Description of the Invention (/) [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an exposure method and an exposure device, and an element manufacturing method. More specifically, it relates to the manufacture of semiconductor elements, A liquid crystal display element and the like are used in an lithography step, an exposure method and an exposure device ', and a device manufacturing method using the exposure device. [Known technology] Where semiconductor devices or liquid crystal display devices are manufactured by the lithography process, although various exposure devices are used, generally, a photomask or a reticle (hereinafter, collectively referred to as a "reticle") is currently used. The pattern is copied by a projection optical system to a projection exposure device on a substrate (hereinafter, collectively referred to as a "wafer") coated with a light-resistant anti-uranium agent on a standard surface or a glass plate. As such a projection exposure apparatus, in recent years, a step-and-repeat (step & repeat) reduction projection exposure apparatus (a so-called stepper) and a stepping-scanning method that improves the stepper ( step & scan) projection exposure device, also known as scanning stepper (scanning stepper). Scanning stepper, because it can expose a large area with a smaller optical system compared to a stepper, the manufacturing of projection optics is easy, and the projection optical system is averaged relative to the scanning reticle and wafer Effect, you can also expect to improve the advantages of distortion and depth of focus. Therefore, it is considered that such scanning and scanning steppers will become mainstream in the future. In recent years, with the increasing integration of integrated circuits' component specifications (minimum practical line width), miniaturization has become more and more important. As for projection exposure devices, in addition to improving efficiency, as an important condition, the upper resolution limit, Improved focus depth and line width control accuracy. 3 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) ------; -VI ----- installation-c Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) J ^ T. • Line_ 礞 527636 Α7 Β7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 5. Description of invention (y) As a method to raise the upper limit of the siege, the double exposure method is continuously improved, and the double exposure method is used In a KrF excimer laser exposure device or an ArF excimer laser exposure device, try to expose to the line and gap (L / S) of 0. Ιμιη. This double exposure method is expected to have two effects of improving resolution and increasing depth of focus. The multiple exposures such as the double exposure mentioned above are mainly carried out for the purpose of improving the resolution. Therefore, in the past, a number of conditions have been proposed to help improve the resolution, such as changing the lighting during the first exposure and the second exposure. Conditions, etc. (for example, refer to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-273245). However, other conditions, especially those that have nothing to do with improving the resolution and help to improve efficiency, are performed under the same conditions for each exposure. That is, only one type of each control parameter is set in a database for setting exposure conditions called a process file. Therefore, for example, in the case of a scanning stepper, the scanning speed of each stage when the reticle and the wafer are moved synchronously, the stepping speed between exposure and irradiation, the allowable position error during positioning recovery, or as a reference for determining the synchronous recovery The allowable position error and the like are performed under the same conditions during the first exposure and the second exposure. On the other hand, when performing double exposure, the exposure accuracy required for each exposure may not be the same for the first exposure and the second exposure. Even so, the existing projection exposure devices, as described above, are used under almost the same exposure conditions regardless of the required accuracy, so they are used even when exposures requiring lower accuracy and more emphasis on efficiency are used. The exposure is performed with the same control as when exposure requiring high accuracy and attention to resolution is required. 4 C Please read the notes on the back first (for the purpose of filling out this page).-The size of the paper is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 527636 A7 B7 Employees ’Cooperatives, Intellectual Property Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed 5. Description of Invention (>) So far, as far as double exposure is concerned, in addition to focusing on analytical power, there is no idea of improving efficiency. Therefore, the efficiency of double exposure is higher than the required standard. low. The same problem as above is also caused when different layers of the same wafer are exposed. That is, the scanning speed, the step speed between exposure and irradiation, the allowable position error at the time of positioning restoration, or the allowable position error as a reference for synchronous restoration are usually the same control for the exposure of each layer. In addition, for example, in the stitching method of exposing a plurality of areas in which peripheral portions are partially overlapped on the same layer, the same problems as described above also occur. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention is based on the above-mentioned circumstances. A first object of the present invention is to provide an exposure method and an exposure apparatus that can maintain high exposure accuracy and improve efficiency. A second object of the present invention is to provide a device manufacturing method capable of improving the productivity of a micro device having a high integration density. According to the first invention of the present case, an exposure method is provided, in which the same substrate is repeatedly exposed at least twice, which includes: a step of performing a first exposure on the substrate with a first control accuracy corresponding to the required first exposure accuracy; Corresponding to the required second exposure accuracy different from the aforementioned first exposure accuracy, and performing a second exposure on the substrate with the second control accuracy. According to this invention, for example, when the required exposure accuracy is relatively strict (one of the first exposure and the second exposure), the normal control accuracy is set, and the paper rule is 4 A on a 5-degree rule. / 5 N (C.

