Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for test irradiation of objects coated with photosensitive paints with an EUV radiation source, an optical system for filtering the radiation from the EUV radiation source, a chamber for receiving the object and means for interrupting the beam path onto the object.
- the invention also relates to an operating method for such a device.
- lithography is a method for transferring circuit patterns of microelectronic components and integrated circuits to a silicon semiconductor wafer, the afer.
- a mask is first produced which contains the pattern in the form of transparency differences for the rays with which it is transferred to the wafer.
- the wafer surface is coated with a radiation-sensitive photoresist and exposed through the mask.
- Semiconductor structures are transferred to the photoresist using a so-called lithography scanner.
- the exposed or the unexposed photoresist is detached and the wafer surface is exposed at these points.
- the changed requirements for the coatings require an adaptation of their test systems, which are used before the series production of the wafers to determine the coating properties under different irradiation.
- EUV radiation is extremely strongly absorbed by matter. It is therefore necessary that the EUV radiation is conducted under ultra high vacuum conditions.
- the source of the EUV radiation is a thermally emitting plasma. In contrast to the lasers previously used, plasma emits very broadband, so that in addition to the desired EUV radiation, DUV, VUV and UV radiation is also produced. It is therefore necessary to keep this radiation away from the paints with spectral filters.
- EUV radiation sources of this type emit very short radiation pulses ( ⁇ 1 ns) with repetition frequencies of a few MHz, so that these EUV sources are often referred to as quasi-cw sources.
- individual fields were sequentially irradiated with different radiation doses to test the varnish applied to plates in order to determine the influence of the radiation dose on the varnish.
- several fields coated with lacquer have already been exposed simultaneously on synchrotron storage rings, with a rapidly rotating diaphragm wheel arranged in front of the lacquer layer taking on the function of a gray wedge.
- the aperture openings arranged radially on the wheel are of different sizes, so that the individual fields are exposed to the radiation for different lengths during each revolution. reproducible Radiation conditions in the individual fields of the object are only possible with the aperture wheel because the EUV radiation source behaves quasi stationary due to the high repetition frequency and radiates very stably.
- EUV laboratory radiation sources generate a dense and hot (> 200,000 ° C) plasma and emit the EUV radiation only in very short pulses (typically 100 ns) with very low repetition rates (typically 10 - 1000 Hz).
- the object of the invention is to provide a device for test irradiation of objects coated with photosensitive paints, which, using an inexpensive radiation source, enables at least partially simultaneous irradiation of several radiation fields on the object with different doses in the shortest possible time , does not require complex and therefore costly optics in the beam path of the EUV radiation and in which a degradation of the optical elements in the beam path due to EUV radiation has no influence on the test result achieved.
- the EUV radiation source is a laboratory source for EUV radiation
- the optical system at least one filter for suppressing unwanted spectral components of the radiation, in particular VIS, UV, DUV, VUV radiation, and at least one mirror for spectral filtering of the "in-band" - EUV area
- the means for interrupting the beam path comprise a plurality of closable diaphragm openings, which enable the irradiation fields behind the diaphragm openings, radiation fields located on the object, to be timed

- the laboratory source reliably provides the required EUV radiation over a long operating period.
- the plasma from the laboratory source emits very broadband radiation, which in addition to the desired EUV radiation also contains DUV, VUV, UV and VIS radiation.
- the optical system preferably has a spectral filter.
- the filter can, for example, consist of a thin metal foil (e.g. a 150 nm thick zirconium foil on a support grid).
- the filter is preferably located at the outlet of the laboratory source. With this arrangement, the filter prevents contaminants from the laboratory source from entering the receiving chamber for the object to be irradiated and contaminating parts located there.
- the optical system has the further task of ensuring that the radiation is carried out only with the "in-band" EUV radiation with a wavelength of 13.5 nm.
- a multilayer mirror is particularly suitable for filtering.
- the components of the optical system ensure that practically only the desired EUV radiation hits the object.
- the compact optical system of the device according to the invention in particular with only one filter and one mirror, enables a very short distance from the EUV laboratory source to the object to be irradiated with homogeneous irradiation of all irradiation fields. Due to the small distance, a large solid angle of the thermal emission of the plasma can also be used without an expensive condenser.
- the diaphragm openings which can be closed according to the invention permit at least partially simultaneous irradiation of the radiation fields defined on the object through the diaphragm openings. All radiation fields are initially irradiated in parallel until individual aperture openings after reaching the target dose for the assigned
- the diaphragm openings are preferably arranged in a flat plate and have a diameter of 5 mm, for example. With 20 such apertures, the test duration for a photoresist can be reduced almost by a factor of 20 compared to individual irradiations with different radiation doses.
