Definitions
- the invention relates to an objective, in particular a microscope objective, the objective having an object-side first optical group with positive refractive power and a second optical group downstream of the first optical group with negative refractive power, and wherein the first optical group contains several refractive elements.
- Such a microscope objective is used, for example, in microscopes for the optical control of masks which are used for the production of semiconductor components;
- Such masks include e.g. a quartz substrate on which the mask structure is formed by means of chromium.
- a removable layer of plastic is applied, the surface of which facing away from the mask structure is at a distance of 7.5 mm from the mask structure.
- the microscope objective has a numerical aperture of greater than 0.5, but then the working distance of the microscope objective is generally less than 1 mm. This means that the protective layer has to be removed to check the mask, which on the one hand increases the amount of work involved in the control and on the other hand entails the risk that particles are undesirably applied to the mask which significantly reduce the mask quality.
- a lens in particular a microscope lens, of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it has a high numerical aperture and at the same time a large working distance.
- the object is achieved in a lens of the type mentioned at the outset in that the first optical group contains at least one diffractive element which has a refractive-enhancing and achromatic effect.
- a positive refractive power or positive effect is understood here to mean the property of reducing the divergence of a radiation beam or converting it into a convergence or intensifying convergence. With regard to the first optics group, this applies at least to the light of a diffraction order of the diffractive element. For the light of the at least one diffraction order, the diffractive element itself therefore also has a positive refractive power and thus a refractive-enhancing effect.
- a negative refractive power or negative effect is understood here to mean the property of increasing the divergence of a radiation beam or reducing the convergence of a radiation beam or also converting it into a divergence. The achromatizing effect of the diffractive element therefore exists for the at least one diffraction order for which the diffractive element also has a refractive enhancement effect.
- the objective according to the invention comprises an optical element with which e.g. the spherical aberration and coma of the lens according to the invention can be improved and at the same time also contributes to achromatization of the lens, since the dispersion of the diffractive element is opposite to the dispersion of the refractive elements of the lens according to the invention.
- lenses made of fluorspar need not be used for achromatization in the lens according to the invention for applications in the UV range (wavelengths less than 300 nm), so that its manufacture is simplified compared to a conventional lens which also contains fluorspar lenses because of the achromatization required ,
- the materials for the optical elements can be selected independently of the necessary achromatization with regard to other important properties (such as, for example, machinability or transmission properties), wherein the optical elements can all be produced from the same or from different materials.
- the diffractive element has a relatively high positive refractive power (or high positive effect) compared to a refractive element, so that the number of elements of the lens according to the invention is significantly reduced compared to a lens formed from exclusively refractive elements. This is particularly the case with high-performance lenses that are achromatized for a wavelength range of a few nanometers or less.
- the objective according to the invention can easily be implemented as an exchange objective that can be used in existing devices, such as optical inspection systems and microscopes can be used without having to change these devices.
- these devices can easily be retrofitted with the objective according to the invention, which has a very high numerical aperture and at the same time a very large working distance.
- the diffractive element can preferably be designed such that, in addition to its achromatizing effect for the lens and refraction-enhancing effect for the first optical group, even higher-order spherical errors which are generated by the remaining optical elements of the lens according to the invention are compensated.
- the diffractive element which assumes the achromatizing effect in the objective according to the invention, can cause the difficulties of the lens thicknesses which are too narrow and the insufficient air gaps between the lenses, in particular at the lens edges, in an objective consisting exclusively of refractive elements due to the necessary achromatization , which extremely complicates the mount technology, can be avoided, so that advantageously the mount of the optical elements in the lens according to the invention is significantly simplified. This is also the reason why the objective according to the invention can be manufactured inexpensively and quickly.
- all optical elements of the two optical groups are formed from a maximum of two different materials, preferably from the same material. Since the achromatization is effected by the diffractive element, materials can be selected which are best suited for the spectral range for which the objective according to the invention is to be used. You can e.g. select the material with the best transmission properties and / or the material that is easiest to work with.
- the elements can consist of quartz and / or calcium fluoride.
- the lens according to the invention is designed such that the desired achromatization of the lens for a predetermined wavelength range is brought about completely by the at least one diffractive element.
- the desired achromatization is the complete achromatization of the objective
- optical arrangements downstream of the objective such as, for example, a tube lens in a microscope
- the desired achromatization can be incomplete achromatization of the objective according to the invention, so that the light beam emerging from the objective is not completely achromatized.
