測光裝置及曝光裝置Photometric device and exposure device

本發明係有關於測定光照度等之測光裝置,特別是關於被使用於曝光裝置的放電燈的放射光的光測定。The present invention relates to a photometric device for measuring illuminance and the like, and more particularly to photometric measurement of emitted light by a discharge lamp used in an exposure device.

曝光裝置中,對於塗布了光阻劑等的感光材料的基板投影圖形光,在感光材料上形成圖形。為了形成高精度的圖形,在曝光動作時,必須要以一定的照射量照射光。因此,在曝光的空隙時使用測光裝置測量照度等,以調整對放電燈的供應電力進行亮燈控制(例如參照專利文獻1、2)。In the exposure apparatus, pattern light is projected on a substrate on which a photosensitive material such as a photoresist is applied, and a pattern is formed on the photosensitive material. In order to form a high-precision pattern, it is necessary to irradiate light with a certain amount of irradiation during the exposure operation. Therefore, the illuminance or the like is measured using a photometric device during the exposure of the gap to adjust the lighting power supply to the discharge lamp (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

在曝光裝置中係使用發出包含g線(436nm)、h線(405nm)、i線(365nm)的亮線的高壓/超高壓水銀燈(參照專利文獻3)。感光材料具有基於亮線的感度特性,在照度測定裝置中,設有去除g線、h線、i線之外的光的濾器,依據透過濾器的光測定照度(例如參照專利文獻4)。A high-pressure/ultra-high pressure mercury lamp that emits a bright line including a g-line (436 nm), an h-line (405 nm), and an i-line (365 nm) is used in the exposure apparatus (see Patent Document 3). The photosensitive material has a sensitivity characteristic based on a bright line, and the illuminance measuring device is provided with a filter that removes light other than the g line, the h line, and the i line, and measures the illuminance according to the light transmitted through the filter (for example, see Patent Document 4).

在上述的放電燈中,因為放電管內為高壓,容易出現放射照度被放電變動造成的雜訊支配的狀態。尤其是在亮線附近,因為光能的自我吸收而產生變化,被測量的亮線附近的光譜值,明顯地被雜訊的放電變動影響。In the above discharge lamp, since the inside of the discharge tube is high pressure, it is easy to cause a state in which the irradiance is dominated by noise caused by the discharge fluctuation. Especially in the vicinity of the bright line, because the self-absorption of light energy changes, the spectral value near the measured bright line is obviously affected by the discharge fluctuation of the noise.

因此,即使沒有發生實質性的燈輸出下降、放射光譜分佈全體的變化小,也會發生亮線附近的放射光譜變動狀況。另一方面,即使實際上因為燈的輸出下降而使得放射光譜分佈全體變動,和該全體變動量相比,也會發生亮線附近的放射光譜變動小的狀況。Therefore, even if the substantial lamp output falls and the change in the entire radiation spectrum distribution is small, the radiation spectrum fluctuation near the bright line occurs. On the other hand, even if the radiation spectrum distribution changes in general due to the decrease in the output of the lamp, the radiation spectrum fluctuation near the bright line is small as compared with the total fluctuation amount.

對於具有這種放射特性的放電燈,若使用具有配合亮線的峰值透過率的濾器進行照度檢出,就會被峰值附近的雜訊光譜變動所影響,而無法正確檢出光譜全體的照度。其結果為,依據錯誤的照度測量進行電力調整,在燈點燈時,不必要的電力變動頻繁地連續不斷,而給燈壽命帶來影響。另外,在照度以外的測光演算中,也檢測出錯誤的測光值。When a discharge lamp having such a radiation characteristic is used for illuminance detection using a filter having a peak transmittance corresponding to a bright line, it is affected by fluctuations in the noise spectrum near the peak, and the illuminance of the entire spectrum cannot be accurately detected. As a result, power adjustment is performed based on the illuminance measurement of the error, and when the lamp is turned on, unnecessary power fluctuations are frequently continued, which affects the life of the lamp. In addition, in the photometry calculation other than the illuminance, an erroneous photometric value is also detected.