Description of the Invention (f) Exposures that require an exposure accuracy that is not particularly high (the other of the 1st exposure and the 2nd exposure). Generally, the control accuracy is slightly lower. In this way, the control accuracy is changed depending on the exposure accuracy required for each exposure. Therefore, the efficiency can be improved compared with the case where the exposure is performed with the same control accuracy every time. The accuracy can maintain sufficient accuracy. At this time, the first exposure and the second exposure (the at least two exposures described above) can not only expose different layers of the substrate, but also expose the same layer of the substrate. If it is the latter At this time, the first exposure and the second exposure can not only bond and copy the patterns. The joint exposure of adjacent divided areas on the substrate, and the first exposure and the second exposure are multiple exposures in which the pattern is overlapped and copied on the same area on the substrate. The exposure method of the present invention can set the first exposure In order to perform the exposure for specifying the pattern size on the substrate, the second exposure is set to the exposure for specifying the pattern shape on the substrate. In the present specification, the "predetermined pattern size" means to include undercuts. Two cases: the case where the pattern line width is specified by the analysis that requires a finer line pattern accuracy, and the case that the smaller hole patterns, rectangular patterns, etc. are required to determine the size of those pattern sizes In this case, the aforementioned second control accuracy can be set lower than the first control accuracy. In this case, it is compared with the first control accuracy of the first exposure, which is generally used to specify the pattern size that requires resolution. , Used to specify the second control accuracy of the second exposure of the pattern shape that does not require such a high resolution, then set 6 paper standards for China Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 x 297 public love) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page).-丨 Line · 527636 A7 B7 V.

In the exposure method of the present invention, when the first exposure is used to specify the pattern size of the substrate For the purpose of exposure, the second exposure is used to specify the pattern shape of the substrate.

Description of the invention ((?) Control system is used for overall control of the aforementioned exposure system 'and repeats at least two exposures on the same substrate According to the invention, when the control system repeatedly performs at least two exposures on the same substrate, it depends on what is required for each exposure. "Exposure accuracy" changes the control factors of the aforementioned exposure system that contribute to efficiency (hereafter "appropriately referred to as" efficiency control factors "). For example, when the required exposure accuracy is a stricter exposure, the resolution becomes more important and the efficiency is valued. In the state (or ,), if the required exposure accuracy is not so high, it will conversely become a situation where efficiency is more important than resolution. (Or 値), changing the efficiency control factor in this way. Therefore, when multiple exposures are repeatedly performed on the same substrate, the efficiency can be significantly improved compared with the case where the exposure system is controlled based on the same efficiency control factor for each exposure. Also, at this time, since the required exposure accuracy is not so high, in other words, the efficiency control factor is changed in a state (or 値) where efficiency is more important only when the exposure accuracy is allowed to decrease to a certain degree, Therefore, as a result, sufficient accuracy can be maintained. In this case, when the control system exposes different layers of the same substrate, depending on the exposure accuracy required for the exposure of each layer, the control factors of the aforementioned exposure system that contribute to efficiency can be changed. (Efficiency control factor), and when the control system performs at least two exposures on the same layer of the same substrate, the efficiency control factor can be changed according to the exposure accuracy required for each exposure. In the latter case, the control system can control the exposure system, At least two exposures to the same layer of the same substrate to copy the pattern to the substrate The joint exposure of adjacent areas can also be controlled by the control system.