- the missing contribution to complete achromatization can then, if desired, be provided by an optical arrangement downstream of the objective (for example a tube lens in a microscope).
- the achromatization of the refractive elements (which are preferably not themselves achromatized at all) of the objective according to the invention is effected essentially or also exclusively by the at least one diffractive element (or also by several diffractive elements).
- the second optics group preferably contains no diffractive elements, but only a single or several refractive elements. Of course, the second optics group can also contain one or more diffractive elements.
- the optical elements of the two optical groups are preferably held without cement, so that the disadvantage of aging of the cement which occurs in systems with optical cement, which occurs particularly at wavelengths in the UV range and is a great difficulty, is advantageously avoided. This ensures that the lens according to the invention can be used for a very long time.
- the maximum bundle diameter in the first optics group is advantageously larger than the maximum bundle diameter in the second optics group. This enables a high numerical aperture to be achieved with a short overall length of the objective according to the invention, whereby a high resolution can be achieved in particular when the objective according to the invention is used in a microscope.
- the diffractive element of the objective according to the invention is preferably a grating that is rotationally symmetrical to the optical axis of the objective, so that the installation and adjustment of the diffractive element in the objective according to the invention is simplified due to this symmetry. This also enables the objective according to the invention to be manufactured quickly.
- the diffractive element has a transmissive grating, preferably a phase grating, the grating frequency of which increases radially outward from the optical axis of the objective.
- the grating can be formed, for example, by annular depressions which are concentric to the optical axis, the grating preferably being formed on a flat surface. This flat surface can either be a surface of a plane-parallel plate or a lens of the first optics group. Providing the grid on a flat surface facilitates its manufacture.
- the grating can also be formed on a curved active or interface of one of the diffractive elements of the first optical group.
- the number of optical elements is advantageously reduced again, so that the lens according to the invention can be manufactured more quickly and more cost-effectively.
- the diffractive element in the region with the largest bundle diameter in the first optical group, since the high refractive power of the diffractive element can be used most effectively there. Also, the scattered light (light of undesired orders) is largely shaded on the frames of the lenses following the diffractive element or leaves the lens with a significantly different focal length than the useful light (which is used for imaging), so that the scattered light is expanded very much becomes and thereby leads to a very minimal deterioration of the image.
- the grating is particularly advantageously designed as a blaze grating, so that the light-collecting effectiveness of the grating is extremely high for a desired diffraction order.
- the light of this diffraction order is the useful light which is imaged by means of the optical elements of the objective according to the invention connected downstream of the diffractive element and which is intended to leave the objective as a beam which is achromatic.
- the flanks of the depressions are continuous and do not have to be approximated by a staircase function, so that advantageously there is virtually no diffuse scattered light which would impair the imaging property of the lens.
- the depressions of the diffractive element of the objective according to the invention are formed in a preferred development such that the depth of the individual depressions decreases with increasing radial distance of the depression from the center.
- the depressions can also be formed so that they are all of the same depth.
- the production of the grating is simplified and it can be formed, for example, by means of structuring methods known from semiconductor production.
- the optimum depth for the edge region of the diffractive element is chosen as the depth which all the depressions have, since the edge region contributes most to the light collection due to its larger area compared to the central region of the grille and the outer area makes a large contribution to the aperture and thus most strongly determines the resolution of the objective according to the invention.
- the depression in the edge region with the optimal depth is preferably formed.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of the objective according to the invention consists in that only the diffracted light of a predetermined order, preferably the positive or negative first order, of the diffractive element is used as an achromatic and refraction-enhanced light for imaging, and that the diffracted light of other orders is not to be used for scattering - or false light.
- a circular central shading diaphragm is provided on or near the diffractive element, which is arranged concentrically to the optical axis of the lens and whose diameter is preferably selected such that the zero-order diffraction light that is not due to the versions of the diffractive element is dimmed subsequent optical elements, is safely shadowed.
- the zero-order diffraction light thus does not disadvantageously degrade the imaging property of the objective according to the invention.
- the diameter can also be chosen to be at least as large as the bundle diameter of the beam emerging from the second optical group. This advantageously ensures that zero-order diffraction light certainly does not impair the image.
- all refractive elements of the first optical group can each have positive refractive power. This makes it possible for the first optical group as a whole to have a very high positive refractive power with a large aperture, as a result of which the resolution is very large.
- the second optical group can only have elements with negative refractive power, as a result of which the desired beam, which is to emerge from the second optical group and which is preferably a parallel beam, can be generated in a simple manner by means of the second optical group.