本發明的曝光裝置,包括:放電燈,其放射包含g線(436nm)、h線(405nm)、i線(365nm)的亮線的光;光測定單元,其具有受光部,測定從前述放電燈放射的光;以及照明調整單元,依據前述光測定單元的測定值,調整向前述放電燈提供的電力。An exposure apparatus according to the present invention includes a discharge lamp that emits light including a bright line of g line (436 nm), h line (405 nm), and i line (365 nm), and a light measuring unit having a light receiving unit for measuring the discharge from the foregoing The light emitted by the lamp; and the illumination adjusting unit adjust the electric power supplied to the discharge lamp in accordance with the measured value of the light measuring unit.

可以使用高壓或者超高壓水銀燈作為放電燈,在這種情況下,產生包含g線、h線、i線的亮線光譜的光譜,放射光的光譜分佈為,在對應於三個亮線的窄波長域中具有大的相對光譜強度的連續的分光分佈曲線。例如放電燈可以使用將0.2mg/mm3以上的水銀封入放電管的水銀燈。A high-pressure or ultra-high pressure mercury lamp can be used as the discharge lamp. In this case, a spectrum of a bright line spectrum including g lines, h lines, and i lines is generated, and the spectral distribution of the emitted light is narrow in the three bright lines. A continuous spectral distribution curve with large relative spectral intensities in the wavelength domain. For example, a mercury lamp in which 0.2 mg/mm 3 or more of mercury is sealed in a discharge tube can be used as the discharge lamp.

光測定單元的受光部為,例如,具有光電變換部件等的受光部件、以及配置在入射光路上的濾器等,依據入射到受光部件的光所產生的電氣訊號測定。受光部的分光感度特性係可以依據受光部件的分光感度特性以及濾器的分光透過特性決定。當受光部件的分光感度並不在特定波長域有偏向感度,而在全體波長域大致為一定的情況下,濾器的分光透過特性直接被顯現為受光部的分光感度特性。The light receiving unit of the light measuring unit is, for example, a light receiving member having a photoelectric conversion member or the like, a filter disposed on the incident light path, or the like, and is subjected to electrical signal measurement based on light incident on the light receiving member. The spectral sensitivity characteristic of the light receiving portion can be determined according to the spectral sensitivity characteristics of the light receiving member and the spectral transmission characteristics of the filter. When the spectral sensitivity of the light-receiving member does not have a bias sensitivity in a specific wavelength region, and the entire wavelength region is substantially constant, the spectral light transmission characteristics of the filter are directly expressed as the spectral sensitivity characteristics of the light-receiving portion.

光測定單元能夠測定照度、亮度、光量等和放電燈的放射光相關的各種各樣的物理量中的任何一種,以作為測定值。光調整單元調整供應電力,使得被測出的測光值維持在適當的值或一定的值。The light measuring unit can measure any one of various physical quantities related to the emitted light of the discharge lamp such as illuminance, brightness, amount of light, and the like as a measured value. The light adjustment unit adjusts the supplied power so that the measured photometric value is maintained at an appropriate value or a certain value.

在本發明中,光測定單元的分光感度特性為,在相鄰2條亮線之間設立峰值感度,亦即i線(365nm)和h線(405nm)之間或者h線(405nm)和g線(436nm)之間。In the present invention, the spectral sensitivity characteristic of the light measuring unit is such that a peak sensitivity is established between two adjacent bright lines, that is, between the i line (365 nm) and the h line (405 nm) or the h line (405 nm) and g. Between the lines (436nm).

亦即,受光部的峰值感度是在從本來應該要注視之h線、i線移開的位置,在分光感度特性中h線和i線的感度(光譜值)低於峰值感度。以峰值感度作為頂點而向i線以及h線的感度(光譜值)變低,所以,即使在亮線附近發生雜訊的支配性放電變動,也不會被該變動大幅影響,而能夠測定放電燈的光。That is, the peak sensitivity of the light receiving portion is a position shifted from the h line and the i line which should be observed, and the sensitivity (spectral value) of the h line and the i line is lower than the peak sensitivity in the spectral sensitivity characteristic. Since the sensitivity (spectral value) to the i-line and the h-line is lower at the peak sensitivity, the dominant discharge fluctuation of the noise occurs in the vicinity of the bright line, and the discharge can be measured without being greatly affected by the fluctuation. The light of the light.

例如,進行定照度點燈控制的時候,可以對應於正確測定的照度來調整電力,而不會因為錯誤的電力調整而產生本來不需要的電力變動,而能夠實現穩定的定照度點燈。For example, when the illuminance lighting control is performed, the electric power can be adjusted in accordance with the illuminance that is accurately measured, and the power fluctuation that is not originally required can be generated due to the erroneous electric power adjustment, and stable illuminance lighting can be realized.

