Abstract

PURPOSE:To thin a film and improve the X-ray leading-out efficiency by arranging an X-ray leading out window in the proximate vicinity of an X-ray reflecting mirror, and reducing the size of the X-ray leading-out window while the exposing area is secured. CONSTITUTION:An X-ray leading-out window 5 is arranged just behind an X-ray reflecting mirror capable of rocking, and the size of the window is reduced. That is, for example, the distance between the X-ray reflecting mirror 3 and a mask 7 is set at 1m; the X-ray leading-out window 5 is arranged at a position of 30cm from the center of the X-ray reflecting mirror 3; when 30cm width rocking is applied at an exposing position, the width of the X-ray leading- out window 5 may be about 10mm. Hence the size of the X-ray leading-out window 5 may be 30mm square or 10mmX30mm, so that the X-ray leading out window 5, i.e., the thickness of beryllium can be extremely thinned. Thereby the film thickness is reduced and the X-ray leading-out efficiency can be improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is directed to the use of X-rays when synchrotron radiation (hereinafter referred to as synchrotron radiation) is used for manufacturing high-density integrated circuits, analyzing materials, etc. The present invention relates to a synchrotron radiation exposure apparatus having a swingable XB reflection mirror and an X-ray extraction window in an extraction beam line.

However, as shown in FIG. 2, the vertical spread of synchrotron radiation is 1 mrad, and for example, in a 10 m beam line, the exposure area on the mask surface is only 1 cm wide. In order to enlarge the exposure area by spreading the X-rays in the vertical direction, there are two methods: ■ Enlarging the area by ξ mirror movement, ■ Swinging the mask and wafer on the aligner at a constant speed,
■Methods such as swinging the beam within the storage ring are being considered. Of these three methods, currently, the method using mirror swinging is commonly used to enlarge the exposure area. However, even if the exposure area is expanded using a mirror, the X-ray extraction window is located near the aligner mask, so it is not possible to make the X-ray extraction window thinner.
The current situation is that the wire extraction efficiency is poor.

The synchrotron radiation 2 emitted from the storage ring 1 is reflected by the X-ray reflecting mirror 3, and is oscillated in a constant width by the oscillation of the X-ray reflecting mirror 3. A wheeler is generally capable of driving on 3 or 6 axes, one of which is a swing axis. Now, in the case of 6-axis drive, the beam traveling direction component is X, its horizontal direction perpendicular component is Y, and the vertical direction component is Z11.
Letting the rotations of the components be α, β, and T, respectively, the α axis becomes the swing axis of the beam. On the other hand, the storage ring 1, mirror chamber 8, and beam line 9 are in an ultra-high vacuum of 10-' Torr, and an X-ray extraction window 5 is required to separate the ultra-high vacuum from the atmosphere. For the X-ray extraction window 5, beryllium, which has high X-ray transmittance, is generally used. The beryllium of the X-ray extraction window 5 is located near the mask 7 in order to reduce the attenuation of X-rays in the atmosphere, and its area is required to be 30 mm square in order to expand the exposure area. In addition, in order to have a strength of 1 atm with a size of 304s square, 1100
A film thickness of u or more is required. However, with a film thickness of 1100 μ, the X-ray transmittance is 5% at a wavelength of 8, and the X-ray intensity is attenuated to 1/20 by the beryllium film alone (other than the beryllium film attenuates more). In this way, in the past, a large beryllium film was required to secure the exposure area, and if a large beryllium film like the one mentioned above was to have enough strength to separate the ultra-high vacuum from the atmosphere, the film would become thicker. Since the X-ray transmittance deteriorates, there has been no synchrotron radiation exposure apparatus that has an exposure area larger than a certain level and has sufficient X-ray intensity.

(Function) Since the X-ray extraction window is placed immediately after the X-ray reflection mirror, a sufficient exposure area can be obtained even if the window is made small. Also,
Since the window is small, even if the film thickness of the window is made thinner than before to improve X-ray transmittance, the film can have sufficient strength to pressure-separate the mirror chamber and the mask.

