本發明係有關於一種相位移光罩的製造方法,且特別 是有關於一種邊緣減光複合式相位移光罩的製造方法。' 發明領域: 相關技術說明:The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a phase shift photomask, and in particular, to a method for manufacturing a phase-difference composite phase shift photomask. '' Field of invention: Related technical description:
在微影成像技術中,由於積體電路尺寸不斷地縮小, 造成對圖形曝光精度的要求也愈來愈高。但是尺寸的縮小 會使得在使用光罩進行曝光時產生光學鄰近效應,破壞圖 形之精確度。因此,許許多多的技術被提出以改進成像之 精確度。其中一個被廣為使用之技術是相位移光罩(phase shift mask ;PSM)之應用。隨著細線化需求日益殷切,相 位移光罩可使用原有機台,且不改變製程,而達到改進解 像度與增加聚焦深度的目的。相位移光罩除了可是用於! 一 線微影、深紫外光微影外,亦可是用於極短紫外光微影, 甚至可適用於X-光微影。In the lithography imaging technology, as the size of the integrated circuit is continuously reduced, the requirements for the accuracy of the pattern exposure are also getting higher and higher. However, the reduction in size will cause an optical proximity effect when using a mask for exposure, destroying the accuracy of the pattern. Therefore, many techniques have been proposed to improve the accuracy of imaging. One of the widely used technologies is the application of phase shift mask (PSM). With the increasing demand for thinning, the phase shift mask can use the original organic stage without changing the process to achieve the purpose of improving the resolution and increasing the depth of focus. In addition to phase shift masks! In addition to front-line lithography and deep UV lithography, it can also be used for very short UV lithography and even X-ray lithography.
由於相位移光罩可以有效地減緩光學鄰近效應帶來的 負面影響,所以其本身也因不斷的改進而產生許多不同種 類的相位移光罩。大致可分為下列幾種類型:交錯型相位 移光罩(alternate PSM)、唯相移層相位移光罩(shifter only PSM)、邊緣型相位移光罩(rim pSM)、外框型相位移 光罩(outrigger PSM)、減光型相位移光罩(attenuated PSM)以及邊緣減光複合式相位移光罩(attenuat e_r & PSM)。其中,邊緣減光複合式相位移光罩結合了減光型光 罩與邊緣行光罩的優點’減光區可以藉由干涉作用消除距 離中央極大光較遠之2或3級以上的繞射。Because phase shift masks can effectively mitigate the negative effects of optical proximity effects, many different types of phase shift masks have also been generated by continuous improvement. It can be roughly divided into the following types: alternate phase shift mask (alternate PSM), phase shift layer only phase shift mask (shifter only PSM), edge type phase shift mask (rim pSM), frame-type phase shift Photomask (outrigger PSM), light reduction phase shift mask (attenuated PSM), and edge light reduction composite phase shift mask (attenuat e_r & PSM). Among them, the edge dimming composite phase shift photomask combines the advantages of the light dimming photomask and the edge line photomask. The light dimming area can eliminate diffraction of 2 or 3 levels farther from the central maximum light by interference. .

The material of the phase shift layer 102 is, for example, molybdenum silicon oxynitride (MoSiON), and its light transmittance is usually about 6%. Xikou masks often use metal chromium (Cr) as the light-shielding layer to define the mask pattern. Because the process is more convenient, the material of the mask layer 104 above can be a metal inscription. The luminosity is usually about 0%. Next, please refer to FIG. 2B. For example, a spin coating method is used to block the surface of the mask layer 104, and a patterning process is performed after performing appropriate lithography and shirt display procedures.

Next, referring to FIG. 2D, after the above patterned first photoresist 106 is removed by the program of Nan and Guangren, a second photoresist 108 is formed by spin coating, for example, to Fill the groove 300 and cover the surface of the patterned mask layer 104a. Next, referring to FIG. 2E, a lithography process is performed.

Finally, please refer to the second figure, and remove the patterned second photoresist 108a and the patterned mask curtain layer 104a, respectively, so as to complete the manufacture of the edge-dimming composite phase shift mask. However, as described above, in the conventional manufacturing method of the edge-light reduction composite phase shift photomask, it is necessary to precisely position and position the light transmission area by the exposure machine. With the increase of the semiconductor element accumulation and the reduction of the element size, the sizes of the light-transmitting area and the edge phase shifting area have been miniaturized. Therefore, the alignment and positioning process of the mask pattern is quite complicated, difficult to control, and must be quite accurate. .
