Description

校正光束圖案化的方向和位置的方法 Method of correcting the direction and position of beam patterning

本發明是有關於一種校正光束圖案化的方向和位置的方法,並且更具體而言,是有關於一種在通過光束圖案化在襯底上製作特定的圖案的過程中襯底發生變形時校正光束圖案化的方向和位置的方法。 The present invention relates to a method of correcting the direction and position of beam patterning, and more particularly to a correcting beam when a substrate is deformed during the process of patterning a particular pattern on a substrate by beam patterning. The method of patterning the direction and position.

噴墨和光束輻射技術用於在襯底上製作特定的圖案。 Ink jet and beam radiation techniques are used to create a specific pattern on a substrate.

由於光束圖案化技術可以通過光束輻射在襯底的預期部分上製作特定的圖案並且具有有可能精確且快速地應用於較大區域的優勢,因此所述技術是廣泛地使用的。 The technique is widely used because the beam patterning technique can make a specific pattern on the intended portion of the substrate by beam radiation and has the advantage of being able to apply to a larger area accurately and quickly.

一般的雷射圖案化裝置包含:處理腔室;襯底傳送單元,其安裝在處理腔室中,支撐襯底並且在處理進行的方向上水平地移動襯底;以及安裝在處理腔室的上部部分並且發射光束的模組。來自處理腔室中的光束模組的光束可以輻射到裝載到雷射圖案化裝置的處理腔室中的襯底,以在襯底的預期部分上執行圖案化處理。 A general laser patterning apparatus includes: a processing chamber; a substrate transfer unit installed in the processing chamber, supporting the substrate and horizontally moving the substrate in a direction in which the process is performed; and being mounted on an upper portion of the processing chamber A module that partially and emits a beam of light. A beam of light from a beam module in the processing chamber can be radiated to a substrate loaded into a processing chamber of the laser patterning device to perform a patterning process on a desired portion of the substrate.

然而,在執行圖案化處理之前襯底可能由於熱或外部物理力量而變形,並且當在這種變形襯底上執行圖案化處理時,存在無法精確地進行圖案化的局限性。 However, the substrate may be deformed due to heat or external physical force before performing the patterning process, and when patterning processing is performed on such a deformed substrate, there is a limitation that patterning cannot be accurately performed.

也就是說,當通過圖案化裝置中的光束輻射進行圖案化時,光束的輻射可在每個區段上正常執行,前提是裝載的襯底是具有普通形狀而沒有變形的襯底1,如圖1A中所示。然而,當在執行先前處理時襯底已變形時,存在光束無法正確地輻射到變形的襯底上的局限性,如圖1B中所示。由於通常僅考慮變形襯底1'的豎直收縮/膨脹且不考慮光束的輻射(圖案化)的方向性,因此無法在精確位置上進行圖案化。 That is, when patterning by beam radiation in the patterning device, the radiation of the beam can be normally performed on each segment, provided that the loaded substrate is a substrate 1 having a normal shape without deformation, such as This is shown in Figure 1A. However, when the substrate has been deformed while performing the previous processing, there is a limitation that the light beam cannot be properly radiated onto the deformed substrate, as shown in FIG. 1B. Since the vertical contraction/expansion of the deformed substrate 1' is generally considered and the directivity of the radiation (patterning) of the light beam is not considered, patterning at a precise position cannot be performed.

(專利文獻1)韓國專利公開案號2012-0131338。 (Patent Document 1) Korean Patent Publication No. 2012-0131338.

為了解決上述限制,當在襯底上執行圖案化處理時,對光束的圖案化方向和圖案化位置進行校正以用於精確輻射。並且,即使襯底的形狀由於膨脹或收縮發生變形,也能正確地執行光束的輻射。並且,即使襯底的形狀發生變化,光束的輻射方向也不會出錯。 In order to solve the above limitation, when the patterning process is performed on the substrate, the patterning direction and the patterning position of the light beam are corrected for precise radiation. Also, even if the shape of the substrate is deformed due to expansion or contraction, the radiation of the light beam can be correctly performed. Also, even if the shape of the substrate changes, the radiation direction of the light beam does not go wrong.

