Abstract

The invention provides a light source device, an illumination device, and an exposure device. The total output of the light is reduced in a light source device taking an LED as a light source. The light source device has an LED array and a cooler, the LED array includes a substrate, a first LED chip disposed on the substrate and a second LED chip higher than the first LED chip, the cooler is configured to cool the LED array using a refrigerant flowing from the refrigerant inlet to the refrigerant outlet, and the first LED chip is disposed on a refrigerant inlet side of the cooler than the second LED chip.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a light source device, an illumination device, and an exposure device. Background technique [0002] The exposure apparatus is used in the manufacturing process of a semiconductor device or a flat panel display (FPD). In the photolithography process, the exposure device transfers the pattern of a photomask or mask as an original plate onto a photosensitive substrate (for example, a wafer or a glass plate on which a resist layer is formed on the surface) via a projection optical system. [0003] As a light source of the exposure apparatus, for example, a mercury lamp is used, but in recent years, it is desired to replace the mercury lamp with an energy-saving light emitting diode (LED: Light Emitting Diode). LEDs have a long lifespan due to the short time from when the current flows to the substrate circuit that controls light emission until the light output stabilizes, and there is no need to always emit light like a m...