Description of the invention), at least two exposures are performed on the same layer of the same substrate, so as to perform multiple exposures in which the pattern is superimposed and copied on the same area on the aforementioned substrate. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) In the latter case, the aforementioned control system can control the aforementioned exposure system 'to perform at least the first exposure on the same substrate to specify the pattern size, and to specify The multiple exposures of the second exposure of the pattern shape. In general, the first exposure used to specify the size of a pattern requires strict exposure accuracy, while the second exposure used to specify the shape of a pattern 'requires less precise exposure. Therefore, at this time, the control system changes the efficiency control factor so that the first exposure becomes a state where the resolution is more important than efficiency, and the second exposure becomes a state where the efficiency is more important than resolution. In the present invention, the order of the first exposure and the second exposure may be reversed. That is, the pattern shape may be specified in the first exposure and the pattern size may be specified in the second exposure. The exposure device of the present invention may include at least a predetermined reference position for sequentially positioning a plurality of divided areas on the substrate in the aforementioned control factors changed by the aforementioned control system, the movement state of the substrate stage and the aforementioned positioning The position error allows at least one of the two. Printed here by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the so-called "when sequentially positioning a plurality of divisional areas on the aforementioned substrate at a predetermined reference position" includes the following two: a step-and-repeat exposure device in exposure exposure Positioning of each exposure irradiation of the exposure position during the time step, and positioning of each exposure irradiation of the scan start position in the exposure device of the step scanning method for performing exposure of each exposure irradiation. In addition, the so-called "moving state of the substrate stage" includes both speed and acceleration. 9 This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm). 527636 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention ((f) If the substrate stage movement speed is accelerated when sequentially positioning the plurality of division areas on the substrate at a predetermined reference position, that is, if the step speed between exposure and irradiation is accelerated, That is, the time required for the substrate exposure processing (exposure processing time) can be shortened. However, when the stepping speed is increased, it moves at a higher speed within a limited distance (distance between exposure and irradiation), so the speed is increased or decreased. The absolute value becomes larger, making the vibration larger during positioning. Therefore, the positioning completion time (positioning completion time) will inevitably become longer. Therefore, it is considered to reduce the exposure processing time caused by the step speed increase. And positioning completion time increase, it is very important to change the movement state of the substrate stage to a level that can improve the overall efficiency. If the position error during large positioning is allowable, because the positioning can be completed in a short time, and the next action (such as exposure action) can be started quickly, the overall exposure processing time can be shortened to improve efficiency. If the step speed is increased, although the vibration during positioning will increase, increasing the positioning allowance according to the increase of the step speed can shorten the exposure processing time without increasing the positioning completion time. In the exposure device of the present invention, When the exposure system includes a projection optical system that projects the energy beam emitted from the photomask onto the substrate, the control factors changed by the control system may be set to include a focus deviation at each exposure. For example, when the required exposure accuracy is strict, the allowable focus deviation amount during exposure becomes very small, but if the required exposure precision is low, the allowable focus deviation amount during exposure changes to some extent. Larger with little effect. Therefore, when the required exposure accuracy is strict, the control system Degree applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297_mm) ^ ^ ------------- installation -------- order ------- --Line m V (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) 527636 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (γ) Reduce the allowable focus deviation during exposure according to the required degree値 'When the required exposure accuracy is not so strict, the allowable focus deviation at the time of exposure is set to be large. As a result, compared with the former, the latter has a shorter focus capture time, regardless of the required exposure accuracy 'Compared with the case where the allowable focus deviation at the time of exposure is set to be fixed, the exposure processing time can be shortened. At this time, the exposure accuracy can be fully maintained. In the exposure apparatus of the present invention, when the aforementioned exposure system is provided with a pulsed laser light source as a When the energy beam source of the aforementioned energy beam is emitted, the aforementioned control factors changed by the aforementioned control system can be set to include the intensity and the intensity of the target b before the pulse emitted from the aforementioned pulsed laser light source at each of the aforementioned exposures and irradiated on the substrate. Up to One less. Here, the so-called "energy intensity" includes both the energy irradiated on each unit area of the substrate per unit time and the energy of each pulse. Therefore, the change of energy intensity includes both the change of the illuminance on the substrate and the variation of the pulse energy intensity, which allows the change of 値. If the intensity of the energy beam irradiated on the substrate (irradiance on the substrate) is increased, Shortening the exposure time to the substrate by this amount can therefore improve efficiency due to the shortening of the exposure processing time. In addition to increasing the intensity of the energy beam irradiated on the substrate, in addition to methods such as increasing the energy of each pulse of the energy beam source, or changing the light reduction rate of the light reduction element in the optical path between the energy beam source and the substrate, it can also be achieved by For example, it is easy to change the lighting conditions such as belt lighting, deformed lighting, etc. to normal lighting. However, when the resolution is required for exposure, it is preferable to perform the exposure under an illumination condition where the intensity of the energy beam irradiated to the mask, such as anamorphic illumination, is weaker than that of ordinary illumination. -11-This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 ^ grid (210 X 297 mm) ·,; ii ^^ 1 II n ϋ nnn I— I · na · — n Bn a 0, > n I ϋ I ϋ ϋ n I i, · r 口 V (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 527636

