Description

Strengthen the device of photolithographic process capability and the photoetching process of utilizing this device to carry out
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of lithographic equipment and photoetching method, relate in particular to a kind of photoetching process that strengthens the device of photolithographic process capability and utilize this device to carry out.
Background technology
The manufacturing of semiconductor devices need be passed through roads up to a hundred technology, and photoetching process is in critical role as the main technique step of patterning in the manufacture process of semiconductor devices.Fig. 1 is the structural representation of traditional photolithographic exposure system; Fig. 2 is the plan structure synoptic diagram of circular iris among Fig. 1; As shown in the figure, traditional photolithographic exposure system comprises: circular iris 101, collector lens 102 and projecting lens 104, and circular iris 101, collector lens 102 and projecting lens 104 arrange successively from top to bottom; When carrying out photolithographic exposure technology, photomask 103 is positioned between collector lens 102 and the projecting lens 104, silicon substrate 105 is positioned over projecting lens 104 belows, incident ray 100 passes through circular iris 101 and collector lens 102 along axis, figure place on photomask 103 forms diffraction, diffraction light is interfered the formation component graphics through projecting lens 104 backs on silicon substrate 105 surfaces, thereby finishes photolithographic exposure technology.Wherein, the partial coherence factor sigma of circular iris 101 is to describe an important parameter of circular iris size.
Along with the development of semiconductor devices, dimension of picture constantly dwindles, and traditional circular iris lighting system more and more can not satisfy technology requirement.Multiple resolution enhance technology (Resolution Enhancement Techniques is called for short RET) grows up gradually.Off-axis illumination (off-axis illumination) is the technology of wherein comparatively using always.The off-axis illumination aperture has multiple choices, and level Four off-axis illumination aperture and annular off-axis illumination aperture are wherein two kinds.
Level Four off-axis illumination aperture is often used in the resolution that raising is arranged the intensive figure with less spatial separation at certain two specific direction, and Fig. 3 is the structural representation that adopts the photolithographic exposure system of level Four off-axis illumination aperture; Fig. 4 is the plan structure synoptic diagram of level Four off-axis illumination aperture; As shown in the figure, adopt the photolithographic exposure system of level Four off-axis illumination aperture to comprise: level Four off-axis illumination aperture 201, collector lens 202 and projecting lens 204, and level Four off-axis illumination aperture 201, collector lens 202 and projecting lens 204 arrange successively from top to bottom; When carrying out photolithographic exposure technology, photomask 203 is positioned between collector lens 202 and the projecting lens 204, silicon substrate 205 is positioned over projecting lens 204 belows, level Four off-axis illumination aperture 201 and collector lens 202 are passed through with the direction that axis necessarily departs from incident ray 200 edges, figure place on photomask 203 forms diffraction, diffraction light is interfered the formation component graphics through projecting lens 204 backs on silicon substrate 205 surfaces, thereby finishes photolithographic exposure technology.Wherein, the partial coherence factor sigma of level Four off-axis illumination aperture 201 In, σ Out, light hole opening angle α and light hole orientation and relative direction angle β be the important parameter of describing level Four off-axis illumination aperture size, width and direction.This level Four off-axis illumination aperture can only have effectiveness preferably to the figure that some specific direction is arranged, but can't play the effectiveness of photolithographic exposure to the figure that all directions are arranged.
Fig. 5 is the plan structure synoptic diagram of annular off-axis illumination aperture; As shown in the figure, partial coherence factor sigma In, σ OutIt is the important parameter of describing annular off-axis illumination aperture 301 sizes and width, annular off-axis illumination aperture 301 is because the symmetry of its circumference, the figure that all directions are arranged all has certain effectiveness, but for the figure that some specific direction is arranged, its effectiveness is then not as level Four off-axis illumination aperture.
Fig. 6 is that the different spaces spacing of off-axis illumination aperture is to the synoptic diagram that influences of figure live width dimension difference; As shown in the figure, horizontal ordinate represents spatial separation, ordinate represents the difference of live width size, in existing off-axis illumination aperture, when spatial separation was big, the difference of live width size was bigger, thereby can influence the device live width behind photoetching, the etching technics, cause device not meet process requirements, thereby influence the yield of device.In device products, especially in the logic product, there is the figure of various different sizes in a large number, though single off-axis illumination aperture can effectively improve the resolution of small size figure, can not guarantee that the figure of different size has enough resolution.Some figure even can't be rasterized forms and forbids the spatial separation zone.
For the photolithographic process capability of balance different size spatial separation figure, a kind of method is to adopt the method for photolithographic exposure of dual off-axis illumination aperture.(publication number: US20100165317) adopted the hydridization illumination aperture that comprises bipolar illumination aperture and annular illumination aperture, Fig. 7 is the plan structure synoptic diagram that comprises the hydridization illumination aperture of bipolar illumination aperture and annular illumination aperture to United States Patent (USP); As shown in the figure, this hydridization illumination aperture 401 comprises bipolar illumination aperture 402 and annular illumination aperture 403, this method effectively raises a certain specific direction arrangement and has the resolution of the intensive figure of minimum space spacing by the off-axis illumination of two different sizes, reduced the live width size than the fluctuation in the large space pitch area, reduced forming the risk of forbidding the spatial separation zone.
But this hydridization illumination aperture is limited to the resolution effectiveness of the multi-direction spread geometry of balance, and only with the partial coherence factor sigma of two different sizes and two kinds of off-axis illuminations lacking dirigibility aspect the live width size of the various figures of balance and the process window, be difficult to the figure of different size is reached the optimised process balance.In addition, can also adopt the double exposure method of different size off-axis illumination aperture to remedy the problem that exposure is mated in the prior art, but the double exposure method can cause the increase of manufacturing cost, and cause the production quantum of output to descend.
