In addition, as shown in Fig. 2 the third layer in layer stereo structure 100 forms the first recess 111 and the second recess 112, The 3rd recess 113 is not formed.In other words, in the Zone Full of third layer formed with the first recess 111 and the second recess 112 Region is the non-domain of the existence of layer stereo structure 100, and remaining area is layer stereo structure 100 in the Zone Full of third layer Domain of the existence.Therefore, in pattern 13 is split, the above-mentioned non-domain of the existence in the Zone Full of third layer is set as non-exposure Light region 91, the above-mentioned domain of the existence in the Zone Full of third layer is set as exposure area 90.
In addition, as shown in Fig. 2 the 4th layer in layer stereo structure 100 forms the recess 113 of the first recess the 111~the 3rd. In other words, the region formed with the recess 113 of the first recess the 111~the 3rd in the 4th layer of Zone Full is layer stereo structure 100 non-domain of the existence, remaining area is the domain of the existence of layer stereo structure 100 in the 4th layer of Zone Full.Therefore, exist Split in pattern 14, the above-mentioned non-domain of the existence in the 4th layer of Zone Full is set as non-exposed areas 91, by the 4th layer Zone Full in above-mentioned domain of the existence be set as exposure area 90.Fig. 8 be from coming from Fig. 2 Section A-A this at first The figure of the segmentation pattern 11~14 at the time point after reason.
In data generation process, next, carrying out second processing.Specifically, each exposure area after the first processing The region for being set to exposure area 90 on its upper strata (layer of+Z sides) in 90 is changed to non-exposed areas 91.Fig. 9~Figure 12 It is that 4 figures for splitting pattern 21~24 after second processing are represented according to the order of first layer~four layer.Below, in each segmentation In pattern, the region that convex surface 110a is included in+Z sides is referred to as convex region 90a, the region that concave surface 110b is included in+Z sides is claimed For concave region 90b.
By the second processing carried out to first layer, split in the exposure area 90 of pattern 11 and splitting pattern 12~14 Also the region for setting exposure area 90 is changed to non-exposed areas 91, and segmentation pattern 11 is changed to split pattern 21.According to Fig. 2 and Fig. 9 understands that the exposure area 90 split in pattern 21 is concave region 90b, and concave region 90b includes the in+Z sides The concave surface 110b of one recess 111.
In addition, by the second processing carried out to the second layer, split in the exposure area 90 of pattern 12 and splitting pattern 13rd, 14 regions for also setting exposure area 90 are changed to non-exposed areas 91, and segmentation pattern 12 is changed to split pattern 22. It can be seen from Fig. 2 and Figure 10, it is concave region 90b to split the exposure area 90 in pattern 22, and concave region 90b wraps in+Z sides Include the concave surface 110b of the second recess 112.
In addition, by the second processing carried out to third layer, split in the exposure area 90 of pattern 13 and splitting pattern 14 regions for also setting exposure area 90 are changed to non-exposed areas 91, and segmentation pattern 13 is changed to split pattern 23.Root Understood according to Fig. 2 and Figure 11, the exposure area 90 split in pattern 23 is concave region 90b, and concave region 90b includes in+Z sides The concave surface 110b's of 3rd recess 113.
Further, since in layer stereo structure 100 the 4th layer be the superiors, therefore, though to the 4th layer carry out second Processing, it will not also change exposure area 90 and non-exposed areas 91.Therefore, segmentation pattern 24 is same with segmentation pattern 14 Pattern.It can be seen from Fig. 2 and Figure 12, the exposure area 90 split in pattern 24 is convex region 90a, convex region 90a+ Z sides include convex surface 110a.
As described above, in the segmentation pattern 21~24 after second processing, by convex region 90a and concave regions Domain 90b is set as exposure area 90.Figure 13 is the segmentation figure at the time point after above-mentioned second processing from Fig. 2 Section A-A The figure of case 21~24.
In data generation process, next, carrying out the 3rd processing.Specifically, each non-exposed area after second processing Region in domain 91 around concave region 90b is changed to exposure area 90.Figure 14~Figure 17 be according to first layer~ 4th layer of order represents the figure of 4 segmentation patterns 31~34 after the 3rd processing.Below, by each segmentation pattern middle position in concave surface Region around 110b is referred to as concave surface peripheral region 90c.
