Abstract

An exposure apparatus transfers an image of a pattern on a reticle onto a wafer W by synchronously scanning the reticle and the wafer with respect to a projection optical system in a state in which the reticle is illuminated with an exposure light beam from an exposure light source subjected to pulse light emission via a fly's eye lens, a movable blind, a main condenser lens system, and a fixed blind. First and second uneven illuminance-correcting plates, on which shielding line groups for correcting convex and concave uneven illuminance are depicted, are arranged at a position defocused from a conjugate plane with respect to a pattern plane of the reticle. A third correcting plate for roughly correcting uneven illuminance is arranged at a position further defocused therefrom. It is possible to enhance the uniformity of the totalized exposure amount on the wafer or the telecentricity when the exposure is performed in accordance with the scanning exposure system.

544755 A7 ---- ---B7___ 五、發明說明(/ ) 【技術領域】 本發明係關於用以製造半導體元件、液晶顯示元件、 電發顯7TC兀件、微機械或薄膜磁頭等元件之微影步驟,將 光罩圖案轉印在基板上所使用之掃描曝光型之曝光方法及 曝光裝置,特別是在使用脈衝光作爲曝光用光之場合最爲 適合。 【習知技術】 例如,爲了應付半導體之集積度以及微細度之提升, 在用以製造半導體元件之微影步驟(代表性上以光阻塗布 步驟、曝光步驟和光阻顯像步驟所構成)中的曝光步驟所 使用之曝光裝置,解像力和轉印保真度被要求以更高等級 。因而,隨著投影光學系統之數値孔徑漸漸變大,以曝光 光束而言之曝光用光之波長傾向Ki*F準分子雷射(波長 248nm),甚至是ArF準分子雷射(波長193nm)之短波長 化。如此短波長之曝光用光之光源,目前只是如準分子雷 射般之脈衝光源。又,爲了提高解像力等,有必要提高以 適當曝光量將塗布在作爲基板之晶圓上之光阻曝光之曝光 量控制精度。 又,最近投影光學系統沒有大型化,曝光領域(晶圓 上的各照射領域)變大,爲了使曝光步驟之產能提升,而 相對於投影光學系統同步掃描作爲光罩之標線片和晶圓之 步進掃描(step and·scan)方式等之掃描曝光型的投影曝光裝 置(以下,稱爲「掃描型曝光裝置」)已被開發。在此種 掃描型曝光裝置,晶圓上之累計曝光量,:雖對掃描方向藉 3 (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) - 訂: 線 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) 544755 A7 _ __B7___ 五、發明說明(\ ) 由積分效果被平均化’但對與掃描方向正交之非掃描方向 ,例如狹縫狀之照明領域內之非掃描方向之照度不均之影 響就照原樣顯現出來。就其此對策而言’例如日本專利特 開平7— 142313號公報和對應之EPO,633,506A1,揭示對應 於實際之累計曝光量使規定照明領域之形狀之視野光圏的 開口的形狀機械性地變化,或將前述視野光圈機械性地切 換之方法。 如上所述’在掃描型曝光裝置爲進行曝光量控制’視 野光圈之開口形狀機械性地切換之方法在曝光用光爲水銀 燈之光線(1線等)般之連續光之場合是有效的。但是’即 使在掃描型曝光裝置’現狀係作爲曝光用光之短波長之比

如所謂之變形照明法在瞳面之曝光用光之分布持續著非軸 對稱的狀態時,折射構件之透射率變動亦形成非軸對稱, 在照明領域(又爲曝光領域)之照度分布於非掃描方向變 成不均一,有累計曝光量之不平均變大之疑慮。進而,該 透射率變動在以光軸外之點爲中心之場合,亦有對於標線 片或晶圓之曝光用光之遠心性之崩離量超過容許範圍之疑 慮。 -線 如此,例如由光學構件之霧化和劣化,而產生透射率 分布之經常的變動,在照明領域(或曝光領域)之照明分 布於非掃描方向變成不均一之場合,藉由交換前述光學構 件雖能改善前述不均一性,但交換方面需要相當之時間。 又,雖考慮過設計光學構件之交換機構,但此會導致曝光 裝置大型化,且製造成本亦上升。 【發明槪要】 本發明鑑於此點,本發明之第1目的,係提供在以掃 描方式進行曝光之場合,能提高在晶圓上之累計曝光量之 均一性’或提局曝光用光之遠心性之曝光方法。 本發明第2目的進一步提供在使用作爲曝光光束之脈 衝光進fji市描曝光之場合’能提筒在晶圓上之累計曝光量 之均一性之曝光方法。 5 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) 544755 A7 —_____B7____ 五、發明說明(0) / 又,本發明之第3目的係提供以掃描曝光方式進行曝 光之場合’在至晶圓之曝光用光之光程上即使產生光學構

而能兼顧以該整數脈衝進行曝光之條件和非掃描方向之照 度不均之控制。 又,較佳在透過一段或複數段之光學積分器(均一器 或均化器)(6, 9)提高前述曝光光束之照度分布之均一性 之後,控制前述曝光光束之透射率。藉由在通過積分器後 控制透射率,能容易且高精度地補正照射系統之經常的透 射率分布的變動等。 又,較佳係將相對於該曝光光束之透射率之沿該非掃 描方向之分布作成可變,藉由對該曝光光束之透射率之控

