Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Schichtmaterial für optische Informationsträger und Lichtmasken sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung des Schichtmaterials. The present invention relates to a layer material for optical information carriers and Light masks and a method for producing the layer material.
Lichtmasken zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass sie aus lichtdurchlässigen und lichtundurchlässigen Bereichen bestehen. Damit kann ein gewünschtes Muster, z. B. von Leiterbahnen gebildet werden. Lichtmasken werden in der Mikroelektronik-Industrie zur Erzeugung der Schaltkreisstrukturen bei integrierten elektronischen Bauelementen im Prozeß der Photolithographie eingesetzt. Andere Anwendungen von Lichtmasken dienen zur Erzeugung von Interferenzmustern, als Lichtteiler oder Monochromatoren. Light masks are characterized by the fact that they consist of translucent and opaque Areas exist. So that a desired pattern, e.g. B. are formed by conductor tracks. Light masks are used in the microelectronics industry to create the circuit structures integrated electronic components used in the process of photolithography. Other Applications of light masks are used to generate interference patterns, as light splitters or Monochromators.
Optische Informationsträger können analog einer Lichtmaske aus einem lichtdurchlässigen Substrat und einer Schicht mit lokal veränderlicher Absorption aufgebaut sein. Die Information wird in Form ein schwarzweißen Pixelmusters gespeichert. Like a light mask, optical information carriers can be made of a translucent Substrate and a layer with locally variable absorption can be constructed. The information a black and white pixel pattern is saved.
Masken für die Fotolithografie in der Mikroelektronikindustrie werden üblicherweise durch Elektronenstrahlbelichtung eines Resistfilmes erzeugt, der sich auf einer Metallschicht auf einem Quarzglassubstrat befindet (B. H. Koek, T. Chrisholm, A. J. v. Run, J. Romijn and J. P. Davey, Microelectronic Engineering 23 (1994) 81). Danach werden entweder die belichteten Gebiete (Positivlack) oder die nicht belichteten Gebiete (Negativlack) durch Ätzen entfernt. Dieses Verfahren erlaubt Strukturübertragungen im Bereich einiger zehn bis 100 Nanometer, ist aber sehr aufwändig. Masks for photolithography in the microelectronics industry are usually made by Electron beam exposure of a resist film is generated, which is on a metal layer on a Quartz glass substrate (B. H. Koek, T. Chrisholm, A. J. v. Run, J. Romijn and J. P. Davey, Microelectronic Engineering 23 (1994) 81). After that, either the exposed areas (Positive varnish) or the unexposed areas (negative varnish) removed by etching. This The method allows structural transfers in the range of a few tens to 100 nanometers, but is very consuming.
Das photographische Verfahren nutzt die Erzeugung eines latenten Bildes durch die fotochemische Zersetzung von Silberhalogenid (AgX)-Kristallen (Durchmesser 0.1 . . . 1.5 µm) eingebettet in eine Emulsion. In einem folgenden nasschemischen Schritt (Entwicklung) werden die belichteten Silberhalogenidkörner zu metallischen Silber reduziert und in einem letzen Schritt (Fixierung) wird das unbelichtete AgX herausgelöst. Die Auflösung dieses Verfahrens wird von der Größe der AgX- Körner sowie deren Verteilung in der Emulsion bestimmt und erreicht wenige µm (H. Böttcher und J. Epperlein, Moderne photographische Systeme, Leipzig: Dt. Verl. für Grundstoffind., 1988). The photographic process uses the generation of a latent image by the photochemical one Decomposition of silver halide (AgX) crystals (diameter 0.1 ... 1.5 µm) embedded in an emulsion. In a subsequent wet chemical step (development), the exposed Silver halide grains are reduced to metallic silver and in a final step (fixation) the unexposed AgX released. The resolution of this process depends on the size of the AgX Grains and their distribution in the emulsion determine and reach a few µm (H. Böttcher and J. Epperlein, Moderne photographische Systeme, Leipzig: Dt. Verl. Für Grundstoffind., 1988).
Nachteilig ist hier die begrenzte laterale Auflösung sowie die umfangreiche chemische Technologie zur Darstellung der Abbildung. The disadvantage here is the limited lateral resolution and the extensive chemical Technology to display the image.
