Description

The manufacture method of pattern defect detection device, pattern defect detection method and photomask
Technical field
The present invention relates to pattern defect detection device, the pattern defect detection method that the defective of tested repeat patterns of having a medical check-up is checked and implement these defect inspections and make the manufacture method of the photomask of photomask.
Background technology
All the time, as tested equipment of having a medical check-up or be used for making the photomask of this equipment, need check the defective of the pattern that forms from the teeth outwards.The defective of this pattern is included in has the mistake of expecting the outer Different Rule that produces on the regularly arranged pattern.They also are called as uneven defective, and are former thereby produce because of some in manufacturing process etc.
Especially, in display device, show inequality, thereby have the trouble of equipment performance decline if exist described defective then to produce.When making this display device, in the employed photomask,, therefore there is the trouble of improvement of display devices decline if the pattern generating defective of photomask then is transferred on the pattern of display device owing to this defective.
All the time, defective in the pattern of described such display device or the pattern of photomask is following defective, promptly, because fine usually mischief rule is arranged, therefore in the shape inspection of separately pattern, in most cases can't detect, but when observing, show the state different with other parts as regional integration.Therefore, defect inspection is mainly by implementing based on visual visual examinations such as skew ray inspection.
But this visual examination exists check result because of the problem that the operator produces deviation, therefore expects the robotization of flaw detection apparatus.
As making visual skew ray check automation equipment, one of them for example is the macro inspection apparatus of semiconductor wafer.For example open in the flat 9-329555 communique (patent documentation 1) the spy and disclose a kind of device, it has: light source, the light of its periodic structure (repeat patterns) irradiation expectation wavelength on semiconductor wafer; Camera, it accepts the diffraction light from substrate surface; Testing agency, it is used for detecting defective by the captured view data of this camera and flawless reference data are compared.This macro inspection apparatus is accommodated in the whole face of wafer in the single visual field and checks the structural surface imperfection of the semiconductor wafer that the following development/etching/stripping process that changes defocusing of being caused, wafer that biasing because of focus, wafer upper-lower position are present in wafer because of impurity (particle) causes.
So, when use is checked the defective of this repeat patterns from the diffraction light of the repeat patterns of semiconductor wafer, described semiconductor wafer is rotated in the carrying plane of this semiconductor wafer of supporting.This be because, the shape that constitutes the unit cell pattern of repeat patterns is not simple rectilinear form, has 2 dimension shapes sometimes, therefore, as mentioned above by making semiconductor wafer rotation from different directions to the repeat patterns irradiates light, thereby check the defective of this repeat patterns well.
Tested in the patent documentation 1 have a medical check-up to as if semiconductor wafer, the size of this semiconductor wafer is diameter 200mm, the diameter maximum is about 300mm.And, in this patent documentation 1 described flaw detection apparatus, as shown in Figure 7, in the single visual field 104 of camera, check this semiconductor wafer 100 whole, semiconductor wafer 100 in the consistent mode of the rotation center 102 of its center and objective table 101 by these objective table 101 supportings and rotate.Thereby, the size of the objective table 101 of support semi-conductor wafers 100 be set at the size of semiconductor wafer 100 about equally.
In addition, in the photomask of display device such as liquid crystal panel or this liquid crystal panel manufacturing usefulness, also exist to have the structure that surpasses 1m on one side even surpass the large substrate of 2m.So explanation utilizes flaw detection apparatus inspection shown in Figure 7 to have the situation of the photomask of large substrate with reference to Fig. 8.At this moment, the single visual field 104 of camera is compared obviously little with large-scale substrate 103 as shown in Figure 8, therefore, when adopting patent documentation 1 described flaw detection apparatus to check, there is following variety of issue to the defective of the repeat patterns in the large substrate 103.
At first, because whole of can't under single visual field, check described such large substrate 103, therefore, the inspection area of large substrate 103 need be divided into single visual field 104 is a plurality of inspection areas 105 of cutting apart of unit, then, make objective table 101 rotations according to the defect inspection of respectively cutting apart in the inspection area 105, thereby check the existing defective of repeat patterns.
But, at this moment, when in the cutting apart inspection area 105 and check defectives of the end that is arranged in large substrate 103, the diagonal line 107 that rotating range 106 when making these large substrate 103 rotations becomes with this large substrate 103 is the circle of radius of turn, thereby objective table 101 need form and this rotating range 106 size about equally.
And then, because the big large substrate 103 of objective table 101 taking the weight ofs, therefore, weight bias in this objective table 101.Thereby, thereby bring dysgenic mode supporting substrates and the objective table rotation is driven checking precision not make large substrate 103 produce deflection, be complicated and difficult on equipment mechanism.