Description of the Invention (/) [Technical Field] The present invention relates to the use of components for manufacturing semiconductor elements, liquid crystal display elements, 7TC elements, micromechanics, or thin-film magnetic heads. The lithography step is a scanning exposure type exposure method and an exposure device used for transferring a photomask pattern onto a substrate, and is particularly suitable in the case where pulsed light is used as the exposure light. [Knowledge technology] For example, in order to cope with the increase in the degree of integration and fineness of semiconductors, in the lithography step (typically, a photoresist coating step, an exposure step, and a photoresist development step) for manufacturing a semiconductor device The exposure device used in the exposure step is required to have higher resolution and transfer fidelity. Therefore, as the numerical aperture of the projection optical system gradually increases, the wavelength of the exposure light in terms of the exposure beam tends to Ki * F excimer laser (wavelength 248nm), or even ArF excimer laser (wavelength 193nm) Short wavelength. The light source for such short-wavelength exposure light is currently only a pulsed light source such as excimer laser. In addition, in order to improve the resolution and the like, it is necessary to improve the exposure amount control accuracy of exposing a photoresist applied on a wafer as a substrate with an appropriate exposure amount. In addition, recently, the projection optical system has not been enlarged, and the exposure area (each irradiation area on the wafer) has become larger. In order to improve the productivity of the exposure step, the reticle and wafers used as the photomask are scanned synchronously with the projection optical system. A scanning exposure type projection exposure device (hereinafter, referred to as a “scanning type exposure device”) such as a step and scan method has been developed. In this scanning type exposure device, the cumulative exposure on the wafer: Although borrowing 3 from the scanning direction (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page)-Order: The paper size of the thread applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 544755 A7 _ __B7___ V. Description of the invention (\) Averaged by the integration effect 'but for non-scanning directions orthogonal to the scanning direction, such as non-scanning in the slit-shaped lighting field The effect of uneven illuminance in the direction appears as it is. With regard to this countermeasure, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-142313 and corresponding EPO, 633,506 A1, reveal the shape of an opening that mechanically obscures the field of vision of a shape in a predetermined lighting field corresponding to the actual cumulative exposure amount. Change, or mechanically switch the aforementioned field of view aperture. As described above, the method of mechanically switching the aperture shape of the field diaphragm in order to control the exposure amount of the scanning exposure device is effective when the exposure light is continuous light such as the light of a mercury lamp (1 line, etc.). However, the current status of "even in a scanning exposure device" is that pulsed light with a relatively short oscillation frequency and a short wavelength of exposure light is continuously used. "When such a pulsed light is used, it is necessary to uniformize the cumulative exposure amount. The width of the scanning direction of the exposure area on the wafer is determined by substantially exposing each point on the wafer with an integer pulse amount. In this case, if the shape of the opening of the field of view light is mechanically switched, there is a concern that the exposure condition of the aforementioned integer pulse amount may not be satisfied on the wafer, so the field of light of the field of view is mechanically switched. The method of opening shape has little practicality. In addition, the number of irradiated pulsed lights is made an integer at each point on the wafer, and is disclosed in, for example, U.S. Patent No. 6,078,381. In the case where the exposure light is ultraviolet light, a haze is generated on the surfaces of the optical members constituting the illumination optical system and the projection optical system in sequence by the reaction of organic substances in the atmosphere with the exposure light, etc. The transmittance of the optical system has been low for a long time. Furthermore, when the light used for exposure is at a wavelength of 200nm 4; ---------------- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) -TJ_--Dimensions for line paper China National Standard (CNS) A4 Specification (210 X 297 mm) 544755 A7 ___B7_ V. Description of the Invention (^) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) For pulsed light in the vacuum ultraviolet range below the level, borrow Refraction members in the illumination optical system and the projection optical system are sequentially deteriorated by a so-called compaction or the like, and such a phenomenon that the transmittance sequentially changes also occurs. Such a change in the transmittance also exists in the optical path of the exposure light. Therefore, when the distribution of the exposure light on the pupil surface using a so-called deformed illumination method continues to be non-axisymmetric, the transmittance of the refractive member changes. It also forms non-axisymmetric, and the illuminance distribution in the illumination area (also the exposure area) becomes uneven in the non-scanning direction, and there is a concern that the unevenness of the cumulative exposure amount becomes large. Further, when the change in the transmittance is centered on a point outside the optical axis, there is also a concern that the telecentricity of the reticle or wafer exposes light with a disintegration amount exceeding an allowable range. -The line is such that, for example, the haze and deterioration of the optical member cause frequent changes in the transmittance distribution. When the illumination distribution in the illumination field (or exposure field) becomes non-uniform in the non-scanning direction, the foregoing optical system is exchanged. Although the component can improve the aforementioned non-uniformity, it takes considerable time to exchange. In addition, although the design of the exchange mechanism of the optical member has been considered, this will lead to an increase in the size of the exposure device and increase the manufacturing cost. [Summary of the invention] In view of this point, the first object of the present invention is to improve the uniformity of the cumulative exposure amount on the wafer when the exposure is performed by scanning, or to raise the exposure light. Telecentricity exposure method. The second object of the present invention further provides an exposure method capable of improving the uniformity of the cumulative exposure amount on the wafer in the case of using pulsed light as an exposure light beam to enter fji city exposure. 5 This paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 544755 A7 —_____ B7____ 5. Description of the invention (0) / In addition, the third object of the present invention is to provide scanning exposure 'Even if there is a change in the optical member or optical characteristics in the optical path of the exposure light to the wafer, for example, even if there is a change in transmittance (including a change in reflectance), it is easy to increase the uniformity of the cumulative exposure on the wafer. 1 life, or exposure method using telecentricity of light. Another object of the present invention is to provide an exposure apparatus capable of using the exposure method, and a method for manufacturing a high-precision element using the exposure method. According to the first exposure method of the present invention, an exposure beam is used to illuminate the photomask (R), the photomask and the substrate (W) are scanned simultaneously, and the photomask is exposed through the pattern of the photomask. In the optical path of the exposure beam, the control controls the transmittance of the exposure beam with a predetermined distribution with respect to a non-scanning direction (X direction) that intersects with the scanning direction (Y direction) of the substrate. According to the present invention, the transmittance of the transmitting member or the reflectance of the reflecting member in the irradiation system of the exposure beam (such as an illumination system or a projection system) varies, for example, from the monitoring position of the energy of the exposure beam to the aforementioned substrate. When the transmittance of the whole is changed sequentially, the transmittance of the exposure light beam is controlled by the distribution of the amount of variation in the non-scanning direction to offset each other. Therefore, the uneven illumination in the non-scanning direction on the substrate is reduced, and the uniformity of the cumulative exposure amount after the scanning exposure on the substrate is improved. When the transmittance of the exposure beam changes around, for example, a point far from the optical axis, the telecentricity of the exposure beam on the mask or the substrate changes, so the transmittance of the exposure beam is controlled to offset the Transmission and emissivity changes. Therefore, even if the height of the aforementioned reticle or substrate changes, please cast the image 6 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Order · · Line · ^ The paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 x 297) ) 544755 A7 ___B7_ 5. The description of the invention (() does not produce positional deviations, etc. In the present invention, when the aforementioned exposure beam is pulsed light, it is preferred that the exposure area (35P) on the aforementioned substrate of the aforementioned exposure beam should be The width of the substrate in the scanning direction is determined by the point at which the exposure object on the substrate passes through the exposure field, and the exposure beam is substantially irradiated with an integer pulse for the point of the exposure object. For example, 'use as the exposure beam standard In the case of molecular laser light, under the condition that the frequency of the aforementioned pulsed light is not too high, and in order to increase the throughput and increase the scanning speed of the substrate for scanning exposure, if the points on the substrate are not only the same integer pulse light, When the exposure is performed, there is a concern that the cumulative exposure amount unevenness of about 1 pulse light amount may be generated on the substrate at the maximum. The width of the scanning direction in the aforementioned exposure field is fixed, and since the transmittance of the exposure light is controlled, it is possible to take into account the conditions for exposure with the integer pulse and the control of uneven illumination in the non-scanning direction. Or plural optical integrators (homogeneizers or homogenizers) (6, 9) after increasing the uniformity of the illuminance distribution of the aforementioned exposure beam, the transmittance of the aforementioned exposure beam is controlled. By controlling the transmittance after passing through the integrator It is possible to easily and accurately correct the variation of the regular transmittance distribution of the irradiation system, etc. It is also preferable to make the distribution of the transmittance in the non-scanning direction relative to the exposure beam variable, and to adjust the exposure The transmittance of the light beam is controlled to correct the uneven illuminance of the substrate in the non-scanning direction with respect to the exposure light beam. Even if the illuminance of the exposure light beam is uneven in the scanning direction on the substrate, exposure from scanning is performed. The accumulated point effect is cumulatively exposed 7 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) -------- Order --------- · The scale applies to China Home Standard (CNS) A4 Specification (210 X 297 mm) '" 544755 A7 _____B7 __ V. Description of the Invention (i7) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) The unevenness of light quantity does not substantially occur. In this regard, no integration effect is generated in the non-scanning direction of the substrate, so the uneven illumination in the non-scanning direction is not generated, so the uniformity of the cumulative exposure amount in the non-scanning direction is increased upward. Furthermore, the transmission of the exposure beam in advance The predetermined variable distribution of the rate with respect to the scanning direction of the substrate can be adjusted by controlling the transmittance of the exposure beam to compensate for the telecentric aberration of the exposure beam to the mask or the substrate. Even if there is a transmittance distribution in the scanning direction, it has almost no effect on the cumulative exposure, but it can correct the telecentric aberration of the scanning direction. Also, as described above, in order to control the transmittance of the exposure beam, for example, for the photomask The pattern surface, or the areas that are common to this surface, are only defocused at predetermined intervals, preferably with a transmittance with a variable transmittance distribution along the non-scanning direction of the substrate Fabric control means (23A, 23B, 24) partially shielding the exposure light beam. In this way, since the exposure light beam is partially shielded by defocusing from the pattern surface of the mask (or its conjugate surface), 'the image of the shading pattern of the transmittance distribution control member is scattered on the mask' All the points on the substrate are almost uniformly illuminated by the exposure light beam sequentially, and the uniformity of the cumulative exposure amount is increased upward. In addition, it is preferable that the transmittance distribution control member includes, for example, a first group of plural light-shielding lines (28A, 29A) for changing a light-shielding area with a predetermined distribution along a non-scanning direction of the substrate; and the first group of light-shielding lines Lines of the second group of multiple light-shielding lines (28B, 29B) with substantially the same pattern; making the light path of the first group of light-shielding lines and the second group of light-shielding lines to the exposure beam substantially symmetrical along the scanning direction of the substrate, respectively The action of disengagement, and applying the Chinese paper standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) to the 1st and 8th paper sizes. 544755 A7 _____ B7 _ 5. Description of the invention () 2 sets of multiple shading lines, respectively The movement along the non-scanning direction of the substrate is used separately. The light-shielding line may be, for example, an aggregate of minute dot patterns, or a translucent pattern that allows the exposure light beam to be transmitted to some extent. By inserting and removing the shading lines of the two groups substantially symmetrically along the scanning direction, the telecentricity will not be affected, and the uneven illumination unevenness of the convexity or concaveness of the axial symmetry can be corrected. On the other hand, by moving the shading lines of the two groups in the non-scanning direction, unevenness in illuminance between the convex or concave portions separated from the optical axis, or unevenness in illuminance inclined in the non-scanning direction can be corrected. In addition, the first plurality of light-shielding lines (28A, 28B) are preferably arranged in order to change the pitch in order along the scanning direction of the substrate. Thereby, the diffraction pattern (ie, uneven illumination) of the exposure light beam is prevented from being generated by the plurality of shading lines. The same effect can also be obtained by a plurality of light-shielding lines arranged at approximately a certain pitch slightly inclined to each other. In addition, when the exposure light beam is pulse light, the interval of the substrate movement between the periods of the pulse light emission of the exposure light beam is converted into the length of the interval of the positions of the first plurality of light-shielding lines. The distance between the first plurality of shading lines is different. This prevents a defocused image of a certain light-shielding line from being transferred to the substrate. In addition, the transmittance distribution control member further includes a third group of multiple light-shielding lines (26A ~ 26C, 27A ~ 27C) 'In order to roughly correct the uneven illumination in the non-scanning direction of the exposure beam', it is preferable to set the optical path of the third group of multiple shading lines to the exposure beam along the scanning direction and non-scanning direction of the substrate. At least one moves. 9 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Order --------- line 544755 A7 __ B7 _ 5 (Explanation of the invention) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) The second exposure method of the present invention is to expose the substrate by illuminating the mask with an exposure beam and scanning the substrate with the exposure beam through the mask.

Further, it is preferable that an optical integrator (6, 9) of one stage or plural stages is arranged between the exposure light source and the transmittance distribution controlling member. In addition, it is preferable that the transparent filtering distribution correction member includes a first group of plural light-shielding lines (28A, 29A) which sequentially change the light-shielding area along the non-scanning direction of the substrate, and a first group of light-shielding lines having substantially the same shape as the first group of light-shielding lines. 2 sets of multiple shading lines (28B, 29B). In addition, the transmittance distribution control member preferably further includes a third light shielding line (26A) having a larger light shielding area change amount than the first light shielding line and the second light shielding line along the non-scanning direction of the substrate. (~ 26C, 27A ~ 27C). The second exposure device of the present invention illuminates the photomask with an exposure beam, scans the photomask and the substrate synchronously, and exposes the substrate through the pattern of the photomask, which includes: a measuring device, a measuring edge and the substrate The illuminance of the exposure beam in the non-scanning direction intersecting with the scanning direction is uneven; the light-shielding plate has a light-shielding pattern that adjusts the illuminance distribution of the exposure light beam in the non-scanning direction; a driving device that drives the light-shielding plate; The device shifts the shading plate in the path of the exposure beam to correct the uneven illumination.

During the period of one cycle, the substrate is moved substantially a multiple of the distance along the scanning direction. As a result, during the scanning exposure, when each point on the substrate moves the inclined portion of the illuminance distribution, the exposure beam is exposed only at an integer pulse amount common to each point. Therefore, the cumulative exposure amount is uniformized. In this case, it is better to use the exposure collar of the exposure beam on the substrate. 12 The paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm).

