Description of the invention () Field of the invention: The present invention relates to the method of repairing photomasks, in particular to repairing photomasks to prevent opaque areas and loose strips (SeatteHng㈣ pattern) Photomask repair method 0 Background of the invention: Generally speaking, the main body of a photomask is mostly composed of a flat and transparent glass insulating material such as quartz. The manufacture of the photomask is based on the thickness of the substrate About several hundred A, such as chromium (C0 opaque film, and then a layer of photoresist is formed to cover the opaque film, and then exposed by, for example, high-resolution electron beam exposure technology, and developed to form on the photoresist The pattern of 70 layers of the required integrated circuit, and then this pattern is transferred to the opaque film by etching to form a light-transmitting area and an opaque area on the photomask, and even add the surface of the chrome film A layer of chromium dioxide film with a thickness of about 200A to prevent reflection of the metal chromium film during exposure. Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a general photomask. Among them, the photomask 10 has a light transmitting area The areas and opaque areas, the light-transmitting areas 18 representing the light-transmitting areas are composed of the transparent glass insulation material of the mask body. In addition, the opaque areas 12 and 14 of the opaque areas The opaque area 16 is composed of an opaque material (such as a chromium film) or a phase shifting material (such as molybdenum silicon oxynitride). However, during the manufacturing process of the photomask, a perfect photomask cannot be formed. Or, careless use will cause damage to the pattern on the reticle. Therefore, during the photolithography process of pattern reproduction, reticle defect repair must be performed first. There are two types of defects caused by reticle damage, such as Due to the chrome film or phase shift, the size of this paper applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) ------- .............

Generally used mask repair technology such as laser beam (Laser
Beam)、聚焦離子束(Focused Ion Beam ; FIB)、以及原子力 顯微鏡(AtomicForceMicroscopy)等。其中,由於雷射光之 解析度有限’且雷射燒蝕可能會移除與缺陷區域相鄰之不 透光薄膜,而傷害到光罩圖案。再加上,雷射光會傳遞大 量之熱能,不僅會溶解並蒸發不透光缺陷,亦會導致此不 透光缺陷之鄰近或下層的石英受到傷害而變粗糙,進而降 低石英之透光率及改變透射光之相位。因此,以雷射光束 進行光罩修補,會產生相當多的副作用,應用性不佳。另 外,由於聚焦離子光束之聚焦尺寸遠小於雷射光束,因此, 就修補準確度以及產量方面,聚焦離子束佔有極大優勢, 故聚焦離子束已成為廣為運用的一種光罩修補之技術。其 中’以聚焦離子束進行光罩修補時,可利用離子導入 (Beam-indued)之方式來沈積不透光的碳膜,例如聚苯乙烯 高分子,如此可修補透光缺陷。另外,可利用濺擊 (Sputtering Away)方式以去除多餘的鉻膜,如此可修補不透 光缺陷。 請參照第2圖,第2圖所繪示為一般光罩受損之示意 圖。其中,光罩10中係由於圖案形成誤差或鉻膜剝落的原 3 本紙張尺度適财國國家標準(CNS)^^(21Gx297公~—-- -」::.......•裝.........訂.........· (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再場寫本頁) 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 554413 _ B7 --------------- 五、發明説明() 因造成不透光區14與不透光區16的破損,而分別形成缺 陷20與缺陷22 °習知係利用光罩機台,在受損的缺陷μ 與缺陷2 2沈積不透光之有機膜,以進行透光缺陷的修補, 如第3圖所繪不。