Description

A kind of sound absorber for lithographic equipment
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of integrated circuit equipment manufacturing field, more particularly to a kind of sound absorption for lithographic equipment to fill Put.
Background technology
Lithographic equipment is a kind of machine being applied to required pattern on substrate.For example, lithographic equipment can be used in collection Into in circuit (IC) manufacture.In such a case, it is possible to the alternatively referred to as pattern shape of mask or mask (reticle) It is used for the circuit pattern for generating the individual layer corresponding to the IC into device.The pattern can be imaged onto to substrate (for example, silicon wafer Piece) on target part (e.g., including a part of tube core, one or more tube cores) on.Pattern imaging be by pattern into As what is carried out to offer to radiation-sensitive materials (resist) layer on substrate.Generally, single substrate will include continuous The network of the adjacent target portions of exposure.Conventional lithographic equipment includes:So-called stepper, in the stepper, pass through by Whole patterns are exposed on the target part to radiate each target part successively;And so-called scanning machine:Swept described Retouch in machine, the pattern is scanned along assigned direction (" scanning " direction) by radiation beam while edge is parallel or reverse with the direction Substrate described in parallel scanning direction radiates each target part.May also be by the way that imprint patterns (imprinting) be arrived The mode of substrate is formed pattern onto substrate from patterning device.
High accuracy and high-resolution need phase between each part of lithographic equipment as the target that photoetching technique currently aims at Mutually it is accurately positioned, such as keeps reticle stage, optical projection system and the substrate for keeping substrate of patterning device (such as mask) Platform.In addition to the positioning of such as reticle stage and substrate table, optical projection system also faces this needs.Projection in current device System includes bearing structure, such as lens mounting (situation of transmitted light) or mirror frame (situation of reflected light), and including Multiple optical elements, such as lens element, speculum etc..
Generally in Optical Coatings for Photolithography, because structural vibration will cause the short-term errors of image, simultaneously because kinetic system System(Such as micropositioner, speculum)MA (Moving Average) and MSD (Moving Standard Deviation) watch Taking site error causes pattern distortion.Complete machine dynamic property is reduced and controlled, error is reduced to a relatively low level.Noise Load(Acoustics Load)The pressure for being defined as air changes with time and acts on the Inner-worlds such as object lens and main substrate On effect.Show according in litho machine in the test of client, the sound and noise pair propagated under clean air ambient The ratio that the disturbance of Inner-world accounts for total vibration interference is about 40%, as shown in Figure 1.Its litho machine noise experimental test value model It is trapped among 75-90dB or so.Fig. 2 is Clean room environment acoustic pressure-time graph schematic diagram.
In litho machine, noise can have an impact to litho machine Inner-world, such as object lens, objective lenses, interferometer, main base Plate.Main sound source has ambient noise, electrical noise, mask platform & work stage motion artifacts.In as disclosed in US20090195760 Shown in appearance, exemplified by moving the stage noise, sports platform has three kinds of noises, first, rigid motion noise, is drawn by rigid motion acceleration Rise, frequency is far below 150Hz, and overlay may be had an impact;Second, structural vibration noise, frequency is higher than 150Hz, can Overlay and fading can be had an impact;Third, aerodynamic noise caused by air drag, frequency is higher than 500Hz.
In order to solve noise problem, resonator has been provided in the prior art(Or acoustic resonator)Technology.Single resonator It can regard as and be made up of the different acoustic element of several acoustics effect.Air vibrates with sound wave in open tube and near the mouth of pipe, is One acoustic mass element, the pressure in cavity change with air, are an acoustic compliance elements.And the air in cavity is to a certain degree It is interior to be vibrated with sound wave, it may have certain acoustic mass.For air in the vibration friction of opening wall, its acoustics effect is sound Resistance.When incident acoustic wave frequency close to resonator intrinsic frequency when, the air column of pore-throat produces judder, in vibration processes In, due to overcome frictional resistance and sound energy consumption.Conversely, when incident acoustic wave frequency is away from resonator intrinsic frequency, resonator Vibration is very weak, therefore sound absorption effect very little, it is seen that resonator acoustic absorptivity varies with frequency, and highest acoustic absorptivity appears in At resonant frequency.
As used above-mentioned acoustic resonator principle in patent US20090161085, three kinds of acoustic resonator are devised.Feature has for the mouth of pipe Multiple different volumes, sound absorption frequency can be extended, cavity volume is adjusted by active device, can dynamically adjust acoustic resonator sound absorption Frequency.
Used another noise reduction mode is exactly Active Noise Control technology in the prior art.In general, traditional noise Control method is more effective to control high-frequency noises, and little to the control effect of low-frequency noise, if to accomplish well Control, even will may not costly.Reason is to be related to that wavelength is very long, if with Passive Shape Control, sound-absorbing material is very thick, Silencer is very big, elastomeric material(For vibration isolation)It is very soft, it is very thick.Early in the 1930s, just having sprouted Active control Concept, due to the limitation of electronic equipment and control theory, this system can not also be promoted.Nearly 30 years, active noise and control It is that Active control is possibly realized as acoustics, particularly Noise measarement theoretical developments.Its principle is mainly sent instead with transducer Phase noise is to offset original noise, and so as to reach the purpose of noise reduction, control noise is then electronically from former noisy Obtained in measurement, that's what it all adds up to.This simple concept used for more than halfth century, and also to keep punching to realize.Active control It is only applicable to low frequency(500 below Hz), high frequency space phase change greatly, be just not easily controlled.Active noise control is profit Noise is sent with one or more secondary noise sources to suppress original noise.Secondary noise source uses electronic circuit and loudspeaker, Its noise power sent must be more than the noise power of original noise source, could realize control.