By the 3rd processing carried out to first layer, split in the non-exposed areas 91 of pattern 21 and be located at concave region 90b Around concave surface peripheral region 90c be changed to exposure area 90, segmentation pattern 21 is changed to split pattern 31.According to figure 14 understand that peripheral region 90c in concave surface is the rectangular ring region using Y-direction as long side.
In addition, by the 3rd processing carried out to the second layer, split in the non-exposed areas 91 of pattern 22 and be located at concave regions Concave surface peripheral region 90c around the 90b of domain is changed to exposure area 90, and segmentation pattern 22 is changed to split pattern 32. It can be seen from Figure 15, peripheral region 90c in concave surface is the L word annular sections using Y-direction as long side.
In addition, by the 3rd processing carried out to third layer, split in the non-exposed areas 91 of pattern 23 and be located at concave regions Concave surface peripheral region 90c around the 90b of domain is changed to exposure area 90, and segmentation pattern 23 is changed to split pattern 33. It can be seen from Figure 16, peripheral region 90c in concave surface is circular region.
Further, since the 4th layer of segmentation pattern 24 does not have concave region 90b, therefore, even if carrying out the to the 4th layer Three processing, it will not also change exposure area 90 and non-exposed areas 91.Therefore, segmentation pattern 34 is with splitting pattern 14,24 Same pattern.
As described above, in the segmentation pattern 31~34 after the 3rd processing, by convex region 90a, concave regions Domain 90b and concave surface peripheral region 90c are set as exposure area 90.Figure 18 is at Fig. 2 Section A-A view the above-mentioned 3rd The figure of the segmentation pattern 31~34 at the time point after reason.
So, the data of the 4 segmentation patterns 31~34 generated in first the~the three processing of processing turn into multilayer Stereochemical structure 100 be supplied to during manufacture processing 4 exposure datas of exposure device.
In the present embodiment, the registration accuracy of exposure device is known a priori by the 3rd before processing of progress, around concave surface Region 90c width W40 is set as 2 times of the length of registration accuracy.Herein, registration accuracy refers to be exposed resist layer When exposure position from benchmark exposure position offset when skew higher limit, be and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2009-224523 publications In overlapping accuracy, the registration accuracy identical concept in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2014-103343 publications.So, in aftermentioned < The effect of width W40 in position skew > in 1.4 exposure process to setting concave surface peripheral region 90c is described in detail.
The manufacture processing > of the layer stereo structures 100 of < 1.3
The manufacture system for manufacturing layer stereo structure 100 is following system:Shape to repeating resist layer in each layer Into and to the resist layer exposure and the resist layer stack that generates develop, there is male and fomale(M&F) in+Z sides to manufacture 110 layer stereo structure 100.
The manufacture system has:Exposure data generating means 7;Apparatus for coating, its painting erosion resistant agent and form resist layer; Heater, it is heated to resist layer;Exposure device, it exposes resist layer;Developing apparatus, it is removed by developer solution Remove resist of the exposure device without the position of exposure;And surface processing device, carry out Surface Machining.Manufacture system, both may be used , can also be by configuring above-mentioned each device with straight column mode come structure to be formed by configuring above-mentioned each device in a manner of group Into.
Figure 19~Figure 24 is the figure from the manufacturing process of Fig. 2 Section A-A view layer stereo structure 100.Below, Illustrate from Fig. 2 Section A-A view when layer stereo structure 100 manufacture processing.
In manufacture processing, first, negative resist is coated on the interarea of the side (+Z sides) of base material 50 by apparatus for coating, (the step S3 of resist layer 51 of first layer is formed on base material 50:Painting process).It should be noted that the resist is to exposing The exposure light used in electro-optical device has permeability.
Next, heater heats to resist layer 51, the solvent in resist layer 51 is set to evaporate (step S4: Prebake process).
Next, exposure device is based on first layer in 4 exposure datas that processing generation is generated by above-mentioned exposure data Exposure data, (step S5 is exposed to resist layer 51:Exposure process).Equivalent to segmentation pattern 31 in resist layer 51 The position of exposure area 90 be exposed, turn into the insoluble region 92 of development.In addition, equivalent to segmentation pattern 31 in resist layer 51 The position of non-exposed areas 91 be not exposed, the state in the solvable region 93 that keeps developing.Exposure device is for example by directly retouching Device composition is painted, the direct drawing apparatus is used up come continuous by using up one side irradiation exposure to resist layer one side scan exposure Ground carries out partial exposure.In this case, perform in step s 5 and directly describe process, it is not necessary to prepare and each exposure data Corresponding mask, therefore preferably.