圖2示出了根據本發明的一個實施例的校正圖案化座標並且執行圖案化的襯底處理裝置。 2 illustrates a substrate processing apparatus that corrects patterned features and performs patterning in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

執行光束圖案化的襯底處理裝置在襯底上掃描光束並且在襯底S上執行圖案化處理。所述襯底處理裝置包含:處理腔室100;襯底傳送單元110,其安裝在處理腔室100中,支撐襯底S,並且水平地向前和向後移動襯底S;以及安裝在處理腔室100的一 側並且發射光束的光束模組200,所述光束模組面向襯底傳送單元110。 A substrate processing apparatus that performs beam patterning scans a light beam on a substrate and performs a patterning process on the substrate S. The substrate processing apparatus includes: a processing chamber 100; a substrate transfer unit 110 installed in the processing chamber 100, supporting the substrate S, and moving the substrate S horizontally forward and backward; and being mounted in the processing chamber One of the rooms 100 A beam module 200 that side and emits a beam of light, the beam module facing the substrate transfer unit 110.

襯底傳送單元110可包含放置襯底的襯底平臺,並且允許隨著襯底平臺的移動在襯底的表面上順序地進行光束圖案化。由於除在X和Y方向上移動之外,所述平臺也具有可旋轉配置,所以它可以旋轉。 The substrate transfer unit 110 may include a substrate platform on which the substrate is placed, and allows beam patterning to be sequentially performed on the surface of the substrate as the substrate platform moves. Since the platform also has a rotatable configuration in addition to moving in the X and Y directions, it can be rotated.

並且,具有電荷耦合裝置(charge coupled device;CCD)感測器的視覺攝像機(未圖示)佈置在所述處理腔室中。所述視覺攝像機(未圖示)可捕獲襯底並且識別在襯底上形成的對齊標記的位置。 Also, a vision camera (not shown) having a charge coupled device (CCD) sensor is disposed in the processing chamber. The vision camera (not shown) can capture the substrate and identify the location of the alignment marks formed on the substrate.

並且,控制單元(未圖示)檢查裝載到腔室中的襯底的變形水平,校正光束圖案化範圍,根據校正值移動襯底並且執行光束輻射。 And, a control unit (not shown) checks the deformation level of the substrate loaded into the chamber, corrects the beam patterning range, moves the substrate according to the correction value, and performs beam irradiation.

下文簡單描述通過使用具有這種配置的襯底處理裝置的圖案化襯底的過程。首先,當襯底S被裝載到處理腔室100中並且放置在襯底傳送單元110上時,通過使用視覺攝像機(未圖示)來傳送襯底傳送單元110以與對齊標記匹配以便對齊襯底S。當完成襯底對齊時,將雷射光束輻射到襯底S上。在襯底由襯底傳送單元110水平地向前和向後移動時,雷射光束輻射到所述襯底上。 A process of patterning a substrate by using a substrate processing apparatus having such a configuration will be briefly described below. First, when the substrate S is loaded into the processing chamber 100 and placed on the substrate transfer unit 110, the substrate transfer unit 110 is transferred by using a vision camera (not shown) to match the alignment marks to align the substrates. S. When the substrate alignment is completed, the laser beam is radiated onto the substrate S. The laser beam is radiated onto the substrate as the substrate is moved horizontally forward and backward by the substrate transfer unit 110.

當輻射雷射光束時,雷射光束僅輻射到圖案化目標區域以執行選擇性圖案化。舉例來說,通過對光束執行能夠控制光束振盪的觸發,有可能僅將雷射光束輻射到在光束模組下方移動的襯底的圖案化目標區域。也就是說,光束模組簡單地具有接收到電力的就緒狀態,並且準備好執行雷射振盪。控制單元可以將觸 發信號發送到光束模組以在襯底的圖案化目標區域被放置在光束模組的光束輻射路徑上時執行選擇性輻射。有可能通過其他技術執行圖案化。 When the laser beam is irradiated, the laser beam is only radiated to the patterned target area to perform selective patterning. For example, by performing a trigger on the beam that is capable of controlling beam oscillation, it is possible to radiate only the laser beam to the patterned target area of the substrate moving beneath the beam module. That is, the beam module simply has a ready state to receive power and is ready to perform laser oscillations. Control unit can touch Signaling is sent to the beam module to perform selective radiation when the patterned target area of the substrate is placed on the beam path of the beam module. It is possible to perform patterning by other techniques.

並且,當裝載到處理腔室中的襯底具有由於例如熱或外部物理力量等原因的變形形狀時,預設圖案化起始範圍和預設圖案化結束範圍並不精確地與變形襯底匹配,並且因此圖案化是在非預期方向上執行的。因此,本發明詳細描述了如何考慮到這種襯底變形水平並且通過參考圖3的控制單元校正圖案化方向。 And, when the substrate loaded into the processing chamber has a deformed shape due to, for example, heat or external physical force, etc., the preset patterning start range and the preset patterning end range do not accurately match the deformed substrate And thus the patterning is performed in an unintended direction. Accordingly, the present invention describes in detail how such a substrate deformation level is considered and the patterning direction is corrected by referring to the control unit of FIG.

