Description of the Invention (1) Technical Field 1: The present invention relates to a method for repairing a photomask by using the same pattern in a semiconductor process, and particularly to a method in the semiconductor process that optically uses the same light. A method of repairing a defect pattern of a mask by using a defect-free pattern on a mask or a different mask. "Xianxia-Rejuvenation" Generally speaking, the main body of the mask is mostly composed of a flat and transparent glass insulating material such as quartz. The photomask is fabricated on the above substrates. An opaque film with a thickness of several hundred A, such as chromium (Cr), is deposited, and then a photoresist is formed to cover the opaque film. Beam high-resolution exposure technology is exposed and developed to form the desired pattern of each layer of the integrated circuit element on the photoresist. Then, this pattern is transferred to an opaque film by etching, and a light-transmitting area and an opaque area are formed on the mask, and even a layer of chromium dioxide with a thickness of about 200 A is added on the surface of the chromium film Film to prevent reflection of the metallic chromium film during exposure. However, during the manufacturing process of the photomask, a perfect photomask cannot be formed, or the pattern on the photomask is damaged due to careless use. Therefore, during the photolithography process for pattern reproduction, mask defects must be repaired first. There are two kinds of defects caused by the damage of the photomask, for example, due to the error in the pattern of the chrome film or the phase shift layer, the light-transmissive area is formed in the portion that should be the opaque area, which causes the transparent defect (Transparent Defect); Or, an opaque area is formed in a portion that should be a light-transmitting area due to excessive coating of a chromium film, thereby causing an opaque defect. Generally used mask repair technology such as laser beam (Laser

Beam)、聚焦離子束(F〇cused I〇rl Beam; FIB)、以及原子 力顯微鏡(Atomic Force Microscopy)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。 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 (Sputter ing Away)方式以去除多餘的鉻膜,如此可修補 不透光缺陷。 然而,由於聚焦離子束技術係利用電荷粒子對缺陷區域進 行多次掃描以進行光罩之圖案修補,因此部分之電荷粒子 會留置在光罩上,而產生電荷效應,使聚焦離子束難以定 位控制。受到電荷效應的影響,導致較差之定位控制準確 度,而造成影像品質下降。另外,聚焦離子束技術難以有 效修補大面積之缺陷圖案,不僅需耗費大量的時間,且修 補的成功率相當低。Beam), Focused Ion Beam (FIB), and Atomic Force Microscopy. 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 lower quartz of the opaque defects to be damaged and roughened, thereby reducing the transmittance of the quartz and Change the phase of transmitted light. Therefore, repairing a photomask with a laser beam may cause considerable side effects and is not applicable. In addition, because the focused ion beam has a much smaller focus size than the laser beam, the focused ion beam has a great advantage in terms of repair accuracy and yield. Therefore, the focused ion beam has become a widely used mask repair technique. When repairing a photomask with a focused ion beam, a beam-indued method can be used to deposit a light-impermeable carbon film. For example, a polystyrene polymer can repair light-transmitting defects. In addition, you can use the Sputtering Away method to remove excess chromium film, which can repair opaque defects. However, because the focused ion beam technology uses charged particles to scan the defect area multiple times to repair the pattern of the photomask, some of the charged particles will be left on the photomask, resulting in a charge effect, making it difficult to locate and control the focused ion beam. . Affected by the charge effect, it leads to poor positioning control accuracy, which causes the image quality to decrease. In addition, focused ion beam technology is difficult to effectively repair large-area defect patterns, which not only takes a lot of time, but also has a relatively low success rate.

The description of the invention (8) item 142 and the opaque defect 144. Among them may be, for example, a positive type photoresist. Then, the projection step of the image of the defect-free pattern noa is performed by using the projector platform 100 of FIG. 1 to project the image of the defect-free pattern UOa onto the photoresist layer η6 lacking the pattern 120a. Among them, the step of projecting the image of the defect-free pattern 11a firstly emits light green 128 from the light source 102 to the reflecting element 丨 0 4 and then reflects it toward the reflecting element i06. After the light i28 is reflected by the reflective element ι〇6, the light i28 is directed to the photomask 108, and the photomask 108 is moved in a predetermined direction, so that the light 128 can pass through the defect-free pattern on the photomask 108 11 〇a, and an image of a defect-free pattern 110a is generated. The generated image of the defect-free pattern 110a is focused by the lens 112 and then projected onto the reflective element 114, and is reflected toward the reflective element 116. Then, the image generated by the non-defective pattern 11 0 a is incident on the lens 118 by the reflection of the reflective element 116, and is focused and projected on the photoresist layer 146 of the defect pattern 120a. The image is transferred to the photoresist layer 146 above the defect pattern 120a, and a part of the photoresist layer 146 is exposed. Since the image of the non-defective pattern no a is transferred to the photoresist layer 146, the image alignment of the non-defective pattern 11a and the defect pattern 120a has been completed, so the image of the non-defective pattern ii〇a can be accurately Transfer to the photoresist layer 146 above the defect pattern 120a. After the image of the defect-free pattern 110a is accurately exposed on the photoresist layer 146, since the material of the photoresist layer 146 is a positive photoresist, the exposed photoresist layer 146 can be removed by, for example, development, and The photoresist layer 146 above the defect pattern 120a is provided with a pattern of the defect-free pattern 110a. Because, when the light 128 scans the opaque pattern 130 of the defect-free pattern 110a, it will be affected.

