The following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, however, the invention is capable of other embodiments in addition to those detailed.
For the above problems, the exposure machine manufacturers mostly use a method of advance compensation according to the relationship of focus and magnification with time caused by the thermal effect of the lens.
The method for the advance compensation comprises the following steps of rough compensation and fine compensation:
coarse compensation: exposing the wafer with the standard photoresist for 2 hours under the condition that the shutter is completely opened and the photomask is not suitable for the exposure, then cooling the lens for 2 hours, measuring the focus and the magnification drift by using an image sensor, and calculating the parameters to be compensated by a formula and recording the parameters into a system of a machine station. The rough compensation mode only selects a standard NA/Sigma (aperture and incident angle) setting for measurement, the generated parameters are recorded in the system, and the corresponding parameters are called to perform lens thermal compensation during each exposure.
Fine compensation: the lens thermal compensation parameters in this case were calculated by exposing the wafer with photoresist to a high transmittance (typically greater than 80%) mask with the shutter fully open for 2 consecutive hours at standard energy, then allowing the lens to cool for 2 hours, and then measuring the wafer. 3-5 compensation parameters of different NA/Sigma can be stored in the machine table system, and the corresponding compensation parameters are called to carry out lens thermal compensation during each exposure.
The method for storing the parameters of the machine in advance by using different NA/Sigma settings in a pre-calibration mode is a mode commonly used by most of the existing 200mm machine manufacturers and can be called as a pre-compensation method. This pre-compensation method has its limitations and is suitable for use in a manufacturing plant where the product is relatively single.
Since the transmittance and the reflectivity of the photoresist are different for different product masks, the influence of the lens thermal effect is also different, so that the method cannot perform precise compensation. For manufacturers with complex product structures, the problem of focus and power drift due to lens thermal effects is often encountered with this approach.
Therefore, the invention provides a lens thermal compensation method, as shown in fig. 1, which specifically comprises the following steps:
step S100: and comparing the information of the product to be exposed with the stored product information to determine whether the product to be exposed meets the preset condition. If yes, processing according to the existing product, and turning to the step S200; if not, processing proceeds to step S300 as a new product.
Specifically, prior to running, the EAP computer sends a product program (recipe) to the server, which compares the product program with product information stored in an internal database. Herein, "running" refers to exposing a product with an exposure machine.
Wherein the preset conditions may include: 1. the IDs of the light covers are the same; and 2. the Energy (Energy) values in the product formula differ by no more than 10%; and 3. the NA/Sigma (aperture and angle of incidence) values in the equation are the same.
The factors for determining the Energy value mainly include: exposure dose; transmittance of a mask (Reticle); setting of a shutter (REMA); setting of NA/Sigma (aperture and angle of incidence) of the lens; the reflectivity of the surface of the wafer; the number of exposure patterns (shots) for a single wafer and the number of wafers participating in the exposure. The main determining factors of the reflectivity of the wafer surface include: photoresist type, wafer thickness, substrate type and composition, etc.
Step S200: and directly calling the lens thermal compensation parameters stored in the internal database to perform exposure.
Step S300: and calculating the current lens thermal compensation parameters of the product to be exposed, and storing the calculated lens thermal compensation parameters into an internal database.
Specifically, the above steps S200 and S300 may be performed by the server calling the aligner system.
As shown in fig. 2, the lens thermal compensation parameter calculation may include the following steps:
step S310: the reflectivity correction step is performed to calculate a reflectivity correction value (Cf) for the product to be exposed. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
a. measuring the actual penetration rate of the photomask;
b. exposing by adopting standard compensation parameters of a machine;
c. calculating the quantity of exposure patterns of each wafer;
d. calculating the number of the exposed wafers;
e. calculating the actual exposure time of the lens;
f. measuring the actual reflectivity of the wafer;
g. calculating the reflectivity correction value Cf of the wafer by adopting the following formula:
Figure BDA0001454544600000061
wherein, mu1Ref、μ2RefFor reference of the compensation parameter, mu1Resist、μ2ResistIs the actual compensation parameter.