圖3是根據本發明的一個實施例的校正雷射光束的圖案化方向和圖案化位置的過程的流程圖。 3 is a flow chart of a process of correcting a patterning direction and a patterned position of a laser beam, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

在下文中,襯底具有四個圖案化區段,並且將描述如何在每個圖案化區段上執行光束的輻射的一個實例。也就是說,當襯底移動且其第一區段被放置於固定光束模組下方時,輻射光束並且襯底往復移動以在第一區段上執行圖案化,並且隨後在第二區段、第三區段和第四區段上執行圖案化。除了將要在下文中描述的四個圖案化區段之外,本發明的實施例也將能夠應用於具有單個圖案化區段或多個圖案化區段的襯底。 Hereinafter, the substrate has four patterned segments, and one example of how the radiation of the light beam is performed on each of the patterned segments will be described. That is, as the substrate moves and its first section is placed under the fixed beam module, the beam of radiation is radiated and the substrate reciprocates to perform patterning on the first segment, and then in the second segment, Patterning is performed on the third and fourth sections. In addition to the four patterned segments to be described below, embodiments of the present invention will also be applicable to substrates having a single patterned segment or multiple patterned segments.

首先,在過程S310中將圖案化目標襯底裝載到處理腔室中。由於圖案化目標襯底是在先前過程中用熱或外部物理力量製造的,因此它可能具有不同於原始襯底的變形形狀。 First, the patterned target substrate is loaded into the processing chamber in process S310. Since the patterned target substrate is fabricated with heat or external physical force in a previous process, it may have a deformed shape different from the original substrate.

當將圖案化目標襯底裝載到處理腔室中時,在過程S320中,控制單元基於關於非變形襯底形狀的資訊創建虛擬的非變形襯底模型,所述資訊表示作為圖案化目標襯底變形之前的襯底的非變形襯底的形狀。為了創建非變形襯底模型,當將圖案化目標 襯底放到處理腔室中時,控制單元首先檢查關於圖案化目標襯底的變形前襯底的資訊(被稱作「非變形襯底形狀資訊」)。非變形襯底形狀資訊是關於在受到熱或外部物理力量影響之前或在變形出現之前的襯底的形狀資訊。可根據預先存儲此類非變形襯底形狀資訊的資料庫(database,DB)或通過從先前處理裝置接收關於裝載到圖案化處理腔室中的圖案化目標襯底的變形前襯底的形狀資訊檢查處理腔室。 When the patterned target substrate is loaded into the processing chamber, in process S320, the control unit creates a virtual non-deformed substrate model based on information about the shape of the non-deformed substrate, the information representation being a patterned target substrate The shape of the non-deformed substrate of the substrate before deformation. In order to create a non-deformed substrate model, when the target is to be patterned When the substrate is placed in the processing chamber, the control unit first checks information about the substrate before deformation of the patterned target substrate (referred to as "non-deformed substrate shape information"). Non-deformed substrate shape information is information about the shape of the substrate before it is affected by heat or external physical forces or before deformation occurs. The shape information of the pre-deformed substrate regarding the pre-deformed substrate loaded into the patterned processing substrate may be received from a previous processing device according to a database (database) that stores such non-deformed substrate shape information in advance. Check the processing chamber.

