Description

用在浸没式平版印刷方法中自动聚焦部件的光学配置
发明背景
本发明涉及浸没式平版印刷方法中所用自动聚焦部件的光学配置。
今天所用的半导体平版印刷系统中,通常将光束以较小的倾角投射在硅晶片的表面上,然后在晶片表面偏转之后,检测光束的特性,由此完成自动聚焦和自动校平操作(AF/AL),通过偏转光束的光学处理和电学处理确定晶片高度。该光束在投射透镜的最后一个部件的下面穿过。光源和接收光学系统通常靠近投射光学系统安装位置,装在系统的稳定部分。
在浸没式平版印刷方法中,在投射透镜的最后一个表面和晶片之间的空间中充满液体例如水。在水的边缘部分,通常在透镜的边缘或者靠近透镜边缘的支承件上,液体-空气界面的形状不是很确定的,而且变化很快。因此,使AF/AL光束穿过这个界面,而又不受显著干扰,不造成信号损失和不影响该束的性能,这是不可能的。
因此本发明的目的是提供一种将AF/AL光束引入到液体层而又不发生这种干扰的方法,从而达到要求的光学准确度和稳定性。
具体是,本发明的目的是提供一种装置和方法,使得AF/AL光束可以用在如常规平版印刷方法中,而又不破坏性影响透镜边缘的液体浸没界面。
发明概要
本发明的自动聚焦单元用于浸没式平版印刷装置,该装置一般说成为不仅包括:配置成可以固定光栅的光栅台;配置成可以固定工件的工作台,该工件具有目标表面;光学系统,包括照明光源和光学部件例如透镜,该透镜配置在工件的相反侧,位于工件的上面,可以利用上述照明光源发射的光线使光栅的图案成像在工件上;而且还包括:流体输送装置,用于将流体输送到光学部件和工件之间确定的空间中,使得该流体既接触光学部件,又接触工件的目标表面。配置在工件相对侧的光学部件可以用作为自动聚焦单元本身的构件,该单元的特征还在于包括自动聚焦光源和接收器,前者按规定的角度倾斜地投射光束,使得该光束穿过流体,并在规定的偏转位置由工件的目标表面偏转,该偏转位置位于光学部件的下面,后者用于接收和分析由目标表面偏转的光束。最好在自动聚焦光源投射的光束光路上配置校正透镜,以便校正该光束的传播。
作为另一实施例,在工件相反侧的光学部件可以在其两个相互相对的侧部切开,并在这些切口下面放置光学透明的楔形部件,使得自动聚焦光源射出的光束穿过这些楔形部件,因为该光束穿过流体,在工件的目标表面上受到偏转,然后到达接收区,而完全不穿过该光学部件。在楔形部件和光学部件之间的间隙中可能形成气泡,为了避免这种可能产生气泡的问题,用适当的物质充满该间隙,并将间隙作得相当窄,例如小于2.0mm,利用毛细作用力使该间隙充满流体,或者配置一种机构,形成小的抽吸力,使得流体可以通过间隙向上移动,或者输送流体,使得间隙被流体充满。由自动聚焦光源投射的光束从楔形部件的内部折射进入流体的边界面不一定平行于工件的目标表面,而可以适当倾斜,这取决于物质的折射率,该折射率影响自动聚焦单元的设计。

具体实施例的详细说明
图1示出浸没式平版印刷装置100的一般结构,该装置包括实施本发明自动聚焦部件的光学配置。
如图1所示,该浸没式平版印刷装置100包括照明光学单元1,该单元包括光源例如KrF激元激光单元、光学积分器(或者光学均匀器)和透镜,该单元用于发射波长为248nm的脉冲紫外光IL,该紫外光入射在光栅R的图案上。将光栅R上的图案以规定的放大倍数(例如1/4倍或者1/5倍),通过远心光投射单元PL投射在涂有光致抗蚀剂的晶片W上。该脉冲光IL还可以是波长为193nm的ArF激元激光、波长为157nm的F2激光,或者波长为365nm的汞灯i谱线。在下面的说明中,参考图1所示的具有X、Y和Z轴的坐标系统说明平版印刷装置100结构和作用的方向。为了便于说明,图1中仅由位于晶片W相对侧的最后一级光学部件(例如透镜)4和包含所有其他构件的圆筒外壳3示出光投射单元PL。