[Preferred Embodiment of the Invention] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is applicable to a case where exposure is performed by a scanning exposure type projection exposure device (scanning exposure device) formed by a step-and-scan method, and the present invention is applicable. Fig. 1 shows a schematic structure of the projection exposure apparatus of this embodiment. Here, in Fig. 1, an exposure light source uses an ArF excimer laser light source (wavelength 157 nm) as a pulse light source. · However, the exposure light source 15 paper ^ degree is applicable to the Zhongguanjia Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 male-(Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page)-544755 A7 _____ Β7 _____ 5. Description of the invention (丨 + ), Using fiber amplifiers to amplify KrF excimer laser (wavelength 248 nm), F2 laser (wavelength 157 nm), Kr2 laser (wavelength 146 nm), YAG laser's higher harmonic generation device, and After light from a semiconductor laser, non-linear optical crystals can be used to convert light sources such as wavelengths up to a wavelength of less than 200 nm in the vacuum ultraviolet range. Although these light sources are pulsed light sources, The molecular laser light source has a relatively low oscillating frequency of several kHz, and the oscillating frequency of a light source device that converts light from a semiconductor laser to wavelength can be as high as 100 kHz as continuous light. The exposure light IL (exposure beam) formed by the ultraviolet pulse light with a wavelength of 193 nm from the light source 1 is incident through a beam matching unit (BMU) 2 for matching the optical path position with the exposure device body. In the variable dimmer 3 as an optical attenuator. An exposure control unit 21 for controlling the exposure amount to the photoresist on the wafer controls the start and stop of the light emission of the exposure light source 1 and the output (oscillation frequency, pulse Energy) and adjust the light reduction rate in the variable light reducer 3 stepwise or continuously. The exposure light IL passing through the light reducer 3 passes through the first lens system 4A and the first lens system 4A arranged along a predetermined optical axis. The beam shaping system constituted by the second lens system 4B is incident on the first-stage optical integrator (homogenizer or homogenizer 1) 1 fly-eye lens 6. From this, the first fly-eye lens 6 is used for exposure The light IL passes through the first lens system 7A, the reflection mirror 8 for optical path refraction, and the second lens system 7B, and is incident on the second fly-eye lens 9 as the second-stage optical integrator. That is, the reticle r of the exposure object is shown in Figure 16.

Description of Invention (I [) The optical Fourier conversion surface (the pupil surface of the lighting system) 'opening diaphragm plate 10 is rotatably arranged by a drive motor 10e. In the opening diaphragm plate 10, a circular opening diaphragm 10a for general lighting is used, Opening light 圏 i0b for wheel lighting as an example of deformation lighting, opening light 圏 (not shown) for 4-pole lighting consisting of four eccentric small openings as other examples of deformation lighting, and small coherence The small circular opening light beam (not shown) used for the coefficient (σ 値) is switched freely. The opening light beam plate 10 and the drive motor 10e constitute a lighting condition that converts the lighting condition into a plurality of lighting conditions ( Any of the "lighting condition switching systems" that switch the lighting conditions, such as normal lighting, deformed lighting, and small σ 値 lighting, and the main control system 22, which controls the overall operation of the control device, sets the lighting conditions through the drive motor 10e. In the case of anamorphic lighting (belt lighting, quadrupole lighting, etc.), in order to obtain a high illuminance (pulse energy) that improves the utilization efficiency of the exposure light IL, it is preferable that the exposure is performed at the stage of entering the second fly-eye lens 9 The cross-sectional shape of the light IL is shaped into a substantially belt-shaped area. Therefore, the first fly-eye lens can be replaced by a diffractive optical element (DOE) composed of, for example, an aggregate of a plurality of phase-type diffraction lattices. In addition, the lighting condition switching system is not limited to the above-mentioned structure, and may be combined in the aperture diaphragm plate 10, or a cone-shaped and / or zoom optical system and a diffractive optical element may be used alone. For the optical integrator of the second paragraph, when an internal reflection integrator is used, for example, DOE, cone 稜鏡, or polyhedron 稜鏡 is used, and it is inclined with respect to the optical axis IAX of the lighting system. After the exposure light IL is enclosed in the internal reflection type integrator, the incident angle range of the exposure light IL on the aforementioned incident surface is changed according to the lighting conditions. π This paper size applies the Zhongguanjia Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 public love) "-(Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Order--line 544755 A7 ______B7 V. Description of the invention ( ^) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) In Figure 1, the second fly-eye lens 9 is set with an opening light 圏 10a for general lighting, which is emitted from the second fly-eye lens 9 and passes through the opening light. The radon exposure light IL is incident on the beam splitter 11 having a high transmittance and a low reflectance. The exposure light reflected by the beam splitter 11 which is the energy monitoring point of the exposure beam passes through the lens 18 for condensing and enters the integral sensor 19 composed of a photodetector, and the detection of the integral sensor 19 The signal S1 is supplied to the exposure control unit 21. Because the exposure light IL is pulsed light, the detection signal S1 is converted into digital data by a peak-to-peak hold circuit and an analog / digital (A / D) converter in the exposure control unit. The relationship between the detection signal of the integration sensor 20 and the illuminance of the exposure light IL on the wafer W as the substrate to be exposed is, for example, measured periodically and with high accuracy as required, and then stored in the exposure control unit 21 Memory. The exposure control unit 21 is configured by a detection signal in the integration sensor 20 to indirectly monitor the illuminance (average 値) of the exposure light to the wafer W and the integration 値. Line · The exposure light IL transmitted through the beam splitter 11 passes through the first lens system 12A and the second lens system 12B along the optical axis IAX, and then passes through the coarseness unevenness correction plate that is the transmittance distribution control member of the present invention in order. 24. After the first illuminance unevenness correction plate 23A and the second illuminance unevenness correction plate 23B are incident on the movable shade (movable illumination field of vision) 13. As will be described later, the predetermined plural shading lines are drawn on the emission surface of the rough unevenness correction plate 24, and the plural shading lines are drawn on the inner faces of the uneven illumination correction plates 23A and 23B, respectively. The positions in the plane of the optical axis IAX of the plate 24 and the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B are controlled by the drive mechanism 20, respectively. The action of the drive mechanism 20 is through the main control system 22 through 18 paper sizes. The Chinese national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) is applied. 544755 A7 ___B7 _ V.

In this case, the movable shutter 13 of the latter is provided on a conjugate surface corresponding to the one-sided plane of the reticle, and the formation planes of the shading lines of the unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B are only set at predetermined intervals along the optical axis direction from the conjugate surface. (Described later) defocused. At this time, in order to make the defocus amounts of the shading lines of the unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B approximately symmetrical with each other to form the same degree, and to make the formation of the shading lines of the unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B face each other, The interval is set to be as narrow as 1 mm. As a result, there is an advantage that foreign matter such as dust cannot be easily attached to the formation surface of the light-shielding lines. The shading line forming surface of the rough unevenness correction plate 24 is more defocused with respect to the conjugate surface than the uneven illumination correction plates 23A and 23B. During linear exposure, the exposure light IL through the movable curtain 13 passes through the optical path refraction mirror 14, the imaging lens system 15A, the sub-condensing lens system 15B, the main condenser lens system 16 and the fixed curtain 17, and the illumination is illuminated. Illumination area (illumination field of vision) 35 as a pattern surface (reticle surface) of the reticle R of the photomask. The fixed curtain 17 is arranged on a surface which is slightly defocused from the one-sided surface of the reticle. That is, the defocus amount of the fixed shade 17 is set smaller than the defocus amount of the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-196513 and the corresponding U.S. Patent No. 5,473,410 disclose that a center in a circular field of view of a projection optical system PL described later extends into a straight slit or rectangle in a direction orthogonal to the scanning exposure direction. The openings 17a (refer to FIG. 2B) arranged in a general shape (hereinafter, collectively referred to as "slit shape"). In this case, in order to prevent unnecessary exposure at the beginning and end of the scanning exposure to the various irradiation areas on the wafer W, the movable curtain 13 will be based on the Chinese paper standard (CNS) A4 (210) according to this paper size (210 X 297 mm) 544755 A7 ____B7 _

又,在本例就曝光用光IL而言,爲了使用比較低振盪 頻率(不足10kHz,例如大約數kHz程度)之脈衝光,對 晶圓W上之各點設定以整數脈衝進行曝光之條件。此意味 著照射在晶圓W上各點之脈衝數形成整數。再者脈衝能量 在每次發光有某種程度之分散,所以爲了將累計曝光量之 控制精度維持在既定程度以上,在本例態對晶圓W上之各 點之曝光脈衝數N設定爲既定之最小曝光脈衝數Nmin以 上之整數之條件。在第1圖,曝光用光IL脈衝發光時,由 於固定遮簾17散焦,因此晶圓W上之曝光領域35P之掃 描方向SD (Y方向)之照度分布F (Y)如第15c所示構 成大略之梯形狀。 在第15C圖,在該照度分布F (Y)上邊之値(最大 値)定爲F0時,在本例將在照度形成F0/2之位置之照 度分布F (Y)之掃描方向之寬度D視爲曝光領域35P之 掃描方向之寬度(狹縫寬度_)。在晶圓上之狹縫寬度D,

是可能的。進而,雖然在本例於曝光用光IL之光程中供給 高度除去有機物等之雜質之淸淨氣體,即使如此由少量殘 存之雜質在折射構件和反射構件之表面上,藉由化學反應 產生之霧狀物質附著,亦有透射率(在反射構件則爲反射 率)依序降低之情事產生。在這些場合,其透射率之變動 在X方向和Y方向一樣產生時,晶圓W上之照度不均, 乃至於累計曝光量不均一不會產生。在本例將以照明光學 系統ILS中之分束器11 (能量之監視點)分離之曝光用光 IL以積分感測器19受光,將此檢測之結果乘上既定之係 數,間接求得在晶圓W上之曝光領域35P之全面照度。因 而,在光學系統之透射率整體一樣地依序變動之場合,例 如藉由定期地進行其係數之測定,對晶圓W之累計曝光量 之平均値,係可與藉由光阻所限定之目標感度在許可範圍 內一致。 26 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐)

