Abstract
A driving apparatus for moving an object. The apparatus includes a first actuator which drives the object in X and Y directions, a second actuator which drives a reaction force counter, which receives a reaction force generated when the first actuator drives the object, and a controller which calculates X- and Y-direction reaction forces and a moment reaction force on the basis of X- and Y-direction positions of the object and X- and Y-direction accelerations of the object, which are to be received by the reaction force counter when the object is driven by the first actuator, and controls the second actuator so as to cancel the reaction forces and the moment reaction force.
Claims7
A driving apparatus for moving an object, the apparatus comprising:
- a first actuator which drives the object in X and Y directions;
- a second actuator which drives a plurality of reaction force counters, which receive a reaction force generated when said first actuator drives the object;
- and
- a controller which calculates X- and Y-direction reaction forces and a moment reaction force on the basis of X- and Y-direction positions of the object and X- and Y-direction accelerations of the object, which are to be received by said plurality of reaction force counters when the object is driven by said first actuator, and controls said second actuator so as to cancel said reaction forces and said moment reaction force.
An exposure apparatus comprising a chuck configured to chuck a substrate to be exposed and a driving apparatus configured to drive said chuck, wherein said driving apparatus comprises:
- a first actuator which drives the object in X and Y directions;
- a second actuator which drives a plurality of reaction force counters which receive a reaction force generated when said first actuator drives the object;
- and
- a controller which calculates X- and Y-direction reaction forces and a moment reaction force on the basis of X- and Y-direction positions of the object and X- and Y-direction accelerations of the object, which are to be received by said plurality of reaction force counters when the object is driven by said first actuator, and controls said second actuator so as to cancel said reaction forces and said moment reaction force.
An exposure apparatus comprising a chuck configured to chuck a substrate to be exposed and a driving apparatus configured to drive said chuck, wherein said driving apparatus comprises:
- a first actuator which drives the object in X and Y directions;
- a second actuator which drives a plurality of reaction force counters which receive a reaction force generated when said first actuator drives the object;
- and
- a controller which controls said second actuator on the basis of X- and Y-direction positions of the object and X- and Y-direction accelerations of the object so as to cancel, by said second actuator, the reaction force to be received by said reaction force counters when the object is driven by said first actuator,
- wherein said controller calculates X- and Y-direction reaction forces and a rotation-direction reaction force, which are to be received by said reaction force counters when the object is driven by said first actuator, and generates a profile to drive said plurality of reaction force counters on the basis of the X- and Y-direction reaction forces and the rotation-direction reaction force.