Description of Invention (ίυ) In addition, according to the required exposure accuracy, the unevenness of the energy intensity of the pulse light is different. If the uneven energy intensity of the pulsed light is large, the adjustment time of the amount can be shortened. Also, when the repetition frequency becomes higher, the power also increases, and re-measurement is required, but if the required exposure accuracy is low, even if the re-measurement is omitted, there is no problem. Therefore, 'the omission of remeasurement and the increase in power by increasing the repetition frequency' can shorten the exposure time. In the exposure device of the present invention, among the aforementioned control factors changed by the aforementioned control system, the relative position alignment accuracy of the aforementioned photomask and the aforementioned substrate may be included. In this case, when the required exposure accuracy is relatively strict, the control system also strictly demands the relative positional alignment accuracy of the photomask and the substrate, and when the required exposure accuracy is not too strict, the photomask is reduced accordingly. Relative position alignment accuracy with the substrate. Therefore, compared with the case where the relative positional alignment accuracy of the photomask and the substrate is strictly required at any time, the overall time required for the exposure process including the relative positional alignment of the photomask and the substrate can be shortened. Here, the change of the relative position alignment accuracy of the photomask and the substrate includes the calibration caused by the photomask, and the calibration caused by the substrate. All methods are included. At this time, the aforementioned control factors changed by the aforementioned control system can be set to the mode of reticle calibration or substrate calibration. Alternatively, the aforementioned control factors changed by the aforementioned control system may be set to the number of sampling irradiations or the number of sampling marks during the aforementioned substrate calibration. In addition, the aforementioned control factors changed by the aforementioned control system can be set as the number of sampling marks during the aforementioned mask calibration. 12 ------------- install -------- order --------- line * V (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 527636 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) The exposure device of the present invention, when the aforementioned The exposure system is provided with a mask stage for holding the mask, and a synchronous driving device (at the time of each exposure, the mask stage and the substrate stage are simultaneously driven in a predetermined direction with respect to the energy beam) In the aforementioned control factors changed by the aforementioned control system, it may be set to include at least one of the following: the state of movement of the two stages during each of the aforementioned exposures, and the intensity of the energy beam irradiated on the substrate depending on the state of movement, and It is used to determine the tolerance of the position error of the synchronization between the two carriers. If the moving speed (scanning speed) of the mask stage and the substrate stage is increased during exposure, the obvious exposure time (scanning exposure time) will be shortened. However, at this time, it is necessary to increase the intensity (illumination) of the energy beam irradiated on the substrate depending on the increase of the scanning speed in order to keep the accumulated energy (accumulated exposure amount) of the substrate surface at the target 値. In this case, the width of the scanning direction of the energy beam on the substrate can be increased, or the oscillation frequency (repetition frequency) of the energy beam can be increased. That is, it is only necessary to change at least one of the intensity, width, and oscillation frequency of the energy beam. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. When the tolerance for determining the position error of the synchronous completion of the photomask stage and the substrate stage is increased, it can be synchronized in a shorter time. The next exposure action can be started early, so the efficiency can be improved by shortening the overall exposure time. In addition, when the scanning speed is increased, the acceleration and deceleration speeds before and after the scanning must be increased because the movement range of the mask stage is usually limited, so the synchronization completion time becomes longer. At this time, in response to the increase of the scanning speed, the tolerance of the position error used to determine the synchronization completion is increased, that is, the exposure processing time can be shortened without increasing the synchronization completion time. 13 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 527636 A7 ---- B7 V. Description of the invention "l) Although the exposure device of the present invention can produce complex exposure processing programs (software ) (Including the judgment program that changes the aforementioned control factors according to the required exposure accuracy at each exposure based on self-judgment), add this program to the aforementioned control system, but in the aforementioned control system there is a processing program file (system settings When there are various parameters for controlling the aforementioned exposure system), in the aforementioned processing program file, parameters for performing each of the aforementioned exposures can be individually set. In this case, the operator individually sets the parameters in the processing program file in advance. Set the various parameters used for each exposure. The control system controls the exposure system according to the processing program file. Depending on the required exposure accuracy, the above-mentioned control factors are changed at each exposure. Therefore, it is not necessary to redo it. The above-mentioned complex exposure processing program can be coped with simply by changing the existing processing program file. In the step, by using the exposure method of the present invention, the exposure is improved while maintaining the exposure accuracy fully. Therefore, the yield of micro-elements with fine patterns is not reduced, but the efficiency can be improved and the productivity can be improved. Similarly, In the lithography step, by using the exposure device of the present invention for exposure, it is possible to improve the efficiency while maintaining the exposure accuracy while maintaining the exposure accuracy.