對X方向(非掃描方向)有變得不一樣之疑慮。在此種場 合,在照明領域35和曝光領域35P,會產生非掃描方向照 度(每單元面積、每單元時間之脈衝能量)之分散,亦即 照度不均,在W上之各照射領域之掃描曝光掃描曝光後之 累計曝光量亦產生分散(曝光量不均一)。這些一超過容 許範圍,解析度之劣化或轉印保真度之低下等會產生,最 終會導致製造之半導體元件之良率降低。具體而言,於不 進行照度不均之補正動作之場合,長期而言,該照度不均 對平均照度會有超過±5〜土 10 % (以寬度而言10〜20 % )程度之可能。又,該透射率變動即使產生在Y方向( 掃描方向),藉由以掃描曝光之積分效果,曝光量不均幾 乎不會產生。 但是,例如該透射率變動在從標線片面之共軛面散焦 位置(靠近瞳面之位置),與光軸不同之點爲中心而產生 時,與曝光量不均一起,遠心性之崩離(以下,稱遠心偏

Description of the invention ( &gt; 1) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page.) This integral 値 is reset to 0 when the scanning exposure starts. Therefore, in the exposure control unit 21, the integral 値 of the illuminance is gradually calculated. According to such a result, based on the principle that an appropriate exposure amount can be obtained at each point of the photoresist on the wafer W after scanning exposure, the exposure light source 1 is controlled. Output (starting frequency and pulse energy) and dimming rate of variable dimmer 3. Therefore, at the end of the scanning exposure of the irradiation area, the light emission of the exposure light source 1 is stopped. • For the exposure light IL in this example, in order to use pulsed light with a relatively low oscillation frequency (less than 10 kHz, for example, about several kHz), set the points on the wafer W to be exposed by integer pulses. condition. This means that the number of pulses irradiated at each point on the wafer W forms an integer. In addition, the pulse energy is dispersed to some extent at each light emission, so in order to maintain the control accuracy of the cumulative exposure amount above a predetermined level, in this example, the number of exposure pulses N at each point on the wafer W is set to a predetermined value. The minimum exposure pulse number is an integer greater than or equal to Nmin. In Fig. 1, when the exposure light IL pulses, the fixed curtain 17 is defocused, so the illumination distribution F (Y) in the scanning direction SD (Y direction) of the exposure area 35P on the wafer W is shown in Fig. 15c. Make up a rough ladder shape. In FIG. 15C, when the 値 (maximum 値) on the illuminance distribution F (Y) is set to F0, in this example, the width D of the scanning direction of the illuminance distribution F (Y) at the position where the illuminance forms F0 / 2 It is regarded as the width (slit width_) in the scanning direction of the exposure area 35P. The slit width D on the wafer is, for example, about 8 mm, and the width in the non-scanning direction of the exposure area 35P is 2.5 times (20 mm) to 4 times (32 mm) the slit width 24. The paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) &quot; '544755 A7 _______B7___ V. The maximum value of the invention description (vf) is acceptable as the limit of the device structure, but the scanning speed is relatively low. Good system meets the practical upper limit of accuracy required for reticle R and wafer W movement control (including position control and speed accuracy, etc.), and the oscillation frequency meets the stability of the center wavelength and wavelength width of the pulsed light The practical upper limit of accuracy that requires precision such as dispersion and intensity. Next, in the case of the plural refracting members in the illumination optical system ILS and the projection optical system PL of this example, although synthetic quartz is mainly used, it continues on synthetic quartz. If it is irradiated with strong pulsed light, it is known that the transmittance will change sequentially due to the deterioration of the material. In addition, the other refracting members and reflective members are also transparent due to their deterioration. It is also possible to sequentially change the emissivity. Furthermore, although in this example, a clean gas that highly removes impurities such as organic matter is supplied in the optical path of the exposure light IL, even if a small amount of residual impurities is present on the refractive member and the reflective member On the surface, the mist-like substance generated by the chemical reaction is attached, and the transmittance (the reflectance in the reflecting member) is sequentially reduced. In these cases, the transmittance changes in the X direction and the Y direction. When it is generated in the same way, the illuminance on the wafer W is uneven, and even the cumulative exposure is not uniform. In this example, the exposure light separated by the beam splitter 11 (monitoring point of energy) in the illumination optical system ILS is used. IL receives light with the integral sensor 19, multiplies the result of this detection by a predetermined coefficient, and indirectly obtains the overall illuminance in the exposure area 35P on the wafer W. Therefore, the transmittance of the optical system as a whole changes in sequence. In this case, for example, by periodically measuring the coefficient, the average exposure of the cumulative exposure of wafer W can be consistent with the target sensitivity defined by the photoresist within the allowable range. 26 Paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm)-^ ---------------- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 訇--Line. 544755 A7 ________B7___ 5. Description of the Invention (A) However, in the case of deformation lighting, in the illumination optical system ILS and the projection optical system PL, due to the optical path and optical axis through which the exposure light IL passes. The optical path that is approximately the same at the center becomes different, so the change in transmittance caused by the deterioration of optical systems and blurring, for example, there is a concern that the X direction (non-scanning direction) becomes different. In this case In the illumination area 35 and the exposure area 35P, dispersion of non-scanning direction illuminance (pulse energy per unit area and per unit time) will occur, that is, uneven illumination. After scanning exposure in each irradiation area on W, scanning exposure The cumulative exposure is also scattered (uneven exposure). When these exceed the allowable range, degradation of resolution or degradation of transfer fidelity may occur, and eventually the yield of the manufactured semiconductor device will decrease. Specifically, in a case where an uneven illumination correction operation is not performed, the uneven illumination may be more than ± 5 to 10% (10 to 20% in width) of the average illumination over a long period of time. In addition, even if the transmittance change occurs in the Y direction (scanning direction), the exposure effect is almost non-uniform due to the integration effect of the scanning exposure. However, for example, when the transmittance change occurs at a defocused position (a position close to the pupil plane) from the conjugate plane of the reticle, the point different from the optical axis is centered, and the telecentricity collapses together with the uneven exposure. (Hereinafter referred to as telecentric deviation), such an amount of disintegration exceeds the allowable range. For example, the area where the reticle is slightly curved downward and the area where the surface of the wafer W is slightly concave and convex will have a lateral deviation of the projected image. Doubts arise from the transfer. This lateral shift constitutes an overlap error when the resolution is degraded or when the exposure is overlapped. Therefore, the projection exposure device in this example is provided with a correction for the uneven illumination caused by the change in transmittance. 27 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) '' '(Please Read the precautions on the back before filling this page).

This illuminance unevenness correction mechanism includes an illuminance unevenness measurement mechanism, a telecentricity measurement mechanism, a transmittance distribution control mechanism, a main control system 22 as a control system thereof, and an exposure control unit 21. First, in terms of the illuminance unevenness measurement mechanism, an illuminance measurement unit 42 is fixed near the wafer holder 38 on the wafer table 39 in FIG. 1, and the upper surface of the illuminance measurement unit 42 is in the scanning direction ( Y direction) A CCD-type line sensor 42a (refer to FIG. 15A) having an elongated slit-shaped light receiving section is fixed, and a detection signal S2 of the line sensor 42a is supplied to the exposure control unit 21. A general illuminance unevenness sensor (not shown) composed of a photodetector having a pinhole-shaped light receiving portion is provided on the illuminance measuring device 42. Also, although not shown, an irradiation amount monitor having the entire light-receiving portion of the slow-cover exposure area 35P is provided on the wafer stage 39, and based on the detection signal from the exposure amount monitor and the detection signal from the integration sensor 19 S1: Calculate from the detection signal of the integration sensor 19 as a coefficient for the purpose of indirectly determining the illuminance on the wafer W. Here, referring to Fig. 15, a method of measuring the uneven illumination in the non-scanning direction (X direction) along the slit-shaped exposure area 35P using the line sensor 42a will be described. That is, the measurement of this illuminance unevenness is performed periodically, for example. At this time, the apertured light panel 10 shown in FIG. 1 is driven to switch the lighting mode to normal lighting, deformed lighting, and small 7 ° lighting, etc., and each lighting mode performs measurement of the uneven lighting. Secondly, the state of uneven illumination accompanied by the elapse of the operating time of the projection exposure device of this example is stored in the memory section of the main control system 22 in the form of a table in each illumination mode. 28 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) # Order-·-The size of the thread paper is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 544755 A7 __B7_____ V. Description of the Invention () Section 15A The figure shows a state where the wafer stage 39 of FIG. 1 is driven, and the line sensor 42a on the measurement unit 42 is moved to a side other than the scanning direction of the exposure area 35P of the projection optical system PL. The exposure area The illuminance distribution F (Y) in the scanning direction SD (Y direction) of 35P has a substantially trapezoidal shape. As shown in Fig. 15C, if the width in the scanning direction of the bottom edge of the illuminance distribution F (Y) is set to DL, the width in the scanning direction of the light receiving portion of the line sensor 42a is set wider than DL. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 15A, the wafer stage 39 is driven to move the line sensor 42a in a non-scanning direction (X direction) at a predetermined interval in a sequential sequence so as to completely cover the exposure area 35P in the scanning direction. Measuring point. Next, at each measurement point, the exposure light source 1 in FIG. 1 emits pulsed light, and the detection signal S1 of the integration sensor 19 and the detection signal S2 of the line sensor 42a are collected into the exposure control unit 21. Based on all the pixels and the digital data of the detection signal S2 of the integrating line sensor 42a, divided by the digital data of the detection signal S1, as shown in Figure 15B, the illuminance distribution in the non-scanning direction (X) of the exposure area 35P is calculated. E (X). The division by the detection signal S1 of the integral sensor 19 is to remove the influence of the dispersion of the pulse energy. Thus, with the X-direction scanning line sensor 42a, it is possible to easily and quickly measure the illuminance distribution E (X) in the non-scanning direction of the exposure area 35P in a short time. In addition, the illuminance distribution E (X) here is, for example, a relative value based on the illuminance of the first measurement point at the end of the non-scanning direction as a reference.

As a result, the illuminance distribution E (X) Each position X in the non-scanning direction represents the illuminance on the 35P integral exposure area in the scanning direction (Y direction). 29 This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm).

