Description

Mask base plate and photomask
Technical field
The present invention relates to mask base plate (mask blank) and photomask (photo mask), particularly be used to make the FPD device mask base plate (base plate that photomask is used), adopt photomask (transfer mask) that this mask base plate processes etc.
Background technology
In recent years, in the field of large-scale FPD, attempt adopting gray scale mask, cut down the number (non-special permission document 1) of mask with semi-transparency field (being so-called gray scale part) with mask.
Here, shown in Fig. 5 (1) and Fig. 6 (1), gray scale mask has light shielding part 1 and sees through portion 2 and the semi-transparency field is a gray scale portion 3 on transparency carrier.Gray scale portion 3 has the function of adjustment transit dose; For example; Shown in Fig. 5 (1), be to have formed the field of gray scale mask, perhaps shown in Fig. 6 (1) with semi-transparency film (semi-transparency film) 3a`; It is the field that has formed greyscale pattern (large LCD that uses gray scale mask is with fine light-shielding pattern 3a below the imaging limit of exposure machine and the fine 3b of portion of seeing through); The formation purpose is: reduce to see through the transit dose of the light in these fields, reduce the exposure that cause in this field, the film thickness monitoring after will reducing the thickness after the video picture of photoresist that should the field is to expectation value.
Large-scale gray scale mask is carried Miller projection (Miller Projection) mode or uses when using on the large-scale exposure device of lens mode of lens; Whole as the exposure light that sees through gray scale portion 3; Make exposure become not enough; Therefore through the only attenuation of thickness of the positive photoresist of these gray scale portion 3 exposures, and remain on the substrate.Promptly; Because the difference of exposure, photoresist can the part corresponding with common light shielding part 1 and with gray scale portion 3 corresponding part on, difference appears on the dissolubility to developer solution; Therefore; Shown in Fig. 5 (2) and Fig. 6 (2), the photoresist shape after the development for example is about 1 μ m with common light shielding part 1 corresponding part 1`; For example be about 0.4 ~ 0.5 μ m with the 3 corresponding part 3` of gray scale portion; With the part 2` that becomes no photoresist through portion's 2 corresponding parts.And; On the part 2` of no photoresist; Carry out the 1st etching of processed substrate, the photoresist through the corresponding thin part 3` of removal such as ashing and gray scale portion 3 carries out the 2nd etching in this part; Needing originally to carry out 2 operations that mask carries out through 1 mask thus, thereby cut down the mask number.

; The LSI that is used to make the semiconductor devices of microprocessor, semiconductor memory, system LSI etc. uses mask; Its full-size is that 6 inches degree are square, and is small-sized relatively, is equipped in the reduced projection exposure device that adopts reduced projection (shot stepper) mode step by step more.This LSI with mask in, as being transferred substrate, serve as that final form is used with Silicon Wafer to be cut to a plurality of chips.This LSI with mask in, should break the imaging limit by exposure wavelength decision, can realize the short wavelengthization of exposure wavelength.Here, LSI with mask in, from the viewpoint that scioptics systems gets rid of chromatic aberation and improves imaging thus, can use monochromatic exposure light (exposure light of single wavelength).About the short wavelengthization of this LSI, develop into g line (436nm), i line (365nm), KrF PRK (248nm), the ArF PRK (193nm) of ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp with the exposure wavelength of the monochrome of mask.In addition, make and be formed on LSI and reach (minimum feature that is formed on the pattern on the wafer is about 0.07 μ m) about 0.26 μ m with the minimum feature of the mask pattern on the mask.
Relative therewith; With FPD with large-scale mask (Flat Panel Display) be equipped on Miller projection (through the scan exposure mode, etc. times projection exposure) when the exposure device of mode uses; (1) only can carry out exposure, therefore can not occur as LSI with mask, owing to the problem of lens combination between the chromatic aberation that wherein produces through mask through reflective optical system; And (2) are under present situation; Study the influence (based on the influence that sees through light and catoptrical interference and chromatic aberation etc.) of polychrome ripple exposure (multi-wavelength exposure) with a plurality of wavelength, with monochromatic wave make public (single wavelength exposure) compare and guaranteed big exposure light intensity, be favourable from comprehensive production face; In addition; When the large-scale exposure device that is equipped on the lens mode uses, because above-mentioned (2) described situation etc., implement to utilize the polychrome ripple exposure in wide wavelength band territory of the i line~g line of ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp.