第3圖所繪示為利用習知修補方法修補 光罩之示意圖’其中’係在光罩1〇之不透光區14中形成 有機膜沈積之修補區域24,而在不透光區16中形成有機 膜沈積之修補區域2 6。 隨著電子元件之微小化趨勢,光罩的製作技術也越來 越進步’因此所製造出來的光罩圖案也越來越精細。其中, 光罩圖案中’用以修正單獨圖案及排列緻密圖案間之近接 效應(Proximity Effect)的散條,係位於所欲修正之側邊並 與之相隔一預設距離,且其尺寸通常小於所欲修正之圖 案,因此散條圖案同樣越來越細微。而且,由於散條圖案 相當細小,因此極易在光罩使用過程中產生缺損,而常需 予以修補。但是,隨著光罩圖案的日益縮小,光罩修補機 台卻沒有因此隨之升級,所以在修補細小圖案上的缺陷通 常會有沈積面積過大之有機膜的缺點。所以,通常在利用 沈積有機膜來修補光罩缺陷的步驟之後,必須再利用姓^ 製程將過多的有機膜去除,以製造與原來圖案相同之光罩 圖形。 發明目的及概述: 除了光罩製作技術越來越進步而使光罩圖案越來越精 細的情況外,習知利用再次蝕刻的修補方法,容易造成其 4 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210X 297公釐) ......f........玎.......:# 6靖先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 554413 A7 、發明説明() 他未受損的光罩區域因钱刻製 -修補材質係為有機膜與原先光罩“光= 卜’由於光罩 不相同,在經产咕 ™的金屬鉻膜並 (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁} 情形。 了此合易有修補區剝落的 蓉於上述之習知技術之缺點,因此,本發 的之一係提供一種朵置伖 之主要目 窖a 種光罩t補方法,可使用在圖宰杵穷沾上 罩修補製程中,更不合造“罢土…/圃案Ή的光 曰k成光罩未受知區受指·、士、l 韌落的情況。 又谓匕又禎或修補材料 本發明之另一目的係 方、、土 w 種非化學此積之光罩修補 為反摩氣I ί離子束並採㈣⑻2)或氣化氤(XeF2)等作 尤缺陷£域或掉落散條區的蝕因 有修補材料擴散以芬车丨^ t ± 除r不會 、 剝洛的情形產生外,更可獲得非透光 之修補圖案。 % 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 根據以上所述之目的,本發明更提供之一種光罩修補 法係用來修補具有第一不透光區與第一透光區之光 罩此光罩之第一透光區係由玻璃材質所構成,此光罩修 補方法包括·提供具有因第一不透光區受損而暴露出之第 透光區=光罩,其中上述之第一不透光區可例如為散條 圖案’且當第一不透光區為散條圖案時,散條圖案係位於 第一不透光區之一側,且散條圖案之尺寸小於第一不透光 區之尺寸,利用蝕刻步驟以去除一部分位於第二透光區之 玻璃材貝,藉以形成修補區域,並使第二透光區形成第二 '—--- 554413 A7 ---------B7^ 五、發明説明() 不透光區。 上述本發明之光罩修補方法中,較佳的修補區域之寬 (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 度係為第二透光區之寬度的1/2至2/3,如此可使第二不透 光區之面積等於第二透光區之面積。另外,上述光罩之玻 璃材質可為石英,而光罩之不透光區可由鉻(Cr)或氧化絡 (CrO)所構成。上述所使用的蝕刻步驟,可利用一般用來修 補光罩中的聚焦離子束修補機台中所具有的钱刻步驟即 可此外,上述之蝕刻步驟的進行可採用例如溴或氟化氣 當作反應氣體,或者是利用非氣磨的方式來進行。 本發明之光罩修補方法,其特點在於使因不透光區受 損而暴露出的透光區之玻璃材質之光罩,利用非化學沉積 的方式之蝕刻步驟,來蝕刻位於透光區部分之破璃透光材 質,藉以形成修補區域,可使透光缺陷區形成另一不透光 區。 利用本發明之光罩修補方法,不僅製程控制度極佳, 而使關鍵尺寸獲得良好控制,更可防止習知再次蝕刻對光 罩造成的傷害,以及重複使用或清洗製程導致修補區域剝 落的缺點。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 列 下 以 辅 中 字 ; 文 圖 明 ·,意 說 圖示 之 意之 後 示損 往 之受 於:罩罩 將中光光 例其般般 施,1 1 實述為為 佳闡示示 :較的繪繪 明的細所所 說明詳圖圖 單發更 1 2 簡本做第第 式形 圖 圖 本紙張尺度適用中國國木標準(CNS)A4規格(210X297公釐) 五、發明説明( 第3圖所緣示為利用 意圖; 尤罩修補方法 第4 本發明 之圖案缺陷的示意圖;以及 /補方法修補光罩上 第5圖所繪示為利 上之缺落散條圖案的示意圖; I修補方法修補光罩 圖號對照說明: 修補光罩之示 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 光罩 不透光區 透光區 缺陷 修補區域 不透光區 不透光區 缺陷 修補區域 光罩 所需圖案 散條圖案 缺陷 修補區域 寬度 寬度 不透光區 不透光區 缺陷 修補區域 光罩 不透光區 透光區 缺陷 修補區域 透光區 散條圖案 缺陷 修補區域 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210X 297公釐)Beam), Focused Ion Beam (FIB), and atomic force microscope (AtomicForceMicroscopy). Among them, because the resolution of laser light is limited and laser ablation may remove the opaque film adjacent to the defect area, and damage the mask pattern. In addition, the laser light will transfer a large amount of thermal energy, which will not only dissolve and evaporate the opaque defects, but also cause the adjacent or underlying quartz of the opaque defects to