During scanning exposure, each point on the wafer W crosses the area of the illuminance distribution F (Y) of the ladder shape of FIG. 15C in the scanning direction, so the illuminance distribution E (X) in the non-scanning direction in this example It is roughly equal to the distribution of the cumulative exposure amount in the non-scanning direction of each irradiation area on the wafer. In this example, the illuminance distribution E (X) is expressed as a function of the position X in the non-scanning direction as follows. The origin of the position X is a straight line parallel to the Y axis through the optical axis AX of the projection optical system PL. E (X) = a · (X—b) 2 + c · X + d (4) In equation (4), each coefficient is expressed as follows: The second-order coefficient a is related to the position X convex (a &gt; 0) Or concave (a &lt; 0) Illumination unevenness, the offset coefficient b is the amount of deviation from the optical axis AX of the symmetrical axis of the uneven illumination toward the X direction, the primary coefficient c is the so-called tilt unevenness, and the coefficient d is uneven. Follow a certain illuminance (offset) of the X axis. These coefficients a to d, for example, can be obtained from the actual measured data according to the minimum automultiplication method. The obtained 値 is in a state where the illumination intensity is not uniform in the non-scanning direction (that is, the cumulative exposure amount distribution in the non-scanning direction). Be remembered. Specifically, in FIG. 15B, the coefficient a of the illumination distribution E (X) becomes positive 变为 (unevenness of convex illumination), the coefficient 値 of coefficients b and c is 0, and the coefficient d becomes positive 値. In this example, although the illuminance distribution E (X) is approximated by a quadratic function of position X, E (X) may be approximated by a function of 3 or more positions of X, and an approximate expression such as an exponential function may also be used. 〇Going back to FIG. 1, one step further, a scanning plate 43 made of a glass substrate is provided near the wafer holder 38 of the wafer table 39, and a substantially square opening pattern is formed in the light shielding film on the scanning plate 43. 43a.

Description of the invention (r) A condenser lens and a photodetector 45 are provided on the bottom surface of the scanning plate 43 in the wafer stage 39, and are constituted by the scanning plate 43, the condenser lens 44 and the photodetector 45 as The spatial image measurement system 46 of the measurement mechanism and the detection signal S3 of the photodetector 45 are supplied to a calculation unit in the exposure control unit 21. When measuring the telecentricity of the exposure light IL wafer W, for the reticle R, a test reticle composed of a predetermined plurality of evaluation marks is placed. Furthermore, the exposure light IL is made to emit light, and the positions of the X-direction and the Y-direction of the images for evaluation are measured by the spatial image measurement system 46. After that, the wafer stage 39 only changes the focal position (the position of the optical axis AX direction of the projection optical system PL) at predetermined intervals, and then measures the positions of the X- and Y-directions of the images for evaluation marks. As a result, the energy was measured by the amount of the lateral deviation from the position of the image of the evaluation mark at the two focal positions toward the X and Y directions. Alternatively, instead of using a test reticle, the spatial image measurement system 46 may detect an image of a reference mark (not shown) formed on the reticle table 31 to calculate the amount of telecentric deviation. Next, the transmittance distribution control mechanism which is a part of the illuminance unevenness correction mechanism of this example will be described in detail. In Fig. 1, the transmittance distribution control means is constituted by the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B, the rough illuminance unevenness correction plate 24, the drive mechanism 20, and the drive system 25. Figures 2A and 2C are top views of the shading patterns of the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B, respectively. Figure 2B is a top view of the fixed shade 17 in Figure 1. Here, Figure 2 shows the fixed shade π. Projected on the setting surface of the movable shade 13, that is, the state of the common plane of the one-sided marking line. In Figure 2, the non-scanning direction (X direction) and scanning on the reticle are applied.

Description of the invention (^ σ) (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) The directions (γ direction) are set to X direction and Υ direction, respectively. In the following description, the projection magnification from the installation surface of the movable shade 13 (the conjugate surface of the reticle sheet surface) to the reticle sheet surface is set to Ma. For example, if the projection magnification Ma is 3/2 times (magnification), the projection magnification from the reticle to the wafer surface / 3 is 1/4 times, and the slit width D of the exposure area 35P on the wafer W is 8 mm. The width DY1 in the Y direction of the slit-shaped opening 17a of the fixed shade 17 in FIG. 2B is obtained as follows. DY1 = 8 · (1 / ^) · (1 / Ma) = 8 · 4 · (2/3) = 21.3 (mm) (5)-line · Also, as shown in Figure 2A, the first illuminance is not The pattern surface of the correction plate 23A is uniformly formed to form light-shielding line groups 28A and 29A so as to hold the transmission portion 23Aa of the width DY2 (&gt; DY1) in the Y direction. The first light-shielding line group 28A has a plurality of light-shielding lines 26 that are thickened in a quadratic function at a position X corresponding to the position X in the non-scanning direction, compared to the line width of the central portion of the two ends. P2 configuration arrangement. That is, in Fig. 2 for the sake of simplicity (the same applies to the subsequent figures), the light-shielding line group 28A is composed of four light-shielding lines 26, but actually the light-shielding line group 28A is composed of, for example, 50 light-shielding lines 26. More specifically, in order to prevent the generation of the diffraction pattern by the exposure light IL, a plurality of light shielding lines 26 are sequentially arranged from the pitch P2 at intervals of approximately every P2 / 10 to P2 / 100 in the Y direction. arrangement. In the illumination area 35 of the reticle R in FIG. 1, an image of one light-shielding line 26 is projected. In order to reduce the transmittance of the central portion of the exposure light IL, the light source corresponds to the formula (4). It can correct the uneven illuminance unevenness of e · X2 (e &gt; 0). By projecting the image of the light-shielding line 26 of η (1,2, 3 · · · ·), it will correct η 32.

Invention Description 1) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) • e · The uneven illumination of X2 is uneven. The magnitude of the coefficient e depends on the shape of the shading line 26, and the magnitude is stored in the memory portion of the predetermined main control system 22. Therefore, the light-shielding line 26 can be referred to as "the second light-shielding line j ° for convex illuminance unevenness correction.-On the other hand, the second light-shielding line group 29A in Fig. 2A is more than the two ends of the central portion. The line width is a complex number that becomes a quadratic function with respect to the position X (though there are four in FIG. 2 but actually about 50). The light-shielding lines 27 are sequentially spaced from P2 to P2 / 10 ~ P2 / 100 degrees of change are arranged in the Y direction. As a result, by projecting an image of one light-shielding line 27 in the illumination area 35 in FIG. 1, the light is transmitted to the central portion of the exposure light IL. If the rate becomes higher, the uneven illumination of -e · X2 can be corrected, and the uneven illumination of n · e · X2 can be corrected by projecting an image of the light-shielding line 27 of η. Therefore, the shading line 27 It can be called "the second light-shielding line for the correction of uneven illumination unevenness". In addition, the light-shielding lines 26 and 27 can form, for example, a light-shielding film coated with chromium (e.g., vapor deposition) on a substrate that has passed through the light for exposure. Instead of the light-shielding film, a translucent film that transmits light for exposure at a predetermined transmittance may be used. Furthermore, in this example, in order to irradiate the pulsed light, during the period T1L of the pulsed light, when the wafer W travel distance is set to dw, the distance dw is converted to the distance dw of the conjugate plane of the above-mentioned reticle plane. (1 // 5) · (1 / Ma) is set to be different from the pitch P2 by, for example, 10% or more. Furthermore, 'the distance dw · (1 / $) · (Ι / Ma) and the distance P2 are set to be different from each other by an integer multiple of 10% or more. With this, for example, one of the light-shielding wire groups 28A and 29A on the wafer W is a light-shielding wire 26 and ~ 27 33. The standard is applicable to the Zhongguanjia Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21G X 297 public love) &quot;- -544755 A7 _B7___ 5. The defocused image of the invention can be prevented from being transferred. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2C, the light shielding line group 29B for concave unevenness correction and the light shielding line group 28B for convex unevenness correction are formed on the pattern surface of the second illumination unevenness correction plate 23B. The transmission portion 23Ba of the width DY2 is held in the Y direction. The shading line groups 28B and 29B have the same shape as the shading line groups 28A and 29A of the first unevenness correction plate 23A, respectively, and the shading patterns of the unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B are reversed relative to each other with respect to an axis parallel to the X-axis (axis Symmetry). As described above, although the first uneven illumination correction plate 23A can correct uneven illumination unevenness of the convex or concave portions, by using two mutually uneven illumination unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B, the telecentric deviation from the scanning direction can be suppressed. At the same time, it can correct the tilt unevenness (the coefficient c) of the formula (4) (described in detail later). As described above, by projecting the images of the shading lines 26 and 27 in the illumination area 35, the transmittance of the exposure light IL can be controlled transparently. However, when the images of the shading lines 26 and 27 are too sharp, even if the integration effect of scanning exposure is taken into consideration, there is a portion on the wafer that does not satisfy the condition of the so-called exposure with the exposure pulse number N of formula (1). doubt. In order to prevent this, the light-shielding patterns of the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B in FIG. 1 are formed on opposite sides of each other, and the light-shielding pattern forming surface is provided at a relatively fixed shade relative to the conjugate surface of the reticle. 17 larger defocus positions. Furthermore, the light-shielding lines 26 and 27 are made as fine as possible. For example, the shading lines 26 and 27 can correct uneven shapes of uneven illuminance in the non-scanning direction of the convex and concave to an average of ± 0.05% (0.1% in terms of width). In addition, the light-shielding thread groups 28A, 28B, 29A, and 29B have 34 light-shielding threads of 50 degrees, respectively.