光栅R支承在光栅台RST上,该台包括使光栅R沿X方向、Y方向移动和绕Z轴转动一定量的机构。利用激光干涉仪(未示出)实时检测光栅R在光栅台RST上的两维位置和取向,主控单元14根据由此得到的检测数据定位该光栅。
晶片W装在Z台9的晶片支架(未示出)上,以便控制晶片W的聚焦位置(沿Z轴的移动)和倾斜角。该Z台9固定于XY台10,该XY台适合于在XY台平面内基本上平行于光投射单元PL的成像表面运动。该XY台10固定在底座11上。因此Z台9的作用是使晶片的表面与光投射单元PL的成像表面重合,方法是用自动聚焦和自动校平方法调节晶片W的聚焦位置(沿Z轴的移动)和倾斜角,XY台10的作用是调节晶片W在X方向和Y方向的位置。
可以参照固定于Z台9的活动反射镜12,利用另一个激光干涉仪13监测Z台9的两维位置和方向(以及晶片的两维位置和方向)。将基于这种监测结果的控制数据从主控单元14输送到台驱动单元15,该驱动单元将按照接收的控制数据控制Z台9和XY台10的运动。在曝光时,按照光栅R上的图案以重复步进方式使光线从晶片上不同曝光位置的一个位置顺序移到另一位置。
图1所示的平版印刷装置100是一种浸没式印刷装置,该装置至少在将光栅R的图像拷贝在晶片W上时,适合于使规定类型的液体(或者“浸没液体”)7例如水充满晶片W表面和光投射单元PL最后一级光学部件4下表面之间的空间。
光投射单元PL最后一级光学部件4固定于圆筒形外壳3。在一种选择性实施例中,该最后一级光学部件4可以取下来,以便进行清洁和维修。
在温控状态下,用液体供应单元5将流体7输送到晶片W上面的空间中,并用液体回收单元6收集该液体7,该液体供应单元包括水桶、压力泵和温控装置(未单独示出)。液体7的温度被调节到大约等于其中配置平版印刷装置100本身的室中的温度。编号21表示液体源出口,供应单元5经该出口输送液体7。编号23表示回收入口,流体7通过该入口收集到回收单元6中。然而应当记住,图1所示的结构不限制应用本发明除去流体方法和机构的浸没式平版印刷装置的范围。换言之,本发明的自动聚焦单元可以装在很多不同类型的浸没式平版印刷装置中,具体是应当记住,可以以各种各样方式设计围绕光投射单元PL的流体源出口和回收入口21和23的数目和配置,以便形成浸没流体7的平衡流动和快速回收。
图4示出本发明的聚焦单元5(未示于图1),该单元装在浸没式平版印刷系统例如图1中用100示出的装置中,但本发明不限制安装该单元的具体系统的类型。在此例中,光投射单元PL的最后级光学部件4是半球形的投射透镜,其平表面朝下,对着晶片W的上表面(“目标表面”),该平表面与目标表面之间形成一个空间。该自动聚焦单元51这样配置,使其AF/AL光束54相对于晶片W的目标表面倾斜地射出,穿过该透镜4的下部边缘部分,然后折射进入到浸没流体7,从而在规定的偏转位置55由晶片W的目标表面偏转。用于接收和分析偏转的AF/AL光束54的接收器52恰当地配置在光投射单元PL的相反侧面。编号53分别表示称作为校正透镜的部件,该透镜配置在AF/AL光束54的光路上,用于校正光的传播。因为透镜4和液体7之间的界面是清晰的,基本上没有气泡,所以该光束基本上不受阻碍,可以提供很好的信号,而使检测保持很高的准确度。在图4中虚线表示曝光的光锥,或者曝光区域的边界。
图5示出本发明另一实施例的另一自动聚焦单元60。图5所示单元的部件与上述部件相同的部件用相同的编号表示。图5所示的单元60其特征在于,在分别面向自动聚焦单元51和接收器52的两个位置切去光投射单元PL最后级光学部件4的下表面。这些切开的表面最好是平的,如图5所示,但该最后级光学部件4在作用上仍基本上是半球形透镜。在这些切面的下面,在透镜4的两侧分别放置光学透明的称作为楔形部件61和62的部件,部件61位于自动聚焦光源51的一侧,而部件61位于接收器52的一侧。这样设计该切面和楔形部件61和62,使得自动聚焦光源51发出的AF/AL光束54穿过楔形部件61,折射进入浸没液体7,而不穿过透镜4,在偏转位置55由晶片W的目标表面偏转后,将折射进入楔形部件62,并由接收器52接收,仍不穿过透镜4。因为楔形部件可以用不同于透镜4的材料例如光学玻璃制作,所以此实施例是有利的。