be damaged and roughened, thereby reducing the transmittance and Change the phase of transmitted light. Therefore, repairing the mask with a laser beam has considerable side effects and is not applicable. In addition, since the focused ion beam has a much smaller focusing size than the laser beam, the focused ion beam has great advantages in terms of repair accuracy and yield. Therefore, the focused ion beam has become a widely used mask repair technique. Among them, when a mask repair is performed with a focused ion beam, a beam-indued method can be used to deposit a light-impermeable carbon film, such as a polystyrene polymer, so as to repair light-transmitting defects. In addition, Sputtering Away can be used to remove excess chromium film, which can repair opaque defects. Please refer to Figure 2.

Description of the invention () The defect 20 and defect 22 were formed respectively due to the damage of the opaque area 14 and the opaque area 16 ° The conventional system uses a photomask Machine, deposit opaque organic film on damaged defect μ and defect 22 to repair light-transmitting defects, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 shows repairing using conventional repair methods The schematic diagram of the photomask 'wherein' is an organic film deposition repair region 24 formed in the opaque region 14 of the photomask 10 and an organic film deposition repair region 26 is formed in the opaque region 16. With the electrons The miniaturization trend of components has made the manufacturing technology of photomasks more and more advanced, so the photomask patterns produced have become more and more sophisticated. Among them, the photomask patterns are used to correct individual patterns and alignment. Proximity Effect scatters between patterns are located on the side to be modified and separated from it by a preset distance, and their size is usually smaller than the pattern you want to modify, so the scatter pattern is also becoming more and more subtle . Moreover, because the scattered pattern is quite small, it is easy to produce defects during the use of the mask, and often needs to be repaired. However, with the shrinking of the mask pattern, the mask repair machine has not been upgraded accordingly. Therefore, when repairing defects on small patterns, there is usually the disadvantage of an organic film with an excessively large deposition area. Therefore, after the step of repairing a photomask defect by depositing an organic film, it is necessary to use the last name ^ process to remove excess organic films. In order to manufacture the same mask pattern as the original pattern. Purpose and summary of the invention: In addition to the situation that the mask making technology is getting more and more advanced and the mask pattern is getting more and more fine, it is easy to cause the repair method using re-etching.