非變形襯底形狀資訊包含關於非變形襯底的每一側的位置和長度、圖案化起始側、圖案化結束側、非變形襯底的對齊標記座標和光束圖案化區段的數目中的至少一個的資訊。如圖4中所示,非變形襯底的每一側的位置是每一側的位置座標,並且每一側的長度包含非變形襯底的右側長度d1、左側長度d2、上側長度d3和下側長度d4。並且,圖案化起始側是光束圖案化起始於的側,且圖案化結束側是在圖案化完成之後圖案化結束於的側。舉例來說,當在襯底水平地從右側移動到左側時在圖4中執行圖案化時,右側d1變為圖案化起始側而左側d2變為圖案化結束側。並且,非變形襯底形狀資訊包含形成在非變形襯底上的多個對齊標記座標。舉例來說,當襯底被分成各自包含一個對齊標記的四個象限時,放置在第一象限上的第一對齊標記M1具有作為非變形襯底形狀資訊的第一對齊標記座標值x1、y1。並且,光束圖案化區段的數目表示當襯底被分成區段以輻射光束並且執行圖案化時的區段的數目。舉例來說,如圖4中所示,當襯底被分成四個區段S1到S4並且順序執行光束輻射時,光束圖案化區段的數目是四個。 The non-deformed substrate shape information includes information on the position and length of each side of the non-deformed substrate, the patterning start side, the patterning end side, the alignment mark coordinates of the non-deformed substrate, and the number of beam patterning sections. At least one piece of information. As shown in FIG. 4, the position of each side of the non-deformed substrate is the position coordinate of each side, and the length of each side includes the right side length d1, the left side length d2, the upper side length d3, and the lower side of the non-deformed substrate. Side length d4. And, the patterning start side is the side from which the beam patterning starts, and the patterning end side is the side where the patterning ends after the patterning is completed. For example, when patterning is performed in FIG. 4 while the substrate is horizontally moved from the right side to the left side, the right side d1 becomes the patterning start side and the left side d2 becomes the patterning end side. And, the non-deformed substrate shape information includes a plurality of alignment mark coordinates formed on the non-deformed substrate. For example, when the substrate is divided into four quadrants each including an alignment mark, the first alignment mark M1 placed on the first quadrant has the first alignment mark coordinate values x1, y1 as non-deformed substrate shape information. . And, the number of beam patterning sections represents the number of sections when the substrate is divided into sections to radiate the light beam and patterning is performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the substrate is divided into four segments S1 to S4 and beam radiation is sequentially performed, the number of beam patterning segments is four.

在檢查非變形襯底形狀資訊之後,控制單元創建如圖5中所示的非變形襯底模型。創建了非變形襯底模型,所述非變形襯底模型是具有與從非變形襯底形狀資訊中獲得的每一側的長度相同的尺寸的虛擬襯底模型。此外,基於非變形襯底形狀資訊的對齊標記座標,將對齊標記(在下文中,被稱作「非變形對齊標記」)放置在非變形襯底模型上的。因此,通過使用實際變形前襯底的非變形襯底形狀資訊,控制單元創建具有與圖5中所示相同的形狀的虛擬襯底模型。 After examining the non-deformed substrate shape information, the control unit creates a non-deformed substrate model as shown in FIG. A non-deformed substrate model is created, which is a virtual substrate model having the same dimensions as the length of each side obtained from the non-deformed substrate shape information. Further, based on the alignment mark coordinates of the non-deformed substrate shape information, an alignment mark (hereinafter, referred to as a "non-deformation alignment mark") is placed on the non-deformed substrate model. Therefore, by using the non-deformed substrate shape information of the substrate before actual deformation, the control unit creates a virtual substrate model having the same shape as that shown in FIG.

在創建非變形襯底模型之後,對裝載到處理腔室中的圖案化目標襯底的變形水平進行檢查,以在(圖3的)過程S320中創建虛擬變形襯底模型。 After the non-deformed substrate model is created, the level of deformation of the patterned target substrate loaded into the processing chamber is examined to create a virtual deformed substrate model in process S320 (of FIG. 3).

通過使用具有CCD感測器的視覺攝像機捕獲在裝載到處理腔室中的圖案化目標襯底上製成的每個對齊標記,並且從所捕獲的圖像中讀取對齊標記(在下文中,被稱作「變形對齊標記」)。將以此方式讀取的變形對齊標記的座標與在非變形襯底模型上形成的非變形對齊標記進行比較,以測量對齊標記之間的變形水平。為了進行參考,由於對齊標記的座標是從非變形襯底形狀資訊中獲得的,所以視覺攝像機捕獲對齊標記被放置於的點。視覺攝像機的數目可與對齊標記的數目相同。 Each alignment mark made on a patterned target substrate loaded into a processing chamber is captured by using a vision camera having a CCD sensor, and an alignment mark is read from the captured image (hereinafter, Called "deformation alignment mark"). The coordinates of the deformation alignment marks read in this way are compared with the non-deformation alignment marks formed on the non-deformed substrate model to measure the level of deformation between the alignment marks. For reference, since the coordinates of the alignment mark are obtained from the non-deformed substrate shape information, the visual camera captures the point at which the alignment mark is placed. The number of visual cameras can be the same as the number of alignment marks.

如果在先前處理裝置執行處理之後襯底由於熱或外部物理力量擴張或收縮,那麼在對齊標記之間將出現變形。 If the substrate expands or contracts due to heat or external physical forces after the previous processing device performs the process, a deformation will occur between the alignment marks.