分光感度特性可以用以峰值感度為中心的略高斯分佈曲線(正規分佈)表示,或者,也可以用帶通(區域)來表示。分光感度曲線被構成為使其峰值感度盡可能從i線,h線或g線移開即可,例如使峰值在中間域亦可。The spectral sensitivity characteristic can be expressed as a slightly Gaussian distribution curve (normal distribution) centered on the peak sensitivity, or can be represented by a band pass (region). The spectral sensitivity curve is configured such that the peak sensitivity is removed from the i-line, the h-line or the g-line as much as possible, for example, the peak is in the intermediate domain.

一方面避免雜訊的支配性放電變動的影響,另一方面希望能在大範圍無遺漏地檢出i線和h線間的波長域或h線和g線間的波長域的光。例如,光測定單元之有效感度特性最好為其分光感度曲線的半寬度比i線和h線之間的波長域更大。藉此,可以精確地檢測出在i線和h線間的波長域中的整體的光譜強度。On the one hand, it is possible to avoid the influence of the dominant discharge fluctuation of the noise, and on the other hand, it is desirable to detect the wavelength region between the i-line and the h-line or the wavelength region between the h-line and the g-line in a wide range without missing. For example, the effective sensitivity characteristic of the light measuring unit is preferably such that the half width of the spectral sensitivity curve is larger than the wavelength domain between the i line and the h line. Thereby, the overall spectral intensity in the wavelength domain between the i-line and the h-line can be accurately detected.

例如,具備的有效感度特性為在h線和i線波長的感度為峰值感度的85%以下,分光感度曲線的半寬度比i線和h線之間的波長域更大即可。藉此,排除雜訊的影響,而能夠更確實執行全體光譜變動的檢出。For example, the effective sensitivity characteristic is such that the sensitivity at the h-line and the i-line wavelength is 85% or less of the peak sensitivity, and the half-width of the spectral sensitivity curve is larger than the wavelength region between the i-line and the h-line. Thereby, the influence of noise is eliminated, and the detection of the entire spectral variation can be performed more reliably.

另一方面,本發明的另一樣態的測光裝置,其包括:受光部,其具有光電轉換部件等的受光部件和配置於入射光路上的濾器;測定部,其根據入射到前述受光部件的光,進行測光演算;前述受光部具有在g線(436nm)、h線(405nm)、i線(365nm)中相鄰的二個亮線間有峰值感度的分光感度特性。On the other hand, the photometric apparatus according to another aspect of the present invention includes a light receiving unit including a light receiving member such as a photoelectric conversion member and a filter disposed on the incident light path, and a measuring unit that receives light according to the light receiving member. The light-receiving calculation is performed; the light-receiving portion has a spectral sensitivity characteristic having a peak sensitivity between two adjacent bright lines among the g-line (436 nm), the h-line (405 nm), and the i-line (365 nm).

在本發明中,也可以藉由受光部的分光感度特性而測量正確的照度、亮度、光量等,而能夠實現放電燈的正確的測光。上述的分光感度特性可以適用作為更具體的受光部的分光感度特性。In the present invention, accurate illuminance, brightness, amount of light, and the like can be measured by the spectral sensitivity characteristic of the light receiving portion, and accurate photometry of the discharge lamp can be realized. The above-described spectral sensitivity characteristics can be applied as the spectral sensitivity characteristics of a more specific light receiving portion.

測光裝置可以檢出例如照度、亮度、光量等,可以分別構成為照度計、亮度計、光量計。測光裝置可以構成為例如手提(handcarry)型的測光裝置,受光部和測定部可以構成為一體。或者,也可以構成為受光部和測定部之間透過訊號電纜連接。The photometric device can detect, for example, illuminance, brightness, amount of light, etc., and can be configured as an illuminometer, a luminance meter, or a light meter, respectively. The photometric device may be configured, for example, as a hand-carrying type photometric device, and the light-receiving portion and the measuring portion may be integrally formed. Alternatively, the light receiving unit and the measuring unit may be connected by a signal cable.

