Description

Optical system in lithographic device
Technical field
The present invention relates to the optical system for photolithography.
Background technology
Photolithography is generally applied to the manufacture of high performance 1/10th micron-scale resolution integrated circuit.
But some application does not but need the precision of the above-mentioned type, 1 only need be satisfied with to several micron-sized lithography sharpness.It is emphasized that employing photolithography, for the welding of the multilayer circuit in the manufacture of carrying out interconnected contact and the circuit board overlapped each other.The superiority of foregoing circuit is, electronic wafer can be used to design and utilize the overlap of multiple single wafer, therefore, each wafer is easy to Design and manufacture.
The technology applied for the manufacture of aforementioned contact is illustrated by Figure 1A and 1B.In known First Series step, because the light 7 utilizing the light-emitting device coming from lithoprinting equipment to send throws light on, therefore, usual linear magnification is used for large perform region, and one deck resin bed 2 is positioned on circuit board 1 (or the technical term of prior art librarian use is referred to as " wafer " usually).Illumination is carried out by means of only some region of mask, is hollowed out by the resin of special process by region 3, so that filling is suitable for the material forming solder joint.In general, this relates to gold (people are referred to as " au bump ").Equally, in another series of steps known, the circuit shown in Figure 1B and circuit board 1 can be obtained, it be furnished with similar in spherical solder joint 6.
Usually, two solder joints 6 distance 4 of separating is general between 50 to 500 μm.Therefore, the lithoprinting equipment used, implements and does not need very high precision, and the lithoprinting equipment at contrast current techniques tip, does not also have high definition, note that it can is the sharpness of 1/10th μm of levels.All up to standard for the sharpness of above-mentioned application 2 μm of levels and the distortion of maximum 0.3 μm.
The thickness of resin bed 2 is at about 5 to 100 μm.Therefore, this equipment should have the large depth areas of 50 μm to 100 μm.
Finally, such integrated circuit should be the product that the industrial system with optimum productivity manufactures.Therefore, this equipment should have a region large as far as possible, for illuminating the area large as far as possible of plate large as far as possible within preset time and/or given plate.Described equipment also should be able to be suitable for polytype for industrial high power illuminating lamp, especially for the frequency spectrum ray g of high-pressure mercury-vapor lamp that can use the undissolved maximum necessary luminous flux of photosensitive resin, h and i.
In addition, compared with the optics that object space and image space are the hearts far away, extremely desirable when optical lithography, advocate as prior art personnel, that is, effective cone-shaped beam well perpendicular to object plane and image planes, when carrying out each step of lithography process, cover the deviation of the location, face, unfavorable image side of portraying, so that system does not change the deviation of focusing.
The description of the object of the invention and prior art
The present invention seeks to the optical texture proposing a kind of lithography:
-a kind of single magnification (copying 1/1) is described,
-be particularly suitable for general sharpness to require (1 to several micron order),
-can run at the important area of the heart far away of object space and image space,
-particularly there is multiple compact nature simultaneously, price is not expensive and performance good (especially can run under ray at the g of mercury vapor lamp, i and h).
We have understood a large amount of for such photolithographic optical texture being designed and having developed.
Fig. 2 describes the first embodiment of this equipment of the present invention, and " DysonWinne " type structure is shown.Described equipment comprises the center of curvature carrys out reference concave spherical mirror 10 by C.Mirror 10 reflects the light of selfluminous device (not shown), through mask M in order to such as, to being used for some part reflection of the plate W forming required image, solder joint.If M and W is positioned on the center of curvature C of mirror, the picture of the M on W will be desirable optical image, but M and W can not obscure, and thus described equipment is inoperative.Though because mask M and plate W is not but positioned at completely on the center of curvature C of sphere concave mirror in same plane, as shown in Figure 3, deviation is slightly had all respectively in optical axial upper and lower, therefore, equipment comprises the lens 11 and 12 of the curved surface with mirror 10, for correcting the aberration of generation.But the equipment shown in Fig. 2 has defect, and especially M and W is positioned at same plane, this is just difficult to make equipment carry out correlation displacement when throwing light on by actuator.In addition, for throwing light on and the size of industrializing implementation dual-purpose, equipment region 7 width is too little.Because M and W should be positioned at the center of curvature and the correcting lens 11 and 12 of mirror 10 by convergence, be convenient to force to limit the determined value of Dyson-Wynne type equipment performance in the effective coverage of circular optical parts, this just causes the limitation of existing equipment.
Fig. 4 illustrates the second embodiment of known device.Have and the on all four optical texture addressed above, a sphere concave mirror 10 and concentric lens 11 and 12.But, lens 11 and 12 comprise two reflectings surface 20 and 22 (prior art personnel are also called " closing up prism "), so that light runs through mask M, and, in order to illuminate the light from mirror (10) of plate all no longer through the center of curvature and the lens 11 and 12 of mirror 10, but will be overlapping.Closing up of such light allows M and W no longer may be placed in same plane.Therefore, can W be moved at horizontal plane and move M at clinoplane.The surface level comprising W and the clinoplane comprising M all and the effective cone of rays propagated between sphere concave mirror 10 and 11,12 groups, lens tangent, to reduce region, thus cause lens 11 and 12 to correct.Lens 11 and 12 are all concentric with mirror 10, in fact, must reduce the angle that light all incides the region of mirror 10 and lens 11,12.But, the equipment shown in Fig. 4 or existing defects.In fact, M is positioned at clinoplane, so, will encounter difficulties at its installation, maintenance and Mechanical Moving.In addition, the peak width of equipment in order to allow illumination to have a compatible size of commercial Application plate still too little because M and W leans on too near each other, also lean on too near with center of curvature C.Equipment shown in Fig. 4, only to correct small distortion, astigmatism or distortion by lens 11 and 12, because light should keep vertical incidence as far as possible on the surface of mirror 10 and lens 11,12, this is because people wish that equipment keeps concentric as far as possible relative to mirror center C.
According to document US6.424.471, also understand a kind of projection optics structure comprising lens and separator volume.
Meet the magnification of 1/4 except this structure and be applicable to except submicroscopic application, people also will propose their floor areas especially and adopt a kind of polarization separator volume to reduce aberration, and this just makes complex structure and improves production cost.
In addition, by document US6.556.278, people understand the different schemes of the lithographic optics aspect of single magnification.The scheme mentioned in the document does not possess gratifying compactedness, and on the contrary, the document is advocated and used little complete optical device to obtain large operation area.
The optical plan of another kind of single magnification is suggested in document US2003/0223127.But the concave mirror in the scheme proposed in the document is not the structure using " DysonWinne " type, but a kind of structure of reflecting surface mirror.The problem of the document is not considered " DysonWinne " type structure aberration, does not allow said structure no longer compact certainly.
Summary of the invention