以下,針對此進一步的詳細說明。圖2中,分別槪略 地顯示了,晶圓載台WST之第1次曝光時之曝光照射間步 進時之速度的時間變化(a),與第2次曝光時之曝光照射間 步進時之速度的時間變化(b)。又,圖3A,係顯示對應圖2 中(a)之情形的相對減速結束缉目標値之位置誤差的時間變 化,圖3B,則係顯示對應圖2中(b)之情形的相對減速結束 後目標値之位置誤差的時間變化, 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 由圖2可知,曝光照射間步進時之最高移動速度(步進 速度)較快,而第2次曝光時,曝光照射間步進時間明顯較 短。因此,若加快晶圓載台WST之步進速度,即能縮短晶 圓W之曝光處理所需時間(曝光處理時間)。但是,由於提 高步進速度,即係在有限距離(曝光照射間距離)內以更高 速移動,因此由圖2明顯得知,加減速度之絕對値變大。 其結果,比較圖3A與圖3B可知,定位時之震動變得更大 。因此,若假設例如對判斷定位確定之目標値之位置誤差 (en〇的容許値(通常,係以標準偏差,亦即以RMS値爲基準 加以決定)皆爲相同値A時,步進速度爲高速者,其定位至 34 ϋ張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 527636 A7 B7 五、發明說明( 確定爲止之時間(定位確定時間)必然變長。 因此,主控制裝置20,係根據所要求之曝光精度之數 據,例如根據關於標線板R1之資訊與關於標線板R2之資 訊,於第1次曝光時與第2次曝時,將晶圓載台WST之移 動狀態變更爲圖2所示之狀態,且將第2次曝光時之上述 位置誤差(err)之容許値,變更爲圖3B所示之値B。據此, 如圖3B所示,第2次曝光時之定位完成即快T1。此結果 ,比較圖3A與圖3B可知,不至增加定位確定時間,而能 與第1次曝光時相較縮短第2次曝光時之步進時間。 又,主控制裝置20,與上述同樣的,據所要求之曝光 精度之數據,例如根據關於標線板R1之資訊與關於標線 板R2之資訊,於第1次曝光f與第2次曝時,變更用以進 行曝光之兩載台RST、WST之移動狀態(掃描速度、加減速 度)。當然,與第1次曝光相較係提高了第2次曝光時之掃 描速度。當掃描速度增加時,曝光時間(掃描曝光時間)明 顯縮短。 此時,如前所示,作爲照明條件,由於在第1次曝光 時採用變形照明,在第2次照明時採用通常照明,因此第 2次照明時晶圓面(像面)之照度(照射在晶圓W之能量束強 度)變高。因此,主控制裝置20,根據該照度變化將第2次 曝光時之掃描速度設高,據此隨時將期望之累積曝光量賦 予至晶圓W上之各點。 又,增加掃描速度時,由於標線板載台RST之移動行 程受限而不得不加大掃描(等速同步移動區間)前後之加減 35

據同一位置之容許値來判斷同步確定之結束時,兩載台 RST、WST到達等速同步狀態之時間(同步確定時間)變長。 因此,主控制裝置20,因應增加掃描速度而加大決定同步 確定之位置誤差的容許値,進而與第1次曝光時相較,不 增加第2次曝光時之同步確定時間。 如上述說明般,根據本實施例之曝光裝置100,對同 一晶圓W重複進行二次曝光時,例如,爲了在晶圓W上 燒製極細之獨立線,而對晶圓W上各曝光照射區域使用前 述標線板Rl、R2進行雙重曝光時,主控制裝置20,根據 各次曝光所要求之曝光強度($實施例中,舉一例而言,係 如前述般根據關於標線板Rl、R2之資訊來加以判斷),來 變更: a·相對於用以判斷曝光照射間步進時晶圓載台WST 之移動狀態(步進速度、加減速度)、以及至下一曝光照射 區域之掃描開始位置之定位確定的目標値之位置誤差(err) 容許値; 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 b·決定爲進行曝光時之兩載台RST、WST之移動狀態 (掃描速度、加減速度)、以及因應掃描速度增加之同步確 定之位置誤差的容許値; c·標線板校準之精細模式或快速模式之設定等。 此時,主控制裝置20,無論其控制因素爲何,對要求 曝光精度較嚴格之第1次曝光而言,爲解析力較效率受重 36 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) 527636 A7 B7 五、發明說明

載台WST之速度及加減速度(移動狀態),而僅變更定位時 之位置誤差亦可。當加大該位置誤差之容許値時,由於能 更短時間內判斷定位狀態,而能更快開始下一動作(例如, 爲進行曝光之標線板載台RST、晶圓載台WST之掃描動作 ),因此能縮短全體之曝光處理時間。 又,藉上述b.決定爲進行曝光時之兩載台RST、WST 之移動狀態(掃描速度、加減速度)、以及因應掃描速度增

It can be seen from Figure 2 that the maximum moving speed (stepping speed) when stepping between exposures is faster, and at the second exposure, the exposure The step time between irradiations is significantly shorter. Therefore, if the step speed of the wafer stage WST is increased, the time required for the exposure processing (exposure processing time) of the wafer W can be shortened. However, since increasing the step speed means moving at a higher speed within a limited distance (distance between exposure and irradiation), it is obvious from Fig. 2 that the absolute value of acceleration / deceleration becomes larger. As a result, comparing FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, it can be seen that the vibration during positioning becomes larger. Therefore, if it is assumed that, for example, the position error of the target 确定 determined by positioning determination (the allowable en of en0 (usually, determined based on standard deviation, that is, based on RMS) is the same 値 A, the step speed is For high-speed users, the positioning is to 34.