In addition; FPD with large-scale mask base plate in, compare with the situation that substrate size is little, when substrate size is big; Owing to make the reason of the limit surface (being derived from the limit surface of manufacturing approach and manufacturing installation) on the principle; And the reason of the change of creating conditions (process change), in the face and the various characteristics between substrate (film forms, membranous, transmitance, reflectivity, optical concentration, etching characteristic, other, optical characteristics, thickness etc.) be easy to generate inequality; Therefore, be difficult to make in a large amount of, the face and the uniform mask base plate of various characteristics between substrate.This characteristic becomes more meticulous along with further maximization, the height of FPD and the trend that occurs increasing.
In face and under the big situation of the deviation of various characteristics between substrate, following problem can appear.
(1) the big product of various characteristics deviation from the big this point of deviation, can not be called high-qualityly, on the performance face, can not be called good.
(2) when the deviation of various characteristics is big, be difficult to make product up to specification, also be difficult to a large amount of products up to specification of producing.
(3) because the deviation of various characteristics is big, out-of-spec product can occur, cause productivity (yield rate) poor.
(4) when the deviation of various characteristics is big, need slow down accordingly with it specification limits.Therefore, can not realize high standardization, be difficult to tackle high standardization.
Moreover, be formed on minimum feature that FPD uses the pattern on the large-scale mask and be about 1 μ m below, be formed on the minimum feature that is transferred with the pattern on the large-size glass substrate and be about 2~3 μ m, greater than the minimum feature of the LSI of tip.But, large-area FPD is used as 1 product, to compare with LSI, its final form is a large tracts of land, needs all a plurality of elements all to play a role.Therefore, do not allow to have the out-of-spec defective that hinders defective that all elements play a role and the possibility that is considered to have obstruction.So; In the FPD product; Need to realize large tracts of land and zero defect, but reach the deviation of the various characteristics between substrate in the face in the large-scale mask when big as FPD that existence is difficult to realize the characteristic of FPD with high-qualityization of large-scale mask and large tracts of land FPD product and raising yield rate etc.This characteristic is along with further maximization, the height of FPD becomes more meticulous and the trend that occurs increasing.
As stated, FPD with large-scale mask in, based on the difference of mask environment for use and the difference of mask size etc., we can say can require (promptly having necessity of discussion) it has at LSI and can not require in mask the characteristic of (promptly do not have inquire into necessity).
About based on the FPD of the generations such as difference of the environment for use of such mask with the distinctive characteristic that requires of large-scale mask, invention personnel of the present invention are conceived to the exposure of polychrome ripple.
So, a plurality of wavelength advantage that (exposure of polychrome ripple) handle of making public is: the exposure (monochromatic wave exposure) that the light intensity of exposure can be carried out greater than single wavelength.For example compare with the monochromatic wave exposure that is merely the i line or is merely the g line, make public to the light in the wavelength band territory of g line through the i line that lies across that comprises the h line, exposure intensity is big.Therefore, can improve the productivity of device.
For example, more large-scale display device such as FPD device adopts and waits a times exposure method to make.Compare with the exposure method that dwindles that in the manufacturing of LSI device etc., adopts; In waiting times exposure method; Shine exposure light on the device side to inject intensity little, therefore having can be through utilizing a plurality of wavelength, to shining the advantage that intensity is replenished of injecting of exposure light on the device side.
On the other hand, when utilizing a plurality of wavelength to carry out exposure-processed,, therefore need fully to suppress the reflectivity of mask surface because the light intensity of exposure is big.
This is after being reflected because of a part that shines the exposure light on the device side; Be injected into the light (light that returns from device side one side) of mask surface from device side one side; The reflected light of masked surface reflection also becomes the light with a plurality of wavelength; This light is injected on the device side with exposure light once more, and therefore suitable pattern forms and hindered.
For example; Because the area of the display device that FPD device etc. are large-scale is big; Therefore special demands are carried out uniform exposure-processed in face, but in a plurality of wavelength exposures that utilize a plurality of wavelength, catoptrical light intensity is big; Be difficult to fully suppress, therefore become and (for example: the essential factor of the FPD device) supplying with hinder high-quality goods.