Next, heater heats to resist layer 51, the solvent of resist layer 51 is set to evaporate (step S6:Afterwards Bakee process).Figure 19 is the figure of the manufacturing process for the layer stereo structure 100 for representing the time point.
When performing step S3~S6 to resist layer 51, to judging with the presence or absence of not formed resist layer (step S7).Herein, due to as not formed resist layer, resist layer 52~54 be present, therefore in step S7 branches For "Yes".
Next, step S3~S6 is performed to the resist layer 52 of the second layer on base material 50.As a result, resist layer Position in 52 equivalent to the exposure area 90 of segmentation pattern 32 is exposed, and turns into the insoluble region 92 of development.As described above, this reality Apply the resist used in mode has permeability to exposure light.Therefore, for the against corrosion of the lower floor as resist layer 52 For oxidant layer 51, the position equivalent to the exposure area 90 of segmentation pattern 32 is exposed, and turns into the insoluble region 92 of development.In addition, Position in resist layer 52 equivalent to the non-exposed areas 91 of segmentation pattern 32 is not exposed, and keeps solvable region 93 of developing State.Then, resist layer 52 is heated, evaporates the solvent in resist layer 52.Figure 20 is to represent the time point Layer stereo structure 100 manufacturing process figure.
When performing step S3~S6 to resist layer 52, to judging with the presence or absence of not formed resist layer (step S7).Herein, due to as not formed resist layer, resist layer 53,54 be present, therefore branch into step S7 "Yes".
Resist layer 53 and the 4th layer of resist layer 54 to the third layer on base material 50 similarly perform step S3 ~S6.Figure 21 is the manufacturing process for representing to perform resist layer 53 the layer stereo structure 100 at step S3~S6 time point Figure.Figure 22 is the manufacturing process for representing to perform resist layer 54 the layer stereo structure 100 at step S3~S6 time point Figure.
So, according to the order from-Z sides to+Z sides, step S3~S6 is performed to each layer, so as to generate resist layer Stack 57.Then, to being judged (step S7) with the presence or absence of not formed resist layer.Herein, due to whole it is against corrosion Oxidant layer 51~54 has been formed, therefore branches into "No" in step S7.
Developing apparatus is the resist that solvable region 93 of developing in resist layer stack 57 is removed by developer solution, is obtained more Layer stereochemical structure 100 (step S8:Developing procedure).Layer stereo structure 100 is obtained at the time point, in being handled in manufacture Continue step S9, S10, so as to improve the intensity of layer stereo structure 100.
Next, heater heats to layer stereo structure 100, make solvent in layer stereo structure 100, attached The developer solution in layer stereo structure 100 evaporates (step S9:It is hard to bakee process).Figure 23 is the multiple-layer stand for representing the time point The figure of the manufacturing process of body structure 100.It should be noted that in fig. 2, in order to prevent diagram from becoming complicated, depict progress (that is, the layer stereo knot corresponding with Figure 23 of layer stereo structure 100 at the time point before the Surface Machining process of next step Structure 100).
Next, surface processing device is processed to the surface of+Z sides of layer stereo structure 100, covered with diaphragm 55 Cover the surface (step S10:Surface Machining process).As diaphragm 55, the film such as plated film or diamond-film-like is formed.Figure 24 be the figure by the layer stereo structure 100 of step S1~S10 manufactures.
As described above, in the manufacture method of present embodiment, to repeating resist layer in each layer The resist layer stack 57 for being formed and carrying out the exposure of selectivity to the resist layer and generating is developed, to manufacture multilayer Stereochemical structure 100.Therefore, it is possible to according to each exposing patterns to each resist layer, adjust each recess in male and fomale(M&F) 110 respectively Depth.
