Using a contaminated photomask for exposure imaging will cause problems such as pattern failure. It is necessary to monitor and purge the contaminants on the surface of the photomask.

[0054] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following will describe the specific embodiments of the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0055] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , where Figure 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the photomask fixture in the present utility model, Figure 3 shows Figure 2 a top view schematic diagram of

[0056] Base 1;

[0057] A bearing part 2 located on the base 1 and rotationally matched with the base 1 around the first axis L1;

[0059] wherein, the extending directions of the first axis L1 and the second axis L2 are different.

[0060] In the photomask fixture provided by the present utility model, the bearing part 2 is rotationally matched with the base 1 around the first axis L1, the clamping assembly 3 is located on the bearing part 2, and the clamping assembly 3 can rotate relative to the base 1 around the first axis L1; the clamping assembly 3 is rotationally matched with the bearing part 2 around the second axis L2, and the clamping assembly 3 can rotate relative to the bearing part 2 around the second axis L2; the extending directions of the first axis L1 and the second axis L2 are different, and the clamping assembly 3 has two-axis rotational freedom. The above technical solution can increase the total area of the surface of the photomask M clamped by the clamping assembly 3 in any direction exposed during the entire rotation period, thereby reducing the monitoring space required for monitoring.

[0061] In this embodiment, the photomask M has a first surface m1 and a second surface m2 to be monitored, and the first surface m1 and the second surface m2 are oppositely arranged.

[0062] In this embodiment, the bearing part 2 is located on the base 1. The bearing part 2 is rotationally engaged with the base 1 about the first axis L1, which can increase the total exposed area of the surface of the photomask M in other directions except the direction along the first axis L1 during the entire rotation period, thereby reducing the monitoring space required for monitoring.

[0063] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 3 is rotationally engaged with the bearing part 2 about the second axis L2, which can increase the total exposed area of the surface of the photomask M in other directions except the direction along the second axis L2 during the entire rotation period, thereby reducing the monitoring space required for monitoring.

[0064] In this embodiment, the extending directions of the first axis L1 and the second axis L2 are different, which can increase the total exposed area of the surface of the photomask M in any direction during the entire rotation period, thereby further reducing the monitoring space required for monitoring. In other embodiments, the extending directions of the first axis and the second axis may be the same, which will not be elaborated here.

[0065] As an example, the first axis L1 and the second axis L2 may be perpendicular to maximize the total exposed area of the surface of the photomask M clamped by the clamping assembly 3 in a single monitoring direction during the entire rotation period, and further reduce the monitoring space required for monitoring. In other embodiments, the first axis and the second axis may not be perpendicular. For example, the included angle between the first axis and the second axis is 45 degrees.

[0066] In this embodiment, the photomask fixture may further include: a first rotation assembly 4, and the first rotation assembly 4 is used to make the bearing part 2 rotationally engaged with the base 1 about the first axis L1.

[0067] As an example, a bottom rotation hole h1 coaxial with the first axis L1 is formed on the base 1. The first rotation assembly 4 includes: a first driving motor 41 fixed to the base 1, and the first driving motor 41 has a first driving shaft 42 about the first axis L1; and a bottom rotation shaft 43. One end of the bottom rotation shaft 43 is fixed to the bearing part 2, and the other end is connected to the first driving shaft 42 through the bottom rotation hole h1. Driven by the first driving shaft 42, the bottom rotation shaft 43 can drive the bearing part 2 to be rotationally engaged with the base 1 about the first axis L1.

[0068] It can be understood that the above implementation manners are only for illustrative purposes, used to exemplify the possible cooperation manners of the bearing part rotatingly cooperating with the base with the first axis as the axis, and should not be construed as a limitation on the implementation manner of the bearing part rotatingly cooperating with the base with the first axis as the axis in the present invention. Any possible mechanism that enables the bearing part to rotate with the base with the first axis as the axis recognized by those skilled in the art can be applied to the first rotating assembly in the present invention.

[0069] As an example, the first driving motor 41 can be located inside the base 1, which is beneficial to reducing the exposure risk of the first driving motor 41.

[0070] As an example, a bearing (not shown in the figure) is provided between the bottom rotating hole h1 and the bottom rotating shaft 43, which is used to reduce the sliding friction between the bottom rotating hole h1 and the bottom rotating shaft 43, thereby reducing the wear of the base 1 and the bottom rotating shaft 43.

[0071] As an example, the end of the bottom rotating shaft 43 is connected to the end face of the bearing part 2 corresponding to the center of gravity of the bearing part 2, which is beneficial to reducing the offset amount between the center of gravity of the bearing part 2 and the first axis L1 and improving the stability of the photomask M during the rotation process.