圖6是通過用視覺攝像機捕獲圖案化目標襯底的對齊標記獲得的圖像的放大視圖。由於視覺攝像機從非變形襯底形狀資訊中獲得對齊標記(非變形對齊標記)將被放置於的座標,因此 所述攝像機經放置並且進行捕獲以便使在襯底變形之前刻在襯底中的非變形對齊標記的中心點放置在圖像的中心。然而,當圖案化目標襯底具有由於熱或外部物理力量的變形形狀時,對齊標記的位置也發生變化。舉例來說,如圖6中所示,當襯底的第一象限向上擴張和變形時,在第一象限上製作的第一對齊標記M1也被放置在向上移動的部分上。刻在圖案化目標襯底中的第一對齊標記(變形的第一對齊標記)並不放置在由第一視覺攝像機cam1拍攝的圖像的中心,而是具有向上移動的位置。因此,有可能測量由第一視覺攝像機cam1捕獲的圖像的中心點(非變形的第一對齊標記的中心點)與變形的第一對齊標記的中心點之間的垂直距離dy1來作為標記變形水平。為了進行參考,取決於光束的長度方向,標記變形水平可受到不同測量。當假定通過採用襯底的垂直軸作為長度方向進行光束的輻射時,可將非變形對齊標記與變形對齊標記之間的垂直距離測量作為標記變形水平,並且反之,當假定通過採用襯底的水平軸作為長度方向進行光束的輻射時,可將非變形對齊標記與變形對齊標記之間的水平距離測量作為標記變形水平。 Figure 6 is an enlarged view of an image obtained by capturing an alignment mark of a patterned target substrate with a visual camera. Since the vision camera obtains the coordinates from which the alignment marks (non-deformed alignment marks) will be placed from the non-deformed substrate shape information, The camera is placed and captured so that the center point of the non-deformed alignment mark engraved in the substrate before the substrate is deformed is placed at the center of the image. However, when the patterned target substrate has a deformed shape due to heat or external physical force, the position of the alignment mark also changes. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the first quadrant of the substrate is expanded and deformed upward, the first alignment mark M1 fabricated on the first quadrant is also placed on the upwardly moving portion. The first alignment mark (the deformed first alignment mark) engraved in the patterned target substrate is not placed at the center of the image taken by the first vision camera cam1, but has a position to move upward. Therefore, it is possible to measure the vertical distance dy1 between the center point of the image captured by the first vision camera cam1 (the center point of the non-deformed first alignment mark) and the center point of the deformed first alignment mark as the mark deformation Level. For reference, depending on the length direction of the beam, the level of mark deformation can be subject to different measurements. When it is assumed that the radiation of the light beam is performed by using the vertical axis of the substrate as the length direction, the vertical distance between the non-deformed alignment mark and the deformation alignment mark can be measured as the mark deformation level, and conversely, when the level of the substrate is assumed to be adopted When the axis radiates as a beam in the longitudinal direction, the horizontal distance between the non-deformed alignment mark and the deformation alignment mark can be measured as the mark deformation level.

在測量在圖案化目標襯底的每個象限上製作的對齊標記的標記變形水平之後,在(圖3的)過程S330中基於標記變形水平創建變形襯底模型。從非變形襯底模型中創建變形襯底模型,所述變形襯底模型具有通過擴張或收縮圖案化起始於的圖案化起始側和圖案化結束於的圖案化結束側而獲得的圖案化變形起始側和圖案化變形結束側。 After measuring the mark deformation level of the alignment mark made on each quadrant of the patterned target substrate, the deformed substrate model is created based on the mark deformation level in the process S330 (of FIG. 3). A deformed substrate model is created from a non-deformed substrate model having a patterning start side starting from expansion or contraction patterning and patterning obtained by patterning the end side of the patterning end The deformation start side and the patterned deformation end side.