Layer stereo structure 100 is used as the intaglio plate in such as printing treatment.Layer stereo structure 100 is being used as intaglio plate In the case of, the relatively wide recess of width forms relatively shallow in preferably multiple recesses, and width is relatively narrow in the multiple recess Recess formed relatively deep.Thus, when being filled into the ink of each recess and being transferred in transfer roll etc., can suppress in each recess Ink transfer ratio deviation.Herein, short side in the top view when width of recess refers to the above-mentioned recess from upper surface To width.As shown in Fig. 2 in the layer stereo structure 100 of present embodiment, relatively wide width W30 the 3rd recess 113 form relatively shallow, and intermediate width W20 the second recess 112 is intermediate depth, relatively narrow width W10 the first recess 111 form relatively deep.Therefore, from the above point of view, it is suppressed that deviation during transfer, so as to preferably.
In addition, as the layer stereo structure 100 of present embodiment, if the entire surface of the resist layer 51 of first layer For insoluble region 92 of developing, then the adaptation raising between base material 50 and resist layer 51~54, so as to preferably.
In addition, as in the present embodiment, the composition identical mode for the resist that apparatus for coating is coated with layers In, the different mode of the composition of resist in layers from the technology recorded such as Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2012-208350 publications Compare, the manufacture processing of layer stereo structure 100 becomes easy, can also suppress manufacturing cost.
In addition, as in the present embodiment, exposure device irradiates the side of the exposure light of Same Wavelength to resist layer In formula, with the technology recorded such as Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2012-208350 publications each resist layer is irradiated according to resist Composition is different and the mode of exposure light that wavelength is different is compared, and the manufacture processing of layer stereo structure 100 becomes easy, also can Suppress manufacturing cost.
Position skew > in the exposure process of < 1.4
In the manufacture processing > of the above-mentioned layer stereo structures 100 of < 1.3, illustrate to offset without position in resist layer Preferable exposure position (benchmark exposure position) be exposed the situation of process.However, in the case where performing exposure process, In XY faces, exposure position is generally offset in the range of registration accuracy.
It is assumed below that the situation of position skew is produced in exposure process, at the manufacture for illustrating present embodiment and comparative example The difference of reason.Here, it is assumed that situations below:In the resist layer 51 of benchmark exposure position exposure first layer, exposed from benchmark Position offset by registration accuracy to -X direction in the case of expose the second layer resist layer 52, from benchmark exposure position to+ X-direction exposes the resist layer 53 of third layer in the case of offset by registration accuracy, inclined from benchmark exposure position to -X direction The 4th layer of resist layer 54 is exposed in the case of having moved registration accuracy.
Based on above-mentioned it is assumed that explanation is handled to manufacture layer stereo structure 100A situation by the manufacture of comparative example. In the comparative example, using the data of the segmentation pattern 11~14 shown in Fig. 8 as exposure data, exposure process is performed.Figure 25~figure 29 be the figure from Fig. 2 Section A-A view layer stereo structure 100A manufacturing process.
First, step S3~S6 is performed to the resist layer 51A of the first layer on base material 50.As a result, resist layer Position in 51A equivalent to the exposure area 90 of segmentation pattern 11 is exposed, and turns into the insoluble region 92 of development.Then, to against corrosion Oxidant layer 51A is heated, and evaporates the solvent in resist layer 51A.Figure 25 is the layer stereo structure for representing the time point The figure of 100A manufacturing process.
When performing step S3~S6 to resist layer 51A, to judging with the presence or absence of not formed resist layer (step S7).Herein, due to as not formed resist layer, resist layer 52A~54A be present, therefore divide in step S7 Branch is "Yes".
Step S3~S6 is similarly performed to resist layer 52A~54A of the second layer on base material 50~four layer.Need It is noted that in each step S5, as described above, offset by the feelings of registration accuracy from benchmark exposure position to ± X-direction Exposure process is performed under condition.Figure 26 is the layer stereo structure for representing to perform resist layer 52A step S3~S6 time point The figure of 100 manufacturing process.Figure 27 is the layer stereo structure for representing to perform resist layer 53A step S3~S6 time point The figure of 100 manufacturing process.Figure 28 is the layer stereo structure for representing to perform resist layer 54A step S3~S6 time point The figure of 100 manufacturing process.
So, step S3~S6 is performed to each layer according to the order from-Z sides to+Z sides, so as to generate resist stacking Body 57A (Figure 28).Then, to being judged (step S7) with the presence or absence of not formed resist layer.Herein, due to whole Resist layer 51A~54A has been formed, therefore branches into "No" in step S7.