In this case, the actual transmittance of the mask can be measured by measuring the ratio of the light intensity before and after passing through the mask. For example, a transmittance gauge, as known in the art, disposed on the stage may be used to measure the actual transmittance of the reticle.
Therein, the actual reflectivity of the wafer may be measured, for example, using a reflectivity meter known in the art disposed on the stage.
Step S320: the focus offset value Δ F and the magnification offset value Δ Mg of the lens before and after exposure were measured.
Specifically, the following steps may be included:
a. measuring the intrinsic focus value F of the pre-exposure lens0And intrinsic magnification value Mg0
For example, the tool's own image sensor (Ima) may be utilized prior to wafer exposurege Sensor, IS) running a Focal test to measure the intrinsic focus value F of the lens0And intrinsic magnification value Mg0
b. The actual focus value Ft and the actual magnification value Mgt of the post-exposure lens are measured.
Illustratively, the actual focus value Ft and the actual magnification value Mgt of the lens may be measured after exposure of a plurality of consecutive (e.g., 25) wafers is completed by running a Focal test with the image sensor of the machine station itself. Specifically, the actual focus value Ft and the actual magnification value Mgt after exposure are calculated by performing simulated exposure at different heights up and down using Mark (a special Mark pattern) on IS to find the best focus plane.
c. The focus offset value Δ F and the magnification offset value Δ Mg of the lens after exposure are calculated.
In particular, the actual focus value Ft and the intrinsic focus value F of the lens can be related0Comparing to calculate a focus offset value Δ F; the actual power value Mgt and the intrinsic power value Mg of the lens can be compared0Comparison is performed to calculate the magnification shift value Δ Mg.
Step S330: and calculating the lens thermal compensation parameter of the product based on the reflectivity correction value Cf, the focus offset value delta F and the magnification offset value delta Mg.
Specifically, the lens thermal compensation parameter can be calculated according to the following formula.
Wherein the focus compensation parameter of the lens is calculated by the following formula:
F0=A1+A2=T*S*I*(μ12);
ΔF=Ft-F0=T*S*I*Cf*[μ1(1-exp(-t/τ1))+μ2(1-exp(-t/τ2))];
Ft=1*10-5*Nw*Nd*D*T*S*Cf*(μ12)/t,
wherein A1 and A2 are light amplitudes in μm or ppm; t is mask penetration (%); s is the effective area of the photomask, and the unit is cm2(ii) a I is light intensity in W/m2;μ1、μ2Is a conversion coefficient, and has the unit of μm/W or ppm/W; cf the surface reflectivity of the wafer; t is the total exposure time in seconds(s); tau is1、τ2Is a time constant in units of s; nw is the number of exposed wafers; nd is the number of exposure patterns of a single wafer; d is exposure energy in mJ/cm2
Wherein the magnification compensation parameter of the lens is calculated by the following formula:
Mg0=A1+A2=T*S*I*(μ12);
ΔMg=Ft-F0=T*S*I*Cf*[μ1(1-exp(-t/τ1))+μ2(1-exp(-t/τ2))];
Mgt=1*10-5*Nw*Nd*D*T*S*Cf*(μ12)/t,
wherein A1 and A2 are light amplitudes in μm or ppm; t is mask penetration (%); s is the effective area of the photomask, and the unit is cm2(ii) a I is light intensity in W/m2;μ1、μ2Is a conversion coefficient, and has the unit of μm/W or ppm/W; cf the surface reflectivity of the wafer; t is the total exposure time in seconds(s); tau is1、τ2Is a time constant in units of s; nw is the number of exposed wafers; nd is the number of exposure patterns of a single wafer; d is exposure energy in mJ/cm2
Wherein, mu1、μ2And τ1、τ2I.e. the compensation parameter to be measured and stored. However, long-term practical measurement and observation show that tau under different conditions1、τ2The compensating effect on the thermal effect of the lens is only slightly affected, so in this context it is possible for the server to invoke τ automatically1、τ2And the internal parameters of the machine station nearest to the incident angle and the aperture participate in compensation calculation.