舉例來說,當第一象限I的第一對齊標記M1的變形水平 dy1是+8時,有可能將非變形襯底模型的第一象限所屬於的變形前圖案化起始側(右側)的上端增大+8(如圖7中所示),並且類似地,當第四象限IV的第四對齊標記M4的變形水平dy4是+3時,有可能將非變形襯底模型的第四象限IV所屬於的圖案化起始側(右側)的下端增大+3。因此,有可能創建變形圖案化起始側(在下文中,被稱作「圖案化變形起始端」)。類似地,形成第二象限II和第三象限III的圖案化結束側(左側)也可創建取決於每個標記的變形水平而變形的圖案化變形結束側。因此,如圖7中所示,有可能創建具有圖案化變形起始側和圖案化變形結束側的變形襯底模型。為了進行參考,有可能通過連接圖案化變形起始端和圖案化變形結束側的兩端而創建變形襯底模型。 For example, the deformation level of the first alignment mark M1 of the first quadrant I When dy1 is +8, it is possible to increase the upper end of the pre-deformation start side (right side) to which the first quadrant of the non-deformed substrate model belongs (+ as shown in FIG. 7), and similarly, When the deformation level dy4 of the fourth alignment mark M4 of the fourth quadrant IV is +3, it is possible to increase the lower end of the patterned start side (right side) to which the fourth quadrant IV of the non-deformed substrate model belongs by +3 . Therefore, it is possible to create a deformed patterning start side (hereinafter, referred to as "patterned deformation start end"). Similarly, the patterning end side (left side) forming the second quadrant II and the third quadrant III can also create a patterned deformation end side that is deformed depending on the deformation level of each mark. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, it is possible to create a deformed substrate model having a patterned deformation start side and a patterned deformation end side. For reference, it is possible to create a deformed substrate model by joining the two ends of the patterned deformation start end and the patterned deformation end side.

在創建變形襯底模型之後,在(圖3的)過程S340中計算作為圖案化區段起始側的中心點的圖案化區段起始點以及作為圖案化區段結束側的中心點的圖案化區段結束點,其中通過使用非變形襯底形狀資訊在變形襯底模型的每個區段上執行光束的圖案化。在示出非變形襯底模型和變形襯底模型的圖8中,為了描述上述過程,假定非變形襯底模型的圖案化起始側不具有變形,並且僅有第一象限I的圖案化起始側發生變形以形成變形襯底模型。也就是說,假定變形襯底模型的圖案化變形起始側從非變形襯底模型的圖案化起始側向上擴張+8並且向下擴張+3。並且,假定變形襯底模型的圖案化變形結束側具有與沒有擴張或收縮的非變形襯底模型的圖案化結束側相同的位置和尺寸。 After the deformed substrate model is created, the patterned segment start point as the center point of the start side of the patterned segment and the pattern as the center point of the end side of the patterned segment are calculated in the process S340 (of FIG. 3) The segment end point is where the patterning of the beam is performed on each segment of the deformed substrate model by using non-deformed substrate shape information. In Fig. 8 showing a non-deformed substrate model and a deformed substrate model, in order to describe the above process, it is assumed that the patterned starting side of the non-deformed substrate model has no deformation, and only the patterning of the first quadrant I is from The starting side is deformed to form a deformed substrate model. That is, it is assumed that the patterned deformation starting side of the deformed substrate model is expanded upward by +8 from the patterned starting side of the non-deformed substrate model and expanded downward by +3. Also, it is assumed that the patterned deformation end side of the deformed substrate model has the same position and size as the patterned end side of the non-deformed substrate model which is not expanded or contracted.

根據非變形襯底形狀資訊假定光束圖案化區段的數目是四個,並且描述計算圖8的模型中的圖案化起始點和圖案化結束 點的過程。 The number of beam patterning segments is assumed to be four according to the non-deformed substrate shape information, and the calculation of the patterning start point and the end of the pattern in the model of FIG. 8 is described. The process of the point.

首先,描述了如何計算圖案化起始點。 First, it describes how to calculate the starting point of the patterning.

變形襯底模型的圖案化變形起始側的整個長度被均勻地分成與光束圖案化區段的數目相同的四個部分,並且通過劃分獲得的側面的每個區域被計算作為圖案化區段起始側的位置。因此,計算四個圖案化區段起始側S1'到S4'的位置。由於非變形襯底的圖案化起始側是變形的,所以變形襯底模型的每個圖案化區段起始側具有與非變形襯底模型的每個圖案化區段起始側相比較大的值。每個圖案化區段起始側的中心點被確定為對應的圖案化區段起始端的起始點(在下文中,被稱作「圖案化區段起始點」)。因此,有可能確定變形襯底模型的第一區段的圖案化起始點B1、第二區段的圖案化起始點B2、第三區段的圖案化起始點B3以及第四區段的圖案化起始點B4。 The entire length of the patterned deformation start side of the deformed substrate model is uniformly divided into four portions identical to the number of beam patterning sections, and each area of the side surface obtained by the division is calculated as a patterning section The position on the starting side. Therefore, the positions of the four patterned segment start sides S1' to S4' are calculated. Since the patterned starting side of the non-deformed substrate is deformed, the starting side of each patterned segment of the deformed substrate model has a larger than the starting side of each patterned segment of the non-deformed substrate model Value. The center point of the start side of each patterned segment is determined as the starting point of the beginning of the corresponding patterned segment (hereinafter, referred to as "patterned segment starting point"). Therefore, it is possible to determine the patterned starting point B1 of the first segment of the deformed substrate model, the patterned starting point B2 of the second segment, the patterned starting point B3 of the third segment, and the fourth segment The starting point B4 is patterned.

