Description of the invention (I) · / [Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to an exposure device and an exposure method for exposing a pattern formed on a photomask to a substrate, and more particularly, An exposure device and an exposure method for forming a plurality of light source images with an optical integrator. In addition, the present invention relates to an exposure device and the like used in the manufacture of display elements such as semiconductor integrated circuits, liquid crystal display elements, plasma display panels, thin-film magnetic heads, other micro-elements, or photomasks by lithography technology. The exposure method is, in more detail, an exposure device and method for partially overlapping a unit mask pattern on a workpiece to form a large-area pattern, that is, an exposure device and method for performing screen composition. [Known Technology] In recent years, thin display liquid crystal display panels have been used as display elements for computers and televisions. Such a liquid crystal display panel is manufactured by patterning a photosensitive substrate having a rectangular shape in plan view, such as a transparent thin-film electrode on a glass substrate, into a predetermined shape by a photolithography method. In addition, as the photolithography device, an exposure device is used which exposes a pattern formed on a photomask (grating) to a photoresist layer on a glass substrate via a projection optical system. The above-mentioned liquid crystal display elements are gradually enlarged based on the difficulty of viewing the screen. An exposure device that meets this requirement, such as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-57986, conceives a scanning-type exposure device that applies a plurality of projection optical systems (the pattern of a photomask is projected on a substrate as an erect image). And make the photomask and the glass substrate move synchronously in a predetermined direction, and scan and insert relative to the projection optical system, so that the three paper sizes in the synchronous moving direction apply the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 x 297 mm) Li) (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) --- I ---- Order -------- '486741 A7 ______B7_ V. Description of the invention (y) / Large exposure in orthogonal direction The area, that is, the pattern formed on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) of the photomask is sequentially transferred to the exposed area on the substrate. At this time, as a projection optical system that does not increase the size of the device even if the projection area is large, and can obtain good imaging characteristics, a plurality of projection optical systems can be configured as shown in FIG. 22 so that adjacent projection areas are arranged The PAs are shifted in the scanning direction (X direction) by a fixed amount, and the ends of adjacent projection areas PA are overlapped with each other in a direction orthogonal to the scanning direction (Y direction) as shown by the two-point chain line. . At this time, the field diaphragm of each projection optical system is set to, for example, a trapezoidal shape formed by arranging a triangular joint portion J at the end of the rectangular portion T, so that the total opening width of the field diaphragm in the scanning direction is always kept equal. . Therefore, in the above-mentioned scanning exposure device, the joint portion J of the adjacent projection optical system is repeatedly exposed on the glass substrate P, so that the optical aberration and exposure illuminance of the projection optical system can be smoothly changed. This is the advantage. _ In addition, the exposure device and method used in the past to manufacture photomasks by lithography technology, in order to solve the problem of increasing the size of the photosensitive substrate (workpiece) to be exposed, the method used is to increase the sensitivity of the photosensitive substrate The exposure area is divided into a plurality of unit exposure areas, so that the exposure of each unit exposure area is repeated several times to synthesize a pattern with the finally desired large area, which is the method of screen synthesis. In the case of screen composition, it is caused by the drawing error of the mask used for pattern projection, the distortion of the projection optical system, the positioning error of the platform used to position the photosensitive substrate, etc., and it is exposed in each unit 4 (Please read the precautions on the back first (Fill in this page again.) -------- Order · --------- 1. The paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 486741 A7 ____ B7_______ V. Invention It shows that the pattern of cracks easily occurs at the boundary of (h) / region. Therefore, in order to prevent cracks in the pattern, the exposure of the composite image is performed by making the boundary of the exposure areas of each unit overlap only a small amount, in other words, the overlap of the exposure areas of each unit. If the unit exposure areas are partially overlapped, the exposure light amount of the overlapped exposure areas (hereinafter referred to as "repeated exposure areas") will become the exposure area other than the repeatedly exposed areas (hereinafter referred to as "non-repeated exposure areas"). 2 times (4 times in 4 repeated exposure areas), so the conventional method is to control the exposure amount of the repeated exposure area and the non-repeated exposure area to be constant. [Problems to be solved by the invention] However, with the photosensitive material The characteristics of the photosensitizer are different from the nature and shape of the pattern. Even if the amount of light is constant, the contour of the pattern image (photoresist contour) in the repeatedly exposed area and the contour of the pattern image in the non-repeated exposure area will still change, and there is a pattern line. Wide uniformity and pitch uniformity are reduced. The conventional exposure apparatus and exposure method have the following problems. In the past, regardless of the case where the rectangular portion τ is exposed or the joint portion J is exposed, as long as the total exposure area is the same, as shown in FIG. 37 (a), the rectangular portions T1 and T2 are exposed. The exposure amount of the non-repeated area is the same as the total exposure amount of the repeated area exposed by the joints J1 and J2, as shown in FIG. 37 (b), and is based on the illuminance power (exposure energy) supplied to the glass substrate P. ) Is the same, so the contours of the line width and the like of the exposed pattern tend to be the same. 5 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) -------------------- Order · -------- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 486741 · A7 ______ Β7 ____ V. Description of the Invention ($)-However, although not all the cases, the glass substrate P which is part of the photoresist treatment is applied, as shown in Figure 38 As shown, the line / space pattern exposed by the rectangular portion (non-repeated area) T and the line / space pattern exposed by the junction (repeated area) J will result in a line width A or B or a height C or D. There is a difference between them, and as shown by the two-point chain line, the edge of the line disappears, the bottom becomes a trapezoidal outline that widens like a skirt, and the slope of the edge is different, and the shape of the cross section that occurs with different conditions ( The tendency of the pattern like the contour) is different (see Fig. 37 (c)). This phenomenon is considered to be due to the time difference between the point on the glass substrate P repeatedly exposed at the junction from the projection area in the first row to the projection area in the second row, or because it is coated on the glass substrate Due to the characteristics of the photoresist of P, it is caused by the difference in the amount of chemical reaction between the photoresist and the illuminance power supplied by each part. In fact, there are many phenomena in which the amount of chemical reaction caused by the illuminance power supplied to the repeatedly exposed portion is larger than that of the non-repeated portion. Therefore, once the pattern exposed by the rectangular portion T and the joint portion J has a difference in line width, height, and pitch, as shown in FIG. 39, streaks appear along the scanning direction on the glass substrate P, and There is a problem that the quality of the manufactured liquid crystal display element is significantly reduced. This problem is not limited to the case of using a plurality of projection optical systems, even if: a projection optical system with a single projection area 'moves the mask and the glass substrate synchronously for the first scan exposure' and allows the mask and the glass substrate to Orthogonally move in the direction of synchronous movement by a distance equivalent to the length of the projection area, and let the photomask and the glass substrate move synchronously again to perform the second scanning exposure process once or repeatedly several times to make multiple divisions.

