放射線源2の系自体における課題が多数残されている。X-ray exposure technology using a synchrotron radiation light source is far from being researched and developed for practical use, and there are many problems that need to be solved. In particular, many problems remain in the system itself of the synchrotron radiation source 2, which includes the electron storage ring 1, the beam line 4, and the like.

一様な強度分布の放射光が照射される必要がある。From the viewpoint of phosphorography, the most important issue is the stability and uniformity of the synchrotron radiation intensity. The primary concern is the stability of the motion of the high-speed electron beam flux circulating within the electron storage ring 1, particularly the stability of the trajectory of the motion. Next, when the synchrotron radiation 3 extracted as synchrotron radiation passes through the beam line 4, the stability of the trajectory of the synchrotron radiation 3 within the beam line 4, that is, the stability of the area irradiated with stable intensity. There are concerns. In particular, it is necessary that the area of the radiation extraction window 5 at the end of the beam line 4 is always irradiated with radiation with a uniform intensity distribution.

Our goal is to provide the following.

けである。As shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), synchrotron radiation light 3 emitted from synchrotron radiation light source 2 is transmitted to beam line 4.
The point that the emitted light is guided through the inside to the area of the radiation extraction window is the same as in the conventional case. In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, an optical system 7.8 including an analyzer is installed inside the beam line 4. It is well known that synchrotron radiation light has a high degree of polarization. FIG. 2 shows the angular distribution of the polarization component parallel to the orbital plane and the perpendicular polarization component of the electric field vector of the synchrotron radiation. Here, the orbital plane refers to the electron storage ring 1
It means the plane direction in which the is installed (perpendicular to the vertical direction shown in FIG. 3(b)). As can be seen from the figure, the parallel component has a sharp peak on the orbital plane (angle 0), and the perpendicular component has zero on the orbital plane and small peaks at the corners above and below it. If we look only at the emitted light parallel to the orbital plane, it is completely linearly polarized light, but in the up and down directions tilted from the orbital plane, it is elliptically polarized light whose rotation direction is up and down and in the opposite direction. In terms of the total amount of synchrotron radiation, the overwhelming majority is light with an electric field vector parallel to the orbital plane. As explained above, a major feature of synchrotron radiation light is that it has a high degree of polarization, and the principle point of the present invention is to effectively utilize this polarization. Returning to FIG. 1, the optical systems 7 and 8 including analyzers are equipped with analyzers that pass only electric field vectors in a certain direction, in this case vectors parallel to the orbital plane.

仕様の許容度は大きい。9.10 indicates an electric field vector parallel to the orbital plane, but only this parallel electric field vector is detected in the optical systems 7 and 8 including the analyzer. The optical system 7 including an analyzer is
Above the inside of the beam line in the vertical direction, and the optical system 6
is installed vertically below the inside of the beamline. Optical systems 7 and 8 including analyzers control the passage area of the emitted light 3 in the vertical direction. That is,
If the emitted light flux is directed upward in the vertical direction, the detection output of the optical system 8 becomes weak, and if the emitted light flux is directed downward in the vertical direction, the detection output of the optical system 7 becomes weak. By such a method, it is possible to make the area where the radiation light is irradiated onto the radiation extraction window uniform and stable. Furthermore, since the detection is of an electric field vector parallel to the orbital plane, there is a large degree of tolerance in the specifications for the analyzer installed in the optical system.

から、前に検光子からなる光学系設置に対する要求度は
少いかもしれない。In FIG. 1, the optical system including the analyzer is shown only at the upper and lower positions in the vertical direction, but it is of course also effective to install it in the direction parallel to the orbital surface using the same concept as above. However, according to the radiation principle of synchrotron synchrotron radiation, it should be possible to obtain synchrotron radiation with a uniform intensity distribution in the direction parallel to the orbital plane, so there may be little requirement to install an optical system consisting of an analyzer in front. unknown.

Note that the installation position of the optical system including an analyzer capable of detecting polarized light components in a specific direction is not particularly limited as long as it is in front of the X-ray mask and inside the beam line.