類似地,通過將圖案化變形結束側均勻地劃分為與光束圖案化區段的數目相同的四個部分,有可能根據通過劃分獲得的每個圖案化區段結束側計算圖案化區段結束點E1到E4。 Similarly, by uniformly dividing the patterned deformation end side into four portions identical to the number of beam patterning sections, it is possible to calculate the patterning section end point from each patterned section end side obtained by division. E1 to E4.

每個區段的起始點和結束點用於從每個區段的起始點向包含其右側和左側區段的一定範圍內輻射光束。也就是說,本發明的實施例執行從特定區段的起始點向對應區段的結束點的光束輻射。舉例來說,當光束輻射到第一區段時,襯底移動使得光束模組的中心點從第一區段的圖案化起始點B1移動到圖案化結束點E1,並且執行光束圖案化。 The start and end points of each segment are used to radiate a beam from a starting point of each segment to a range containing its right and left segments. That is, embodiments of the present invention perform beam radiation from a starting point of a particular segment to an ending point of a corresponding segment. For example, when the beam is radiated to the first segment, the substrate moves such that the center point of the beam module moves from the patterned starting point B1 of the first segment to the patterning end point E1, and beam patterning is performed.

為此目的,當在襯底的每個區段上執行圖案化過程時,應確定支撐襯底的襯底平臺的行進方向。為此目的,在過程S350 中,考慮圖案化區段起始點與圖案化區段結束點之間的斜率來計算每個區段的圖案化起始襯底位置。 For this purpose, when the patterning process is performed on each section of the substrate, the direction of travel of the substrate platform supporting the substrate should be determined. For this purpose, in process S350 The position of the patterned starting substrate of each segment is calculated considering the slope between the starting point of the patterned segment and the ending point of the patterned segment.

具體而言,首先計算連接圖案化區段起始點與圖案化區段結束點的傾角。參考圖8的變形襯底模型,第一區段找到將圖案化區段起始點B1連接到圖案化區段結束點E1的傾斜線L1,並且隨後找到傾斜線的傾角θ。也就是說,如圖9中所示,找到由圖案化區段起始點B1與圖案化區段結束點E1之間的高度差造成的傾角θ。 Specifically, the inclination of the starting point of the connected patterning section and the ending point of the patterned section is first calculated. Referring to the deformed substrate model of FIG. 8, the first section finds the oblique line L1 that connects the patterned segment start point B1 to the patterned segment end point E1, and then finds the inclination angle θ of the oblique line. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the inclination angle θ caused by the difference in height between the patterning section start point B1 and the patterning section end point E1 is found.

在計算傾角之後,如圖10B中所示,襯底狀態按所計算的傾角旋轉。按傾角旋轉襯底狀態意味著從支撐襯底的平臺的中心點按傾角旋轉襯底平臺。通過此類旋轉,襯底平行於非變形襯底模型的圖案化方向而旋轉,例如,按傾角旋轉,使得襯底在垂直於光束線的方向上移動。非變形襯底模型的圖案化方向意味著當在變形之前襯底具有正常的襯底形狀時的圖案化方向。 After calculating the tilt angle, as shown in FIG. 10B, the substrate state is rotated at the calculated tilt angle. Rotating the substrate state at an angle of inclination means rotating the substrate platform at an oblique angle from the center point of the platform supporting the substrate. By such rotation, the substrate rotates parallel to the patterning direction of the non-deformed substrate model, for example, by tilting, such that the substrate moves in a direction perpendicular to the beamline. The patterning direction of the non-deformed substrate model means the patterning direction when the substrate has a normal substrate shape before deformation.

