Description

The online test method of the wave aberration of photo-etching machine projection objective of system error self-calibration
Technical field
The invention belongs to the optical detective technology field, be specifically related to a kind of online test method of wave aberration of photo-etching machine projection objective of system error self-calibration.
Background technology
Along with the raising of photolithography resolution, require the residual wave aberration of projection lens of lithography machine also more and more less.ASML, Canon and Nikon three major companies are when processing, integrated projection lens of lithography machine, directly utilize high precision position phase stellar interferometer (Phase Measurement Interferometer, be called for short PMI), as Twyman-Green interference instrument, Feisuo interferometer, the residual wave aberration of projection lens of lithography machine is detected.But in reality, due to the impact of the factors such as transportation, assembling, wave aberration of photo-etching machine projection objective will change and exceed residual wave aberration value, and this moment, wave aberration of photo-etching machine projection objective made a big impact to photolithography resolution.Due to the PMI complicated structure, be difficult to be integrated in litho machine, therefore, exploitation high precision, high-speed photo-etching machine objective lens wave aberration online measuring technique are very necessary.Wave aberration by each visual field of online detection projection lens of lithography machine, and utilize the sensitivity matrix computational analysis to go out the misalignment rate of corresponding each visual field wave aberration, then adjust projection lens of lithography machine, make the wave aberration measured value of projection lens of lithography machine each visual field reach the tolerance-level that PMI detects, guarantee best photolithography resolution imaging.Since 2007, three large photoetching companies have successively released the litho machine that photoetching resolution reaches 45nm, the numerical aperture of its immersion projection objective reach 1.35 and the residual wave aberration of projection objective all reach below 6m λ, this has proposed higher challenge and performance requirement to the online measuring technique of realizing wave aberration of photo-etching machine projection objective.
The online technology that detects of the wave aberration of photo-etching machine projection objective of main flow is mainly based on the detection technique of interference of light principle and based on Shack-Hartmann's wavefront sensing technology now.Wherein mainly represent that technology has ILIAS (the Integrated Lens Interferometer At Scanner) technology of ASML company and iPMI (the in-situ Phase Measurement Interferometer) technology of Canon company based on what interference of light principle detected; The ILIAS technology of ASML company is utilized the one-dimensional grating shearing interferometer, need to be at x, detect on the y both direction, and can't realize the accurate detection to astigmatism.The iPMI technology of Canon company is based on line diffraction interferometer principle, needs slit on the object space mask plate and window and accurately aims at as the window on square mask plate and slit, and this aims on the detection speed impact significantly.Based on Shack-Hartmann's wavefront sensing technology is mainly P-PMI (the Portable phase measuring interferometer) technology of Nikon company, detect the ability in sampling of wavefront because microlens array in Shack-Hartmann's technology has limited, thereby limited accuracy of detection.