Description of the invention) 26 and 27, so for the whole With a resolution of 0.1% in width, it is possible to correct uneven illumination in the non-scanning direction of the convex and concave areas from 0 to 10% in terms of width. In addition, the defocus amount of the conjugate plane of the reticle one-sided surface of the shading line forming surface of the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B is set to 5Z1, and the exposure on the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B is used for exposure. The number of light and the aperture are set to NAil, and when the line width in the scanning direction of the thickest part of the shading lines 26 and 27 is set to FD1, the defocus amount 5 Z1 is preferably set to satisfy the following formula. (5 Zl> FD1 / (2 · NAil) (6) That is, when the light-shielding lines 26 and 27 are replaced with a dot pattern using a small majority as described later, the line width FD1 is replaced at these points. It is also possible to use the width in the scanning direction of the maximum dot pattern within the pattern. By satisfying the condition of formula (6), in the lighting field 35 of the reticle R, the images from both ends of the shading lines 26 and 27 are The point where the light is completely shielded from light becomes' the unevenness of the illuminance in the stationary state is also reduced. Therefore, the unevenness of the cumulative exposure amount during the scanning exposure is further reduced. In this way, the unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B of this example can Increasing the defocus amount 5Z1, it is also possible to arrange the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B at the defocus positions on the exit side of the movable shade 13. Specifically, in FIG. 2A, both ends of the convex light-shielding line 26 The width of the part is 0, and the width of the central part is about 20 # m. Similarly, the width of the central part of the concave light-shielding line 27 is 0, and the width of both end parts is about 20 / zm. Furthermore, the pitch P2 is shifted. The amount is about 5 / zm.

In this FIG. 3A, the conjugate plane RC fixed shade 17 (correctly, the conjugate image) is defocused slightly along the optical axis (Z direction), and the uneven illumination correction plate 23A is largely defocused. As a result, the exposure light IL3 passing through the side portion 17a (correctly the conjugate image of the side portion) on the fixed curtain 17 becomes slightly wider on the conjugate surface RC (and the wafer surface), so the first The illuminance distribution of the exposure area 35P in the figure forms a ladder shape in the scanning direction SD. In FIG. 3A, the illuminance distribution on the conjugate surface RC of the exposure light IL3 passing through the fixed curtain 17 is represented as 17b, which is approximately trapezoidal. In Fig. 3A, the exposure light IL2 is passed through the side of the shading line 26 on the unevenness correction plate 23A. Since the circular area with a diameter approximately 1/2 to 1 times the width of the scanning direction SD of the opening of the blind curtain Π on the conjugate plane RC is widened, the conjugate plane RC and even the wafer The exposure area 35P shading line 26 on W is projected under a large defocus state.

Next, the structure of the shading pattern of the rough illuminance unevenness correction plate 24 in the illuminance unevenness correction mechanism will be described with reference to FIG. 5. Fig. 5 shows a state in which the rough illuminance unevenness correction plate 24 is projected on the one side of the standard bud spring in Fig. 1. Here, in Fig. 5, the rough illuminance unevenness correction plate 24 is spaced DY4 in the scanning direction SD (Y direction). , Forming convex light-shielding lines 26A, 26B, 26C in which the width of the central portion is sequentially thinned, and concave light-shielding lines 27C, 27B, 27A in which the width of both ends is sequentially widened. The pitch DY4 is set to be wider than the width DR of the scanning area 35 in the scanning direction. The driving mechanism 20 in FIG. 1 drives the rough unevenness correction plate 24 in the Y direction to select a shading line in the lighting field 35. 26A to 26C, 27A to 27C are not projected, and a state of projecting a defocused image of any of the light-shielding lines 26A to 26C, 27A to 27C is formed. In this case, the thinnest light-shielding lines 26C and 27C are light-shielding patterns composed of a quadratic curve that has a correction effect of 100 degrees of light-unevenness unevenness on the light-shielding lines 26 and 27, respectively. The light-shielding lines 26B, 27B and 26A and 27A are light-shielding patterns composed of a quadratic curve that has two or three times the shading lines 26C and 27C, respectively. Therefore, by selecting the light-shielding lines 26A, 26B, and 26C with the driving mechanism 20, it is possible to correct uneven illuminance unevenness of about 30% in terms of width, non-scanning direction, uneven uneven illuminance of about 20%, and 10%. The uneven illuminance of the convexity can be corrected by the driving mechanism 20 by selecting the light-shielding lines 27A, 27B, and 27C. The uneven illuminance of the concave is approximately 30% of the width in the non-scanning direction.

Description of the invention ((Please read the notes on the back before filling (This page) The uneven illuminance unevenness of degree and the uneven illuminance unevenness of 10% degree. Also, because the maximum line width of the occlusion lines 26A to 27C is wider than the shading lines 26 and 27 in FIG. 2, Therefore, in order to satisfy the condition of exposure with the integer pulse number of the formula (1) on the wafer as a whole, the rough illuminance section will adjust the defocus amount of the correction plate 24 to the unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B. Set it between 1.5 and 2 times. -Line · Also, such a large uneven illumination The correction can also be achieved by increasing the number of light shielding lines 26 and 27 of the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B in FIG. 2 to 200 to 300, respectively. However, in this case, the The number of defocused images in the exposure field 35P shading lines 26 and 27 becomes too much, and the conditions for exposure with integer pulse numbers of the formula (1) are partially unsatisfactory. In other words, by using the coarseness of this example The illuminance unevenness correction plate 24 not only satisfies the conditions for exposure with an integer number of pulses, but also approximately corrects unevenness in convexity or concavity in a non-scanning direction in a unit of approximately 10% width. The use conditions, etc., where the illuminance unevenness in the non-scanning direction is less than 10% in terms of width, the rough illuminance unevenness correction plate can be omitted. Secondly, for the illuminance unevenness correction plate 23A in the drive mechanism 20 of FIG. 1 An example of the configuration of the drive mechanism of 23B and 23B is described with reference to FIG. 6A is a plan view showing the drive mechanism of the unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B, FIG. 6B is a front view thereof, and FIG. 6C is a side view thereof. 6A ~ 6C, the figure will correspond The non-scanning direction (X direction) and scanning direction (f direction) in Figure 1 are set to be the same as the X direction and the Y direction. 38 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 544755 A7 ____ B7_ 5. In the description of the invention (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page), the lighting area 35C and the conjugate area of the reticle R in Figure 1 are shown in the lighting area 35C. In Figures 6A to 6C A pair of guide members 54A and 54B are fixed to a pair of guide members 54A and 54B parallel to the X direction on a support member (not shown). The guide members 54A and 54B slide open in the X direction at the center to allow light for exposure to pass through. A frame-shaped X-axis slider 53 is arranged, and the X-axis slider is driven in the X direction by a drive motor 55 such as a feed bolt method. Line-On the X-axis slider 53, a frame-shaped first Y-axis slider 56A is arranged through a pair of guide members 58A parallel to the Y-axis, and the opening of the central portion of the Y-axis slider 56A is as shown in FIG. 6D. As shown in the figure, the first illuminance unevenness correction plate 23A is held, and the Y-axis slider 56A is driven in the Y direction by a drive motor 57A that is fixed to the feed bolt method of the X-axis slider 53. In order to cover the first Y-axis slider 56A, a frame-shaped second Y-axis slider 56B is arranged on the X-axis slider through a pair of guide members 58B parallel to the Y-axis. As shown in FIG. 6E, the second illuminance unevenness correction plate 23B is held, and the Y-axis slider 56B is driven in the Y direction by a drive motor 57B that is fixed to the feed bolt method of the X-axis slider 53. Although not shown at this time, the X-axis slider 53 and the Y-axis sliders 56A and 56B are respectively equipped with linear encoders of the X-axis and Y-axis, such as optical, electrostatic capacitance, or electromagnetic type, which can be decomposed. The motors 55A and 57B of the Y-axis drive motors 57A and 57B respectively measure the linear motors of the corresponding X-axis and Y-axis and are driven. In this way, the position of the illumination unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B can be determined independently of the scanning direction / direction (Y direction) for the illumination area 35C, and the illumination unevenness correction can be positioned in the non-scanning direction relative to the illumination area 35C. Plates 23A and 23'B. So in this example, the non-scanning 39 paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 544755 A7 ______B7 _ 5. Description of the invention (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Although the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B are driven integrally in the drawing direction, in order to compensate for the uneven tilt within the illuminance unevenness, it is preferable that the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B can be mutually Constructed like an independent drive. Next, using the illuminance unevenness correction mechanism of this example, referring to FIGS. 4 and 7 to 9, an example of an operation for correcting the illuminance unevenness will be described. In the following description, the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B and the fixed shade 17 will be represented by the state of the conjugate surface (the disposition surface of the movable shade 13) projected on the reticle of the first figure. At this time, since the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B and the fixed curtain Π are defocused from their conjugate planes by a predetermined amount, a predetermined blurring occurs in the projected images in these areas. Therefore, in order to show the defocused state of such projection images, as shown in FIG. 7, from the shading line of the uneven illumination correction plates 23A and 23B and the end of the opening of the fixed curtain 17 is covered by 1 point. The defocused images projected onto the conjugate surface are shown as overlapping. -Line- FIG. 4A is a plan view showing the second illuminance unevenness correction plate 23B, FIG. 4B is an enlarged view of the concave light-shielding line 27 in FIG. 4A along the Y direction, and FIG. 4C is a view of FIG. 4A An enlarged view of the convex light-shielding line 26 in the Y direction, in FIG. 4A, by passing through a plurality of imaginary points along a center line of two light-shielding lines 26 at both ends of the light-shielding line group 28B and along the light-shielding The defocused images 51 formed on the imaginary points of one of the two lines of the center line of the two light-shielding lines 27B at both ends of the line group 29B are formed on the conjugate plane of the one-sided plane of the reticle. Means. This means that the images of the shading lines 26 and 27 are projected on the wafer in a defocused state, not only in the form of prototypes. 40 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 544755 A7 __B7 c V. Description of the invention ($ /) First, Figure 7A shows that in order to make 1 pair of uneven illumination correction plate 23A The defocused image 51B of the light groups 28A, 28B, 29A, and 29B, respectively, from 23B (the image of an imaginary point along the centerline of the shading line group), does not enter the opening 17a of the fixed curtain Π X In the defocused image 51S of the edge of the direction, the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B are not moved to the outside of the scanning direction SD at all, that is, the illuminance unevenness correction in the illumination area 35 of FIG. 1 is not performed. Correction of uneven illumination of plates 23A and 23B. At this time, the correction of the unevenness of the illuminance by the rough unevenness correction plate 24 is not performed. In this state, the illumination measurement unit 42 shown in FIG. 1 is used to describe FIG. 15A to measure the illuminance distribution E (X) in the non-scanning direction (X direction) on the exposure area on the image plane of the projection optical system PL. ), That is, the cumulative exposure amount distribution in the scan direction on the wafer W. Fig. 7B shows various examples of the measurement results of the illuminance distribution E (X). Here, in Fig. 7B, the horizontal axis represents the position in the X direction in the exposure area 35P, and the vertical axis represents the X at each position.値 E (X) of the illuminance of the direction integral. This is also the same in FIGS. 8B and 9B below. Therefore, in Fig. 7B, when the measurement result of the illumination distribution E (X) is as flat as the solid line 62, the illumination unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B and the illumination unevenness correction plate are not used. It is not necessary to make corrections. In this regard, the measurement results of the illuminance distribution E (X) in the non-scanning direction indicate uneven illuminance on a convex line indicated by a curved line 63A, uneven illuminance on a concave line indicated by a curved line 63B, and Straight line 63C indicates uneven lightness or other uneven light intensity, and when the uneven light intensity exceeds the average 値 ± 0.1 41 (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page).