The determination time) must be longer. Therefore, the main control device 20 is based on the required exposure accuracy data, such as the information about the reticle R1 and the information about the reticle R2. During the second exposure, the movement state of the wafer stage WST is changed to the state shown in FIG. 2, and the allowable threshold of the above-mentioned position error (err) during the second exposure is changed to “B” illustrated in FIG. 3B. Based on this, as shown in FIG. 3B, the positioning at the second exposure is completed quickly T1. As a result, comparing FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, it can be seen that the positioning determination time is not increased, but can be shortened compared with the first exposure. Step time at the second exposure. In addition, the main control device 20 is the same as the above, and according to the required exposure accuracy data, for example, based on the information about the reticle R1 and the information about the reticle R2, the first exposure f and the second exposure are performed. At this time, change the movement state (scanning speed, acceleration / deceleration) of the two stages RST and WST used for exposure. Of course, compared with the first exposure, the scanning speed at the second exposure is increased. When the scanning speed is increased At this time, the exposure time (scanning exposure time) is significantly shortened. At this time, as described above, as the lighting conditions, the distortion lighting is used in the first exposure and the normal lighting is used in the second lighting, so the second lighting At that time, the illuminance of the wafer surface (image surface) (the intensity of the energy beam irradiated on the wafer W) becomes higher. Therefore, the main control device 20 sets the scanning speed at the second exposure time to be high according to the illuminance change. The desired cumulative exposure is given to each point on the wafer W. In addition, when the scanning speed is increased, because the moving stroke of the reticle board stage RST is limited, it is necessary to increase the number Add and subtract 35 sheets Applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) ------------- installation -------- order --------- line (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 527636 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Speed. Therefore, the target speed after the acceleration of the two carrier RST and WST ends The error (thus, the error of the target position) becomes larger. As a result, when the end of the synchronization determination is judged according to the allowable threshold of the same position, the time when the two carriers RST and WST reach the isochronous synchronization state (synchronization determination time) Therefore, the main control device 20 increases the allowable error of the position error that determines the synchronization determination in response to an increase in the scanning speed, and further does not increase the synchronization determination time at the second exposure as compared with that at the first exposure. As described above, according to the exposure apparatus 100 of this embodiment, when the second exposure is repeated on the same wafer W, for example, in order to burn extremely fine independent lines on the wafer W, each exposure is irradiated on the wafer W. When the area is double-exposed using the aforementioned reticle R1, R2, the main control device 20, according to the exposure intensity required for each exposure (in the embodiment, for example, it is based on the reticle R1, R2 information to judge), to change: a.

At this time, the main control device 20, regardless of its control factors, is heavier for resolution than efficiency for the first exposure that requires stricter exposure accuracy. 36 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 527636 A7 B7 V. State of the Invention For the exposures that require less precise exposure, on the contrary, the efficiency is more important than the resolution. (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Borrowing the above a. Position error (err) with respect to the target position determined by the positioning of the wafer stage WST (step speed, acceleration / deceleration) used to determine the step between exposure irradiations and the positioning of the scan start position to the next exposure irradiation area As described above, as described above, since the positioning time is not increased, the step time at the second exposure can be shortened compared to the first exposure time. Therefore, the exposure processing time can be shortened as a result. However, it is not necessary to change the speed and acceleration / deceleration (moving state) of the wafer stage WST when considering the reduction of the exposure processing time and the increase of the positioning determination time caused by the increase of the step speed. ) In order to improve the overall efficiency, Li Heng uses the same 値 as the target for determining the above positioning determination. The relative position error (err) is allowed. It can also be printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs or in the first section. During the second exposure and the second exposure, the speed and acceleration / deceleration (moving state) of the wafer stage WST are not changed, and only the position error during positioning can be changed. When the tolerance of the position error is increased, the next operation can be started faster because the positioning status can be determined in a shorter time (for example, the scanning operation of the reticle on-board stage RST and the wafer stage WST for exposure) ), So the overall exposure processing time can be shortened. Also, borrow the above b. Determine the change of the movement state (scanning speed, acceleration / deceleration) of the two stages RST and WST during the exposure and the allowable change of the position error determined synchronously in response to the increase of the scanning speed. The synchronous determination time is increased by 37 compared with the first exposure.

