However, in the projection exposure device, the light amount of the illumination light irradiated onto the substrate through the optical element has been designed to be uniformly distributed, but the lamps constituting the light source will deteriorate after a long time; and due to the amount of power supplied to the lamp, Due to variations, the amount of illumination light that is projected onto the substrate through the projection optical element varies.

Ptd $ 5 pages 200303970 V. Description of the invention (2) The accuracy of light quantity control is low. In addition, in a step and scan type projection exposure device, if the illumination light changes during the scanning exposure, an exposure shift occurs. When the amount of illumination light is too much, the scanning speed cannot keep up and the exposure amount exceeds. On the other hand, when the amount of illumination light is too small, the scanning speed must be slowed down and the scanning energy can be extremely reduced. Therefore, there is a proposal to set up a light source device, which can illuminate the illuminating light from the monitoring light source and keep the amount of illuminating illuminating light constant (please refer to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-3 2 7 8 2 6). The light source device is provided with a light guide (1 ightguide), which focuses the illumination light irradiated by the light source with a concave mirror, and then guides the incident object through the other end; and an optical fiber is divided by the light guide for monitoring use. The monitoring optical fiber introduces the illumination light irradiated from the light source into the light sensor, detects the light amount of the illumination light, and monitors the light amount of the illumination light irradiated from the light source. However, in the projection exposure device, since the light source and the illumination light are introduced into the light path of the subject, a filter such as a wavelength selection filter or a reduction filter is provided, and the illumination light is blocked at a predetermined time. In the case of the above-mentioned device structure, when the illumination light emitted by the light source is introduced into the light guide of the subject, and the structure of the optical fiber for monitoring is divided by the light guide, the optical path of the filter is inserted. When the shutter is opened or closed, the light quantity of the illuminating light detected by the light sensor is changed, and the time change (time degradation / deterioration) of the light source is added, so it is difficult to grasp and change the light quantity. In addition, the illumination light irradiated from the light source is introduced into the light guide of the subject, and then divided into the monitoring optical fiber, which also results in a loss of the amount of illumination light.

The amount of light; and a second light detection unit for detecting the amount of light of the second wavelength distribution, which is different from the light of the first wavelength distribution, of the light supplied from the light source. According to the light source element of the present invention, when the light source changes over time (long-term degradation), the deterioration of the light source varies depending on the wavelength. Monitoring the light source with a plurality of wavelengths can more accurately detect the deterioration of the light source. In addition, it is possible to accurately detect the deterioration of the light of a desired wavelength among the light emitted from the light source.

Ptd Page 10 200303970 V. Explanation of the invention (7) Resistors, which have low sensitivity photoresist or high photoresist. In this case, the exposure power needs to be changed according to the sensitivity characteristics of the photosensitive substrate, such as sensitivity. The exposure power can be changed by simply switching the wavelength range of the light irradiating the mask. At this time, since the amount of light emitted by the light source can be monitored with a plurality of wavelengths, the amount of light can also be detected when the wavelength range is switched. Especially in the scanning type exposure device, the exposure speed of the photosensitive substrate can be changed by changing the scanning speed of the photosensitive substrate. However, when using a high-sensitivity photoresist, it can be used because of the maximum scanning speed of the substrate table. Sensitivity is limited; when using a low-sensitivity photoresist, there is also a limitation from the viewpoint of increasing the workload. Therefore, it is possible to change the exposure power with only a single switching of the wavelength range, and it is not restricted by the maximum scanning speed of the substrate stage or the reduced workload, and it can support various photosensitive materials. The exposure device of the present invention is characterized in that a wavelength switching means is provided to switch the wavelength range of the light irradiating the mask according to the resolution of the pattern reproduced on the photosensitive substrate. According to the exposure device of the present invention, from the viewpoint of chromatic aberration correction of projection optics, because the wavelength range of the light used is narrow, high resolution can be achieved. For example, when a large exposure power is necessary, some resolutions need to be sacrificed. Exposure with a wide wavelength range; when high resolution is required, it is necessary to sacrifice some exposure power, workload, and exposure with a narrow wavelength range, that is, only the switching of the wavelength range can correspond to the various resolutions required degree. In addition, since the amount of light emitted by the light source can be monitored by a plurality of wavelengths, the amount of light can also be detected when the wavelength range is switched.

