Description

3201twf·doc/006 A7 B7 五、發明説明(f ) 本發明是有關於一種步進機(Stepper)生產%胃 (Mask),且特別是有關於一種在NIKON步進機與ASML步 進機中均適用的光罩。 凡是與金氧半導體(MOS)元件的結構相關的,如:名__ 薄膜的圖案(Pattern)及摻質(Dopants)的區域,都是由微 影步驟來決定。因此,我們通常以一個製程所需要經過的 微影次數,或是所需要的光罩數量,來表示這個製程的難 易程度。此外’整個半導體工業的元件積集度 (In t eg r a t i on) ’是否能往更小的線寬進行,也端賴於爲 穎製程的發展是否順利而定。 微影製程的技術雖然很複雜,其基本原理卻很簡單。 首先在晶片上面覆上一層光阻,在曝光(Exposure)的步驟 中,入射光透過光罩進行選擇性的感光,便會將光罩上的 圖案轉移到光阻上面。 ^".^中^^鋒^^^^^^^名作^"·^ mnn ml n HHT mV ! ·" / n —Bf — -" -.. (#先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 進行曝光所需要的工具除了光源以外,還有用來提供 線路圖案以便執行圖案轉移的光罩。光罩的主體是由平坦 且透明的玻璃所構成,半導體元件各層的圖案,則是以在 玻璃的表面覆上一層厚度約數百個A的鉻膜來代表,甚至 於在鉻膜的表面上再加上一層厚度約200A的二氧化鉻 膜,用來防止金屬鉻膜在曝光時的反射。 傳統上,執行光阻曝光的技術主要包括接觸式 (Contact)、近接式(Proximity)及投影式(Projection)等 三種。以投影式的曝光技術而言,它與接觸式和近接式最 大的差別,在於光罩並沒有直接與晶片接觸或接近,而是 3 本纸張尺度適州中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(2丨0X297公釐) 320Xtwf.d〇c/006 A7 B7 經漪部中央樣11·^ρ;ί-τ消货合作扣印^ 五、發明説明(爻) 以類似投影機將投影片上的文字或圖形,投射到牆上的這 種方式來進行光罩圖案的轉移。此種曝光法的優點是不會 損害光罩上的圖案,而且圖案轉移的解析度極佳,執行此 種曝光法的曝光機便稱爲步進機。 有許多廠商均有生產步進機,對於不同廠牌的步進機, 其所使用的光罩規格與設計也不同。請參照第1圖,第1 圖繪示爲NIKON步進機所使用的光罩配置圖。 目前NIKON六英吋的光罩配置圖至少包括:線網玻璃 (Reticle Glass)100,在線網玻璃100的表面上覆蓋一層 鉻膜(Chrome) 102,鉻膜用以代表半導體元件各層的圖案。 在鉻膜102的周圍,分別包含了一個光罩對準記號 (Alignment Mark),各爲第一對準標記104、第二對準標 記1〇6與第三對準標記108 ;而在第一對準標記104的上 下方均有辨識用的條碼112(Bar Code)。其中’有效使 用面積114的長寬大小爲126 X 110腿。 另外,有一層薄膜表層(Pellicle Frame)110,覆蓋在 有效使用面積114的表面上,用以避免光罩表面因長久的 使用而沾上微粒,進而影響後續轉移圖案的品質。 另外,請參照第2圖,第2圖爲ASML步進機所使用的 光罩配置圖。目前ASML六英吋的光罩配置圖至少包括: 線網玻璃200,在線網玻璃200的表面上覆蓋一層鉻膜 202,鉻膜用以代表半導體元件各層的圖案。此外’線網 玻璃200上,分別包含了光罩預對準記號 204(Preal ignment Mark)與光罩對準記號206。一邊的光 (锖先閱讀背面之注意事項存填寫本頁) 装------丁 *vs 本紙張尺度適州中國國家標準(CNS ) Α4規格(210X297公釐) 1 32〇itwf. doc/006 A7 B7 經濟部中央i·?:準而只-T消资合竹社印?水 五、發明説明(> ) 罩對準記號206上方有辨識用的條碼208,而在另一邊的 光罩對準記號206上下方有人工可辨識的條碼210。其中, 有效使用面積214的長寬大小爲137X110 mm。 另外,有一層薄膜表層212,覆蓋在有效使用面積214 的表面上,用以避免光罩表面因長久的使用而沾上微粒, 進而影響後續轉移圖案的品質。 對有NIKON與ASML步進機的半導體廠而言,常因產能 與排貨的考量,會要求一個半導體製程能夠不限制機台種 類,藉以達成生產更加順暢的需求;但對於兩種步進機, 所使用的光罩並不相同,因此必須製作兩套光罩,一套用 於NIKON步進機,一套用於ASML的機台上。如此一來, 光罩的製作成本會因需求而提高,而光罩的管理也因此變 的更加複雜。 最理想的設計便是僅使用一套光罩,可適用兩種機台; 但是目前適用於NIKON的光罩如果要拿到ASML的機台上 使用,則會因爲規格不符,而有硬體毀損、曝光面積匹配 與光罩對準等問題產生;相反的,若將ASML的光罩拿到 NIKON機台上使用,也會發生同樣的問題。 有鑑於此,本發明的主要目的就是在提供一種相容性 光罩,可以同時適用於NIKON步進機與ASML步進機,藉 以節省光罩的製作成本,並簡化光罩的管理;且使製程進 行不會因步進機機台的緣故而影響到產能。 根據本發明的上述及其他目的,提出一種相容性光罩, 在線網玻璃上,包括預對準標記、第一對準標記,作爲在 5 本紙張尺庶適扣中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(2丨0X297公釐) nn In— s^l^i talv n^ii ^in·· · .^^——t n I-.
