Embodiment 1
1, the hybrid detection system that Fig. 1 is exposure method and scanning method combines, by LASER Light Source 2-1, beam-expanding collimation system 2-2, sub-wavelength photon screen 2-3, have been coated with the silicon chip 2-4 of photoresist, vacuum pump 2-5, work stage 2-6, computer control system 2-7 form.nullThe light that LASER Light Source 2-1 sends becomes uniform after beam-expanding collimation system 2-2 processes、The directional light of collimation,Directional light forms tiny hot spot after sub-wavelength photon screen 2-3 focuses on focal plane,The silicon chip 2-4 having coated photoresist is placed on focal plane place,Silicon chip 2-4 is adsorbed by vacuum pump 2-5,Relative position between sub-wavelength photon screen 2-3 and silicon chip 2-4 is accurately controlled by work stage 2-6,The direction of motion of work stage 2-6 and step value are configured by the software of computer control system 2-7,Silicon chip 2-4 after exposure can obtain hot spot after development,Spot diameter is the actual measurement resolving power of sub-wavelength photon screen,Its size and Energy distribution can carry secondary development function measurement and the display of software by atomic force microscope,When hot spot obtains minima,The corresponding distance between sub-wavelength photon screen 2-3 and silicon chip 2-4 is actual measurement focal length.
Wherein, the wavelength of LASER Light Source is necessarily equal to incident light source wavelength when photon screen designs;Work stage 2-6 is collectively constituted by two-dimensional workpiece platform and the piezoelectric ceramics of PI Corp., and two-dimensional workpiece platform is used for coarse adjustment, and piezoelectric ceramics is used for accurate adjustment, and the stepping accuracy of piezoelectric ceramics is 5nm;The direction of motion of work stage 2-6 and step value are configured by the software of computer control system 2-7, and wherein X-direction controls the stepping of focal length, and Y-direction controls the movement of focal beam spot.
2, the detection process of sub-wavelength photon screen focusing performance detection method is as follows: consider the processing technology error of sub-wavelength photon screen, X-direction is optional less than designing focal length certain numerical value a as initial exposure distance, i.e. (X-a) μm, the initial value of Y-direction does not have ad hoc rule, only represent first exposure spot position in silicon chip, complete single exposure process.Then Y-direction stepping Δ y is (for better discriminating between the interval of two hot spots, can step value Δ y be taken larger), X-direction being increased a step value Δ x, namely exposure distance becomes (X-a+ Δ x) μm, completes the exposure process of second hot spot simultaneously.It is sequentially carried out down, until exposure distance is more than design focal length certain numerical value a, i.e. (X+a) μm.With developer solution, the silicon chip after exposure is developed, near focal plane, obtain the hot spot that a series of diameter after sub-wavelength photon screen focuses on are different, the X that minimum light spot is corresponding is focal length, and namely minimum light spot size and Energy distribution carry secondary development function measurement and the display of software by atomic force microscope.
About the value of a, value can be carried out according to actual needs, generally take design focal length ± 20% scope, for instance design focal length is 150 μm, and taking a is 30 μm, then initial exposure distance is chosen as 120 μm, and termination exposure distance is chosen as 180 μm.
About the value of Δ x, can carrying out value according to actual needs, from desirable focal plane place farther out, the suggestion span of Δ x is (1-2) μm;When desirable focal plane, suggestion span (50-200) nm of Δ x;Because the depth of focus of photon screen is shorter, during such as close focal plane, Δ x is taken greatly, be just likely to miss optimal focal plane.