The synchrotron radiation exposure device includes a storage ring l and mirror chambers 8 and
A beam line 9 consisting of a line extraction window 5, etc., and
It is composed of an aligner 6 for exposure. The X-ray extraction window 5 is generally made of beryllium, which has a high X-ray transmittance and is relatively strong. Synchrotron radiation 2 emitted from storage ring 1
is reflected by the X-ray reflecting mirror 3. The X-ray reflecting mirror 3 is connected to a mirror drive mechanism 4 via a vacuum bellows 10 and a connecting rod 11. Adjust the position of mirror 3. The X-rays emitted from the X-ray reflecting mirror 3 adjust the position of the X-ray reflecting mirror 3. The X-rays emitted from the X-ray reflection mirror 3 pass through the X-ray extraction window 5 located very close to the X-ray reflection mirror 3, and then pass through the helium pipe 13 and onto the mask 7 of the exposure aligner 6. reach. The helium in the helium pipe 13 has a pressure of 1 atm and a permeability that is approximately 260 times that of air. Further, the X-ray reflecting mirror 3 is connected to a mirror drive mechanism 4 through a return rod 12, and is swung by a swing mechanism provided within the mirror drive mechanism 4. The exposure area is expanded by this swinging of the X-ray reflecting mirror. In this embodiment, the exposure aligner 6 has an exposure system including a mask 7 in helium, making it possible to perform exposure in helium. Now, Fig. 4 shows the positional relationship between the X-ray reflection mirror 3, the X-ray extraction window 5, and the mask 7.
The radiation extraction window 5 is 30 cm from the center of the X-ray reflection mirror 3.
If the X-ray extraction window 5 is located at the position , and swings by a width of 30 mm at the exposure position, the width of the X-ray extraction window 5 may be about 10 mm. Therefore, the size of the X-ray extraction window 5 is the exposure area 30I.
The size of the X-ray extraction window 5, that is, the thickness of the beryllium, can be made as thin as possible since the size of the X-ray extraction window 5, that is, the thickness of the beryllium, can be made as thin as possible. In this example, the beryllium film thickness is 20 μI11, and the transmittance is 50% or more. In addition, since the horizontal direction can also be made smaller than conventional windows, if the exposure area is the same as conventional windows, the horizontal size will also be 30. The size may be less than mm. By reducing the helium film thickness of the X-ray extraction window 5 in this manner, the X-ray transmittance at the beam line 9 is increased, and the X-ray extraction efficiency is improved.

Of course, inside the helium pipe 13 is the exposure aligner 6.
As long as the device can be used in reduced pressure helium, reduced pressure helium may be used, and further improvement in X-ray extraction efficiency can be expected. Further, by using reduced pressure helium, the possibility of leakage from the X-ray extraction window 5 is reduced, and stable extraction of X-rays is possible. Although we have mainly described a metal film of beryllium for the X-ray extraction window 5, the same applies to inorganic films such as SiN film, SiC film, and BN film, and organic films such as polyimide and polyester.

The storage ring 1 and the beam line 13 are in an ultra-high vacuum of 10 -9 Torr, and the exposure aligner 6 is in the atmosphere. The ultra-high vacuum of 10-97 orr and the atmosphere are separated by an X-ray extraction window 1415. No.-X-ray extraction window 1
4 and the second X-ray extraction window 15 is a helium pipe 13.
The helium pipe 13 is filled with 1 atm helium with high X-ray transmittance. Furthermore, beryllium, which has relatively high strength, is used for the first X-ray extraction window 14, and an organic film with a thickness of about 1 μm is used for the second X-ray extraction window 15, which is not exposed to atmospheric pressure. This organic film is made of polyester, for example, and the helium pipe 1
It is fine as long as it does not escape from 3 and does not allow air to enter from the mask side. Since the X-ray extraction window 14, which is exposed to atmospheric pressure, is located near the X-ray reflection mirror 3, the beryllium thickness is similar to the X-ray extraction window 5 of the first embodiment. The X-ray extraction efficiency at the beam line 9 can be increased.