Developing apparatus removes the resist in solvable region 93 of developing in resist layer stack 57A by developer solution, obtains more Layer stereochemical structure 100A (step S8:Developing procedure).Next, heater heats to layer stereo structure 100A, make Solvent in layer stereo structure 100, developer solution evaporation (the step S9 for being attached to layer stereo structure 100A:It is hard to bakee work Sequence).Figure 29 is the figure of the manufacturing process for the layer stereo structure 100A for representing the time point.
The layer stereo structure 100A so manufactured is in male and fomale(M&F) 110A by the recess 113A structures of the first recess 111A~the 3rd Into.However, male and fomale(M&F) 110A shape with perform without position skew preferable exposure process when layer stereo structure 100 in Male and fomale(M&F) 110 shape it is different.Because the position skew of exposure position causes the development in resist layer stack 57A The shape in solvable region 93 and the shape of male and fomale(M&F) 110 be not corresponding.So, in the manufacture method of comparative example, in exposure position In the case of putting generation skew, it is impossible to layer stereo structure of the manufacture with desired male and fomale(M&F) 110.
Next, based on above-mentioned it is assumed that explanation is handled to manufacture layer stereo structure by the manufacture of present embodiment 100B situation.Below, using the data of the segmentation pattern 31~34 shown in Figure 18 as exposure data, exposure process is performed.Figure 30~Figure 35 is the figure from Fig. 2 Section A-A view layer stereo structure 100B manufacturing process.
First, step S3~S6 is performed to the resist layer 51B of the first layer on base material 50.As a result, resist layer Position in 51B equivalent to the exposure area 90 of segmentation pattern 31 is exposed, and turns into the insoluble region 92 of development.In addition, resist Position in layer 51B equivalent to the non-exposed areas 91 of segmentation pattern 31 is not exposed, and keeps the shape in the solvable region 93 of development State.Then, resist layer 51B is heated, evaporates the solvent in resist layer 51B.Figure 30 represents the time point The figure of layer stereo structure 100B manufacturing process.
After performing step S3~S6 to resist layer 51B, to being judged (step with the presence or absence of not formed resist layer Rapid S7).Herein, due to as not formed resist layer, resist layer 52B~54B be present, therefore branch into step S7 "Yes".
Step S3~S6 is similarly performed to resist layer 52B~54B of the second layer on base material 50~four layer.Need It is noted that in each step S5, as described above, offset by the feelings of registration accuracy from benchmark exposure position to ± X-direction Under condition, exposure process is performed.Figure 31 is the layer stereo structure for representing to perform resist layer 52B step S3~S6 time point The figure of 100B manufacturing process.Figure 32 represents to perform resist layer 53B the layer stereo structure at step S3~S6 time point The figure of 100B manufacturing process.Figure 33 is the layer stereo knot for representing to perform resist layer 54B step S3~S6 time point The figure of structure 100B manufacturing process.
So, step S3~S6 is performed to each layer according to the order from-Z sides to+Z sides, so as to generate resist stacking Body 57B (Figure 33).Then, to being judged (step S7) with the presence or absence of not formed resist layer.Herein, due to whole Resist layer 51B~54B has been formed, therefore branches into "No" in step S7.
Developing apparatus removes the resist in solvable region 93 of developing in resist layer stack 57B by developer solution, obtains more Layer stereochemical structure 100B (step S8:Developing procedure).Next, heater heats to layer stereo structure 100B, make Solvent in layer stereo structure 100B, developer solution evaporation (the step S9 for being attached to layer stereo structure 100B:It is hard to bakee work Sequence).Figure 34 is the figure of the manufacturing process for the layer stereo structure 100B for representing the time point.
However the layer stereo structure 100B manufactured male and fomale(M&F) 110B position, with the 4th as the superiors Position skew occurs for the exposure position of layer, and is offset from preferable position (position of male and fomale(M&F) 110).But according to Figure 23 and figure 34 understand that layer stereo structure 100B male and fomale(M&F) 110B shape is consistent with the shape of preferable male and fomale(M&F) 110.