另一方面,也可以構成為將受光部構成為以電纜連接於桌上型的測光裝置主體。另外,將測光裝置安裝到曝光裝置、或者光源裝置內使用,或者,在曝光準備階段中將測光裝置設置於描繪台以進行測光亦可。On the other hand, the light receiving unit may be configured to be connected to the desktop type photometric apparatus main body by a cable. Further, the photometric device may be mounted in the exposure device or the light source device, or the photometric device may be placed in the drawing station to perform photometry in the exposure preparation phase.

在本發明的另一樣態的測光裝置,其包括:受光部,其具有受光部件和配置於入射光路上的濾器;測定部,其根據入射到前述受光部件的光,進行測光演算;前述受光部具有在相鄰的二個亮線間有峰值感度的分光感度特性。A photometric apparatus according to another aspect of the present invention includes: a light receiving unit including a light receiving member and a filter disposed on the incident light path; and a measuring unit that performs photometry calculation based on light incident on the light receiving member; and the light receiving unit It has a spectral sensitivity characteristic with peak sensitivity between two adjacent bright lines.

依據本發明,不會被雜訊的支配性放電變動影響,而能夠恰當地測定放電燈的光。According to the present invention, it is possible to appropriately measure the light of the discharge lamp without being affected by the fluctuation of the dominant discharge of the noise.

以下參照圖式說明本發明的實施形態。Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

第1圖為第1實施形態的曝光裝置的概略方塊圖。Fig. 1 is a schematic block diagram of an exposure apparatus according to a first embodiment.

曝光裝置10,係為在表面上形成光阻劑等感光材料的基板SW上直接形成圖形的無光罩曝光裝置,包括:放電燈21、DMD(Digital Micro-mirror Device)24。根據從放電燈21而來的光照射基板SW,在基板SW的表面上形成圖形。The exposure apparatus 10 is a maskless exposure apparatus that directly forms a pattern on a substrate SW on which a photosensitive material such as a photoresist is formed on the surface, and includes a discharge lamp 21 and a DMD (Digital Micro-mirror Device) 24. A pattern is formed on the surface of the substrate SW by irradiating the substrate SW with light from the discharge lamp 21.

放電燈21為高壓或者是超高壓水銀燈,例如含有0.2mg/mm3以上的水銀。放電燈的光譜在大約330nm-480nm是連續的光譜分佈,而且,放射出g線(436nm)、h線(405nm)、i線(365nm)的亮線光譜光。The discharge lamp 21 is a high pressure or an ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp, and contains, for example, mercury of 0.2 mg/mm 3 or more. The spectrum of the discharge lamp is a continuous spectral distribution at about 330 nm to 480 nm, and emits bright line spectral light of g line (436 nm), h line (405 nm), and i line (365 nm).

從放電燈21放射出的光,藉由照明光學系23形成為平行光,經過鏡25、半透明反射鏡27A、鏡27B而被導向DMD24。DMD24為將數μm-數十μm的微鏡2次元排列為矩陣狀的光變調部件陣列(例如1024*768),被曝光控制部60所控制。The light emitted from the discharge lamp 21 is formed into parallel light by the illumination optical system 23, and is guided to the DMD 24 via the mirror 25, the half mirror 27A, and the mirror 27B. The DMD 24 is an array of optical modulating elements (for example, 1024*768) in which micromirrors of a few micrometers to several tens of micrometers are arranged in a matrix, and is controlled by the exposure control unit 60.

DMD24中,依據從曝光控制部60傳送過來的曝光數據,控制使得各微鏡分別選擇地被開/關(ON/OFF)。在ON狀態的微鏡反射的光,透過半透明反射鏡27被導引向投影光學系28。而且,由ON狀態鏡的反射光所形成的光束,亦即圖形像的光被照射到基板SW。一邊使基板SW移動一邊在基板全體形成圖形。In the DMD 24, based on the exposure data transmitted from the exposure control unit 60, the control causes each of the micromirrors to be selectively turned ON/OFF. The light reflected by the micromirrors in the ON state is guided to the projection optical system 28 through the semi-transparent mirror 27. Further, the light beam formed by the reflected light of the ON state mirror, that is, the light of the pattern image is irradiated onto the substrate SW. A pattern is formed on the entire substrate while moving the substrate SW.