In addition, when making large substrate 103 rotations and do not make shooting cut apart the camera rotation of inspection area 105, shown in Fig. 9 (A), the inspection area 105 of cutting apart of cutting apart the inspection area of large substrate 103 for example needs 19, thereby the supervision time is long.At this moment,, shown in Fig. 9 (B), rotate by Flame Image Process and to be adapted to regular position by the image of respectively cutting apart inspection area 105 of camera, but, because the number of cutting apart inspection area 105 is many, so Flame Image Process needs the time, and this also is to cause a long reason of supervision time.

[A] first embodiment (Fig. 1 to Fig. 5)
Fig. 1 is the approximate three-dimensional map of first embodiment of expression pattern defect detection device of the present invention.Fig. 2 is the summary side elevation of the pattern defect detection device of presentation graphs 1.
The pattern defect detection device 10 of first embodiment of Figure 1 and Figure 2 is used to check the defective that the repeat patterns 51 (with reference to Fig. 2) that forms on the surface as the tested photomask of having a medical check-up 50 is produced.That is, illustrated pattern defect detection device 10 have objective table 11 (Fig. 2), as the light supply apparatus 12 of light source mechanism, as the finder 13 of observation element, light receiving optical system 14 that this finder 13 is possessed with as the whirligig 16 (Fig. 1) of rotating mechanism.
At this, photomask 50 for example is the exposure mask that adopts when making display device such as liquid crystal indicator (especially Flat Panel Display:FPD), plasm display device, EL display device, LED display device, DMD display device.
Then, illustrate as the tested photomask of having a medical check-up 50.The photomask that photomask 50 is normally following: transparency carriers such as synthetic quartz glass substrate are provided with photomasks such as chromium film, and local remove this photomask so that it becomes the pattern of expectation, thereby form the photomask pattern.With regard to checked photomask 50 in the present embodiment, unit cell pattern 53 has regularly arranged repeat patterns 51 on its surface as shown in Figure 2.
As shown in Figure 5, photomask 50 is to possess mutually orthogonal limit L1, L2, and the large-scale photomask that surpasses one of at least 1m of limit L1, L2, in addition, as shown in Figure 2, spacing (pel spacing) d of the repeat patterns of this photomask 50 (pattern of pixels) 51 for example is about 50~1000 μ m.
Usually, as the manufacture method of this photomask 50, at first, on transparency carrier, form photomask, and on this photomask, form resist film.Then, describe the laser beam of machine and implement to describe the pattern of exposure regulation to this resist film irradiation.Then, optionally remove drawing section and non-drawing section and form the resist pattern.Then, be that mask comes the etching photomask with the resist pattern, on this photomask, form repeat patterns (photomask pattern) 51, last, remove remaining resist, thereby make photomask 50.
In described manufacturing process, when resist film directly being implemented to describe by the scanning of laser beam, scan scanning accuracy, beam footpath or scan the tie point that width produces because of depending on sometimes, each is described the generation of unit period ground and describes the bad mistake that causes, and this becomes the reason that the described defective on the repeat patterns 51 produces.In addition, produce pattern defect because of a variety of causes sometimes with systematicness.
Fig. 4 represents an example of this defective.In this Fig. 4, symbol 54 expression defect areas.Fig. 4 (A) is expressed as follows the defective of generation, that is since based on beam describe produce position deviation on the tie point, the interval of the unit cell pattern 53 of repeat patterns 51 in the horizontal the part produce difference, cause defective thus.Fig. 4 (B) is expressed as follows the defective of generation, that is, same since based on beam describe produce position deviation on the tie point, depart from the position of the unit cell pattern 53 of repeat patterns 51 other unit cell pattern 53 relatively, causes defective thus.Defective shown in these Fig. 4 (A) reach (B) is called the defective of coordinate position change system.
In addition, Fig. 4 (C) and (D) expression is owing to describe the deviation etc. of the intensity of beam of machine, unit cell pattern 53 parts of repeat patterns 51 attenuate or the defective of chap, and these defectives are called the defective of dimensional variations system.
In addition, the pattern defect detection device 10 employed described objective tables 11 (Fig. 2) of Figure 1 and Figure 2 are the platforms that possesses the carrying plane of supporting photomask 50.This objective table 11 is by forming the X-Y objective table that can move along directions X and Y direction, and the inspection area 58 (aftermentioned) of respectively cutting apart of photomask 50 can be set in assigned position.
Light supply apparatus 12 adopts the light source of high brightness (illumination is more than the 300000Lx) and collimation height (depth of parallelism is in 2 °).As the light source that can satisfy such condition, preferred extra-high-pressure mercury vapour lamp, xenon lamp, metal halide lamp.