Description of the invention (9) Light source 1. Since the light source 1 is arranged at the first focal position of the elliptical mirror 2, the illumination beam emitted by the light source 1 is formed at the second focus of the elliptical mirror 2 via the reflection mirror 3 to form light including g-line (436 nm) and h-line (405 nm). Light source image of light and light in the wavelength region of i-line (365nm) light. That is, components other than those in the wavelength region of the g-line, h-line, and i-line that are unnecessary during exposure are removed when the elliptical mirror 2 and the reflecting mirror 3 reflect. A shutter 4 is provided at this second focus position. The shutter 4 is composed of an opening plate 4 a (refer to FIG. 2) arranged obliquely to the optical axis AX 1 and a shielding plate 4 b for shielding or opening the opening formed in the opening plate 4 a. The reason why the shutter 4 is arranged at the second focus position of the elliptical mirror 2 is that the illumination beam emitted from the light source 1 is collected here, and the shielding plate 4 b can cover the opening formed in the opening plate 4 a with a small amount of movement. The light quantity of the illumination light beam passing through the opening is rapidly changed to obtain a pulsed illumination light beam. A light absorbing plate 8a of a light absorbing member (light absorbing means) is arranged in the direction of the light leakage passing through the reflecting mirror 3. The light absorbing plate 8a absorbs light leakage transmitted through the reflecting mirror 3, and is provided to prevent the light leakage from causing thermal or optical effects (such as astigmatism) on the exposure device. The light absorbing plate 8a can be made of, for example, black alumite. The light absorption plate 8a is provided with a heat sink 9a as a heat radiation member. The heat sink 9a is provided with a plurality of heat radiating plates formed of a metal (such as aluminum or copper) having a high thermal conductivity. The light absorbing plate 8 absorbs heat generated when the light leaks through the mirror 3 and is emitted from the heat radiating plate. In addition, in the leaked light, in addition to the wavelength regions of the g-line light, the h-line light, and the i-line light, infrared light and other light in the visible range are also included. Figure 3 (a) shows the side of the shape of the light absorbing plate 8a and the heat sink 9a.

Description of the Invention (ίο) Figure, Figure 3 (b) is a plan view of Figure 3 (a). As shown in the figure, one end of an optical fiber (light guide means) 32 that guides the light leakage to the light sensors (detection means) 30a, 30b is provided at the light incident position of the light absorption plate 8a. That is, the light absorption plate 8a is provided with a through hole through which the optical fiber 32 is passed, and one end of the optical fiber 32 is arranged in the through hole. The other end of the optical fiber 32 is divided into two output ends. The light leakage from one output end passes through the filter (wavelength selection means) 3 8 a and enters the light sensor 3 0 a; the light leakage from the other output end passes through the filter (wavelength selection means) 38b. It enters the light sensor 30b. The filter 38a here is composed of three filters, that is, filters that pass g-line light, h-line light, and i-line, a dummy filter, a dummy filter, and a light reduction filter. The light can pass through a wavelength region including g-ray light, h-ray light, and i-ray light. In addition, the filter 3 8 b is a filter that can transmit g-line light, h-line light and i-line light through three filters, a filter that allows i-line light to pass through, and a light reduction filter The optical device is configured to transmit light including only an i-ray wavelength region. As described above, light leakage is monitored using a plurality of wavelengths. That is, the light sensor 30a is used to detect the g-line light'h-line light and the i-line light'is used to detect the i-ray light. The reason for this is that the long-term output of the light source 1 is reduced. Generally, short-wavelength light is reduced earlier (long-term degradation), and the types of photoresist are different, which makes the sensitivity to each wavelength different. That is, the sensitivity of the photoresist to the short wavelength is higher than the sensitivity to the long wavelength. When “g-ray light is detected, and the output of h-ray light and i-ray light” is controlled according to the detected output, the light quantity of the light source is still Unable to get proper exposure. Therefore, the output of the i-ray light is detected again, and the light of the light source is controlled according to the detected amount of the detected light.