- the monitor detectors arranged behind the optical system allow an exact measurement of the radiation dose of the individual radiation fields.
- several photodiodes Schottky type
- the signals supplied by the diodes are preferably averaged in order to improve the measurement accuracy.
- the radiation dose is recorded continuously during the radiation, the radiation of the radiation fields can be carried out with precisely definable target values for the radiation dose.
- the monitor detectors are preferably arranged between the optical system and the closable openings; they are conveniently located as close as possible to the object to be irradiated. This arrangement of the monitor detectors makes the device insensitive to the degradation of the optical system.
- the chamber for receiving the object is therefore designed and evacuated, for example, to a negative pressure of 10 ⁇ 6 mbar. It is separated from the discharge chamber of the laboratory source by a window with an opening for the passage of the radiation, the window in particular having a filter of the optical system, for example in the form of a metallic foil. This prevents contamination of the receiving chamber.
- the receiving chamber preferably has its own pump system and is separated from the laboratory source and preferably also the area for receiving the optical system when handling the object to be irradiated by means of a slide valve.
- the radiation fields are preferably arranged parallel to the plane of the diaphragm openings.
- the object coated with photoresist is in particular a silicon wafer, for example a 6 inch wafer with a thickness of 650 ⁇ m and with 20 radiation fields defined by the aperture openings.
- a holder in the receiving chamber which receives the wafer in such a way that that the EUV radiation hits its photoresist coating.
- the laboratory source emits radiation pulses of a duration of less than 1 ⁇ s, in particular 100 ns, with a repetition rate between 1 and 10,000 Hz, in particular 1-5000 Hz.
- the radiation from the laboratory source comes from a thermally emitting plasma, in particular from a laser-generated one or discharge-generated plasma or from an electron beam.
- a thin metal foil in particular a zirconium foil with a thickness of less than 200 nm but more than 100 nm is preferably arranged in the beam path as a filter for suppressing undesirable visible to VUV radiation.
- the film transmits up to 50% of the desired EUV radiation, while the unwanted radiation is suppressed by a factor> 1000.
- Each mirror for spectral filtering of the "in-band" EUV range is preferably designed as a multilayer mirror, it being possible for the mirror to be designed as a plane mirror or as a curved mirror.
- the multilayer mirrors reflect up to 70% of the incident radiation in a narrow spectral band in the EUV range, while radiation which is not in this narrow band is almost completely absorbed by the multilayer mirror.
- the diaphragm openings are preferably closed by means of a flat slide, which is in a to the plane of
- Aperture openings are arranged parallel to the plane and has a contour that enables a successive opening or closing of the aperture openings.
- the contour is in particular stair-shaped, so that the diaphragm openings arranged in rows can be opened or closed line by line.
- the flat slide as a closure for all aperture openings provides with only a mechanical component is a very favorable solution in terms of design and control technology.

- the device for EUV test radiation is used to apply a photoresist (resist) for lithography in the area of EUV radiation. H. at a wavelength of 13.5 nm, with 20 different radiation doses in one operation. The removal of the photoresist after development and the sharpness of the structures depicted should be determined as a function of the dose.
- the device for EUV test radiation consists of an EUV laboratory lamp (1) which generates radiation with a spectrum according to FIG. 1.
- the likewise horizontally oriented beam path (4) leaves the EUV laboratory lamp (1) via a horizontally oriented beam pipe (2) with an outlet opening (3).
- a jet pipe slide unit (5) is arranged at the outlet opening (3).
- the jet tube slide has a passage into which a 150 nm thick zirconium foil is inserted, which can be moved into the beam path (4) by means of the slide.
- the slide movable transversely to the axis of the beam path (4) allows the zirconium foil to be completely moved out of the cross section of the jet pipe (2), so that the outlet opening (3) is completely closed by the jet pipe slide, which is otherwise made of metal.
- a turbomolecular pump (6) is also arranged on the jet pipe (2) and generates a vacuum of approximately 10 "3 mbar in the EUV lamp (1) while maintaining a xenon atmosphere.
- a hollow cylindrical angle piece (7) which receives a deflecting mirror (8), adjoins the jet tube slide unit (5).
- the deflecting mirror (8) is arranged in the interior of the angle piece in the outer region of the bend in such a way that the horizontally incident beam path (4) is deflected by 90 ° into a wafer chamber (9), designated overall by (9).
- a mirror recipient (11) carries and fixes the deflecting mirror (8). It is pointed out that the constructively favorable angle of incidence of the EUV radiation of 45 ° shown in the exemplary embodiment can be varied without further ado.
