Problems solved by technology

At this time, if a photodetector is arranged at a portion corresponding to the Y region, the visible light radiated from the Y region and converted by the phosphor layer 78 can be detected by the photodetector 77, although the X region is not lit. Therefore, the operator who operates the ultraviolet irradiation device may mistakenly think that the excimer lamp is turned on as usual, and there is a problem that non-lighting in the X area cannot be reliably detected.

Abstract

The invention provides an ultraviolet irradiation device which has an excimer lamp and can surely detect whether the excimer lamp is lit up or not. The ultraviolet irradiation device is provided with a discharge container, an excimer lamp and a power supply device, wherein, at least part of the discharge container is formed by dielectric medium material which can transmit ultraviolet rays and gasfor discharging is filled in the inner discharging space; the excimer lamp is provided with a pair of electrodes which are arranged face to face across the dielectric medium material of the dischargecontainer; the power supply device is connected with the pair of electrodes and used to supply the excimer lamp with power. The ultraviolet irradiation device is characterized in that the power supply device is connected electrically with at least one end of any electrode. The ultraviolet irradiation device is provided with a light guiding part, a light receiving part and a lightingup detecting component, wherein, in an effective lighting area, the light guiding part is configured correspondingly in the area which is more closer to the other end of the electrode than the end connected with the power supply device, so that the light which is emitted by the excimer lamp and entered from one end of the electrode can be emitted from the other end; the light receiving part is used to receive the light emitted from the light guiding part.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ultraviolet irradiation device equipped with an excimer lamp. In particular, it relates to an ultraviolet irradiation device that measures the intensity of radiated light from an excimer lamp, and checks the lighting state of the excimer lamp based on the measurement result. Background technique [0002] In the manufacturing process of liquid crystal substrates, etc., active oxygen generated by ozone decomposition is applied to the substrate being conveyed to treat the object to be processed. This ozone is generated by irradiating oxygen with ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 200 nm or less. For example, a cleaning technology for removing organic matter adhering to the substrate surface has been put into practical use. [0003] As a lamp for such a treatment, a low-pressure mercury lamp emitting vacuum ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 185 nm has been used conventionally. [0004] In recent years, instea...