The present invention is based on the consideration of the above points, and its object is to provide an exposure device and an exposure method, which can prevent the quality of the element from being reduced even if a part of the substrate is repeatedly exposed. An object of the present invention is to form a pattern with high accuracy in a repeating area and a non-repeating area. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object adopts the following configurations corresponding to Figs. 1 to 22 showing the embodiment.

Description of the Invention (U) As for the exposure device and exposure method, the illuminance of the repeated exposure portion ⑺ on the substrate (P) can be adjusted by moving the illuminance adjustment device (PF) within the conjugate plane. Therefore, when the amount of chemical reaction of the photoresist caused by the exposure in the repeated exposure portion is larger than that in the non-repeated exposure portion (T), by reducing the illumination intensity in the repeated exposure portion, the The chemical reaction amount of the photoresist in the exposed portion is the same as the chemical reaction amount of the photoresist in the non-repeatedly exposed portion (T), so the shape of the pattern in each portion will also be the same. In addition, in order to achieve the above object, the exposure method according to the first aspect of the present invention, in order to transfer the pattern on the workpiece to a plurality of areas that partially overlap the peripheral portion, respectively, can be gradually reduced in the peripheral portion. The exposure amount setting mechanism scans and exposes the aforementioned regions with energy beams.

Therefore, by adjusting the amount of rotation of the positioning tool 50, the relative positional relationship of the metal piece 30 with respect to the mobile stage 29 in the Θ direction can be fine-tuned. In other words, by using the positioning tool 50 in the fine adjustment section 46, fine adjustment of the relative positional relationship of the patterned filter PF with respect to the fly-eye lens 14 in the 0 direction can be performed.