Invention Explanation (》 () 'The scan speed at the second exposure can shorten the scan exposure time. However, it is not limited to this, as long as the scan exposure processing time reduction and synchronization determination time caused by the increase in scan speed are considered Add to change the moving state (speed and acceleration / deceleration) of the wafer stage during WST scanning to improve the overall efficiency, even if the same frame is always used as the allowable frame for judging the position error (err) determined by the above synchronization. , Do not change the scanning speed of reticle board stage RST and wafer stage WST, etc., but increase the position error used to determine the synchronization determination of the two stages Zhi also allowable. In this case, i.e., shorter time to determine the synchronized state, it is possible to quickly start the next exposure operation (exposure action of the exposure light beam IL), and the overall exposure time can be shortened. By the above-described C. Compared with the first exposure, the time required for the second calibration of the reticle calibration is significantly reduced. Compared with the fine-line reticle calibration performed during each exposure, it can be improved. effectiveness. The calibration of the reticle is performed because the relative position of the reticle and the wafer overlaps. Therefore, in this embodiment, the main control device 20 uses the means of changing the reticle calibration mode as a result of changing the exposure. The relative position of the timing mark plate pattern and the wafer overlaps with accuracy. According to the exposure apparatus 100 of this embodiment, as a. Various efficiency control factors of ~ c · are changed by the main control device 20 according to the required exposure accuracy in the aforementioned manner. Therefore, when performing the above double exposure on the same wafer, the exposure is controlled according to the same efficiency control factor every time Compared with the situation of the system 102, the efficiency can be obviously improved. On the one hand, since the second exposure is not so high in the required exposure accuracy, in other words, 'only some kind of 38 ----- ^ -------- install is allowed -------- Order --------- line (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (21 × X 297 mm) Employees of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by a consumer cooperative 527636 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (&y;) When the degree of exposure accuracy is reduced, the efficiency control factor is changed in a manner that places greater emphasis on efficiency, so the result is that it can maintain sufficient accuracy in terms of exposure accuracy. Again, the above a. ~ C. For the efficiency control factor, for example, the above-mentioned c. Factors change. That is, in the first exposure and the second exposure, it is also possible to change only at least one efficiency control factor related to the exposure operation (other than calibration). That is, the above description is made on the double exposure for firing an independent line pattern with extremely fine line width on the wafer W, but it is not limited to this. Similarly, as long as it includes the first In the case of the double exposure and the second exposure for specifying the pattern shape, the exposure device 100 of this embodiment can substantially maintain the exposure accuracy and improve the efficiency in substantially the same manner as described above. . As another example of the aforementioned double exposure method, for example, there is also the following exposure method, that is, using a longer L / S or independent line than the set 値 (the 要 to be finally obtained) as the first pattern, and copying the first In the case of 1 pattern, anamorphic lighting or phase-shift graticules are used to improve the resolution and depth of focus (DOF). In order to remove small portions of the two ends of the line patterns, the frame pattern corresponding to each line pattern is used as The second pattern is reproduced under normal lighting conditions. This exposure method is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-284377 and the corresponding U.S. Patent Application No. 055,949 (application date: April 7, 1998), etc. The disclosure of this U.S. patent application is referred to as part of this specification Record. As another example, for example, it is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-166717 and the like.

Description of the invention (> /) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) The proposed optical short-range correction pattern (〇PC, optical piOximity correction pattern). The 〇PC is fired not only for the circuit pattern 'required for the first exposure, but also for the unnecessary pattern. In the second exposure, although the unnecessary pattern is eliminated, the accuracy of the first exposure is not required for the second exposure. Therefore, similar to the above, changing the efficiency control factor (changing the control accuracy) according to the required exposure accuracy can shorten the time required for the second exposure and improve the efficiency. In addition, although the above embodiment has described the case of double exposure on the same wafer, the method of changing the efficiency control factor (changing the control accuracy) according to the required exposure accuracy can also be fully applied to triple exposures or more. Multiple exposures should not be specified here. In addition, the description so far has been described in the case where the present invention is applicable to multiple exposures such as double exposure. However, if the exposure accuracy required for each exposure is different, the patterns are bonded and copied on the same wafer (substrate). The present invention can also be applied to the joint exposure of adjacent regions on the same surface. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. In addition, if the exposure accuracy required for each (each layer) exposure is different, the first exposure and the second exposure can be for different layers of the same wafer (substrate). exposure. At this time, as in the foregoing, the first exposure is used to specify the pattern size, and the second exposure is used to specify the pattern shape. In this case, as long as the control accuracy at the time of the second exposure (based on the above embodiment, for example, due to the aforementioned a. ~ C. The efficiency control factor is changed. The accuracy can be set lower than the control accuracy at the first exposure. In this way, similar to the above-mentioned embodiment, it is possible to maintain sufficient exposure accuracy while improving efficiency. 