This light supply apparatus 12 passes through photoconductive tubes 18 to collimation lens 19 direct light from the apparatus main body 17 of taking in described light source, and is configured in the below of objective table 11.This light supply apparatus 12 from oblique below with the surface, regularly arranged repeat patterns 51 irradiates lights that unit cell pattern 53 is arranged of the photomask 50 of incident angle θ i on the carrying plane that is bearing in objective table 11 of expectation.
Finder 13 for example can be with the CCD camera that possesses object lens as camera head, and be configured on the vertical direction of the carrying plane of relative objective table 11 opposed position or relatively carrying plane with the opposed position of predetermined angular.Finder 13 is accepted by light receiving optical system 14 diffraction of light light that accept, that seen through photomask 50, and reads in the CCD camera as image information.The finder 13 that possesses light receiving optical system 14, on the vertical direction of the carrying plane that is disposed at relative objective table 11 during opposed position, can reduce following problem: because tilted configuration, the distance of the object lens of light receiving optical system 14 and photomask 50 becomes inhomogeneous, in face, produce far and near sense, originally the repeat patterns of uniform-dimension looks like to become inhomogeneous, or focus departs from face.
Described finder 13 is accepted to have seen through in the diffraction of light light of photomask 50 absolute value than the diffraction light of 0 big number of times.At this, between the irradiates light (incident light) and diffraction light of photomask 50 irradiations that possess repeat patterns 51 from repeat patterns 51, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, when the spacing of establishing repeat patterns 51 be d, incident angle be θ i, number of times be the angle of diffraction of n the diffraction light of n be θ n, when the incident light wavelength is λ, following relational expression (1) is set up.
d(sinθn±sinθi)=nλ……(1)
Because the defect information that 0 diffraction light (direct sunshine) is fine is relatively extremely few, so absolute value more comprises fine defect information relatively than the diffraction light of 0 big number of times with manying, therefore, in order to obtain microscopic defect information, as mentioned above, need accept the diffraction light (n diffraction light) of the absolute value number of times wideer by finder 13 than 0 diffraction.In addition, the diffraction frequency n is determined based on the spacing d of repeat patterns 51.Thereby according to formula (1), for the relative spacing d of the regulation of repeat patterns 51, finder 13 is accepted n diffraction light of regulation, needs suitably change and wavelength X, the incident angle θ i of setting n diffraction direction of light (n diffraction angle n) or incident light.Also have, n diffraction angle n among Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 represents the angle of diffraction of-1 diffraction light.
In addition, finder 13 uses cameras such as CCD camera as camera head, the image that this CCD camera can be read in is presented in the display frame thus, in addition, this image can be resolved by resolver (not shown) as view data.This CCD camera is a regional camera (area camera) of taking 2 dimension images.In addition, also can on this finder 13, equip eyepiece.
The view data that is obtained by finder 13 sends to not shown resolver.This resolver is by being provided with threshold value to the view data self from finder 13, make photomask 50 repeat patterns 51 remarkableization of defective and detect.
In addition, the unit cell pattern 53 of the repeat patterns 51 of Fig. 2 and photomask 50 shown in Figure 3 is not simple rectilinear form sometimes, but 2 dimension complicated shapes.Under these circumstances, need be in the face parallel shine light once more, and accept diffraction light, check the defective of repeat patterns 51 to repeat patterns 51 irradiations of photomask 50 from the position of departing from predetermined angular with this photomask 50.
Therefore, in the pattern defect detection device 10 of present embodiment, for from photomask 50 irradiates lights of different directions on objective table 11, as shown in Figure 1, be provided with described whirligig 16, this whirligig 16 makes the collimation lens 19 of light supply apparatus 12 rotate predetermined angular in the face parallel with the carrying plane of objective table 11.
In addition, photomask 50 is as Fig. 1 and shown in Figure 5, is the large substrate that surpasses one of at least 1m of mutually orthogonal limit L1, L2, therefore, in defect inspection, need cut apart the inspection area 57 of photomask 50, to respectively cutting apart inspection area 58 irradiates lights, and accept diffraction light and check defective.These are cut apart inspection area 58 and are arranged side by side along mutually orthogonal limit L1, the L2 of photomask 50.Described objective table 11 makes photomask 50 move along directions X, Y direction so that the photomask 50 that is supported respectively cut apart inspection area 58 be positioned at finder 13 under (the optical axis consistent location of respectively cutting apart the object lens of the middle position of inspection area 58 and light receiving optical system 14).
Whirligig 16 shown in Figure 1, particularly, can be positioned at the side that the middle position of respectively cutting apart inspection area 58 and bottom surface are positioned at the circular cone on the face parallel with the carrying plane of objective table 11 along the summit, make light rotation predetermined angular, and collimation lens 19 is configured in a plurality of positions from collimation lens 19 irradiations.The turning axle 20 of collimation lens 19 is consistent with the central shaft of described circular cone, and the optical axis 21 of this turning axle 20 and finder 13 is consistent and be provided with.In addition, the range of exposures 22 from the light of collimation lens 19 irradiation is set at the single size of cutting apart inspection area 58 that comprises photomask 50.