的端緣而移動到將接合部J遮光之位置、或是如圖18(c)所 示般移動到不將接合部J遮光之位置。又,由圖18(a)、(b) 可明顯地看出,接合部J係由遮光圖案SP1、SP2之雙方 所遮光,該遮光區域之形狀係依據遮光圖案SP1、SP2之 旋轉角而做非線性的變形。此時,遮光區域的形狀也是分 別設定成具有良接合部J的中央(也包含鄰接之投影區域 PA)往長方形部T逐漸縮窄之輪廓,在Y方向位於接合部J

Next, the motor 51 is driven to gradually move the patterned filter PF in the conjugate plane along the X direction by a predetermined amount, and the illuminance of the joint portion J at that time is measured to determine the uneven illuminance at each position. Here, for example, moving the case-separating filter PF is equivalent to the amount of arrangement of the small lenses in the X direction, and the encoder is configured to minimize illumination unevenness, that is, when the light-shielding pattern SP is located at the center position shown in FIG. 5.

Therefore, the number of pulses from the zero position of the encoder is used to control the position of the patterned filter PF where the measured illuminance unevenness falls within the specification by using the amount of rotation of the motor 51, so that the projection on the glass substrate p can be projected The illuminance unevenness of the area PA is set to the specification 値. Regarding the position control of the patterned filter PF, by driving the motor 51 in a sinusoidal shape, the mobile stage 29 can be driven with high linearity. Next, after performing the same illuminance adjustment on the other projection areas PA, the grating stage 4 and the substrate stage 5 are driven to move the photomask M and the glass substrate P to the scanning start position, so that the photomask M and the glass substrate P are relative to the projection system. The modules 3a to 3e move synchronously at the same speed and in the same direction (for example, the -X direction), whereby the circuit pattern of the photomask M is partially repeated on the glass substrate P and exposed. In the exposure apparatus and exposure method of this embodiment, the illuminance of the joint portion J in the projection area PA on the glass substrate P can be arbitrarily adjusted by the patterned filter PF, so that light is allowed to be even on the glass substrate P. The pattern of the mask M is partially repeated for exposure, and the chemical reaction amount of the photoresist in the area exposed by the rectangular portion τ and the area exposed by the joint portion J can also be made the same.

As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the light-shielding pattern SP of this embodiment is formed at each joint portion J of a plurality of small lenses, and is arranged at the same pitch as that of the small lenses in the X direction and in the Y direction. They are arranged in the same arrangement pattern as the joint portion J. In addition, the size of each light-shielding pattern SP is separated from the projection area PA in the center position shown in FIG. 14 and is not light-shielded. However, in the light-shielding position shown in FIG. The given amount of shading.

That is, the light-shielding pattern SP is a pattern having a contour shape that gradually narrows from the center of the joint portion J (including the adjacent projection area PA) toward the rectangular portion T. In addition, the positions of the intersections of the arcs 61 and 62 in the Y direction are shown in the figure.

The detailed shape of the light-shielding pattern SP (the diameters of the arcs 61 and 62 and the center positions of the arcs 61 and 62) is based on the pattern image described later according to the photosensitive characteristics of the photoresist and the exposure method of the repeated exposure area. The contour is set, but in addition to the arc, it can also be oval or semi-elliptical. In this embodiment, a storage device (not shown) is attached to the control device 17. .

In the exposure apparatus configured as described above, the test exposure is performed before the exposure processing. For further details, for example, as shown in FIGS. 16 (a) to (c), the light-shielding pattern SP is moved stepwise so that the exposure amount to the joint portion J is different, and then the mask is placed at each position. The patterns of M are exposed on a glass substrate P, respectively. Next, after developing the glass substrate P, the outline shape of the pattern image of the repeated portion repeatedly exposed at the joint portion J and the non-repeated portion exposed at the rectangular portion T are measured with a measuring device such as a coincidence measuring device.