[0072] In this embodiment, the photomask fixture may further include: a control device (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to the first driving motor 41, and the control device is used to control the switch and rotation speed of the first driving motor 41, so as to control the rotation speed and rotation angle of the clamping assembly 3 and the photomask M rotating with the first axis L1 as the axis.

[0073] In actual use, the control device can control the rotation speed of the first driving motor 41 according to the observation rate of the monitor, so as to control the rotation speed of the clamping assembly 3 and the photomask M rotating with the first axis L1 as the axis; the control device can also switch the first driving motor 41 at intervals according to the needs of the monitor, so as to control the clamping assembly 3 and the photomask M to stop after rotating a target angle with the first axis L1 as the axis. After the monitor finishes observing, continue to control the clamping assembly 3 and the photomask M to rotate with the first axis L1 as the axis.

[0074] In this embodiment, the bearing part 2 may include: a main body part 21 connected to the first rotating assembly 4; and a side wall connected to the main body part 21, wherein the side wall is connected to one end of the clamping assembly 3 and is rotatably mated with the second axis L2, and the side wall is used to provide support for the clamping assembly 3.

[0075] As an example, the side walls may include a first side wall 22 and a second side wall 23 which are oppositely arranged. Wherein, the first side wall 22 is connected to one end of the clamping assembly 3 and is rotationally fitted with the second axis L2 as the axis, and the second side wall 23 is connected to the other end of the clamping assembly 3 and is rotationally fitted with the second axis L2 as the axis.

[0076] Specifically, the first side wall 22 and the second side wall 23 can respectively provide support for both ends of the clamping assembly 3, which can improve the support strength and stability of the bearing part 2 for the clamping assembly 3.

[0077] In this embodiment, the photomask fixture may further include a second rotation assembly 5 for enabling the clamping assembly 3 to be rotationally fitted with the bearing part 2 with the second axis L2 as the axis.

[0078] As an example, a first side wall rotation hole h2 coaxial with the second axis L2 is formed on the first side wall 22, and a second side wall rotation hole (not shown in the figure) coaxial with the second axis L2 is formed on the second side wall 23. The second rotation assembly 5 includes: a second driving motor 51 fixedly arranged on the first side wall 22, the second driving motor 51 having a second driving shaft 52 with the second axis L2 as the axis; a first side wall rotation shaft 53, one end of the first side wall rotation shaft 53 is fixed to the clamping assembly 3, and the other end passes through the first side wall rotation hole h2 and is connected to the second driving shaft 52; a second side wall rotation shaft, one end of the second side wall rotation shaft is fixed to the clamping assembly 3, and the other end passes through the second side wall rotation hole.

[0079] It can be understood that the above implementation manners are only for illustrative examples, used to illustrate the possible cooperation manners of the clamping assembly rotatingly fitted with the bearing part with the second axis as the axis, and cannot be understood as a limitation on the implementation manner of the clamping assembly rotatingly fitted with the bearing part with the second axis as the axis in the present invention. Any possible mechanism that enables the clamping assembly to be rotationally fitted with the bearing part with the second axis as the axis recognized by those skilled in the art can be applied to the second rotation assembly in the present invention.

[0080] As an example, the second driving motor 51 may be located inside the first side wall 22, which is beneficial to reducing the exposure risk of the second driving motor 51.

[0081] In this embodiment, a bearing is arranged between the first side wall rotation hole h2 and the first side wall rotation shaft 53, which is used to reduce the sliding friction between the first side wall rotation hole h2 and the first side wall rotation shaft 53, thereby reducing the loss between the first side wall 22 and the first side wall rotation shaft 53.

[0082] In this embodiment, a bearing (not shown in the figure) is provided between the second side wall rotation hole and the second side wall rotation shaft to reduce the sliding friction between the second side wall rotation hole and the second side wall rotation shaft, thereby reducing the loss between the second side wall 23 and the second side wall rotation shaft.

[0083] In this embodiment, the control device can be electrically connected to the second driving motor 51. The control device is used to control the switch and rotation speed of the second driving motor 51, so as to control the rotation speed and rotation angle when the clamping assembly 3 and the photomask M rotate about the second axis L2.

[0084] In actual use, the control device can control the rotation speed of the second driving motor 51 according to the observation speed of the monitor, so as to control the rotation speed when the clamping assembly 3 and the photomask M rotate about the second axis L2; the control device can also switch the second driving motor at intervals according to the needs of the monitor, so as to control the clamping assembly 3 and the photomask M to stop after rotating a target angle about the second axis L2. After the monitor finishes observing, continue to control the clamping assembly 3 and the photomask M to rotate about the second axis L2.

