Description of Invention (I) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for exposing a mask pattern on a substrate during the manufacturing process of a semiconductor element or a liquid crystal element Exposure method and exposure device, and more particularly, it relates to a method for exposing a large area pattern by bonding the same parts of a plurality of separated patterns to each other on a substrate, that is, an exposure method and a method suitable for performing screen combination and Exposure device. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A conventional exposure apparatus uses a so-called screen combining method to cope with an increase in the size of a photosensitive substrate to be exposed. This method divides the exposure area of the photosensitive substrate into a plurality of unit areas (the area irradiated by each exposure (Shot)). Then, the exposure area of each unit is repeatedly exposed multiple times to combine the patterns into The desired large-area pattern. When the screen is combined, the pattern error of the pattern projection grating (Reticle), the distortion of the projection optical system (Distortion), the position determination error of the stage (Stage) that determines the position of the photosensitive substrate, etc. There may be gaps in the patterns joined at the boundary positions of the unit exposure area. Here, in order to prevent the occurrence of the pattern notch, there is a small overlap between the boundaries of the exposure areas of each unit, that is, the screens are combined under the condition that the exposure areas of each unit are repeated. When performing the above-mentioned picture combination, the most important point to pay attention to is to minimize the shift between the patterns of the combined part of the picture to ensure the accuracy of the picture joining. The shift between the patterns in the combined part of this screen is caused by the manufacturing error of the grating, the lens aberration of the projection optical system, and the position of the stage that determines the position of the material such as the photosensitive substrate. The accuracy and sliding accuracy are caused. Also 4 -------------------- Order --------- Line · (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper size Applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 526541 8845pif.doc / 006 A7 B7 V. Invention description (l) That is, in the above picture combination The relative position deviation between two adjacent patterns will cause a drop in the joint portion of the pattern, which will damage the characteristics of the manufactured component. Moreover, in the manufacture of semiconductor elements and liquid crystal display elements, since the single-layered pattern of the screen is overlapped into a plurality of layers (usually 5 to 8 layers in the manufacture of liquid crystal panels), the unit exposure area in each layer overlaps. The error will cause discontinuous changes in the joint portion of the pattern. In this case, 'especially for an active matrix liquid crystal element, the discontinuous change in the contrast of the pattern joint portion will degrade the quality of the element. In general, as for the accuracy of the screen bonding of the exposure layer after the second layer, since it is important to know the difference in the accuracy of the overlap between the exposure irradiation area and the exposure irradiation area, it is possible to measure the alignment formed on the first layer first. Alignment Mark, and then from the measurement results, the offsets (offsets) of the gratings and photosensitive substrates of the layers after the second layer are calculated for correction. Also, when the second layer (for example, the source / drain layer) is subjected to the bonding exposure, there is a standard because of the alignment mark formed in the first layer (for example, the gate layer) that is the previous layer. Therefore, measuring this alignment immortal with a sensor such as Offaxis can increase the accuracy of the source / drain layer pattern and the corresponding gate layer pattern to a high degree of overlap. As a result, The pattern of the second layer achieves high-accuracy bonding. k However, the accuracy of pattern joining after the second layer is affected by the accuracy of pattern joining in the first layer. In general exposure processing, when the screen is bonded in the first layer, because the substrate has no reference, the exposure step will be affected by mechanical accuracy or pattern manufacturing accuracy. ---- Order -------- (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (21mm 7mm) Intellectual Property of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by the Bureau's Consumer Cooperatives 526541 8845pif.doc / 006 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention) It is difficult to improve the accuracy to the highest accuracy. In view of this, it is known to ensure the accuracy of joining in the first layer by, for example, the following two methods. (1) As far as the manufacturing error of the grating or the lens aberration of the projection optical system is concerned during the manufacturing process, as shown in FIG. 10, the two sides of the bonding pattern A to the pattern D are combined with the screen to form the desired panel pattern. In the case of FIG. 11, specifically, the plurality of special patterns near the pattern A in the grating are a plurality of two-dimensional marks arranged along the joint edge, so the exposed object (photosensitive The position of the above mark is measured near the stage of the substrate, and the deviation error between the design position of each mark and the position of the measurement result is statistically processed. It is possible to obtain a pattern that can expose the pattern on the grating on the stage to a more ideal grid shape. Correction parameters (Shift, rotation, magnification, etc.). In addition, as for the method of measuring the position of the marker from the vicinity of the bearing platform, a method such as an image slit sensor (ISS) measurement can be used. This method is to set a Slit Mark on the bearing platform. ), And then irradiate the detection light with the same wavelength as the exposure wavelength from below the reference mark member, and scan the moving carrier while monitoring the incident light detector through the aperture mark, the projection optical system, and the mark on the grating. The detection light is used to calculate the position of the mark according to the coordinate system of the supporting platform. In addition, as for the patterns B to D, it is also possible to arrange the marks along the joint edge in the same manner as the pattern A, and then use the position of the measurement mark to determine the correction parameters that can expose the patterns B to D to a more ideal grid shape. . In addition, regarding: the position of the stage that determines the position of the photosensitive substrate determines the accuracy or sliding 6 national paper standard (CNS) A4 ϋ2ΐο χ 297 issued by paper size --- I ---- '丨 丨 installation-- --- I 丨 丨 Order -------- (Please read the notes on the back before filling in this page) 526541 8845pif.doc / 006 A7 B7 Printed by the Employees' Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (#) As far as accuracy is concerned, the error can be minimized to maintain the accuracy of the screen joint during the whole week. (2) Test exposure Before implementing the process exposure, first perform the joint exposure that combines the patterns A to D to form the desired pattern, and measure the joint with a measuring device to determine the position deviation as shown in Figure 12. The shift amount Z is used as a deviation from the design frame as the position shift amount z, and as a method for inputting the deviation into the raster portion of the exposure control data during the process exposure. Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the conventional exposure method and exposure apparatus described above have the following problems. In the technique of (1) above, it is actually impossible to measure the patterns A to D after the transfer, the pattern after the exposure cannot be measured, and the optical principle measurement using the ISS measurement, etc. Exposure, in fact, the pattern will also have deviations from the design after exposure. Among them, there are several reasons to consider, such as the basic error in the measurement principle or the limit of reproducibility, the influence caused by the deformation of the photosensitive substrate in the process conditions, and the manufacturing error of the actual pattern and the measurement mark. Moreover, in the technique of (2) above, in the case where the screen is combined in the first layer, it is difficult to enhance the accuracy of the joint because there is no reference in the base, so even if it is used to provide a sense The method of detecting a position of the exposure pattern and then exposing other patterns according to the measured pattern position. Because the shape of the general pattern in each layer generally extends in a single direction such as the X direction or the Y direction, it is necessary to From X, 7 · n I n I ϋ ammf-δτ · I in an ϋ I (Please read Note 3 on the back before filling out this page) This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A'4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 526541 A7 8845pif.doc / 〇〇6. Description of the invention (f) It is difficult to measure one position of the above pattern in both directions of Y. Therefore, for directions that cannot be measured (X direction or Υ direction), it is not possible to sufficiently improve the joining accuracy. For the reasons described above, the techniques of (1) and (2) are not sufficient as a method for improving the accuracy of joining. Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an exposure method and an exposure device, which can accurately improve the bonding accuracy when bonding patterns on a substrate for screen bonding. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the embodiment of the present invention employs a structure corresponding to FIGS. 1 to 12.