- FIG. 1 shows a lens section of the optical structure of the microscope objective plus tube unit according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the microscope objective shown in FIG. 1;
- Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the grating frequency of the diffractive optical element
- Fig. 5 is a schematic view for explaining the manufacture of the diffractive optical element.
- a microscope objective 1 and a tube unit 2 downstream thereof are provided in order to magnify an object located in the object plane 3 in the image plane 4 (or intermediate image plane).
- the microscope objective 1 is a high-performance objective that is used in microscopes that are used, for example, in the control of masks for semiconductor production.
- the microscope objective 1 described here is achromatized for a spectral range of 193 nm ⁇ 0.5 nm and has a 50-fold magnification with a numerical aperture of 0.65 and a working distance of 7.8 mm, the object field diameter being 0.1 mm and the image field diameter is 5.0 mm.
- the microscope objective 1 contains a first optical group 5 with positive refractive power (or positive effect) on the object side and a second optical group 6 with negative refractive power downstream of the first optical group 5. negative effect), wherein all optical elements of the two optical groups 5 and 6 are made of the same material, namely Suprasil (synthetic quartz).
- the first optics group 5 has, seen from left to right in FIG. 2, a first, second, third and fourth lens 7, 8, 9 and 10, and a diffractive optical element 11.
- a fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth lens 12, 13, 14 and 15 form the second optical group 6.
- Table 1 Table 1:
- the tube lens 2 has lenses 16, 17 and 18, the structure and arrangement of which can be found in the following table.
- the diffractive optical element 11 is a transmissive phase grating, in which annular furrows arranged in the surface 109 facing the object plane 3 are formed concentrically to the optical axis OA of the objective 1.
- the diffractive optical element 11 is designed such that on the one hand it is refractive-enhancing for the first optics group 5 (ie an increase in the positive effect or positive refractive power) and on the other hand it completely achromatizes in the given spectral range (193 nm + 0.5 nm) causes for the lens 1, here the diffracted light of the positive first order is used as useful light for the image.
- the diffracted light of other orders is scattered light, which should not contribute to the image in order not to deteriorate it.
- the first order of diffraction is referred to as a positive first order, in which a parallel beam (a beam parallel to the optical axis OA of the objective) is deflected towards the optical axis OA.
- the first diffraction order in which a parallel beam is diffracted away from the optical axis OA, is referred to as the negative first diffraction order.
- the deflection angle for the diffracted light of the positive first order is set via the grating frequency of the diffractive optical element 11.
- the grid frequency can be calculated using optimization calculations based on the following phase polynomial p (r)
- r the radial distance from the center M of the phase grating and N is a positive integer greater than 1.
- the coefficients a j are changed for optimization.
- Phase polynomial p (r) specifies the phase shift as a function of the radial distance r and from the derivation of the phase polynomial according to the radial distance r it allows the grating frequency of the diffractive element to be calculated. From this grating frequency, in turn, the angle of incidence for each incident beam can then be determined, as a result of which the achromatizing and refraction-enhancing effect of the grating can then be determined. With this optimization calculation, other aberrations of the lenses 7 to 10 and 12 to 15 (such as, for example, higher spherical errors) can also be co-coordinated, a value of 3 to 10 being preferably chosen for N.
- FIG. 3 shows the course of the grating frequency in a central section of a diffractive optical element 11 optimized in this way.
- the distance from is on the abscissa the center of the grid M is plotted (one subdivision corresponds to 5 mm) and the ordinate shows the number of lines (furrows) per mm, the zero point being at the intersection of the ordinate and abscissa and each subdivision of the ordinate corresponding to 500 lines per mm. From Fig. 3 it can thus be seen that the grating frequency of 0 lines per mm (in the center M) increases with a radially increasing distance from the center M to the maximum frequency of 1841 lines per mm.
- a theoretically optimal diffraction efficiency can be achieved with such a grating if the depth of the individual depressions is chosen to be smaller with increasing radial distance of the depressions from the center, so that the depth of a depression in the edge region of the grating is less than the depth of a depression, which lies further inside.
- Such a grating can be easily produced in an advantageous manner using the holographic standing wave method described below, since the desired depth distribution is also generated in this method.
- the grating can also be produced in such a way that the furrows are preferably all of the same depth, the depth being set to the optimal value (for example 300 nm) for the edge region of the optical diffractive element 11, since the edge region is in comparison due to its larger area contributes most to the collection of light in the central central area and thus also most to diffraction efficiency. Furthermore, the edge area contributes most to the resolution of the objective according to the invention.