Described whirligig 16 constitutes: for example with turning axle 20 driving shaft is set as one man, extends from this driving shaft the arm that an end is provided with collimation lens 19 is set, can utilize motor etc. to make driving shaft rotation predetermined angular.Also have, symbol 23 expressions among Fig. 1 come the optical axis of the incident light of self-focus lens 19.
When adopting described such pattern defect detection device 10 to check that the repeat patterns 51 (photomask) of photomask 50 goes up the defective that produces, at first, photomask 50 is bearing on the carrying plane of objective table 11, by this objective table 11 photomask 50 is moved along directions X and Y direction, thus with this photomask 50 cut apart arbitrarily defect area 58 be set in finder 13 under.
Then, from the collimation lens 19 of light supply apparatus 12 the described incident angle θ i irradiates light of cutting apart inspection area 58 with expectation arbitrarily to photomask 50, accept to obtain the view data that this cuts apart inspection area 58 by finder 13 from the diffraction light (n diffraction light) of absolute value in the diffraction light of photomask 50 than 0 big number of times.According to this view data, resolver is checked the defective of this repeat patterns of cutting apart inspection area 58 51.
Then, make the collimation lens 19 of light supply apparatus 12 in the face parallel, rotate predetermined angular by whirligig 16 with the carrying plane of objective table 11, in this position equally with the expectation incident angle θ i to described inspection area 58 irradiates lights of cutting apart arbitrarily.Finder 13 accept this moment from the absolute value of photomask 50 diffraction light (n diffraction light) than 0 big number of times, resolver is checked the defective of this repeat patterns of cutting apart inspection area 58 51 based on the view data from finder 13.
Cut apart inspection area 58 arbitrarily for this, after the defect inspection of the repeat patterns of implementing implementing repeatedly described such direction of illumination to change 51 to light, make objective table 11 actions, to adjacency cut apart inspection area 58, implement repeatedly that direction of illumination to light changes and the defect inspection of the repeat patterns 51 implemented.To all inspection areas 58 of cutting apart of photomask 50, implement repeatedly that direction of illumination to light changes and the defect inspection of this photomask 50 is finished in the defect inspection of the repeat patterns 51 implemented.It is carried out as a ring of the manufacturing process of photomask 50.
Thereby, according to described embodiment, play following effect (1)~(4).
(1) for from the collimation lens 19 of light supply apparatus 12 to photomask 50 respectively cut apart inspection area 58 with different a plurality of direction irradiates lights, whirligig 16 makes the collimation lens 19 of light supply apparatus 12 rotate predetermined angular in the face parallel with the carrying plane of objective table 11.Therefore, are 2 complicated dimension shapes even constitute the unit cell pattern 53 of the lip-deep repeat patterns 51 of photomask 50, also can utilize diffraction light (n diffraction light) to check the defective that on this repeat patterns 51, produces well than 0 big number of times.
(2) in order respectively to cut apart inspection area 58 with different a plurality of direction irradiates lights to photomask 50 from the collimation lens 19 of light supply apparatus 12, make the collimation lens 19 of light supply apparatus 12 in the face parallel, rotate predetermined angular, and do not make objective table 11 rotations of supporting photomask 50 with the carrying plane of objective table 11.Therefore, even under the situation of the large substrate that surpasses one of at least 1m of the limit of photomask 50 L1, L2, also can avoid the maximization of objective table 11, in addition, the complex rotation that does not need to support the objective table 11 of large-scale and the photomask 50 that weight is big drives, and the equipment mechanism that comprises objective table 11 is oversimplified.
(3) owing to cut apart the inspection area 57 of photomask 50 and when each is cut apart inspection area 58 and check the defective of repeat patterns 51 of photomasks 50, can be along the inspection area 57 limit set and respectively cut apart inspection area 58, therefore, these numbers of cutting apart inspection area 58 are minimized.For example, in objective table 101 rotations as made supporting large substrate 103 (Fig. 8) in the past, and do not make under the situation that camera and objective table 101 synchronously rotate, as shown in Figure 9, the inspection area 105 of cutting apart of cutting apart the inspection area of large substrate 103 for example needs 19, but as shown in Figure 5, in the present embodiment, can make and cut apart inspection area 58 and be promptly 15 of minimum numbers.Consequently, owing to can reduce the inspection number of times, therefore, can shorten the supervision time of the defective that produces on the repeat patterns 51 of photomask 50.
(4) because finder 13 acceptance comprise the diffraction light (n diffraction light) of 0 big number of times of ratio of the defect information that produces on the repeat patterns 51 of photomask 50, therefore can check described defective well.