Description of the invention (丨 屮) As shown in Figure 2A As shown, a mark MK as a first mark is formed near the center of the grating RT. This mark MK is different from the above-mentioned gate pattern or other patterns (source-drain patterns) formed on the substrate P in a process process. As shown in Fig. 2B, each mark MK is composed of an X mark XM and a Y mark YM. The X mark XM extends in the Y direction for measuring the position in the X direction. The γ mark YM extends in the X direction for measuring the position in the Y direction. The arrangement pitch PX of the X mark XM is set to be 1 / n (n is a natural number) of the arrangement pitch LX of the gate electrode pattern 39, where PX = LX (that is, η = 1). The arrangement pitch P of the Y mark YM is set to 1 / m (m is a natural number) of the arrangement pitch LY of the scanning line pattern 38, where PY = LY (that is, 1). Moreover, after developing such a mark MK on the exposed substrate P, a photoresist having the shape of the mark MK can be removed from the substrate P, that is, a negative pattern is formed in the grating R. Therefore, in the initial pattern exposure process, a grating R having a gate pattern is used to expose the gate pattern in the first layer on the substrate P. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, while exchanging four gratings each having a pattern A to D, the conventionally divided division line DLY extending in the Y direction and the division line DLX extending in the X direction are sequentially joined to the exposed pattern A ~ D, and a window pattern is combined on the screen on the substrate P. In addition, when a plurality of gratings each having a pattern A to D are used to form a pane pattern, a gate pattern or a source-drain pattern can also be used to adjust the shape characteristics of repeated arrangement at a certain pitch to adjust the variable field light beam 20 to The illuminated area on a piece of grating is used as each pattern that changes sequentially. In this case, the number of gratings can be reduced, and the grating exchange time can be reduced at the same time, thereby improving the paper size.

Next, a grating exposure RT for test exposure is set on the grating stage 13, and the substrate stage 14 is sequentially moved, and exposed along the center of the substrate P and the dividing line DLY, DLX four times each time with four marks MK (Figure 3 is 9). Times). When the mark MK is exposed by using this test exposure grating RT, it is preferable that the substrate P can be aligned and can be continuously implemented after the gate pattern is exposed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the test exposure result from including errors caused by the alignment of the substrate and other factors than the accuracy of the bonding. In this marking exposure process, the marking MK is exposed in two patterns across the dividing line DLY (and / or DLX) in each exposure. That is, the mark MK can be simultaneously exposed on the substrate by bonding two patterns adjacent to each other with a single irradiation. Moreover, each mark MK may correspond to the gate pattern formed in the pattern exposure process shown in FIG. 4A. As shown in Fig. 4B, the X mark XM overlaps the center position in the X direction of the gate electrode pattern 39 in the gate pattern, and the Y mark YM overlaps the center position in the Y direction of the scan line pattern 38 in the gate pattern. Moreover, in the grating R, since the mark MK is arranged near the center of the grating, that is, near the optical axis of the projection optical system 12, it is possible to reduce the grating caused by the magnification or rotation during the projection by the projection optical system 12. Compositional error. Then, the gate pattern and the mark MK are exposed on the substrate P through a preliminary exposure process, and then the substrate P is subjected to a development process. Here, because the gate pattern is a positive pattern, the light resistance B on the substrate P corresponds to the gate 18 by transmitting the light beam B outside the gate pattern on the grating R, as shown in FIG. 4B.