Description of the invention (about 3% (0.2% in terms of width)) The control of the main control system 22 in Figure 1 The illuminance unevenness is corrected below. When the illuminance unevenness is, for example, about 10% or more in width, the position of the coarse illuminance unevenness correction plate 24 is initially determined in the scanning direction SD as shown in FIG. 5. The projection image of the appropriate light-shielding line in the light-shielding 26A to 27A is projected into the lighting field, so that the unevenness of illumination in the non-scanning direction is narrowed to about 10% in terms of width. In this way, the unevenness-correction plate 23A, 23B Corrects the residual uneven illumination. As shown by the solid curve 61A in FIG. 8B, when uneven illuminance distribution of the illuminance distribution E (X) remains, as shown in FIG. 8A, the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B are compared with the illumination optical system. The optical axis IAX is symmetrically driven in the Y direction, and a part of the shading line group 28A for convex uneven illumination correction of the uneven illumination correction plate 23A is projected symmetrically in the illumination area (projection image of the opening i7a), and The defocused image of the shading line group 28B used for the correction of the uneven illumination unevenness correction plate 23B. The driving amount of the illumination unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B at this time, the correction amount of the illumination is as shown in FIG. 8B The curve 61B of the line is set to offset the uneven illuminance of the convexity. As a result, the illuminance distribution E (X) in the non-scanning direction after correction is flat as shown by the dotted line 61C. In this case, the actual Measure the relationship between the driving amount of the predetermined illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B and the correction amount of the illuminance unevenness, memorize the relationship in the hundred million units in the main control system 22, and set the main control system 22 based on the memorized relationship Illumination unevenness correction drive amount of 23 people, 23B. By correcting the uneven illumination, it can be understood from Figure 8B that the average illumination is reduced. The measurement from the integral sensor 19 of Figure 1 is 42.

Description of the invention (屮 /) 补 The correction of the coefficient for the purpose of calculating the illumination on the wafer W is also performed As a result, the cumulative exposure amount of each irradiated area on the wafer W after the scanning exposure is approximately uniform, and is approximately the same as the target value. In this case, since the defocused images of the light-shielding line groups 28A and 28B are projected symmetrically in the Y direction in the lighting field in this example, the telecentricity does not change. That is, in order to make the illuminance unevenness smaller, after the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B are driven, the illuminance distribution E (X) of the exposure area 35P is actually measured by the illuminance measurement section 42 in FIG. 1, and here In actual measurement, when the uneven illumination persists, the positions of the uneven illumination correction plates 23A and 23B may be fine-adjusted by offsetting the residual. Furthermore, after this correcting action, an unillustrated irradiation amount monitor on the wafer stage 39 is used to measure the average illuminance in the exposure area 35P. It is preferable to update the calculation in the crystal from the measurement of the integration sensor 19 The illuminance on the circle is the coefficient for the purpose. This improves the uniformity of the cumulative exposure and target accuracy. In FIG. 8B, when the curve 61A is replaced by a concave illuminance unevenness measurement, in order to correct this situation, in FIG. 8A, the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B are driven more symmetrically in the Y direction. It is also possible to project the images of the light-shielding line groups 29A and 29B used for the correction of the concave illuminance unevenness in the illumination area (projection image of the opening 17a). In addition, when the telecentricity measured by the aerial image measurement system 46 in FIG. 1 is used, for example, when the dispersion amount in the Y direction is measured, in FIG. 8A, in order to offset the telecentric disintegration amount, The driving amounts in the Y direction of the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B (light-shielding line groups 28A and 28B) are different from each other. This makes it possible to simultaneously correct uneven illumination and deviation from telecentricity. 43 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (21〇X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Order: -line 544755 A7 _ B7 _ V. Description of the invention (f λ) * --------------- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Secondly, as indicated by the driving line 60Α of the solid line in Figure 9B Distribution E (X), when uneven illumination unevenness from the optical axis of the projection optical system PL centered at the offset position in the X direction remains, as shown in FIG. 9A, the illumination unevenness correction plate is driven in the Υ direction 23A and 23B are defocused images of part of the shading line group 29A and 29B used for correction of uneven illumination unevenness of symmetrical projections in the field of lighting. Furthermore, the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B are shifted by an amount corresponding to the X direction of the uneven illuminance unevenness (determined as Δ / 4) in the non-scanning direction (in Fig. 9, in the -X direction). Integrated drive. Thereby, the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B are set to compensate for the uneven illuminance unevenness of the offset as shown by the curve 60B of the solid line in FIG. 9B. As a result, the illuminance distribution E (X) in the non-scanning direction after correction is represented by a dotted line 60C and becomes flat, and the cumulative exposure amount on the wafer W after scanning exposure is uniform and approximately consistent with the target 値. • Line. In the case where the remaining uneven illumination is uneven as shown by the straight line 63C in FIG. 7B, in FIG. 9A, for example, the first illumination unevenness correction plate 23A is driven in a single direction and + χ Instead of the light-shielding line group 29A, the light-shielding line group 28A used for correction of uneven illuminance unevenness may be arranged by shifting only Λ / 4 in the + X direction. At this time, by adjusting the driving amount in the Υ direction of the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B and the shift amount Δ / 4 in the X direction, the correction amount of the unevenness of the tilt can be controlled. Here, the relationship between the shapes of the light-shielding line groups 28A, 28B and 29A, 29B, and the amount of driving and the amount of correction of uneven illumination will be described. First of all, as explained earlier, from the configuration surface of the movable shade 13 (the conjugate surface of the reticle one-sided) 44 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 544755 A7 ____ ___B7 _ 5 (Explanation of the invention (ψ)) The projection magnification to the reticle is Ma, and the projection magnification from the reticle R to the wafer W is stone. Further, the number of exposure light 値 aperture 疋 on the wafer W is NAPL, the phase coefficient (0 *) of the exposure light on the reticle R is set to σ, and the shading of the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B is blocked. The average defocus amount of the line forming surface is determined as (5Z1, and the width of the light-shielding line in the scanning direction is FD1 '. The blurring width 6 Y1 of the image of the light-shielding line on the conjugate plane of the reticle is formed as follows. 5 Yl = 2 · 5 Zn1 · NAPL · σ · / 5 · Ma + FD1 ...

The number of apertures NPpl is 0.6 ~ 〇 · 85, σ (coherence coefficient) is 0.3 ~ 0.9 'Defocus amount 5 Zn1 is 30 mm, and line width FD1 is 0.02 mm, the blur width of the image of the light-shielding line on the conjugate surface accounts for Y1 Change in the following range: Approx. 4.1 (mm) &lt; 5 Y1 <approximately 17.5 (mm) ... (8) When the width (slit width) in the scanning direction of the exposed area 35P on the wafer is set to 8 mm, the equation (5) is used to mark the line. The width of the slit on the one-sided conjugate surface is approximately 21.3 mm. Therefore, the condition that the blur width becomes minimum, that is, the condition that the numerical aperture NAPL becomes 0.6 and σ becomes 0.3, using the blur width σΥ1 of the formula (7) to calculate the illuminance in the static state in the exposure area 35P is not In the case of all Fxl's, the constitution is as follows.

However, the driving amounts of the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B are continuously controlled with an accuracy of about 0.01 mm. In order to compensate for the unevenness of the illuminance, the illuminance unevenness can be corrected to approximately 0.01%. Correction. When the number of lines is 130, the number of light-shielding lines 26 and 27 in the light-shielding line groups 28A and 29A becomes 65, and the scanning direction width of the light-shielding line groups 28A and 29A is 10.8 mm. 〇 From the above results, the sizes of the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B and the driving strokes in the scanning direction are determined as shown in Table 1 below. In addition, the magnification Θ is set to 1/4 times, the magnification Ma is 3/2 times, and the blur width 5Y1 of the image of the shading line is the maximum value (17 · 5ιηΓη) of the formula (8). 47 This paper scale is applicable to China Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 544755 A7 -——---------_____ V. Description of the invention (fl) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Size boundary It is limited to 12mm, the correction amount of the non-scanning direction inclination unevenness (movement amount Λ / 4 in the X direction in FIG. 9) is set to 4mm, and the boundary of the driving amount in the scanning direction is limited to 1.7mm. Scanning width = 8 · 4./1.5+ 10.8 · 2 + 17.5 · 2 + 12 (limit) = 90 (mm) (10) Non-scanning width = 25 · 4/1 · 5 + 17.5 + 4 ( Tilt correction amount) + 12 (limit) = 100 (mm) (11) Driving stroke in the scanning direction = ± (17.5+ 10.8+ 1.7 (limit)) = ± 30 (mm) (the difference between soil and unevenness) ( 12) Line, that is, in the above-mentioned embodiment, for example, the illumination measurement unit 42 in FIG. 1 is used to regularly measure the illumination unevenness in the non-scanning direction. If the measurement result is not corrected, the illumination unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B are driven. And the rough illumination can not help but make up for the correction plate 24. For other actions, for example, in a projection exposure device of the same type, measure the relationship between the operating time measured by the timer and the amount of variation in illuminance unevenness, and store the relationship in the form of a graph in this example. The memory section of the main control system 22 of the projection exposure device may be used. In this case, use this chart to predict the state of uneven illumination according to the operating time. In order to correct this predicted uneven illumination, the uneven illumination correction board 23A, 23B and rough uneven illumination correction board can be omitted by driving the uneven illumination correction board. The measurement operation using the illuminance distribution of the illuminance measurement section 42 is used to increase the productivity of the exposure step.