Description of the Invention (ίο) Next, please refer to FIG. 8a and FIG. 8b together, where FIG. 8a is a top view showing a defect pattern of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8b is The margin shows a cross-sectional view taken along the iv-IV section line of the defect pattern in Fig. 8a. In the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the defect pattern 120b includes at least an opaque pattern 160, a permeable pattern 162, and a opaque defect 164 on the opaque pattern 160. Among them, the opaque pattern ι60 is also composed of an opaque material, such as chromium, formed on the reticle 108, and the opaque pattern 162 is an unshielded area of the reticle 108, and The light-transmitting defect 1 64 is a light-transmitting area formed by the omission of the light-transmissive material on the light-transmissive pattern 160. In the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the image alignment steps of the defect-free pattern 110 and the defect pattern 120 on the photomask are completed, the defect-free pattern 110 is used for optical repair of the defect pattern 120. In these two preferred embodiments, the defect-free pattern U 0b represents the defect-free pattern 110 of the first figure, and the defect pattern 120 b represents the defect pattern 120 of the first figure. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIGS. 7a to 丨 丨, where FIGS. 9 to 丨 丨 are diagrams illustrating a repair process of a defect pattern of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 9, after aligning the defect-free pattern 11 in FIG. 7 a on the image surface of the image pattern in FIG. 8 a, the defect pattern 1 2Ob in FIG. The mask § and the defect pattern: covering the opaque pattern 160, the transparent pattern, and the transparent defect 164 of the defect pattern 12Ob. The material of the photoresist layer 166 may be, for example, a photoresist. After Ma negative formed the photoresist layer 166, use the projector platform 100 of the second figure to perform defect-free 567531. V. Projection of the image of the αυ pattern 11 Ob to project the image of the defect-free pattern 11 OB to The photoresist layer 1 6 6 on the defect pattern 1 2 0 b. When the image of the defect-free pattern 110b is projected onto the photoresist layer 166 above the defect pattern 120b, the light is first emitted from the light source 102 to the reflective element 1 0 4 and then reflected to the reflective element 1 〇6 After being reflected by the reflective element 106, it is directed to the photomask 108. At this time, the mask i08 is moved in a predetermined direction, so that the light 128 can be scanned over the defect-free pattern 110b on the mask 108, and an image of the defect-free pattern 11 Ob is generated. After the image of the defect-free pattern (01) is focused by the lens 11 2, it is projected on the reflective element 11 4, and is reflected toward the reflective element 116. The image generated by the non-defective pattern 11 0b is reflected by the reflection element 11 16 into the lens 11 18 to be focused and projected on the photoresist layer 166 above the defective pattern i2 0b, thereby releasing the non-defective pattern 1 The image of i0b is transferred to the photoresist layer 16 6 above the defect pattern 120 b, and a part of the photoresist layer 16 6 is exposed. Because the image of the non-defective pattern n 0b is transferred to the photoresist layer 16 6, the image of the non-defective pattern 11 0b and the defect pattern 1 20b has been aligned, so the image of the non-defective pattern n 0b It can be accurately transferred to the photoresist layer 166 above the defect pattern 120b. After the image of the defect-free pattern 1 1 0b is accurately exposed on the photoresist layer 166, since the material of the photoresist layer 16 is a negative photoresist, the unexposed light can be developed by, for example, developing The resist layer 166 is removed, leaving the exposed photoresist layer 166. Because, when the light opaque pattern 150 of the defect-free pattern 150 is scanned, the light 128 is blocked and cannot pass through the photomask 108 to the photoresist layer 166. Thus, the photoresist layer 166 located above the opaque pattern 160 of the defect pattern 12 Ob corresponding to the opaque pattern 150 of the non-defective pattern 110b,

Description of the invention (12) The photoresist layer above the light transmission pattern 162 of the defect pattern 120b, which does not cause exposure, but only makes the position corresponding to the light transmission pattern 152 of the non-defective pattern 11 0b 1 6 6 Make an exposure. Therefore, after the developing step, the remaining photoresist layer 16 is only covered on the light-transmitting pattern 16 2 of the defect pattern 120b, and the light-transmitting defect 164 and the light-impermeable pattern ι60 are exposed, forming the same as the first one. The structure shown in the figure. Next, using a method such as deposition and using the photoresist layer 16 as a mask, the light-transmissive filling material 168, such as the same material as the light-transmissive pattern 160, is filled in the light-transmitting defect 164, and The light transmission defect 164 is prevented from transmitting light. Then, the remaining light steep layer 166 is removed, and the light-transmitting pattern 162 is exposed, as shown in FIG. 11 tf. At this point, the light transmission defect of the photomask iQ8 has been successfully completed. It should be noted that the corresponding optical side is shown. Therefore, in order to supplement the photomask effect, the present invention uses ions to simplify the production of the photomask of the present invention. The preferred point is the projector. The above-mentioned method of integrating the defect pattern of the same light above the household weight is a beam or electron beam path and equipment that has another advantage of Micro Motion, and another advantage is the defect-free phase. The light of the present invention is performed. The present invention No defect on the hood. As mentioned above, the present invention provides a positioning control that uses the same mask or does not use the accuracy of the optical image because the hair is not required to be true and then reduced because the hair has the same pattern, and the repair by the cover is not limited to the first The photomask repair in Figure 1 only needs to be accurately projected onto the image with the available pattern. One advantage is that the same pattern on the semiconductor process as the photomask is used to repair the alignment method, so electrical production can be avoided. Ming Zhi mask pattern repair is not carried out in a negative environment. Therefore, it can be cost-affordable for the purpose. The Ming system uses the same mask or different optical alignment methods to repair the light.