[0085] As an example, the first axis L1 can extend in the horizontal direction, and the second axis L2 can extend in the vertical direction.

[0086] In actual use, the control device can control the clamping assembly 3 and the photomask M to rotate about the second axis L2 until the photomask M is horizontal and the first surface m1 of the photomask M faces upward and then stop; after the monitor finishes observing the current position, the control device controls the clamping assembly 3 and the photomask M to rotate a target angle about the first axis L1 and then stop, and repeat this process until the first surface m1 of the photomask M is completely monitored; the control device controls the clamping assembly 3 and the photomask M to rotate about the second axis L2 until the photomask M is horizontal and the second surface m2 of the photomask M faces upward and then stop; after the monitor finishes observing the current position, the control device controls the clamping assembly 3 and the photomask M to rotate a target angle about the first axis L1 and then stop, and repeat this process until the second surface m2 of the photomask M is completely monitored. During the entire monitoring process, the monitor does not need to move around the photomask M to visually inspect different orientations of the first surface m1 and the second surface m2 of the photomask M, which can reduce the monitoring space required for monitoring.

[0087] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 3 may include: a stage 31; a first clamping member 32 located on the stage 31, the first clamping member 32 being rotationally engaged with the first side wall 22 about the second axis L2; a second clamping member 33 located on the stage 31, the second clamping member 33 being rotationally engaged with the second side wall 23 about the second axis L2, the second clamping member 33 and the first clamping member 32 being oppositely arranged along the second axis L2; and the distance between the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 being adjustable.

[0088] In actual use, the photomask M is located between the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 and can be clamped and fixed by the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33; the distance between the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 is adjustable, so that the acting force between the photomask M and the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 can be adjusted, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the photomask M.

[0089] In this embodiment, the stage 31 is used to carry the photomask M, and the first surface m1 or the second surface m2 of the photomask M abuts against the stage 31; the stage 31 has a monitoring hole 31a for monitoring the surface of the photomask M that abuts against the stage 31.

[0090] In this embodiment, at least one of the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 is a hydraulic rod.

[0091] As an example, both the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 are hydraulic rods. The first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 each include a piston rod a and a cylinder body b, and the piston rod a can move relative to the cylinder body b along the second axis L2. Among them: the distance between the piston rod a of the first clamping member 32 and the piston rod a of the second clamping member 33 is adjustable, and the photomask M is clamped by the piston rod a of the first clamping member 32 and the piston rod a of the second clamping member 33; the cylinder body b of the first clamping member 32 is fixedly connected to the stage 31 and the rotating shaft 53 of the first side wall respectively, and the cylinder body b of the second clamping member 33 is fixedly connected to the stage 31 and the rotating shaft 52 of the second side wall respectively, and can rotate about the second axis L2 with the stage 31 and the photomask M and be rotationally engaged with the carrying portion 2.

[0092] In other embodiments, the first clamping member 32 may be a hydraulic rod, and the second clamping member 33 may also be a limiting block. The distance between the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 can be adjusted by the first clamping member 32.

[0093] It can be understood that the above implementation manners are only for illustrative purposes, used to illustrate possible implementation manners of the first clamping member or the second clamping member, and should not be construed as a limitation on the implementation manners of the first clamping member or the second clamping member in the present utility model. Any possible mechanism that can be recognized by those skilled in the art to adjust the distance between the first clamping member and the second clamping member can be applied to the first clamping member and the second clamping member in the present utility model.

[0094] In this embodiment, the control device can also be electrically connected to the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33, and is used to control the distance between the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33.

[0095] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 3 can further include: a pressure sensor located on the opposite end faces of the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33. The control device can also be electrically connected to the pressure sensor, so as to be able to control the distance between the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 according to the pressure sensor.

[0096] As an example, the number of the pressure sensors is two, which are respectively located on the two opposite end faces of the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33.

[0097] In actual use, the photomask M is placed on the stage 31. The control device controls the distance between the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 to decrease. When the pressure transmitted by the pressure sensor is equal to the preset pressure, the control device controls the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 to stop moving. During the entire clamping process, the acting force between the photomask M and the first clamping member 32 and the second clamping member 33 is not greater than the preset pressure, so as to be able to reduce the probability of damage to the photomask M.

[0098] It can be understood that the above implementation manners are only for illustrative purposes, used to illustrate the possible number and installation positions of the pressure sensors, and should not be construed as a limitation on the number and installation positions of the pressure sensors in the present utility model.