Description of the invention (fj), the shading line group 28A and 2 sets for the correction of uneven illumination unevenness of 2 groups The light-shielding line group 29A for the correction of the uneven illuminance unevenness is juxtaposed, and in the second illuminance unevenness correction plate 23D, the two groups of light-shielding line groups 28B and the two groups of light-shielding line groups 29B are juxtaposed. That is, the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23C, 23D and the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A, 23B of FIG. 8 constitute a shading line group in a multiple area. In this case, a shading line group 28A, 29A (or 28B, 29B) of an uneven illumination compensation plate 23C (or 23D) can cover the entire area of the image (lighting area 35) of the opening 17a of the fixed curtain 17 . In this modification, as shown in FIG. 10, for example, the shading line group 28A of the unevenness correction plate 23C and the shading line group 28B of the unevenness correction plate 23D are arranged alternately in the scanning direction in the image of the opening 17a. While driving the illumination unevenness correction plates 23C and 23D. As a result, the light-shielding area can be doubled as compared with the case shown in FIG. 8, and the uneven unevenness of the convex and concave can be added to the uneven unevenness to compensate for the wide range twice as in the example of FIG. However, in order to make the driving amount in the scanning direction of the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23C and 23D in the embodiment shown in FIG. 10 approximately double, the miniaturization of the projection exposure device should be given priority. Examples are also available. Furthermore, in FIG. 10, the area of the light-shielding line groups 28A and 29A is enlarged, and the interval between the light-shielding lines 26 and 27 in the light-shielding line groups 28A and 29A is gradually reduced, or the light-shielding is gradually expanded while The maximum line width of the line groups 26 and 27 can also enlarge the correction range of uneven illumination. In addition, although the shading lines 26 and 27 in this example are shapes that change the line width by a second-order function or the like relative to the position in the non-scanning direction, they are shape lines that are a function or an exponential function that is three or more times relative to the position.

Description of Invention (#) is also available. Furthermore, as shown in Figs. 15A and 15B, the shape of the light-shielding lines 26 and 27 may be determined by using the illuminance measurement 咅 13 42 to disperse the illuminance distribution E (X) measured with actual correction. In addition, in the operation of the projection exposure device of this example, it may be constituted by an illumination unevenness correction plate composed of a special shading line that can exchange the illumination unevenness correction plates 23A, 23B and the actually measured illumination unevenness. In this way, it can also respond to the occurrence of irregular illumination unevenness that cannot be predicted. In particular, this method has the effect of correcting the short-term illuminance unevenness change caused by the difference in the transmissivity of the non-scanning direction of the reticle pattern. In actual use, each projection optical system corresponds to the unique fluctuation characteristics. Or switch to use this uneven illumination correction board. Further, 'exchanging the illuminance unevenness correction plates 23A and 23B with fixed openings (fixed openings with deformed openings) having openings that sequentially change in different characteristics to control the cumulative non-scanning direction width in the non-scanning direction, These fixed blinds may be replaced with the fixed blind 17. Or, by inserting or exchanging the special uneven correction plate on the conjugate surface of the reticle or the surface defocused from the surface, which is equivalent to the fixed blind with the deformed opening, the irregular illumination is not corrected. Both are fine. This time, the purpose is to correct the uneven illumination in the non-scanning direction as the purpose. In order to form a light-shielding line group 28A and 29A by a light-shielding light source where diffraction light and scattered light do not occur in the non-scanning direction, in the case of static exposure There are no doubts about the residual illumination in the scanning direction. Therefore, in the case where the correction method for unevenness of illumination in the above embodiment is applied to a projection exposure device (stepper, etc.) of a still exposure type (batch exposure type), the unevenness of illumination is corrected: plates 23A, 23B instead Use most of the light-shielding dot patterns in the X direction 50 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)-# 丨 Line · This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 544755 A7 ___B7____ 5. Description of the invention (4) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) and 3 Y direction irradiance unevenness correction board composed of independent density distributions, in order to offset each other in the exposure field Unevenness, so it is also possible to control the density distribution of the majority of the shading dot patterns. However, because speckles are likely to occur in two directions depending on the size of the dot pattern and the interval, design of suppressing speckles is necessary. It is needless to say that such a light-shielding dot pattern with independent density distribution correction plates composed of independent density distributions in the X direction and the γ direction can also be applied to a scanning exposure type exposure device. Line 11A shows the concave unevenness correction plate of the second modification. Here, in FIG. 11A, the concaves of the two transmissive substrates (not shown) in the non-scanning direction (X direction) are sequentially changed in line width. The light-shielding lines 64A and 64B for illuminance unevenness correction are drawn, and the light-shielding lines 64A and 64B (substrates not shown) can be configured to drive the lighting area 35 on the reticle independently and continuously in the X direction. In this modification, in order to correct unevenness in illuminance in the non-scanning direction, the degree corresponding to the unevenness in illuminance becomes higher. As shown in FIGS. 11B and 11B, the light shielding lines 64A and 64B are sequentially moved inside the X direction. . In this way, by arranging the two light-shielding lines 64A and 64B asymmetrically in the center of the bright field 35, the uneven illuminance and the telecentric deviation can be continuously corrected. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11D, the light shielding lines 65 for correcting uneven illuminance unevenness are freely moved in the X direction, and the light shielding lines 64A and 64B for correcting concave illuminance unevenness correction are arranged in the X direction. The combination can correct uneven illumination and telecentric deviation of various characteristics. FIG. 12 shows a third modification example of the light-shielding line. FIG. 12A is a light-shielding line 26 used in the embodiment of FIG. 8, and FIG. 12B has substantially the same light-shielding characteristics as the light-shielding line 26. The same dot pattern composed of a small number of light-shielding films is applicable to the Chinese paper standard (CNS) A4 (210 x 297 mm) for 51 paper sizes. &Quot; &quot; 544755 A7 ____B7 _ V. Description of the Invention (jA) ( (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page.) The light-shielding pattern 66 is drawn in a non-scanning direction with, for example, a quadratic function change density distribution. This light-shielding pattern 66 can be used instead of the light-shielding line 26. This makes it possible to further reduce uneven illumination during still exposure. In addition, the light-shielding pattern 66 is set so that the interval between adjacent dot patterns is as random as possible so as not to cause uneven illumination due to a spot pattern in the illumination area on the reticle. In addition, it is also possible to control the density distribution of the same majority dot pattern, and to arrange the majority dot patterns having different sizes and shapes at approximately the same number of densities, and to dispose the majority dot patterns having different concentrations (transmittances) at approximately the same number. The density configuration is also available. In order to switch the density (transmittance), it is also possible to switch the thickness of a chromium film, for example, as a light-shielding film. '-Line Next, another example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 13 and 14. In the above-mentioned embodiment, in order to satisfy the condition of the so-called formula (1) in which each point on the wafer is exposed with an integer pulse, the width of the shape in the scanning direction of the opening 17a of the fixed curtain Π in FIG. 2 is constant. Rectangle sphere. In this regard, as shown in FIG. 13A, the fixed curtain 17 in this example has an opening 17b having a width change in the scanning direction SD in order to offset the uneven illumination in the non-scanning direction of the pre-calculation side. The oblique line 67 of the ladder shape in FIG. 13B indicates the illuminance distribution F in the scanning direction (Y direction) in a position X other than the scanning direction of the exposure area of the projected image on the wafer 17b in FIG. 13A. Y) 'In FIG. 13B, in this example, the width (slit width) D (X) in the scanning direction of the position where the maximum illuminance F1 constitutes the illuminance F1 / 2 is the width of the exposure area at position X.

Description of the invention (Yl) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) In the case of opening 17a, the slit width does not remain constant as the position X changes, but the slit width D (X) in this example varies with The position X changes. Under this condition, in order to substantially satisfy the exposure conditions with integer pulses of the formula (1) at each point on the wafer, the scanning direction of the inclined portion of the illuminance distribution F (Y) in the ladder shape of FIG. 13B in this example. The width DE does not substantially change depending on the position X. Therefore, the width DE is subject to a condition called exposure with an integer pulse. That is, each point on the wafer W moves only the width D in the scanning direction. During this period, the points are performed with a common integer. Fig. 14 shows an example and comparative example of the timing of pulse light emission during the scanning exposure of this example. First, the oblique line 67A in Fig. 14A is as shown in Fig. 2 and has a narrow shape. The slit width is the illuminance distribution in the scanning direction of the exposure area when the non-scanning direction is constant. When scanning exposure is performed in the illuminance distribution in FIG. 14A, for example, a predetermined point on the wafer reaches g at approximately regular intervals. ] The position 68 in the Y direction emits pulses of light for exposure.-For this, the diagonal line 67B in Fig. 14B indicates that, as in Fig. 13B in this example, the slit width is in the case of non-scanning direction change or at position X. Scanning the exposure field Illuminance distribution in the direction. When scanning exposure is performed with the illuminance distribution in FIG. 14B, the inclined portions 67Ba and 67Bb of the ladder-like illuminance distribution of the oblique line 67B pass through the points on the wafer in integer pulses. Exposure. Specifically, a predetermined point on the wafer reaches the Y direction every time at approximately equal intervals to emit pulses of light for exposure. Thereby, the ascending slope portion 67Ba and the descending slope portion 67Bb of the ladder-shaped illumination distribution Exposure with the same number of pulses (five in the 14B.), And the cumulative exposure distribution is uniformized.… 53 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 544755 A7 V.