In addition, under the situation of gray scale mask, the reflected light of the mask surface that the back light by device one side that gray scale portion and light shielding part two places produce causes is injected into device one side, therefore also might cause and make difficulty.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to, find out the problem of following the exposure of polychrome ripple to occur, propose corresponding solution.
Based on invention personnel's of the present invention research, draw if in the scope in the wavelength band territory of the exposure light that is used for exposure-processed, the mask that the reflectivity of mask surface is suppressed at wide band can address these problems.
In addition; Based on discovering of invention personnel of the present invention; At the mask that the light-transmitting substrate laminated has the lower layer part of shade function and the upper layer part with anti-reflective function that on this lower layer part, forms forms; When with the composition of said lower layer part and said upper layer part adjacent part, when the composition that has a continuity migration towards said upper layer part from said lower layer part tilts, can address these problems.
In addition; Based on discovering of invention personnel of the present invention; Has the lower layer part of shade function and under the situation of the upper layer part that has anti-reflective function on this lower layer part in formation; Utilize online sputtering method etc., handle, can from the lower layer part to the upper layer part, form such composition oblique structure well through continuous formation.
Moreover invention personnel of the present invention are conceived to FPD with distinctive polychrome ripple exposure in the large-scale mask manufacturing, study with the distinctive characteristic that requires of large-scale mask to the FPD that is suitable for this polychrome ripple exposure.
The fact below the result has found.
(1) from exposure light source be ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp radiation i line, h line, g line exposure light intensity (relative intensity) about equally.More particularly, the exposure light intensity (relative intensity) of i line, h line, g line but is compared with the i line at two ends, the intensity of g line about equally, the intensity lower slightly (with reference to figure 1) of the h line of central authorities.
That is,, need either party of the equal i of attention line, h line, g line, can think for when the mask exposure from relative intensity, effect that can corresponding relative intensity performance, for example the face reflectivity that produces of antireflection film etc. all need be given equal attention.
Here; Relative intensity at corresponding i line, h line, g line shows on; When considering the face reflectivity of antireflection film; The branch light curve (spectral reflectance curve, reflectance curve) of the face reflectivity R that the antireflection film of certain thickness produces is the function of wavelength X, can use R=f (λ) expression.The branch light curve of this face reflectivity R, mainly by membrane material, film form, membranous, create conditions, decision such as manufacturing installation.On the other hand, face reflectivity R is relevant with R=f (λ) and thickness, changes with their variation.
In addition, about face reflectivity R,, do not having problems on the performance of antireflection and on the specification as long as below certain value.Therefore; In the wavelength band territory of i line~g line; Even the amplitude of fluctuation of the branch light curve of face reflectivity R (maximum reflectivity of the reflectivity in each wavelength and minimum reflectance poor) big (dividing the crooked strong of light curve); As long as the maximal value of the face reflectivity R in the wavelength band territory of i line~g line is below the certain value, on antireflection property, not have problems.
Yet the exposure light intensity of considering i line, h line, g line even can know and be preferably for either party of i line, h line, g line, can realize face antiradar reflectivity (low face reflectivity) about equally about equally.
(2) can know and in fact can produce the film that has face reflectivity (for example: in i line, h line, the g line, the mutual difference of each reflectivity is lower than 1%) about equally for i line, h line, g line.
(3) can know the large-scale FPD that can be used in polychrome ripple exposure with mask in; Through having the film of face reflectivity about equally, be applied to mask base plate and mask for relative intensity i line, h line, g line about equally; The situation of the film big with adopting the change width of cloth is compared; Process easily in the face in a large number and the uniform goods of face reflectivity between substrate, therefore, help to improve quality and the yield rate of mask base plate etc.; And then, help to improve quality and yield rate of large tracts of land FPD goods etc.