- the angle chamber (7) is followed by the wafer chamber (9), which consists of a hollow cylindrical jet tube (12) and a receiving space (13) for the wafer coated with lacquer.
- the beam path (4) spreads from the deflecting mirror (8) through the beam pipe (12) in the direction of a diaphragm system (15).
- the surface of the wafer is oriented in the direction of the diaphragm system (15), so that the EUV radiation passing through the diaphragm system falls on the lacquer coating of the wafer.
- Aperture openings of the aperture system (15) are driven by a stepper motor (14).
- the side of the receiving space (13) a further turbo-molecular pump (17) is arranged, which kel Culture mbar during the exposure for the maintenance of a pressure of 10 "6 in the winter (7) and the wafer chamber (9) provides.
- the photodiodes In the direction of propagation of the beam path (4) of the EUV radiation to the side in the aperture system (15) there are three photodiodes (18) which can be seen in FIG. 3 and which record the radiation energy of the individual radiation pulses of the EUV lamp (1), the radiation energy being proportional to that charge generated in the photodiodes (18).
- the photodiodes are arranged as close as possible to the diaphragm openings in the diaphragm system, but in such a way that they are not covered by the motor-driven closure.
- the device for EUV test radiation has a further slide (19), which is arranged between the angle piece (7) and the beam pipe (12) of the wafer chamber (9). If the slide (19) is closed, the wafer chamber is
- FIG. 3 illustrates the structure of the diaphragm system, designated overall by (15), which has a shadow mask (21) with 5 rows, each with 4 diaphragm openings (22).
- the EUV radiation passing through each aperture (22) defines a delimited radiation field on the lacquer layer (16) of the wafer.
- the distance between the wafer and the aperture system (15) and the distance between the aperture openings (22) is designed in such a way that the radiation fields do not overlap.
- the aperture system (15) produces twenty delimited radiation fields of approximately 5 mm in diameter on the surface of the wafer coated with photoresist.
- the flat slide valve (24) is connected on the side opposite the contour (23) to the stepping motor (14) shown in FIG. By moving the flat slide
- the diaphragm openings (22) can be mechanically closed line by line. The consequence of this is that the radiation fields defined by the individual aperture openings (22) are given individual radiation times.
- the filter has two functions:
- the permeability of the zirconium filter is less than 10%.
- the deflecting mirror (8) is a multilayer mirror with, for example, 40 layers of a silicon substrate with a period thickness of approximately 10 nm. This mirror reflects a wavelength of 13.5 +/- 0.2 nm at an angle of 45 ° into the beam tube (12) of the wafer chamber (9).
- the slide (19) between the angle piece (7) and the wafer chamber is closed.
- the vacuum in the EUV lamp (1) and the angle piece (7) is maintained when the wafer chamber (9) is ventilated in order to open it, for example, to remove the irradiated wafer.
- the slide (19) not only enables shorter evacuation times for the wafer chamber (9) during the wafer handling, but also an effective protection of the sensitive optical system, which is formed by the zirconium foil in the beam tube slide unit (5) and the deflecting mirror (8) in the elbow.
- the photodiodes (18) arranged in the beam mask (4) in the shadow mask (21) measure the radiation energy of the EUV radiation pulses by generating a charge proportional to the radiation energy in the photodiodes.
- the charge generated by the individual pulses is added up electronically and queried cyclically by a controller (not shown in the figure). If the query shows that a certain radiation dose (target value) has been reached, a control command for the stepper motor (14) is triggered, which moves the flat slide valve (24) in the direction of the arrow (25) in order to line by line the next aperture opening (22) to close.
- the setpoints which must be reached depending on a target dose specified by the user (definition: a dose assumed by the user of the test system for the lacquer to be examined to be optimal) until the next aperture (22) is closed, form the bases of an irradiation function.
- the individual setpoints are calculated using the following formula:
- the function value s is the setpoint that must be reached before the next aperture is closed.
- the parameter F stands for the currently closed field and lies in the value range from 1 to 20.
- Exp The parameter Exp is the exponent set by the user and has the values from 1 to 5.
- the Tar parameter is the target dose set by the user.
- Var The Var parameter is the variation range set by the user in percent in the range from 1 to 100.
- Irradiation with EUV radiation causes the lacquer film to be removed from the wafer after development.
- the relationship between dose and erosion after development is shown in the curve in Fig. 5 using the example of a specific paint. From a certain dose, the value for the remaining thickness of the paint film drops sharply.
- the minimum dose required for the irradiation of this lacquer in the exemplary embodiment approximately 6 mJ / cm 2 ) can be read off the x-axis. In this way, the EUV radiation sensitivity of a photoresist for wafers can be determined in one operation.