當由於圖案化區段起始點B1和圖案化區段結束點E1之間的高度差產生的傾角θ具有正(+)值時,有可能通過順時針旋轉來移動襯底使其變為垂直於光束線,並且當傾角θ具有負(-)值時,有可能通過逆時針旋轉來移動襯底使其變為垂直於光束線。 When the inclination angle θ due to the difference in height between the patterning section start point B1 and the patterning section end point E1 has a positive (+) value, it is possible to move the substrate to be vertical by clockwise rotation. On the beam line, and when the tilt angle θ has a negative (-) value, it is possible to move the substrate by counterclockwise rotation to become perpendicular to the beam line.

在通過平臺旋轉進行校正之後,通過按取決於旋轉的圖案化區段起始點和圖案化區段結束點的變化水平校正座標值來確定每個區段的最後一個取決於區段的圖案化起始襯底位置。在襯底平臺旋轉之後,計算出的圖案化區段起始點和計算出的圖案化區段結束點應該也具有旋轉值,並且因此所述值得到校正。 After correction by platform rotation, the last one of each segment is determined by the patterning of the segment by correcting the coordinate value by the level of change of the patterning segment starting point and the patterning segment ending point depending on the rotation. Starting substrate position. After the substrate platform is rotated, the calculated patterned segment start point and the calculated patterned segment end point should also have a rotation value, and thus the value is corrected.

舉例來說,最初放置在圖10A的襯底平臺上的襯底的第 一區段的圖案化區段起始點座標Xa、Yb應該被校正到由於圖10B的旋轉的旋轉起始點座標Xa'、Yb',但是仍然具有先前計算出的位置Xa、Yb。因此,通過按由於旋轉的圖案化區段起始點的變化水平(誤差值)和圖案化區段結束點的變化水平移動座標值,將座標Xa'、Yb'確定為每個區段的最後一個圖案化起始襯底位置和圖案化結束襯底位置。 For example, the first substrate placed on the substrate platform of Figure 10A The patterned segment start point coordinates Xa, Yb of a segment should be corrected to the rotation start point coordinates Xa', Yb' due to the rotation of FIG. 10B, but still have the previously calculated positions Xa, Yb. Therefore, by moving the coordinate value by the level of change (error value) of the starting point of the patterned segment due to the rotation and the change level of the end point of the patterned segment, the coordinates Xa', Yb' are determined as the last of each segment. A patterned starting substrate position and a patterned end substrate position.

當基於每個區段的計算出的圖案化起始襯底位置和圖案化結束襯底位置執行每個區段的圖案化時,形成關於每個區段的雷射圖案化的從每個圖案化起始點到每個圖案化結束點的不同的圖案化方向性,並且因此有可能執行精確的圖案化而不論襯底變形如何。舉例來說,當襯底被分成在其上執行圖案化的多個區段時,當光束輻射到襯底的第一區段(如圖11A中所示)時襯底平臺可移動而具有垂直於光束線的第一圖案化方向性L1,並且可以如圖11B中所示確定襯底的位置,並且當第一圖案化完成之後光束輻射第二區段時襯底平臺可移動而具有垂直於光束線的第二圖案化方向性L1。類似地,當光束輻射到第三區段時,可如圖11C中所示確定襯底位置並且襯底平臺可以移動而具有垂直於光束線的第三圖案化方向性L3。 When patterning of each segment is performed based on the calculated patterned starting substrate position and the patterned ending substrate position of each segment, laser patterning from each segment is formed for each segment Different patterning directionalities from the starting point to each patterning end point are made, and thus it is possible to perform precise patterning regardless of substrate deformation. For example, when the substrate is divided into a plurality of segments on which patterning is performed, the substrate platform can be moved to have a vertical when the beam is radiated to the first segment of the substrate (as shown in FIG. 11A) The first patterned directionality L1 of the beamline, and the position of the substrate can be determined as shown in FIG. 11B, and the substrate platform can be moved to have a perpendicular to the second segment when the beam is irradiated after the first patterning is completed The second patterned directionality L1 of the beam line. Similarly, when the beam is radiated to the third segment, the substrate position can be determined as shown in FIG. 11C and the substrate platform can be moved to have a third patterned directivity L3 perpendicular to the beamline.

根據本發明的實施例,即使襯底發生變形,也有可能通過使用對齊標記對襯底進行校正來防止光束的圖案化方向出錯。並且,通過防止光束的圖案化方向出錯,可以在襯底的正確部分上執行圖案化。 According to the embodiment of the present invention, even if the substrate is deformed, it is possible to prevent the patterning direction of the light beam from being erroneous by correcting the substrate using the alignment mark. Also, by preventing the patterning direction of the light beam from being erroneous, patterning can be performed on the correct portion of the substrate.