At this time, in the case of exposure with the dose a, the illuminance power may increase in the central part of the Y direction. As shown in FIG. 17 (b), the line is exposed to the outline of the pattern image of the glass substrate P. The width becomes thinner than the non-repeatedly exposed portion, and the film thickness becomes thinner as shown in FIG. 17 (c). On the contrary, "When the light-shielding pattern SP is arranged at the position shown in Fig. 16 (c)" in the case of exposing with a large amount of light-shielding dose c, "especially the illuminance power decreases in the central part of the Y direction" As shown in Figure), when exposed to the outline of the pattern image of the glass substrate P, the line width becomes thicker than the non-repeatedly exposed portion. As shown in FIG. 17 (e), the film thickness becomes thicker. In addition, when the light-shielding pattern SP is arranged at an appropriate position shown in FIG. 16 (b), for a case where the dose b is low for a non-repeated exposure portion, but the chemical reaction amount of the photoresist for illuminance power is the same state for exposure, the line width The thickness of the film is the same as that of the non-repeatedly exposed portion. Therefore, the relative positional relationship between the light-shielding pattern SP with which the chemical reaction amount of the photoresist is the same in the repeating portion and the non-repeating portion with respect to the joint portion J (in this case, the position shown in FIG. 16 (b)) is stored in Storage device. In addition, in the above-mentioned test exposure, in addition to the adjustment of the illuminance power of the repeating portion and the non-repeating portion, the line width change in the case where the dose is changed stepwise (for example, 1% each time) is measured and calculated. These are stored as associated functions in a storage device.

In this embodiment, since the position of the light-shielding pattern SP relative to the fly-eye lens 14 is determined based on the image contour of the pattern formed on the glass substrate P, even if the position of the light-shielding pattern SP is not calculated during the exposure process, The patterned filter PF can be quickly moved to an appropriate position, which contributes to an increase in throughput. Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, since the light-shielding pattern SP is movable, the position of the light-shielding pattern SP at the time of the first exposure and the time of the second exposure may be different when the exposure is repeated. Alternatively, the joint portion J may be shielded with the light-shielding pattern SP only at the first exposure, and the light-shielding pattern SP may be withdrawn from the joint portion J without being shielded at the second exposure.

Each position (rotation angle + displacement) is stored in the storage device, and the appropriate shape (rotation angle + displacement) of the shading patterns SP1 and SP2 stored in the storage device is read out when the exposure process is performed, so as to control the driving device . As a result, the light-shielding regions formed by the light-shielding patterns SP1 and SP2 are deformed into the shape shown in FIG. 18 (b) with respect to the joint portion J. For the glass substrate P, the image contour shape of the repeating portion and the image contour of the non-repeating portion are formed. By exposing the pattern with a chemical reaction amount caused by uniform shape exposure, the same effect as that of the second embodiment can be achieved.

In addition, although the light-shielding pattern SP is arranged to correspond to all the small lenses of the fly-eye lens 14, it may be arranged to correspond to a part of the small lenses. In this case, the amount of decrease in the illuminance is reduced, but light shielding can be used to compensate for the decrease. Moreover, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although a plurality of projection system modules 3a to 3e are used in which a part of the projection area PA is repeated with each other, that is, a complex lens type is used as an example, it is not limited to this.

With this operation, the exposure area EA1 composed of the area 141 and the area 142 on the workpiece W is exposed. After the exposure to the exposure area EA1 is completed, the shutter 113 is closed, and the mask M and the workpiece W are moved toward the -Y direction with respect to the projection optical system PL by a predetermined step amount. After that, the shutter Π3 is opened again, and the mask M and the workpiece W are moved in the -X direction with respect to the projection optical system PL. By this operation, the exposure area EA2 composed of the area 142, the area 143, and the area 144 on the workpiece W is exposed. After the exposure to the exposure area EA2 is completed, the shutter 113 'is closed, and the mask M and the workpiece W are moved toward the -Y direction with respect to the projection optical system PL by a predetermined step amount.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the setting mechanism (patterned filter 115) that continuously changes the exposure amounts of the repeatedly exposed areas 142, 144, and 146 is arranged near the incident surface of the fly-eye lens 116. The position near the incident surface of the fly-eye lens 116 is a position in the optical path that is optically conjugated to the workpiece W in a plurality of light paths corresponding to the light paths of the plurality of light source images formed by the fly-eye lens, respectively. Fig. 25 is a plan view of the patterned filter 115 as a setting mechanism. 25 also shows the incident surface 116a of a plurality of element lenses (rod-shaped lens elements) constituting the fly-eye lens 116 at a glance. As shown in FIG. 25, the patterned calender 115 of this embodiment is formed by, for example, providing a plurality of light-shielding patterns 115b such as chromium on a light-transmitting base material 115a made of a glass substrate by vapor deposition or the like.