(4) relevant with above-mentioned (1), (3); For example as shown in Figure 3; At least be for i line, h line, g line by optical design; Have under the situation of the little film (for example amplitude of fluctuation is lower than 1%) of about equally the amplitude of fluctuation face reflectivity, the face reflectivity, be preferably in comprising the wide wavelength band territory of i line ~ g line, the film that the amplitude of fluctuation of face reflectivity is little (for example by optical design for being in the wavelength band territory of 350nm~450nm at wavelength; The amplitude of fluctuation of face reflectivity is lower than 2%; And the film of processing) situation under, for the change of creating conditions (process change) with the change formed of the film that produces and the change of thickness etc. thereupon, even divide light curve (spectral reflectance curve, reflectance curve) to left and right displacement up and down; Therefore can not cause spectral reflectance (reflectivity in each wavelength) that big change takes place, the having good uniformity of spectral reflectance (reflectivity in each wavelength) yet.Therefore, can know easily, produce in a large number the goods that have good uniformity of spectral reflectance (reflectivity in each wavelength), in addition, in large quantities, high finished product rate produce mask base plate and the mask of k up to specification easily.
Relative therewith; For example as shown in Figure 3, in above-mentioned wavelength band territory, when the change width of cloth H` of spectral reflectance (reflectivity in each wavelength) is big; Change of forming for slightly the change of creating conditions (process change) and the film that produces thereupon and thickness change etc.; Divide light curve (spectral reflectance curve, reflectance curve) about up and down, to produce displacement, cause the significantly change of spectral reflectance (reflectivity in each wavelength) thus, so the homogeneity variation of spectral reflectance (reflectivity in each wavelength); In addition; Owing to divide the displacement of light curve (spectral reflectance curve, reflectance curve), the ratio of the product beyond the specification k is increased, cause making difficulty and the productivity variation.Therefore, in fact compare with the little situation of change width of cloth H, the words that do not reduce specification k just can not obtain good productivity.
(5) as stated; Even in the wavelength band territory of i line~g line; The amplitude of fluctuation of the branch light curve of face reflectivity R is big, as long as the maximal value of the branch light curve of the face reflectivity R in the wavelength band territory of i line~g line is not in-problem on the performance of antireflection below certain value.Yet; For example as shown in Figure 4; The amplitude of fluctuation of the spectral reflectance (reflectivity in each wavelength) in the preferred above-mentioned wavelength band territory is little; Compare with the situation that amplitude of fluctuation is big, in the specification k that closes at the above-mentioned wavelength band territory that lies across, k`, under the situation in (can management of wavelengths band territory), become a standard that judges whether to process identical film with the specification value k of the upper limit, lower limit, k`.
(6) in addition, relevant with above-mentioned (2), in that find in fact can be with respect to i line, h line, g line, produce in the process of film of the face reflectivity that has about equally, obtain following opinion.
(i) words of the antireflection film of chromium oxide film class (for example CrO film individual layer etc.); When making it have the function as antireflection film, can contain O (because the O in the film is many) in the film, the wavelength band territory of i line~g line; Moreover in comprising the wideer wavelength band territory in described wavelength band territory; Basically divide the crooked strong of light curve (spectral reflectance curve, reflectance curve), in addition, in a minute light curve (spectral reflectance curve, reflectance curve); The width that becomes the wavelength band territory of minimum reflectance diminishes, and the amplitude of fluctuation of spectral reflectance (reflectivity in each wavelength) has the tendency that becomes big.
Here; Also can consider through the antireflection film of chromium oxide film class (for example CrO film etc.) is processed multilayer, thereby reduce the amplitude of fluctuation of the spectral reflectance (reflectivity in each wavelength) in the above-mentioned wavelength band territory, but when processing multilayer; It is complicated that technology becomes, and also can cause the increase of film defective.
(ii) compare with the antireflection film of chromium oxide film class; Nitrogen chromium oxide film class (for example: in antireflection film CrON film etc.), the wavelength band territory of i line~g line, moreover in comprising the wideer wavelength band territory in described wavelength band territory; Basically divide the crooked mild of light curve (spectral reflectance curve, reflectance curve); Be flat, but for reach a large amount of manufacturings high-quality, the purpose of (tighter specification) mask base plate and FPD more uniformly, even the antireflection film of any nitrogen chromium oxide film; Can not reach described purpose; And no matter which type of light-proofness film the lower floor of the antireflection film of nitrogen chromium oxide film class is, can not reach described purpose.Therefore, need find out, use the antireflection film and the light-proofness film of the nitrogen chromium oxide film class that satisfies the specified requirements be suitable for reaching said purpose.Promptly; Even the nitrogen chromium oxide film that membrane material is identical; But because the adjustment that film is formed, the selection of creating conditions, making position etc. and control, these are to the material of membranous control, light-proofness film etc., the position of peak base (Bottom Peak), the differences such as difference that film constitutes, and also have the situation that satisfies specified requirements and discontented toe fixed condition.

