Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of lithographic equipment and photoetching method, particularly relate to a kind of device strengthening photolithographic process capability and the photoetching process utilizing this device to carry out.
Background technology
The manufacture of semiconductor devices needs through roads up to a hundred technique, and photoetching process, as the main technological steps of patterning, is in very important status in the manufacture process of semiconductor devices.Fig. 1 is the structural representation of traditional lithographic exposure systems; Fig. 2 is the plan structure schematic diagram of circular iris in Fig. 1; As shown in the figure, traditional lithographic exposure systems comprises: circular iris 101, collector lens 102 and projecting lens 104, and circular iris 101, collector lens 102 and projecting lens 104 are arranged successively from top to bottom; When carrying out photolithographic exposure technique, photomask 103 is positioned between collector lens 102 and projecting lens 104, silicon substrate 105 is positioned over below projecting lens 104, incident ray 100 passes through circular iris 101 and collector lens 102 along axis, figure place on photomask 103 forms diffraction, diffraction light forms component graphics at silicon substrate 105 Surface Interference after projecting lens 104, thus completes photolithographic exposure technique.Wherein, the partial coherence factor sigma of circular iris 101 is the important parameters describing circular iris size.
Along with the development of semiconductor devices, dimension of picture constantly reduces, and traditional circular iris lighting system more and more can not meet the demand of technology.Multiple resolution enhance technology (ResolutionEnhancement Techniques is called for short RET) grows up gradually.Off-axis illumination (off-axisillumination) is the technology wherein comparatively commonly used.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 improving and have the intensive figure of less spatial separation in certain two specific direction arrangement, and Fig. 3 is the structural representation of the lithographic exposure systems adopting level Four off-axis illumination aperture; Fig. 4 is the plan structure schematic diagram of level Four off-axis illumination aperture; As shown in the figure, adopt the lithographic exposure systems 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 are arranged successively from top to bottom; When carrying out photolithographic exposure technique, photomask 203 is positioned between collector lens 202 and projecting lens 204, silicon substrate 205 is positioned over below projecting lens 204, incident ray 200 along the direction of necessarily departing from axis by level Four off-axis illumination aperture 201 and collector lens 202, figure place on photomask 203 forms diffraction, diffraction light forms component graphics at silicon substrate 205 Surface Interference after projecting lens 204, thus completes photolithographic exposure technique.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 describing level Four off-axis illumination aperture size, width and direction.The figure that this level Four off-axis illumination aperture can only arrange some specific direction has good effectiveness, but cannot play the effectiveness of photolithographic exposure to the figure of all directions arrangement.