As devised polytype active silencer in patent US20090195763(Feed forward type), for reducing noise Influence to Optical Coatings for Photolithography.Sound wave is produced because workpiece platform mask platform moves, air-flow and other disturbances, may be to projection System has an impact, by arranging a series of loudspeakers, to reduce these influences of the disturbance to equipment.Detected by sensor SE and be Noise in system gas bath pipeline, by control system CON drive the speaker ACT, secondary noise is produced, offsets former noise, reduced Influenceed caused by gas bath noise.Multiple sensors and multiple loudspeakers are controlled by a control system, reduce noise to object lens Influence.The external structures such as basic framework meeting radiated noise under excitation, active countersound system are arranged in motherboard and nearby absorbed Noise, to reduce influence of the noise to motherboard.By being disposed about microphone in horizontal calibrator PSE, by control system, Influence of the noise to measuring instrument can be reduced., can by control system by being disposed about microphone in vertical calibration STA To reduce influence of the noise to measuring instrument.
Another used noise reduction mode is exactly sound absorption technique in the prior art.Sound wave is by medium or incides medium The reduction process of acoustic energy when on interface, referred to as absorb sound or absorb.When medium interface is material(Structure)During surface, part sound It can be absorbed, referred to as absorbed sound.Any material(Structure)Due to its porous, membrane action or resonant interaction, to incident acoustic energy More or less there is acoustical absorptivity.
As shown in patent US20090195760, acoustic board 13,14,15,16 is placed on around mask stage and object lens.Specially Sharp CN102332259, it adjusts the pore size of piezoelectricity membrane structure by the piezo-electric effect of piezoelectric membrane, so as to reach regulation The purpose of sound absorbing capabilities;Patent CN102646414, disclose a kind of combination sound absorption based on microperforated panel and intracavitary resonator system Device, the bandwidth of sound absorption frequency is adjusted by adjusting aperture and the cavity depth of microperforated panel.Patent CN102044239 passes through The adjusting method of spring or elastomeric material adjusts cavity depth, so as to changing the sound absorbing capabilities of microperforated panel.

According to microperforated panel sound absorption correlation theory, it is the combination of He Muhuozhi resonators, therefore can be regarded as by matter One resonator system of amount and spring composition.When the frequency of incident acoustic wave and the consistent resonant frequency of system, perforated plate neck Air produces fierce vibration friction, strengthens sink effect, forms absworption peak, acoustic energy is significantly decayed.Perforated plate is total to Vibration frequency can calculate according to the following formula:
In above formula, L --- air layer thickness after plate;The thickness of t --- plate;D --- aperture;C --- the velocity of sound;P --- wear Porosity.
The theoretical absorbability that can draw its noise to different frequency is different more than, and Fig. 5 is typical micropunch The acoustic absorptivity of plate with frequency change schematic diagram, it can be seen that it has two features, first, its maximum sound absorption Ability reaches maximum at resonance, and second, the frequency bandwidth that it absorbs sound is bigger, generally more than 1kHz.
Fig. 3, Fig. 4 are to survey noise frequency-domain result to a Clean room, it can be seen that in 580Hz or so and 100Hz or so Contributed with larger noise energy.Therefore carrying out noise reduction to litho machine using microperforated panel structure has extraordinary effect. After the design of in general microperforated panel mounting interface finishes, its sound absorbing capabilities is also just basic to be determined, but when noise circumstance changes When, its acoustically effective will be greatly affected.Fig. 6 is one embodiment of the present of invention, and it is by arc microperforated panel 2 and multiple Adjustment structure 1 forms.Micropunch adjusting means connecting rod is connected with microperforated panel by socket arrangement.Adjusting rod and micropunch Connected mode is ball-joint mode, adjusts the length of connecting rod so that connecting rod position moves up and down, while connecting rod moves up and down While, the socket arrangement in microperforated panel along rod slide, will realize the regulation of angle, so as to change microperforated panel Cavity depth after angle and plate, noise vertical radiation and microperforated panel to greatest extent make it that on the premise of resonant frequency is ensured On, reach optimal acoustically effective.Its advantages of, is, when noise circumstance changes, only can reach by adjusting adjusting means Optimal acoustically effective, without changing other fixed mechanisms and interface.Fig. 7 is the embodiment of three support meanss of the present invention.
Fig. 8 is the of the invention and comparison diagram of traditional microperforated absorber, passes through the angle adjustment mechanism of the present invention so that Arc microperforated panel vertically absorbs the noise of sound source radiation to greatest extent, and Fig. 9 is the acoustically effective comparison diagram of two kinds of structures, can To find out, by angle regulator, acoustic absorptivity and wide band sound absorption ratio traditional structure can be caused to increase, had obvious Advantage.