Ein weiteres Verfahren besteht in der Nutzung des Phasenübergangs "kristallin-amorph", der durch Ionenbestrahlung hervorgerufen wird (DE 35 24 184 C2). Es wird ein optisch lesbarer Aufzeichnungsträger beschrieben, der eine dünne Speicherschicht aus kristallinem Silicium (Si) enthält. Die Information wird dadurch gespeichert, dass das kristalline Si in bestimmten Bereichen dieser Schicht in die amorphe Phase umgewandelt wird. Beim Lesen wird ausgenutzt, dass sich kristallines und amorphes Si in bestimmten Spektralbereichen hinsichtlich ihres Reflexions- und Absorptionskoeffizienten unterscheiden. Das Speichern erfolgt vorzugsweise mittels eines fein fokussierten Ionenstrahls. In analoger Weise kann die kristallin-amorphe Phasenumwandlung von SiC genutzt werden (S. Kalbitzer, Appl. Phys A 71 (2000) 565-569). Das Abscheiden des SiC erfordert erheblichen Aufwand, außerdem ist eine transparente Unterlage notwendig. Another method is to use the "crystalline-amorphous" phase transition is caused by ion irradiation (DE 35 24 184 C2). It becomes an optically readable Recording medium described which has a thin storage layer made of crystalline silicon (Si) contains. The information is stored in that the crystalline Si in certain areas this layer is converted into the amorphous phase. Reading takes advantage of that crystalline and amorphous Si in certain spectral ranges with regard to their reflection and Differentiate absorption coefficients. The storage is preferably carried out using a fine focused ion beam. The crystalline-amorphous phase transformation of SiC can be used (S. Kalbitzer, Appl. Phys A 71 (2000) 565-569). The deposition of the SiC requires considerable effort, a transparent base is also necessary.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein neues Schichtmaterial für optische Informationsträger und Lichtmasken sowie ähnlich gelagerte Anwendungen vorzuschlagen. Außerdem wird ein einfaches Verfahren zur lokalen Veränderung der optischen Absorption in diesem Schichtmaterial angegeben, mit dem Strukturgrößen erreichbar sind, wie sie die fortgeschrittene Halbleiterindustrie fordert. The invention has for its object a new layer material for optical To propose information carriers and light masks as well as similar applications. In addition, a simple method for locally changing the optical absorption in this layer material specified with which structure sizes can be achieved, as they are the advanced Semiconductor industry demands.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe mit den in den Patentansprüchen dargelegten Merkmalen gelöst. According to the invention the object with the features set out in the claims solved.
Gegenüber der Fotografie, die auf der chemischen Reaktion von metallorganischen Verbindungen beruht, wird hier Metall in der Schicht in atomarer Form genutzt, d. h. es gibt keine physikalische Auflösungsbegrenzung. Die chemische Reaktion findet direkt bei der Implantation statt, wodurch chemische Folgeprozesse entfallen, wie sie z. B. bei der Fotolithografie unbedingt nötig sind. Das Metall wird nur dort eingebaut, wo es gebraucht wird. Compared to photography based on the chemical reaction of organometallic compounds metal in the layer is used in atomic form, i. H. there is no physical Resolution limit. The chemical reaction takes place directly during implantation, which means chemical follow-up processes are omitted, as z. B. are absolutely necessary in photolithography. The Metal is only installed where it is needed.
Die Nutzung von kristallinem Si oder SiC usw. erfordert ein geeignetes Substrat wie Saphir, um kristalline Schichten aufwachsen lassen zu können. Im Fall von amorphen SiC kann ein beliebiges Substrat, z. B. Glas, aber auch ein Substrat mit einer Reflexionsschicht genutzt werden, so dass neben der Transmission des Lichtes entsprechend auch Reflexionsmasken oder Datenträger möglich sind. Letztere sind insbesondere für die Nutzung von kurzwelligem Licht von Bedeutung. The use of crystalline Si or SiC etc. requires a suitable substrate such as sapphire to be able to grow crystalline layers. In the case of amorphous SiC, any Substrate, e.g. B. glass, but also a substrate with a reflective layer, so that in addition to the transmission of light, there are also reflection masks or data carriers possible are. The latter are particularly important for the use of short-wave light.
