Description

Method for reconstructing defect appearance of multilayer film of extreme ultraviolet lithography mask
Technical Field
The invention relates to a photoetching mask, in particular to a method for reconstructing the defect appearance of a multilayer film of an extreme ultraviolet photoetching mask.
Background
Photolithography is a critical technique for the manufacture of very large scale integrated circuits. Mask defects are one of the major problems with extreme ultraviolet (hereinafter abbreviated EUV) lithography. Multilayer film defects are defects peculiar to EUV lithography masks, and refer to deformation of multilayer films caused by projections, depressions on a substrate and particles falling during deposition, which affect both the amplitude and phase of light reflected by the multilayer films. Since the exposure wavelength of EUV lithography is very short, the reflected light can generate obvious phase change only by the multilayer film defect with nanometer-sized three-dimensional morphology, so that the reflected light can obviously affect the imaging quality of EUV lithography.
The surface morphology of the multilayer film defect can be measured by using the existing detection equipment (such as an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)), but the measurement of the surface morphology only can hardly meet the requirements of defect simulation analysis and compensation. The three-dimensional morphology of the multilayer film defects is difficult to measure directly with a non-destructive measurement mode. In order to solve the problem, researchers have proposed various methods for indirectly obtaining the three-dimensional shape of the defect of the multilayer film.
Luminescennt Technologies, inc. proposed a phase-type defect topography reconstruction method (see prior art 1.D.G.Stearns, P.B.Mirkarimi, and E.Spiller, "Localized defects in multilayer coatings," Thin Solid Films 446,37-49 (2004)); upadhhyaya et al propose a defect reconstruction method that takes into account the effect of deposition conditions on the growth model (see prior art 2.M. Upadhhyaya, v. Jindal, a. Baseplaippa, h. Herbol, j. Harrisjones, i. -y. Jang, k. A. Goldberg, i. Mochi, s. Marokkey, w. Demerle, t. V. Pistor, and g. Debeaux, "Evaluating printing reliability of deposited natural mask phase defects a modification and deposition approach," proc. Spie 9422,94220q (2015)). The methods are based on the growth model, need to consider the influence of different deposition tools and deposition conditions, and have low universality. Xu et al, the institute for Fraunhofer, germany, proposed a method for reconstructing defect morphology based on aerial images (see prior art 3.D. Xu, P. Evanschictzky, and A. Erdmann, "Extreme ultrasound multilayer defect analysis and geometry reconstruction," J.micro/nanolith. MEMS MOEMS 15,014002 (2016)). The method adopts an intensity transmission equation to recover the phase of the space image, adopts a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method to extract the characteristic value of the space image, and utilizes an artificial neural network to reconstruct defect parameters. But the height and the full width at half maximum of the bottom of the defect are set to the same value in the modeling process of the method. In practical situations, the two are generally unequal, and the method has obvious defects on the characterization of the three-dimensional shape of the defect. Chen et al propose an improved defect profile characterization method based on blank mask image, which optimizes neural network model and improves reconstruction accuracy using a circular consistency technique (see prior art 4. Wei et al propose an extreme ultraviolet phase defect characterization method based on aerial image complex amplitude, which reconstructs the aerial image complex amplitude of a defect-containing blank mask using Fourier stack imaging (FP). The relationship between the aerial image and the defect bottom topography is established by a deep learning method (see the prior art 5.W. Cheng, S. Li, X. Wang, and Z. Zhang, ". Extreme ultrasound phase defect reconstruction based on complex algorithms of the analytical images," Applied Optics 60,5208-5219 (2021)).