Embodiment
Below, the present invention is elaborated.
The present invention should be used to make the mask base plate and the mask of FPD device; It is characterized in that; It is the light-proofness film that constitutes by lower layer part with shade function and upper layer part at least with anti-reflective function; Be from the wavelength band territory from the i line to the g line at least of ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp radiation, the change width of cloth of face reflectivity is controlled in and is lower than 1% the interior film (constituting 1) of scope.
In the present invention, in order to process the light-proofness film that satisfies above-mentioned condition,, also need confirm the adjustment of forming through to film except selecting to think to have the membrane material of the possibility (being suitable for satisfying above-mentioned condition) that satisfies above-mentioned condition; To create conditions, the selected and control of manufacturing installation etc.; Thus to membranous control, the material of light-proofness film etc., above-mentioned condition can be satisfied in the position of peak base, film formation etc.In addition, even identical membrane material, owing to the adjustment that film is formed; To create conditions, the selected and control of manufacturing installation etc.; Thus to membranous control, the material of light-proofness film etc., also there are the goods that satisfy above-mentioned condition and do not satisfy above-mentioned condition in the position of peak base (dividing light curve (spectral reflectance curve, reflectance curve) minimum reflectance part), the difference that film constitutes etc.
In the present invention; Under aforesaid situation; Said light-proofness film is to be made into optical design to be: from the wavelength band territory from the i line to the g line at least of ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp radiation; The change width of cloth of face reflectivity is in being lower than 1% scope, and is almost equal for the face reflectivity of i line, h line, g line, do not receive the film of wavelength restriction.
In addition, in the present invention, the lower layer part with shade function is the high part of shade function, is most or all of parts of having given play to the shade function that is asked to.In addition, having the upper layer part of anti-reflective function, be formed on the lower layer part with shade function, is that the reflectivity of the lower layer part with shade function is descended, the part of performance anti-reflective function.
Should be used for making the mask base plate and the mask of FPD device in the present invention, preferred said light-proofness film is the film (constituting 2) that said face reflectivity is controlled in the wavelength coverage that becomes minimum minimum reflectance 380nm~430nm.
Its reason is; The face reflectivity becomes minimum minimum reflectance (promptly; The position of peak base) is controlled in the film of the wavelength coverage of 380nm~430nm; The displacement of the branch light curve that produces with respect to adjoint process change on direction up and down, spectral reflectance (reflectivity in each wavelength) can not produce big change, the having good uniformity of spectral reflectance (reflectivity in each wavelength).In addition; Even under the situation of creating conditions in the film forming of light-proofness film (membrance casting condition) change; Also seldom therefore cause spectral reflectance (reflectivity in each wavelength) to change, can produce mask base plate up to specification, that have good yield rate and mask.
The mask base plate and the mask that should be used for making the FPD device in the present invention; Preferred said light-proofness film is made as: the upper layer part by the lower layer part of the chromium carbide class with shade function (material type that comprises chromium and carbon) and the nitrogen chromium oxide class (material type that contains chromium and oxygen and nitrogen) with anti-reflective function constitutes, said lower layer part and upper layer part by optical design for satisfying above-mentioned condition (formation 3).
Its reason is, compares with the film of other materials class, and the film of being made up of these material types (film that for example is made up of CrC light-proofness layer (lower layer part)/CrON antireflection film (upper layer part) etc.) is through the adjustment that film is formed; To create conditions, the selected and control of manufacturing installation etc.; Thus to membranous control, the material of light-proofness film etc., the position of peak base, film formation etc. are processed the film that satisfies above-mentioned condition easily, and promptly the change width of cloth of face reflectivity is being lower than the film in 1% the scope in the wavelength band territory of i line~g line.
