Abstract

See full text

A scanning exposure method moves a mask stage in a scanning direction by a driver having a first portion coupled to the mask stage, which includes a reflective portion positioned along the scanning direction. A counter weight having at least one beam extending along the scanning direction, moves in a direction opposite to the mask stage in response to a reaction force generated by movement of the mask stage by the driver. The at least one beam of the counter weight is coupled to a second portion of the driver. The counter weight is movably supported via a first bearing by a base member. The movement of the counter weight is guided in the scanning direction via a second bearing by a guide mounted on the base member and extending along the scanning direction. A length of the guide is longer than a length of the reflective portion.
