Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for projecting a particle beam, in particular electrons, onto a substrate, as well as to a computer program product for implementing such a method. It applies in particular to the field of electronic lithography for direct engraving on wafer or mask making, but also to electron microscopy and more generally to any field where it is necessary to model and control the interaction of a beam of particles (electrons, but also ions or even neutral atoms) with a target.
- a beam of particles electros, but also ions or even neutral atoms
- Electronic lithography (or electron beam lithography) is the most commonly used maskless - or "direct-writing" lithography technique. It makes it possible to achieve a spatial resolution of a few tens of nanometers or less, and is particularly well suited for the manufacture of photolithography masks.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of an electron beam lithography apparatus known from the prior art and adapted to the implementation of a method according to the invention.
- the reference 1 1 corresponds to a substrate - for example a silicon wafer or a glass or silica plate - on which a pattern must be transferred by direct writing, the reference 12 to a layer of resin sensitive to electron beam irradiation deposited on a surface of said substrate (the term "substrate” will be used interchangeably to designate the substrate 1 1 naked or the assembly 10, including the resin layer), the reference 20 to a source of electron beam, the reference 21 to an electron beam generated by said source and directed towards the substrate, the reference 30 to a translational stage for moving the substrate 10 relative to the electron beam 20, the reference 40 to a computer or a control processor of the electron beam source 20 and the translation stage 30.
- the electron beam source 20 and the translation stage 30 cooperate to selectively exposing the specific electron regions of the substrate to the electron beam in a predetermined pattern.
- the areas of the resin which have received a dose D (measured, for example, in ⁇ / ⁇ 2 ) greater than or equal to a threshold D 0 undergo a chemical transformation - they are said to be exposed.
- the exposed areas of the resin are selectively removed, so that the regions in which the resin has been removed reproduce the predetermined pattern on the surface of the substrate.
- a resin called "negative” on the other hand, it is the unexposed areas that are eliminated during development, so that it is the resin remaining on the surface of the substrate that reproduces the pattern.
- the electron beam 21 may be a narrow circular section beam, in which case the pattern is projected onto the substrate by point.
- shaped beams which have a larger area section and generally rectangular or triangular shape.
- a shaped beam makes it possible to produce in a single exposure an elementary form of the pattern to be transferred. This results in a significant acceleration of the process.
- the spatial distribution of the charge and energy deposited on the substrate is affected by the interaction phenomena between the electrons of the beam and the target substrate, and in particular by forward and backward diffusion effects (“proximity effects”).
- proximity effects forward and backward diffusion effects
- the dose actually received by the substrate surface does not fall abruptly to zero at the edges of the beam spot, but gradually decreases.
- diffusion widens the dose distribution beyond the theoretical limits of the spot of the incident beam; in particular, the backscattered electrons can move a distance of a few micrometers.
- Correction of proximity effects is therefore essential to ensure exact reproduction of the target pattern on the substrate. This correction is performed by modulating the dose delivered by the beam and / or using a narrower beam than the pattern to be transferred to the substrate.
- the calculation of the correction requires a mathematical model of the electron-substrate interaction, which is usually based on a Point Spread Function (PSF).
- PSF Point Spread Function
- the dose distribution at the surface of the substrate is given by the convolution between the PSF and the "theoretical" form of the electron beam (expressed, for example, by a gate function equal to 1 inside a rectangle and 0 elsewhere).
- PSF is expressed as the weighted sum of two Gaussian distribution functions, one representing forward scatter and the other backscattering: - a is the diffusion width forward;
- ⁇ is the backscattering width
- ⁇ is the ratio of the intensities of the diffusions forward and backward
- r is the radial position of a point with respect to the center of the beam.
- ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ depend on the energy of the electrons and the nature of the substrate. They can be determined experimentally for a given process. See for example:
- a is of the order of 30 nm, ⁇ of the order of 10 ⁇ and ⁇ of the order of 0 5.
- EP 2 650 902 discloses the use of a PSF obtained by linear combination of Voigt functions (or functions approaching a Voigt function, such as a Pearson VII function) and possibly at least one Gaussian function. .
- the critical dimension is defined as the smallest dimension a pattern, or part of a pattern; for example, the width of the thinnest line of the pattern).
- the invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art. More precisely, it aims at providing an analytical expression of a PSF allowing a better correction of the proximity effects than the known expressions of the prior art, in particular for the production of patterns having critical dimensions of less than 100 nm or even 50 nm. , while being simple to calculate.
- this object is achieved by the use of a PSF expressed by a two-sided symmetric symmetric function.
- a function has the appearance of a gate function whose edges are rounded. It can be expressed as the difference of two identical sigmoid functions, but spatially shifted.
- An object of the invention is therefore a method of projecting a beam of particles onto a substrate, said method comprising:
- said point spreading function is, or comprises as a term of a linear combination, a two-dimensional sigmoid function.
- Another object of the invention is an electronic lithography method comprising a step of projecting an electron beam onto a substrate coated with developable resin implemented by a method as mentioned above.
