Description

Image quality compensation device and method and optical imaging system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, in particular to an image quality compensation device and method and an optical imaging system.
Background
Currently, in the field of semiconductor packaging technology, semiconductor manufacturing and package integration technology is rapidly developed, and a lithographic projection objective lens for manufacturing an integrated circuit chip is generally required to have higher resolution and image side Numerical Aperture (NA) to meet the preparation of a high-integration chip. The demand for the index of the image quality of the projection optical system is also increasing, and the optical imaging system for projection exposure needs to have good image quality compensation capability so as to meet the image quality requirement of the exposure area during chip preparation. In addition, the lithography imaging technology is continuously improved, the characteristic size (CD) of the chip is continuously reduced, and the requirement for aberration generated in the optical system is more severe. Therefore, the improvement of the image quality of the optical imaging system is a key factor for preparing a chip with good comprehensive performance.
Among the aberrations of projection lithography objectives, the asymmetric aberration is one of the most difficult aberrations to compensate for. In the design and assembly process of the objective lens, asymmetric aberration can be generated due to factors such as material uniformity of the optical lens, face shape machining tolerance, lens tilt eccentricity during assembly, selection of a rectangular field of view and the like. The projection objective has large asymmetric aberration caused by thermal deformation and thermal distortion in an exposure state, and is difficult to compensate, thereby seriously affecting the image quality and the exposure yield of the photoetching projection objective.
In the prior art, during the exposure process of a photoetching projection objective, the following image quality compensation modes are mainly adopted:
(1) the compensation thermal effect of the movable lens is selected, but the compensation capability of the movable lens for the asymmetric aberration is poor, the compensation item is limited, and the capability of compensating all aberrations cannot be met.
(2) Different surface type compensation heat effects are generated by rotating the angle of the thermal compensation group and the angle of the flat plate combination, but the processing and detection difficulty of the special lens surface type of the thermal compensation group is high, and the cost is high.
(3) The thermal resistance mechanism is added at the edge of the lens, so that the high heat conductivity is realized at the high heat position, the low heat conductivity is realized at the low heat position, the symmetrical heat distribution is realized on the surface of the lens, the symmetrical thermal deformation and the thermal refraction change are realized, the symmetrical aberration distribution is caused, and the control difficulty is high due to the large control temperature difference.
(4) The lens is provided with a lead, and the surface shape of the lens is changed by heating a resistance wire to achieve the purpose of aberration compensation. In order to not influence the image quality, the diameter of the resistance wire needs to be less than 1 micron, however, how to integrate the lead into the lens does not influence the difficulty of incident light passing; and also with greater difficulty in the controller and driver.
(5) A thin film piezoelectric unit is arranged on the reflector, and the surface type of the lens is changed in a force application mode. However, the aberration is corrected by changing the surface shape of the thin film piezoelectric unit, and a large number of cooling devices, temperature control devices, and temperature detection devices are required, which results in a complicated structure of the entire apparatus.
(6) The lens is driven to deform by external force generated by the active deformation mechanism, the surface type of the lens is changed, and heat effect compensation is realized. However, this method is limited in terms of compensatability, and has a limited electrostatic/flexible driving range and poor stability, which severely limits the compensatability range of the overlay type.
For example, US patent publication No. US20080239503, which is a method of controlling deformation of the surface of an optical unit by applying stress to the surface of the optical unit in a manner of combining hydraulic pressure and a motor, so as to achieve the effect of correcting and compensating for image quality. But the hydraulic mode of the device is difficult to realize, has high requirement on the sealing property of the device, otherwise easily pollutes optical elements, has complex integral structure and large assembly difficulty, and is not easy to adjust.

Preferably, an aperture stop 500 is disposed between the first projection objective lens group 100 and the compensation lens 230. Thus, by providing an aperture stop 500 between the first projection objective 100 and the compensation mirror 230, the compensation of the asymmetric aberrations can be better achieved by the compensation means.
Preferably, the angle control mechanism 240 rotates the compensation lens 230 by a corresponding angle through a screw rotation, a handle rotation or a screw rotation to change the surface shape of the compensation lens 230. Therefore, after the processor 220 calculates the angle adjustment amount of the compensation lens 230, the compensation lens 230 can be rotated by a corresponding angle through a screw rotation, a handle rotation or a screw rotation.
Preferably, the angle control mechanism 240 is provided with a fine adjustment mechanism and a coarse adjustment mechanism.

The angle control mechanism 240 further includes a fine adjustment screw 244, and the lens barrel 243 can be driven to rotate by rotating the fine adjustment screw 244 by a small angle, so as to fine adjust the rotation angle of the compensation lens 230.

Preferably, the compensation device further comprises at least one angle sensor (not shown), each of which is connected to the processor 220, and is used for measuring the rotation angle of the compensation lens 230. Therefore, the angle sensor can measure the rotation angle of the compensation lens 230 in real time to monitor the rotation angle of the compensation lens 230 in real time, so as to further accurately control the rotation angle of the compensation lens 230, and further accurately control the surface shape change amount of the compensation lens 230, thereby better achieving the purpose of image quality compensation.
Preferably, the compensation lens 230 may be a mirror or a lens.

Thus, aberrations caused by thermal deformation and hot edging of lenses in the lithographic projection objective in the exposure state and aberrations caused by adjustment errors of the lithographic projection objective (especially a previous lithography machine) can be compensated by adjusting the rotation angle of the mirror 231, i.e. changing the profile of the mirror 231.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, in another embodiment, the image quality compensation device includes at least two compensation lenses 230, and each of the compensation lenses 230 is a lens. As shown in fig. 4, the image quality compensation device includes a first compensation lens 232 and a second compensation lens 233, the first compensation lens 232 and the second compensation lens 233 are both disposed perpendicular to the optical axis, and a third lens 410 is disposed between the first compensation lens 232 and the second compensation lens 233.

Thus, aberrations caused by thermal deformation and hot edging of lenses in the lithographic projection objective in the exposure state and aberrations caused by setup errors of the lithographic projection objective (in particular, a previous lithography machine) can be compensated by adjusting the rotation angle of the first compensation lens 232 and/or the second compensation lens 233, i.e., changing the surface shape of the first compensation lens 232 and/or the second compensation lens 233. It should be noted that the number of the compensation lenses and the positions of the compensation lenses in the optical path may be set according to specific situations, and the present invention is not limited to this.