从校正光学性能和在浸没液体7中产生气泡的观点看,在楔形部件61和62分别与透镜4之间的下部界面是很重要的。参考图6,该图更详细示出楔形部件61紧邻透镜4的那一部分,在其间的间隙D是可能产生气泡的根源,该气泡可能带入透镜4的下面,从而负面影响其光学性能。
克服此问题的一个方法是,用适当的物质充满该间隙,或者将楔形部件61紧压到与透镜4接触,使得间隙D基本上变成0,因此不影响液体界面。另一种解决办法是使间隙D保持在基本上等于或者小于2.0mm,通过毛细作用力使液体7充满间隙,甚至晶片W在透镜4下面运动时,也能保持这种充满。第三种解决办法是提供少量的抽吸力,使液体7在间隙D中向上移动,从而防止空气向下移动,如图7所示,在该图中,编号70表示用于提供这种抽吸力的空气泵。图8示出再一种解决方法,在这种解决办法中,在间隙D的开口上面配置液体7的液源72,使间隙D由流体7充满。
本发明已参考有限数目的配置进行说明,但这些配置不限制本发明的范围。在本发明的范围内,可以进行很多改型和变化。例如楔形部件61和62的形状不一定是图6所示的形状。例如,取决于相应于浸没液体7折射率和楔形部件61材料的要求AF/AL光束54入射角,最好形成如图9所示的楔形部件61,该楔形部件具有倾斜表面部分64,使得穿过楔形部件61的AF/AL光束54将折射进入浸没流体7,不一定穿过图6所示的水平边界面,而是穿过适当倾斜的表面部分64。这对于设计实施本发明的配置提供了灵活性。
下面参考图2,说明采用装有液体入口和回收系统的实施本发明的浸没式平版印刷装置制造半导体器件的工艺。在步骤301中,设计器件的功能和操作性能。随后在步骤302中,按照上述设计步骤设计具有图案的掩模(光栅),而平行的步骤303中,用硅材料制作晶片。而在步骤304中,采用光刻系统例如上述系统将步骤302中设计的掩模图案曝光在步骤303中制作的晶片上。在步骤305中,组装半导体器件(包括切片操作、焊接操作和包装操作),最后在步骤306中检测该器件。
图3示出在制造半导体情况下,上述步骤304的详细工艺流程例子。在步骤311(氧化步骤)中,氧化该晶体表面。在步骤312(CVD步骤)中,在晶片表面上形成绝缘膜。在步骤313(电极形成步骤)中,用蒸气沉积法在晶片上形成电极。在步骤314(离子注入步骤)中,将离子注入到晶片中。上述步骤311-314在晶片处理中形成晶片的预处理步骤,可以按照工艺要求,对各个步骤进行选择。
在晶片处理的各个阶段,在已经完成上述预处理步骤之后,可以进行以下的后处理步骤。在后处理步骤期间,首先在步骤315(形成光致抗蚀剂步骤)中,将光致抗蚀剂涂在晶片上。随后在步骤316(曝光步骤)中,采用上述曝光装置将掩模光栅的电路图案转移到晶片上,然后在步骤317(显影步骤)中,显影该曝光的晶片,在步骤318(腐蚀步骤)中,用腐蚀方法除去除残留光致抗蚀剂(已曝光的材料表面)外的那部分抗蚀剂。在步骤319(除去抗蚀剂的步骤)中,除去腐蚀后留下的不需要的抗蚀剂。随后通过重复这些预处理和后处理步骤形成多个电路图案。
尽管已根据若干优选实施例说明本发明的平版印刷系统,但是在本发明范围中,还存在很多变更、置换和各种可替代的等效部件。因此还应当看出,还存在很多其他的能够实施本发明装置和方法的方式。因此,以下所附的权利要求书可以解释为包括符合本发明真正精神和范围的所有这种变更、置换和可替代的等效部件。