In FIG. 26, the area PAI on the incident surface 116a corresponding to the projection area PA has a ladder shape with an upper edge 151, a lower edge 152, and two hypotenuse edges 153, 154, and has a non-repeating area 141 shown in FIG. 24. The rectangular sub-regions 155 corresponding to 143, 145, and the two rectangular sub-regions 156, 157 corresponding to the repeating regions 142, 144, 146. Although FIG. 26 shows only a portion related to the incident surface 116a of one element lens, the above-mentioned relationship is actually established at each incident surface of the fly-eye lens 116. Further, in FIG. 26, four light-shielding patterns 115b1 to 115b4 among the plurality of light-shielding patterns 115b formed on the base 115a are shown. Here, corresponding to the area PAI in FIG. 26 are two light-shielding patterns 115b, 115b2, and the two light-shielding patterns 115bl, 115b2 are in a mirror-image relationship with each other, so only the light-shielding pattern 115bl will be described here. The light-shielding pattern 115bl is arranged corresponding to the sub-region 156 on the right side (+ Y direction side) in the figure of the region PAI, and has a hexagonal shape with six sides 251 to 256.

In addition, the hypotenuse 253 on the lower side (-X direction side) of the light-shielding pattern 115bl is in a state (non-light-shielding state) shown in FIG. 26 (A) so as not to interfere with the incident surface of the element lens below the area PAI. The area (not shown) corresponding to the projection area PA on the upper surface is determined by interference. This can be understood from the positional relationship between the hypotenuse 153 of the PAI in the area of FIG. 26 (A) and the hypotenuse of the light shielding pattern 115b3. In addition, the oblique side 255 of the light-shielding pattern 115M is in a non-light-shielding state in FIG. 26 (A) in such a manner that it does not interfere with the area corresponding to the projection area PA on the incident surface of the element lens at the diagonally lower right side of the area PAI.

In addition, when the patterned filter 115 is moved to the + X direction side in FIG. 25, as shown in FIG. 26 (B), the upper edge 251 and the hypotenuse 252 of the light-shielding pattern 115bl, 115b2 will change the child area 156 of the area PAI.

Since the same light-shielding is received on each incident surface of the plurality of element lenses, the area corresponding to the repeated area of the projection area PA is light-shielded. Fig. 27 (A) shows the exposure amount distribution in the case where scanning exposure is performed on the work W using the above-mentioned partially shielded projection area. Also, for convenience of explanation, the exposure amount distributions in Figs. 27 (A) and (B) show the case where a blank (no pattern) mask M is used. In Figure 27 (A). Among them, the solid line is the exposure amount distribution in the case of being shielded, and the dashed line is the exposure amount distribution in the case of not being shielded.

As explained with reference to Fig. 24, the exposure amount distribution after the two scanning exposures after repeated scanning exposures in the repeated area is as shown in Fig. 27 (B). In Fig. 27 (B), area 74 corresponds to the repeated area after two scanning exposures, and areas 75 and 76 correspond to non-repeated areas. The method of not changing the exposure amount of the non-repeated area but only changing the exposure amount of the repeated area can be understood from FIG. 27 (B). That is, in the present embodiment, the exposure amount of the non-repeated area and the exposure amount of the repeated area can be controlled independently by the movement of the patterned filter 115 as a setting mechanism. Since the position of the patterned filter Π5 in the X direction is continuously changed as shown in Fig. 23, the area of the light-shielding area (hatched portion) in Fig. 26 (B) is also continuously changed. Therefore, it can be understood that the exposure amount of the repeated area 74 shown in Fig. 27 (B) is also continuously changed. As in this embodiment, even if the patterned filter 115 is arranged near the incident surface of the fly-eye lens 116, that is, the light path corresponding to the plurality of light source images formed by the fly-eye lens 116 is approximately equal to the workpiece W. A plurality of light-shielding patterns 115b are arranged at the conjugate positions, and the macroscopic shape of the secondary light source (surface light source) formed by the plurality of light source images formed by the compound eye lens 116 on its exit surface (the pupil of the lighting system) does not change. Therefore, the exposure can be adjusted without losing high beam. Next, the adjustment operation of the patterned filter 115 as a setting mechanism will be briefly described. First, for a workpiece W coated with a photosensitive material (photoresist), the exposure amount is changed stepwise to perform a plurality of test exposures.