40 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 527636 _ B7_ V. Description of invention ((Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) For example, when exposing different layers of the same wafer, the main control device 20 can change the wafer stage WST of the wafer stage during the exposure step in the same way as in the above embodiment, depending on the exposure accuracy required for the exposure of each layer. At least one of the movement status and the position error tolerance during positioning, the scanning status of the graticule board stage RST and wafer stage WST (scanning speed, acceleration and deceleration) during scanning exposure and the corresponding determination of wafer surface illuminance and synchronization The determined position error allows at least one of them, or the aforementioned calibration mode of the on-board stage, or all of them. It can also replace or add the main control device 20 for exposure after the second layer. Change of required exposure accuracy If the exposure of each layer advances f, the number of sampling exposures or sampling marks of EGA will be described. At this time, when the required exposure accuracy is stricter, increase EGA The number of sampling exposure exposures is not so strict Bf. If the number of sampling exposure exposures is reduced, it will not be affected by the required exposure accuracy. Compared with the case where the number of sampling exposure exposures with the same number is constantly required, Improve the efficiency. Also, it can fully maintain the exposure accuracy. At this time, the relative position alignment of the reticle and the wafer is changed due to the change in the number of exposure exposures of the EGA sampling. It is self-explanatory. Also, a plurality of Wafer calibration mode (for example, EGA mode including weighting the position information based on the EGA mode and the weight of the distance between the exposure exposures that should be calculated for each sample exposure during the exposure exposure), and change the position according to the aforementioned exposure accuracy. Instead of the above description or adding the main control device 20, depending on the required exposure accuracy, change the energy non-uniformity allowance of the pulsed light emitted from the light source 1 to the wafer w at each exposure, and the repetition frequency At least one of them can also be used as an efficiency control factor. If the energy intensity of the pulse light is not uniform 41 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) " Printed by the Employees' Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 527636 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention ($ 〇) The allowable increase of the nature can shorten the adjustment time of the weight. Also, If the repetition frequency becomes higher, the power will increase accordingly, and re-measurement is required, but if the required exposure accuracy is low, even if the re-measurement is omitted, there is no hindrance. Therefore, the omission of re-measurement and the repetition of lift The frequency increases the power (in the case of a scanning exposure device, the scanning speed must be adjusted accordingly), which can shorten the exposure time. In addition, although the above embodiment is based on the required exposure accuracy of the main control device 20, The case of changing the foregoing efficiency control factors according to one's own judgment during the second exposure has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, as in the above embodiment, when the control system has a processing program file that sets various parameters for controlling the exposure system, it can also be set in the processing program file and set individually. Parameters related to the aforementioned control factors used in each exposure. In this case, the operator individually sets various parameters used for each exposure in the processing program file in advance, and the control system controls the exposure system according to the processing program file. Based on this, according to the required exposure accuracy, The above control factors are changed at each exposure. Therefore, it is not necessary to re-create a complex processing program (software) including a judgment program, and it is sufficient to simply change the existing processing program file. Moreover, although the above embodiment is a scanning type that is suitable for the step scanning method according to the present invention, The case of the exposure device has been described, but the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also very suitable for a stationary exposure type exposure device such as a stepper. In the case of a stepper, instead of the efficiency control factors explained so far (except for those related to scanning) or at the same time, the control system will change each time the 42 scales apply the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297) (Mm) " ------------- install -------- order --------- line. -(Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 527636 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (1ψ /) Focus deviation during exposure is acceptable. For example, when the required exposure accuracy is strict, the allowable focus deviation amount during exposure becomes very small. If the required exposure precision is low, the allowable focus deviation amount during exposure will not be affected even if it is slightly larger. Therefore, 'control system, when the required exposure accuracy is stricter', correspondingly reduce the focus deviation allowance during exposure, and when the required exposure accuracy is not so strict, set the focus deviation allowable during exposure to a larger value. . As a result, compared with the former, the focus setting time for the latter becomes shorter. Regardless of the required exposure accuracy, the exposure processing time can be shortened compared with the case where the focus deviation tolerance during exposure is set to a certain value. At this time, sufficient exposure accuracy can be maintained. If it is a stepper, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-122473 and corresponding US Patent Application No. 240,599 (filed on February 1, 1999). It is revealed that there is a calibration method that uses the same method as EGA on the reticle (reticle) side, and uses a projection optical system to obtain the reticle magnification and rotation. However, depending on the required exposure accuracy, it can be changed. The number of sampling marks of the EGA can also change the relative position alignment accuracy of the photomask and the substrate. In this case, the disclosure of the above-mentioned U.S. patent application is used as a part of the description. In the case of a stepper, if the intensity of the energy beam irradiated on the substrate (irradiance on the substrate) is increased, the exposure time to the substrate can be shortened, so the efficiency can be improved by shortening the exposure processing time. When changing the illuminance on the substrate, if the energy beam source is a pulsed laser light source, it can also be performed such as: the repetition frequency is set to a higher frequency, increasing the energy of each pulse from the energy beam source, or changing the energy Reduction of the light reduction element in the optical path between the beam source and the substrate 43 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) ----------------- ---- Order ---------, ψ I (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 527636 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumers' Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5.