In the present embodiment, because the exposure area 90 of exposure data is not included except convex region 90a, concave region Other regions beyond 90b and concave surface peripheral region 90c, therefore to two layers of resist in the case of certain two layers skew When layer is exposed, it can also suppress to produce unexpected step difference.For example, in a comparative example, because exposure area 90 includes Above-mentioned other regions, therefore offset in the 4th layer of resist layer 54A relative to the resist layer 53A of third layer to -X direction In the case of when being exposed, the second recess 112A generates unexpected step difference (Figure 27~Figure 29).However, in this embodiment party In formula, because exposure area 90 is only made up of convex region 90a, concave region 90b and concave surface peripheral region 90c, therefore suppress The quantity of exposure area.It thereby inhibiting in the insoluble region 92 of the development area insoluble with the development formed on upper strata that lower floor is formed Unexpected step difference is produced between domain 92.Particularly, as in the present embodiment, if concave surface peripheral region 90c width Degree W40 is 2 times of length of registration accuracy, then in the case of offseting maximum limit in the opposite direction even in certain two layers to this two (that is, two layers is exposed in the case of opposite direction skew registration accuracy when layer resist layer is exposed When), it can also prevent the alteration of form of each recess.Therefore, in the manufacture method of present embodiment, it is suppressed that because of exposure position The change in shape of male and fomale(M&F) 110 caused by the skew of position.
Finally, surface processing device is processed to the surface of layer stereo structure 100B+Z sides, is covered with diaphragm 55B Cover the surface (step S10:Surface Machining process).As diaphragm 55B, the film such as plated film or diamond-film-like is formed. Figure 35 is the figure for representing the layer stereo structure 100B by step S1~S10 manufactures.
The variation > of < 2
It is explained above embodiments of the present invention, the present invention can carry out removing above-mentioned in the range of its purport is not departed from Various changes beyond situation.
In the above-described embodiment, in order to be readily appreciated that, illustrate to be simple to manufacture (the figure of layer stereo structure 100 of shape 2) mode, but variously-shaped layer stereo structure can be manufactured by the present invention.In addition, in the above-described embodiment, say The thickness degree for understanding each resist layer is fixed situation, but the thickness degree of each resist layer can not also be fixed.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the width W40 for illustrating concave surface peripheral region 90c is 2 times of registration accuracy Situation, but it is not limited to this.But as described above, if it is considered that skew is gone forward side by side round about this two layers of upper strata and lower floor During the situation of row exposure, then the width of preferred concave surface peripheral region is more than 2 times of registration accuracy.In addition, as noted previously, as Exposure area is set to the wide layer stereo structure that can cause manufacture and produces unexpected step difference, it is therefore preferable that concave surface The width of peripheral region is less than 3 times of registration accuracy.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, what the layer stereo structure 100 for illustrating to manufacture was made up of 4 layers of resist layer Situation, but it is not limited to this.The layer stereo structure 100 of manufacture can be both made up of the resist layer below 3 layers, can also It is made up of more than 5 layers of resist layer.But if it can also be obtained from the case of the skew of each resist layer exposure position To from the viewpoint of the layer stereo structure with desired male and fomale(M&F), more than the number of plies such as situation more than 4 layers in the case of, The present invention is especially effective.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, illustrate to generate multiple impressions by carrying out the first processing to the 3rd processing According to mode, but be not limited to this.The mode of multiple exposure datas is generated even by other processing sequences, as long as upper The exposure area set in exposure data is stated to be made up of convex region, concave region and concave surface peripheral region, with regard to can obtain with it is upper State the same effect of embodiment.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, illustrate to carry out afterwards being exposed process (step S5) to each resist layer The mode of process (step S6) is bakeed afterwards.Generally, in rear baking process (step S6), have and promote heated resist layer Cross-linking reaction, and improve the effect of the adaptation of the resist layer and its upper and lower.However, the material according to resist layer The condition of matter, the thickness of the resist layer formed etc., bakeing process (step S6) even if after not implementing sometimes also can be abundant Ground ensures the adaptation between each layer.Therefore, in this case, process (step S6) is bakeed after can also omitting.
It this concludes the description of exposure data generation method, manufacture method, the exposure data generation of embodiment and its variation Device, exposure data generation program and manufacture system, but these are the examples of preferred embodiment in the present invention, and it is unlimited Determine the scope that the present invention is implemented.The present invention can freely combine to the progress of each embodiment in the range of foregoing invention, be right The arbitrary structures component of each embodiment is deformed or omitted in each embodiment arbitrary structural elements.