- the grating with constant groove depth and the grating with variable depth can be formed by means of structuring methods known from semiconductor production, in which case a suitable lacquer layer which is applied to a substrate in which the grating is to be formed is exposed (for example by mask exposure or electron beam lithography). and is structured. The structure in the lacquer layer is then transferred into the substrate using known methods (such as reactive ion etching). This enables the desired grating to be formed with the necessary accuracy.
- the positive first order diffracted light is used for the imaging, so that the diffraction light of the other orders represents undesirable stray light.
- the diffractive optical element 1 is arranged in the first optical group 5 in the area in which the bundle diameter is largest. As a result, a large part of the scattered light is dimmed at the frames of the subsequent lenses 12 to 15, in which the bundle diameter is significantly smaller, as can be seen in FIG. 2.
- the scattered light which is not dimmed by the frames of the optical elements 12 to 15 that follow the diffractive optical element 11, leaves the microscope objective 1 due to the high number of lines of the diffractive optical element 11 with a significantly different focal length than that of the diffracted light positive first order, so that the stray light due to its convergent or divergent propagation on its way to the intermediate image between the microscope objective 1 and the Tube lens 2 lies, is greatly expanded and is therefore largely dimmed on the frames of the tube lens 2.
- the very small portion that is not dimmed on the tube lens 2 only comes into the image in a highly defocused manner, so that its portion does not lead to a significant deterioration in the image.
- the diffractive optical element 11 is designed such that it completely takes over the achromatization of the objective 1 in the predetermined spectral range, so that all the elements 7 to 15 of the microscope objective 1 can consist of the same material without any problems.
- the material that is most suitable for the desired wavelength, for example the best transmission and / or the easiest to process, can thus be selected.
- FIG. 4 shows a sectional illustration of the microscope objective 1 according to the invention, the frames of the optical elements 7 to 15 also being shown.
- the microscope objective 1 is of a very compact and cementless construction, with a very small number of optical elements (7 to 15), a large working distance A of 7.8 mm with a numerical aperture of 0.65 having. Due to the very small overall length of the microscope objective 1, it can in particular also be used modularly in already existing inspection systems.
- the lattice structure in the surface 109 of the diffractive optical element 11 can be generated holographically.
- a lacquer layer 19 is applied to an upper side of a plane-parallel plate 11 '(Suprasil), which is then exposed by means of the holographic standing wave method, as shown schematically in FIG. 5.
- the lacquer layer 19 is designed for an exposure wavelength of 458 nm and has a thickness of 200 to 500 nm.
- the first spherical wave has its origin at point 20 and, seen in FIG. 5, spreads to the right.
- the second spherical wave propagates in the opposite direction to the first spherical wave, its focus being at point 21.
- the distances d1, d2 of the points 20 and 21 from the lacquer layer 19 are selected such that the desired lattice structure in the lacquer layer 19 is exposed.
- the distance d1 from the point 20 to the top of the lacquer layer 19 is 22.776 mm and the distance d2 from the point 21 to the top of the lacquer layer 19 is 21, 158 mm.
- the lacquer layer 19 After exposure of the lacquer layer 19, the latter is developed so that the lacquer layer 19 is structured and has the desired lattice structure. This lattice structure is then created using reactive ion etching (RIE) transferred into the surface of the plane-parallel plate 11 'so that the desired depth of the recesses is achieved. Thereafter, any residues of the lacquer layer 19 that may still be present are removed, so that the diffractive optical element 11 is completed.
- RIE reactive ion etching
- a further improvement in the imaging property of the objective according to the invention can be achieved by applying a central shading diaphragm (not shown) to the surface 109 or 110 of the diffractive optical element 11, which is arranged in a circle and concentrically to the optical axis OA.
- the diameter of this central shading diaphragm is preferably chosen to be as large as the bundle diameter of the beam of rays emerging from the second optics group 6. It is thereby achieved that the zero-order diffraction light from the central region is shaded around the optical axis OA and thus does not enter the second optical group 6, thereby preventing the imaging property of the objective 1 from deteriorating due to the zero-order diffraction light from the central region.
- the zero-order diffraction light, which is not caught by the shading diaphragm is dimmed by the frames of the lenses 12 to 15 connected downstream of the diffractive element 11, so that advantageously better imaging properties are achieved by the shading diaphragm.
