Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, the alignment of the entire substrate is performed first, alignment is performed on any divided area in an appropriate order, and exposure is performed from the area where the alignment has been completed. Therefore, after dividing into four areas, In the case of , the calibration of the entire substrate requires five calibration steps, and even in the case of dividing into two areas, it is necessary to perform three calibration steps, which is time-consuming
[0010] Moreover, since the entire substrate is calibrated first by using the mask and the marks on the substrate, the error becomes larger after the calibration is performed on each area.
[0011] Since the technology described in Patent Document 2 is a method of measuring the center of gravity position of each pattern to be exposed and the center of gravity position of the whole, based on the measured data, correcting the reference position information of each of the plurality of regions, and based on the corrected data, , to expose each pattern, therefore, the exposure of each pattern takes time, and it is difficult to apply it to a device such as an exposure device for a printed circuit board that directly exposes the pattern of the mask by making the mask and the substrate close middle

Abstract

An exposure apparatus is used for calibrating a substrate and a photomask and carrying out exposure in a state of sealing the photomask in the substrate, wherein the substrate includes a plurality of calibration marks for location; and the photomask includes a plurality of photomask marks for aligning to the calibration marks and is provided with a prescribed pattern. The exposure device comprises a unit for calculating distribution point MB obtained by crossing diagonals of the entire region of the photomask on the basis of the plurality of photomask marks; a unit for calculating distribution point WB obtained by crossing diagonals of the entire region of the substrate on the basis of the calibration marks; a first comparison unit for comparing the distribution point MB of the photomask marks with the distribution point WB of the calibration marks; and a first determination unit determining whether the distribution point WB of the calibration marks lie in an allowable range with respect to the distribution point MB of the photomask marks according to the comparison result of the first comparison result, wherein an exposure beam is irradiated on the entire substrate when the first determination unit determines that the distribution points WB lie in the allowable range.