Das Aufbringen der amorphen Schicht kann mittels Sputtern, CVD, Bogenentladung oder ähnlichen Prozessen erfolgen. Das Beschreiben der amorphen Schicht kann vorteilhafterweise mit dem fokussierten Ionenstrahl erfolgen (vergleichbar hohe Auflösung wie der Elektronenstrahl), der mit reinen Flüssigmetallionenquellen (In, Ga) oder mit Legierungsquellen (AuGe) arbeitet. Weitere wichtige Vorteile sind die thermische Stabilität der Struktur (keine Ausheilerscheinungen), die chemische Resistenz, sowie die hohe Stabilität gegen Bestrahlung des amorphen Zustandes. Durch Variation der Dosis kann ein graduierter Absorptionskoeffizient der Schicht eingestellt werden. The amorphous layer can be applied by means of sputtering, CVD, arc discharge or similar processes take place. The description of the amorphous layer can advantageously with the focused ion beam (comparable high resolution as the electron beam) with pure liquid metal ion sources (In, Ga) or with alloy sources (AuGe). Further important advantages are the thermal stability of the structure (no healing effects) chemical resistance, as well as the high stability against radiation of the amorphous state. By A graded absorption coefficient of the layer can be set by varying the dose.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend an je einem Ausführungsbeispiel für das Schichtmaterial und das Verfahren zu seiner Herstellung näher beschrieben. The invention is based on an embodiment of the layer material and the Process for its preparation described in more detail.
Für das Schichtmaterial:
Das Schichtmaterial befindet sich auf einem lichtdurchlässigem Substrat. Das Schichtmaterial
selbst besteht aus einem amorphen, hydroxierten Siliciumkarbid der Form a-SiC:H, in das
Galliumatome an den Stellen eingebracht sind, die eine hohe optische Absorption erfordern.
For the layer material:
The layer material is on a translucent substrate. The layer material itself consists of an amorphous, hydroxylated silicon carbide of the form a-SiC: H, into which gallium atoms are introduced at the points that require a high optical absorption.
Für das Verfahren:
Dünne, (100 nm) hydroxierte, amorphe Siliciumkarbid-Schichten (a-Si1-xCx:H) wurden auf
transparenten Glassubstraten (Corning 7059) durch eine konventionelle 13.56 MHz Bogenentladung
abgeschieden. (Prozessparameter: Temperatur: 250°C, Druck 0.13 mbar, Leistungsdichte: 113 mW/cm2,
totaler Gasfluss: 40 sccm. Das Verhältnis der Gasflüsse von [SiH4] und [CH4] war r =
[CH4]/([CH4] + [SiH4]) = 0.9 wodurch der Kohlenstoffanteil in der Schicht zu x = 0.15 bestimmt
wurde. Durch ERD Messungen (elastic recoil detection) wurde der C-Gehalt sowie durch RBS
(Rutherford back scattering) der Si-Anteil bestimmt. Die Schichtdicke wurde mit optischen
Methoden gemessen. Mittels eines fokussierten Ionenstrahles wurde mit 35 keV Ga+ Ionen eine
Lichtmaske in die a-SiC:H-Schicht auf Quarzglas geschrieben. Die Dosis wurde im Bereich
1 × 1015 . . . 2 × 1017 cm-2 variiert. Der Ionenstrahl, durch einen Computer gesteuert, übertrug das
digitalisierte Muster auf die Schicht, wo die eingebrachten Ga-Ionen zu einer chemischen
Modifikation, d. h. einer Erhöhung der Absorption (Schwärzung) führten.
For the procedure:
Thin, (100 nm) hydroxylated, amorphous silicon carbide layers (a-Si 1-x C x : H) were deposited on transparent glass substrates (Corning 7059) by a conventional 13.56 MHz arc discharge. (Process parameters: temperature: 250 ° C, pressure 0.13 mbar, power density: 113 mW / cm 2 , total gas flow: 40 sccm. The ratio of the gas flows of [SiH 4 ] and [CH 4 ] was r = [CH 4 ] / ( [CH 4 ] + [SiH 4 ]) = 0.9, which determined the carbon content in the layer as x = 0.15 The ER content (elastic recoil detection) determined the C content and RBS (Rutherford back scattering) the Si content The layer thickness was measured using optical methods. Using a focused ion beam, a light mask was written with 35 keV Ga + ions in the a-SiC: H layer on quartz glass. The dose was in the range 1 × 10 15... 2 × 10 17 cm -2 The ion beam, controlled by a computer, transferred the digitized pattern to the layer, where the introduced Ga ions led to a chemical modification, ie an increase in absorption (blackening).
Im langwelligen Spektralbereich kann der Absorptions-Koeffizient um mehr als zwei Größenordnungen erhöht werden, im kurzwelligen (blauen) Bereich beträgt der Unterschied noch eine Größenordnung. In the long-wave spectral range, the absorption coefficient can be increased by more than two Orders of magnitude increased, in the short-wave (blue) range the difference is still one Magnitude.