In addition, when the sensitivity is from the short wavelength to the long wavelength, it is necessary to detect the g-line light, h-line light, and a slightly fixed photoresist. The detected output controls the light amount of the light source, and the output of 1-line light can be obtained. The amount of light detected by the photo sensors 30a, 30b is equal to the positive f-light amount. To control the amount of power, the power supply device is controlled (the power control sighs / holes are said to be controlled by the control signal of the control device 34, and the power supply is controlled by the power source). That is, according to the photosensors 30a and 30b, the power supply device 34 that supplies the light source 1 controls the power supply device 36, so that the light source signal ^^ is controlled by the power supply. The amount of light of 1 becomes desired. A beam is formed at the second focal position of the elliptical mirror 2. The relay lens 5 (relay lens) transforms the divergent light of the light source image into the wavelength selective filter 6a. The wavelength selection is about ^ parallel beams, and the beams in the desired wavelength range are for the optical path (the structure of the light-optic device is only transmitted. Also, the wavelength selection filter 6a is the same as ^ X1). The optical filter 6b is installed at the same time as Bolu and Gyoulu. Any one of these wavelength selectors 6a and 6b-according to the optical filter 6a-and the main control system 20 in Fig. 2 controls the driving device.丄 8 optical path configuration. Any one of the selective optical devices 6a and 6b is arranged in the optical path. Selecting the wavelength In this embodiment, the wavelength selection filter 6a only transmits light in the long-range region; the wavelength selection filter 6b can transmit light in the wavelength region including the g-line wave and the i-line light. In this way, as in this embodiment, the & line, the wavelength selection chirp, and the optical devices 6a, 6b are arranged to switch the wavelength amplitude of the light shining on the light curtain. In addition, the wavelength selection filters 6a ,, and 6 = Emission f mask is used as the so-called wavelength amplitude switching means of the present invention. 'P phase

Description of the invention (12) Here, the spectrum of light transmitted through the wavelength-selective filters 6 a and 6 b will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the spectrum of the transmitted wavelength-selective filters 6 a and 6 b. . As shown in Figure 4, the light emitted by light source 1 has a broad wavelength range of approximately 3 0 ~ 6 0 0 // m, and its spectrum includes complex light peaks (bright lines) among the light emitted by light source 1, The wavelength components unnecessary for the exposure are removed when the elliptical mirror 2 and the reflecting mirror 3 reflect, as described above. When the light unnecessary for the exposure is removed, when it enters the wavelength selection filter 6a disposed in the optical path, the light including the i-line wavelength width Δλΐ shown in FIG. 4 is transmitted. On the other hand, when the wavelength selection filter 6 b is arranged in the optical path, light including the wavelength width Δ λ 2 of the g line, the h line, and the i line is transmitted. The power of the light transmitted through the wavelength selection filter 6a is the integral of the spectrum within the wavelength range Δλΐ; the power of the light transmitted through the wavelength selection filter 6b is the integral of the spectrum within the wavelength range Δλ2. Here, as shown in FIG. 4, the respective spectra of the g-line, the h-line, and the i-line have approximately the same distribution, so the power of the light transmitted through the wavelength-selective filter 6 a and the light transmitted through the wavelength-selective filter 6 b The ratio of power is roughly 1 to 3. As described above, in this embodiment, it is assumed that a photoresist having a sensitivity of 20 m j / cm 2 or a resin resist having a sensitivity of 60 m j / cm 2 is coated on the substrate P. The sensitivity ratio of these is 1 to 3. Therefore, when a high-sensitivity photoresist is applied to the substrate P, a wavelength selective filter 6 a having a low power for transmitting light is arranged on the optical path to reduce the exposure power. When a resin resist having a low sensitivity is applied, a wavelength selective filter 6b having a high power for transmitting light is arranged on the optical path to increase the exposure power. The above-mentioned method makes it possible to perform exposure at a constant moving speed (maximum speed: 300 mm / sec) of the substrate table PS on which the substrate P is mounted. So, in

According to the light, even when the wavelength range of the light irradiating the substrate p is switched, light can be measured. From the viewpoint of chromatic aberration correction of the projection optical system, it is known that higher wavelength resolution can be achieved by using a narrower wavelength range. Because "when high exposure power is required, configure wavelength selection on the optical path to sacrifice some resolution, and use a wider wavelength range. If you need high resolution, configure wavelength selection on the optical path = 6 a. Slightly sacrifice the exposure power and even the operating energy to select the filter field and then perform the exposure. As mentioned above, only a single wavelength ^ wave ί 2 I is used to correspond to the required resolutions.

The control for arranging the light reduction filter 7 in the optical path is performed by the main control system in FIG. 2 and the control driving device 18. A light absorbing plate 8b is disposed as a light absorbing member in the direction in which the light reflected by the light reduction filter 7 proceeds. The light absorption plate 8b absorbs the reflected light of the light reduction filter 7, and is provided to prevent the influence of the reflected light on the heat of the exposure device and the optical influence (such as astigmatism). Similarly to the light absorbing plate 8a, the light absorbing plate 8b is made of black alumite. The light absorbing plate 8b is provided with a heat sink 9b as a heat radiating member. The heat sink is formed by a plurality of heat radiating plates made of a metal having a high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum or copper. When the light absorption plate 8b absorbs the light reflected from the light reduction filter 7, the heat generated is emitted through the heat radiation plate.