- Yet another object of the invention is a computer program comprising program code instructions recorded on a computer readable medium and adapted to implement, when said program is executed by a computer, an operation for correcting the scattering effects of a particle beam projected on a substrate, said correction being effected by means of a point spread function which is, or comprises as that term of a linear combination, a double sigmoid function two-dimensional.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of an electronic lithography apparatus
- FIG. 3 the graphs of three symmetrical symmetrical double sigmoid functions characterized by different stiffness parameters
- FIGS. 5 and 6 the implementation of a calibration step of a method according to one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 7 the shaping of an electron beam
- Figures 8A-8C and 9A-9D graphs illustrating a technical effect of the invention.
- a sigmoid function is a function that admits two horizontal asymptotes, which passes gradually from one to the other and which presents a point of inflection. In a narrower sense, this term refers to the function
- a double sigmoid function is given by the difference of two sigmoid functions of the type of equation (2).
- DSS symmetric sigmoid function
- this function tends to a "gate” or “slot” function, which becomes softer as k increases, until it tends to a bell shape for k large.
- the halfway width of the door does not depend on k, but is equal to 2x 0 .
- the functions defining "bell-shaped" curves (Gaussian, Voigt function 7) have a width at mid-height linked to stiffness of their slopes.
- the invention proposes to use as a PSF a dual two-dimensional sigmoid function, and preferably a two-dimensional symmetric symmetric sigmoid function which can be defined by the following equation:
- DSS2D () [ 1 + e _ (+ o) / fc - 1 + e - (* - * 0 ) / fcJ ' [ 1 + e - (y + yo) / 1 ⁇ 2 ⁇ 11 + ey-yO / ky
- the expression of the dose D deposited at point x is:
- the PSF can be expressed by a linear combination of several functions, at least one of which is a double sigmoid function.
- the coefficients of the linear combination and the different parameters characterizing these functions can be determined by regression, generally nonlinear.
- Figure 7 illustrates the shaping of an electron beam 21 by means of a diaphragm 50, formed by two metal caps 51, 52 in the shape of "L". Moving these two caches relative to one another varies the shape (rectangular, more or less elongated, or square) and the size of the opening 500 through which the beam passes.
- the beam profile 60 measured at the surface of the substrate 10, has a shape that can be more easily approximated by a symmetrical double sigmoid function than by a Gaussian, especially when the beam section reaches the ultimate dimensions of the device.
- electronic lithography typically 20nm to 50nm.
- the reference 70 designates the pattern transferred on the resin 12 by the beam 21 shaped by the diaphragm 50.
- diaphragms for making beams of other than rectangular shape, for example circular or triangular.
- the dose profile deposited in the resin can be defined as the product of convolution between a function defining the desired pattern (for example, a succession of slots) by the PSF.
- This dose profile is converted into an exposure pattern by a specific transfer function of the resin, which may for example be a simple thresholding.
- FIGS. 8A to 9D make it possible to compare the results of pattern transfer simulations in a resin using a Gaussian PSF (curve G in FIG. 8A) and a symmetric sigmoid double function PSF (DSS curve).
- Gaussian PSF curve G in FIG. 8A
- DSS curve symmetric sigmoid double function PSF
- the curves P G and PDSS in FIG. 8B show the deposited dose profiles, obtained by convolution of PSF G and DSS, respectively, with this periodic pattern. The curves are different near their maxima, but have a comparable mid-height width of 50 nm.
- FIG. 8C shows the patterns M G and M D ss effectively transferred into the resin, considering a threshold equal to 0.5 (units arbitrary). In this case, these patterns are virtually identical, and are actually merged in the figure. This ceases to be true for reasons of smaller critical dimensions.
- FIGS. 9A / 9B relate to the case of a slot pattern with a width of 50 nm and a 100 nm period
- FIGS. 9C / 9D in the case of a pattern of the same type but with a width of 32 nm and of period 64 nm. In both cases, the pattern calculated using a symmetric sigmoid dual function PSF is narrower than that obtained with a Gaussian PSF.
- the sigmoidal functions - notably of logistic type - present analytical expressions, easy to integrate in the tools of numerical simulation; the same goes for symmetrical double sigmoid functions.
- Their cumulative distribution functions being also analytical, the convolution calculations used for the proximity effect correction remain of a complexity and a computing power consumption comparable to the prior art.
- PSFs comprising symmetrical double sigmoid functions can be determined - as described above with reference to FIG. 5 - corresponding to the different beam geometries, pattern size and other working conditions that can be realized by a lithography equipment. formed beam given.
- Another advantage of the invention lies in the simplification of the proximity effect correction process.
- Known software of the prior art for example PROXECCO (registered trademark), or INSCALE (registered trademark) can combine a dose modulation and a geometric modulation of the patterns to be exposed to optimize the geometries, as described in the application Patent EP 2 650 902.
- PROXECCO registered trademark
- INSCALE registered trademark
- the dose modulation corrections according to the invention may be integrated with commercial software such as PROXECCO (registered trademark) distributed by the company Synopsis, or INSCALE (registered trademark) by the company Aselta Nanographics or BEAMER (registered trademark) by GeniSys, to replace the forward-scattering PSFs of the prior art (Gaussian functions or their combinations) by the double-sigmoid PSF described above.

- the invention has been mainly described in connection with its application to electronic lithography. However, she can also apply to lithography processes using particle beams other than electrons, and even to methods of interaction between a particle beam and a target other than lithography. It can especially apply to electron microscopy.
