Description

Calibration method of immersion lithography machine polarization aberration detection system
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optical detection, and particularly relates to a calibration method of a polarization aberration detection system of an immersion lithography machine.
Background
The core equipment for manufacturing large scale integrated circuits is the lithography machine, the core component of which is the projection lithography objective. The promotion of the integrated circuit node prompts the Numerical Aperture (NA) of the photoetching objective to be continuously increased, when the NA is increased to a certain degree, the influence of the polarization state of the imaging light beam on the imaging quality becomes non-negligible, the polarization aberration of the projection objective needs to be accurately measured, and then the projection objective is reasonably controlled, and the imaging performance of the projection objective is improved.
Related patents (chinese patent CN103197512A) and (CN104281011A) disclose methods for obtaining polarization aberration of lithography projection system, but these methods can only detect partial information of polarization aberration of projection system, and cannot be used for measurement of polarization aberration of actual lithography projection objective. The literature (Nomura, h., and Higashikawa, i., "Mueller matrix polarization for imaging polarization systems at the wafer plane," proc.spie 7520,752012, (2009)) proposes the online measurement of projection objective polarization aberrations with a Mueller matrix polarizer, which consists of a polarization mask, a collimator, a quarter-wave plate, a polarization beam splitter prism and a CCD, wherein the polarization mask as polarization state generator PSG consists of a four-piece polarizer and a four-piece wide-angle quarter-wave plate together, and the polarizer is preceded and followed; the collimator couples the pupil of the projection objective to the CCD photosensitive surface and collimates the high NA imaging light beam into a parallel light beam; the quarter-wave plate and the polarization beam splitter prism form a polarization state analyzer PSA, which analyzes the Stokes parameters of the parallel beams behind the collimator lens by a Fourier analysis method. In the measurement process, the PSG generates 16 incident beams with known polarization states in total, the Stokes parameters of each incident beam after the incident beam exits from the collimator are measured by the PSA and the CCD camera, and the Mueller matrix of the projection objective can be obtained by performing mathematical operation on the incident and exiting Stokes parameters.
However, the calibration of the instrument is not considered in the measurement method, and the measured mueller matrix includes the influence of the collimating mirror, so that at present, no mature and feasible method is available for calibrating the collimating mirror.
