to be processed such as a glass substrate, a photoresist (hereinafter referred to as resist) is applied, and by applying The pre-drying treatment (drying under reduced pressure and pre-baking treatment) in which the solvent in the resist evaporates forms a resist film (photosensitive film). Then, the resist film is exposed to light corresponding to the circuit pattern, and the resist film is developed to form a pattern. [0004] In addition, regarding this photolithography process,...