In particular, the erosion of the defect area or the scattered strip area is caused by the diffusion of the repairing material. In addition to the occurrence of r, the non-transparent repair pattern can be obtained. % Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs According to the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention further provides a mask repair method for repairing the light of the mask having the first opaque area and the first opaque area. The first light-transmitting area of the mask is made of glass material. This mask repair method includes: providing a first light-transmitting area = photomask that is exposed due to the first light-opaque area being damaged. The light-transmitting area may be, for example, a scatter pattern, and when the first opaque area is a scatter pattern, the scatter pattern is located on one side of the first opaque area, and the size of the scatter pattern is smaller than the first opacity. The size of the light area uses an etching step to remove a part of the glass material located in the second light-transmitting area, thereby forming a repair area and forming the second light-transmitting area to form a second '---- 554413 A7 ------ --- B7 ^ V. Description of the invention () Opaque area. In the above mask repair method of the present invention, the width of the preferred repair area (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) is 1/2 to 2/3 of the width of the second light transmitting area, so The area of the second opaque region can be made equal to the area of the second opaque region. In addition, the glass material of the photomask may be quartz, and the opaque area of the photomask may be made of chromium (Cr) or oxide complex (CrO). The above-mentioned etching step can be performed by using the money engraving step commonly used in repairing a focused ion beam repairing machine in a photomask. In addition, the above-mentioned etching step can be performed using, for example, bromine or fluorinated gas as a reaction. Gas, or by non-air milling. The mask repair method of the present invention is characterized in that the mask made of glass material of the light-transmitting area exposed due to the damage of the light-opaque area is etched by a non-chemical deposition method to etch the portion located in the light-transmitting area. The broken glass transparent material is used to form a repaired area, so that the light-transmissive defect area can form another opaque area. By using the mask repair method of the present invention, not only the process control degree is excellent, but the key dimensions are well controlled, and the conventional mask can be prevented from damaging the mask again, and the defects of repeated repair or peeling caused by the repair process are peeled off. .

Normal light transmission. H 纟 Mao Ming's repair method uses the original mask repair machine, such as a light leather repair machine that can focus ion beam, and performs a single engraving step to remove defects 50, 52, and 9 〇, and the defect of the light-transmitting substrate of the surface portion '# In order to destroy the light-transmitting characteristics of the light-transmitting substrate, defect 50, defect 52, defect 90, and And the substrate of the defect 92 part cannot transmit light. In this way, the repair area 60, the repair area 62, the repair area 94, and the repair area 96 can be formed on the pattern missing portions such as the defect 50, the defect 52, the defect 90, and the defect 92, so that the defect 50 can be achieved. The abnormal light-transmitting portions among the defect 52, the defect 90, and the defect 92 are changed to the light-opaque portion. 10 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) The characteristic is to use the original photomask repair machine to carve the last name of the car to repair the precise pattern of the car. Since the control of the x-axis process can be easily performed and the integration process is easy, the repair process of the precision pattern can be better than the mask ttr in the preferred embodiment, which is capable of providing a focused ion beam ^? The 'scarf' uses a focused ion beam to etch and destroy the light-transmitting substrates on the surface portions of the defect 1¾ 50, defect 52, defect 90, and defect 92, and the defects of light transmission in these two untrue books become opaque. The purpose of light. In the repairing and money engraving step, an air-grinding method may be used, and for example, an inert gas or an oxidizing gas is used as a reactive gas, or a non-air-milling method is used to perform defects 50, defect 52: defect 90, and defect 92. Etching of the light-transmitting substrate on the surface portion. In addition, when performing etch repair, the width of the etched repair area is preferably controlled to about 1/2 to 2/3 of the width of the light transmission defect. In this way, the opaque area of the repair area It is equal to the light transmission area caused by the defect. That is, when a focused ion beam is used for etching repair, the opaque region 44 in FIG. 4 has a width Li, so the repair region 60 of the opaque region 44 should be controlled to a width X1 ′, and the width X1 is equal to The width Li is 1/2 to 2/3; the opaque area 46 has a width L2, so the repaired area 62 of the opaque area 46 should be controlled at the width X2, and this width X2 is equal to 1/2 to the width L2 2/3. Similarly, the opaque scattered strip pattern 88 in FIG. 5 has a width L3. Therefore, the width of the repaired region 94 and the repaired region 96 of the scattered pattern 88 should be controlled at X3 ', and the width X1 is equal to the width L3. 1/2 to 2/3.
