Summary of the invention
In order to solve the aforementioned problems in the prior; The invention provides a kind of work stage and mask platform and measure the control method of light path parallel; May further comprise the steps: at first; After work stage laser interferometer light path being regulated through the work stage wafer-supporting platform, regulate the prism module, make the light that the work stage laser interferometer penetrates the first before inciding the prism module light path with penetrate through the prism module after the light path parallel of third part; The light path of the third part after the prism module penetrates directly shines mask platform and holds on the catoptron of bed, assembles pick-up unit this moment, makes the illumination of holding the mirror reflects of bed through mask platform be mapped on the pick-up unit; Promote mask platform and hold bed, make mask platform hold bed and pass through the guide rail slide block, detect the fluctuation of hot spot formed thereon simultaneously through pick-up unit along guide rail movement; Regulate the direction of motion that mask platform is held bed, make that the amplitude of the hot spot fluctuation that forms on the pick-up unit is minimum; Disassemble pick-up unit and prism module, semi-transparent semi-reflecting prism and pick-up unit are installed in mask platform hold on the bed light path; Promote mask platform and hold bed, detect the fluctuation of hot spot formed thereon through pick-up unit; Regulate mask platform laser interferometer light path, make that the amplitude of the hot spot fluctuation that on pick-up unit, forms is minimum.
Wherein, pick-up unit can be a detection lug, also can be the CCD receiver.
According to technical scheme of the present invention, utilize the method for optical principle and the mutual reference of benchmark, through simple adjusting light path, realized the accurate location of work stage and mask platform laser measurement light path.
Embodiment
Below, describe in detail according to a preferred embodiment of the invention in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Referring to figs. 1 through Fig. 3, after the light path of work stage laser interferometer 105b being regulated earlier, regulate prism module 102 through work stage wafer-supporting platform 104, make that the first light path L1 of the light that work stage laser interferometer 105b penetrates is parallel with the second light path L3.
The light path of adjusting directly shines mask platform and holds on the catoptron of bed 101, and install detection lug 106 this moment, makes the illumination of holding bed 101 reflections through mask platform be mapped on the detection lug 106.
Promote mask platform and hold bed 101, on guide rail 201, move, make mask platform hold bed 101 and move along guide rail 201 through guide rail slide block 202.Shine mask platform like this and hold the just fluctuation on detection lug 106 of light path on the bed 101, this explanation mask platform is held bed 101 travel directions and laser interferometer light path and not parallel.The amplitude of hot spot fluctuation is big more on detection lug 106, and mask platform is held bed 101 travel directions and laser, and to relate to the depth of parallelism of appearance light path poor more.
Then regulate mask platform and hold the direction of motion of bed 101, the hot spot fluctuating range that makes laser facula on detection lug 106, form is minimum.It is parallel with the work stage laser optical path that this shows that mask platform is held the direction of motion of bed 101.
Dismantle then detection lug 106 and prism module 102 are installed in mask platform with detection lug 106 and semi-transparent semi-reflecting prism 301 and hold on the bed light path.
Promote mask platform and hold bed 101, and observe the hot spot fluctuation situation on the detection lug 106.
Regulate mask platform laser interferometer light path, the hot spot fluctuating range that makes laser facula on detection lug 106, form is minimum.It is parallel with the work stage laser optical path that this shows that mask platform is held the direction of motion of bed 101.
In addition, reference path can be regulated the position of the reference mirror on the projection lens 103 with said method on the mask platform.
Dismantle detection lug 106 and semi-transparent semi-reflecting prism 301, the mask platform laser optical path is adjusted, and this moment, the laser optical path of mask platform laser optical path and work stage was parallel.
Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show the work stage of another preferred embodiment according to the present invention and the control method that mask platform is measured light path parallel.The difference of itself and embodiment shown in Figure 13 only is detection lug 106 usefulness CCD receivers 302 are replaced, to obtain higher resolution.For the sake of brevity, this embodiment is repeated no more.
It may be noted that before implementing according to the method for the invention, work stage laser interferometer light path need be regulated and finished, mask platform kinematic axis guide rail 201 and 202 needs in proper working order, and prism module 102 needs calibration to finish.
According to the method for the invention, its precision budget is following:
Work stage and mask platform laser optical path degree of regulation are θ=θ 1+ θ 2+ θ 3, and θ 1 is the degree of regulation of mask platform guide rail and work stage light path, and θ 2 is degrees of regulation of mask platform guide rail and mask platform light path, and θ 3 is precision of mask platform air-float guide rail.
The degree of regulation θ 1 of mask platform guide rail and work stage light path: whole optical path length is L1+L2+L3, the stroke Δ L of mask platform guide rail.Laser facula is at the minimal ripple Δ e of detection lug, and Δ e is the distance of the hot spot fluctuation that can discern of naked eyes.Following algorithm is arranged:
θ1=Δe/[2(L1+L2+L3+ΔL)]
Work stage is 1500mm to the length of mask platform light path, and the stroke of mask platform is 500mm, and Δ e is 0.2mm, and then θ 1 is 50 microradians.
The degree of regulation θ 2 of mask platform guide rail and mask platform light path:
θ2=Δe/[2(L0+ΔL)]
Wherein L0 is 300mm, and then θ 2 is 125 differential of the arcs.
The precision of mask platform air-float guide rail can accomplish to be in 5 differential of the arcs.So a whole set of light path degree of regulation is 180 differential of the arcs.
The present invention has the following advantages: 1) disposable can the depth of parallelism of the laser measurement light path of work stage and mask platform being adjusted within the index; 2) kinematic axis and the measurement axis of work stage and mask platform are mated; 3) after the integrated completion of complete machine, also can use this frock; 4) simple and convenient.
Described in this instructions is preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, and above embodiment is only in order to explain technical scheme of the present invention but not limitation of the present invention.All those skilled in the art are under this invention's idea through the available technical scheme of logical analysis, reasoning, or a limited experiment, all should be within like the scope of the present invention that claim defined.