Description of the Invention (A) The area 40 other than the pole pattern becomes the exposure area, and The areas (patterns 38, 39) corresponding to the gate patterns become unexposed areas. In addition, since the mark mk is a negative pattern, as shown in FIG. 4B, the mark MK is formed on the patterns 38 and 39 as unexposed areas by exposure. Therefore, even if development processing is performed on the substrate P after the preliminary exposure process, marks MK can be formed in the gate pattern (however, both ends of the X mark XM protruding from the gate pattern are subjected to development processing in FIG. 4B. And removed). Furthermore, if latent image measurement is possible, it is not necessary to develop the substrate P, and the following measurement steps after the preliminary exposure process can be directly performed. After the preliminary exposure process, the relative positional relationship between the gate pattern and the mark MK transferred to the substrate P can be measured using, for example, an overlay tester. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, the relative positional relationship between the gate pattern and the mark MK which are joined in the X direction via the dividing line DLY can be measured on both sides of the pattern A and B, respectively. As shown in FIG. 5, in the case where two patterns A and B are installed in one window to detect edges, the row-to-column distance LX of the gate electrode patterns 39 (as shown in FIG. 12) (Shown), because the pixel pitch is about 300 / zm and the RGB division is about 100 // m, it is necessary to force the detection magnification of the objective lens in the measuring device to be greatly reduced. However, lowering the detection magnification will also reduce the detection resolution, and as a result, the detection accuracy will decrease. Therefore, in this embodiment, by measuring the relative positional relationship between each gate pattern of the patterns A and B and the mark MK, it is possible to adequately detect all the regions of several tens / m, and improve the detection magnification of the objective lens. In this state, you can perform edge detection in a pane.

Description of Invention (q) Below, the relative position measurement will be explained. For example, in FIG. 5, the overlapping deviation amount of the gate pattern and the mark MK in the irradiation area (pattern A) on the left side is the overlap deviation amount of the gate electrode pattern 39 and the X mark XM in the X direction is OVLx, The amount of overlap between the scanning line pattern 38 and the Y mark YM in the Y direction is OVLy. Similarly, the overlap deviation between the gate pattern and the mark MK in the irradiation area (pattern B) on the right side, and the overlap deviation between the gate electrode pattern 39 and the X mark XM in the X direction is 0 VRx, and the scan line is in the Y direction. The amount of overlap between the pattern 38 and the Y mark YM is OVRy. Here, the mark MK is formed on a grating, because the distance between the mark position and the mark can be measured in advance, and the reliability of the mark MK is higher than the gate pattern on the substrate P. Therefore, the above-mentioned overlap deviation amount can use the position of the mark MK as a reference, and the overlap deviation and the joining deviation (joint error) of the gate pattern corresponding to the mark MK can be found. Therefore, the accuracy of the joint between the pattern A and the pattern B can be expressed by the following formula using the above-mentioned overlap deviation amount.

Therefore, in the upper irradiation area (pattern A), the amount of overlap deviation between the gate pattern and the mark MG in the X direction, OVUx and the overlap deviation in the Υ direction, is OVOy, and at the same time, the lower irradiation area (pattern C) It is found that the overlap deviation amount of the gate pattern and the mark MK in the X direction is OVDx and the overlap deviation amount of the Y direction is OVDy.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, the correction amount when the pattern A is exposed, that is, the correction parameters (offset X, γ, rotation, magnification, etc.) at the time of exposure using the light profile R having the pattern A are used. It is obtained by using the least squares method to calculate the weights, deviations, and designs of the plurality of marks and gate patterns formed by joining the edges of the pattern A through statistical calculation processing among the plurality of marks.

After the alignment is performed corresponding to the grating R, the exposure irradiation area can be determined on the area on the substrate P on which the pattern A is exposed, and then the substrate supporting table 14 is driven by the supporting table driving device 27, and the grating R is illuminated with the light beam B so that A pattern A as a partial gate pattern is exposed on the first layer of the substrate P. After that, the same procedure as the pattern A is performed to correspond to each of the gratings having the patterns B to D, and the correction parameters read from the memory device 33 are used to align, and at the same time, the patterns B to D are exposed after determining the position on the substrate P, so that Patterns A to D are bonded to the substrate P and the screens are combined to form a drawing board pattern. With the combination of this screen, each of the patterns A to D exactly overlaps with the high accuracy of the mark MK formed by the zeroth layer on the substrate P.