曝光裝置10包括由照度演算控制部30、受光部40構成的照度測定控制裝置50。照度測定控制裝置50測定放電燈21的照度,進行定照度點燈控制。藉由受光部40移向投影光學系28的照射領域,放電燈21的光被引向受光部40。在結束對一個基板的描畫之後到開始對下一個基板描畫的期間,依據入射到受光部40的光進行照度測定。The exposure device 10 includes an illuminance measurement control device 50 including an illuminance calculation control unit 30 and a light receiving unit 40. The illuminance measurement control device 50 measures the illuminance of the discharge lamp 21, and performs illuminance lighting control. When the light receiving unit 40 moves to the irradiation area of the projection optical system 28, the light of the discharge lamp 21 is guided to the light receiving unit 40. The illuminance measurement is performed based on the light incident on the light receiving unit 40 after the drawing of one substrate is completed and the drawing of the next substrate is started.

受光部40包括:由光電變換部件等構成的受光部件41、配置為面對受光部件41的受光面的濾器42,從框體部分的窗(未圖示)入射的光,通過設置在入射光路上的濾器42,入射到受光部件41。The light receiving unit 40 includes a light receiving member 41 including a photoelectric conversion member or the like, and a filter 42 disposed to face the light receiving surface of the light receiving member 41, and light incident from a window (not shown) of the housing portion is provided in the incident light. The filter 42 on the road is incident on the light receiving member 41.

如後述,濾器42具有使包含g線(436nm)、h線(405nm)、i線(365nm)的特定帶域的光通過的分光透過率特性,去除該帶域之外的波長域的光。因為入射到受光部件41的光而產生的訊號,被傳送到照度演算控制部30。As will be described later, the filter 42 has a spectral transmittance characteristic that passes light of a specific band including a g-line (436 nm), an h-line (405 nm), and an i-line (365 nm), and removes light in a wavelength range other than the band. The signal generated by the light incident on the light receiving member 41 is transmitted to the illuminance calculation control unit 30.

輸入到照度演算控制部30的訊號,被放大器35施以增幅處理之後,在A/D變換器34中被轉換為數位訊號。而且,在演算部36中算出照度。關於照度算出方法,可以用傳統周知的方法。The signal input to the illuminance calculation control unit 30 is subjected to an amplification process by the amplifier 35, and then converted into a digital signal by the A/D converter 34. Further, the illuminance is calculated by the calculation unit 36. Regarding the illuminance calculation method, a conventionally known method can be used.

照度控制部33,依據照度數據調整由燈驅動部32向放電燈21提供的電力。藉此,在燈被點亮的期間,係以一定的照度從放電燈21向基板SW照射光。The illuminance control unit 33 adjusts the electric power supplied from the lamp driving unit 32 to the discharge lamp 21 based on the illuminance data. Thereby, the light is irradiated from the discharge lamp 21 to the substrate SW with a constant illuminance while the lamp is being turned on.

第2圖為顯示受光部的分光感度特性的圖。第3圖為顯示受光部的分光感度特性與放電燈的分光分佈特性的圖。使用第2、3圖,說明受光部的分光感度特性。Fig. 2 is a view showing the spectral sensitivity characteristics of the light receiving portion. Fig. 3 is a view showing the spectral sensitivity characteristics of the light receiving portion and the spectral distribution characteristics of the discharge lamp. The spectral sensitivity characteristics of the light receiving unit will be described using Figs. 2 and 3 .

由曝光裝置10形成圖形的基板SW的感光材料多半具有反應於作為水銀線之g線、h線或i線上的感光特性。如第2圖所示,受光部40的分光感度曲線L1係為按照這些亮線跨波長域340-480nm的類似高斯分佈的曲線,在385nm有峰值感度P1。在h線(405nm)感度是P2,在i線(365nm)感度是P3,以相對光譜值最高的峰值P1為中心,約略對稱的分佈曲線。The photosensitive material of the substrate SW patterned by the exposure device 10 mostly has a photosensitive property which is reflected on the g-line, the h-line or the i-line as a mercury line. As shown in Fig. 2, the spectral sensitivity curve L1 of the light receiving portion 40 is a curve similar to a Gaussian distribution in which the bright lines cross the wavelength range of 340 to 480 nm, and has a peak sensitivity P1 at 385 nm. The sensitivity at the h line (405 nm) is P2, and the sensitivity at the i line (365 nm) is P3, which is approximately symmetric with respect to the peak P1 having the highest relative spectral value.

在第3圖中,顯示受光部的分光感度曲線L1以及放電燈21的分光分佈曲線SP。在此,受光部的分光感度曲線L1係基於濾器42的分光透過率特性和受光部件41的分光感度特性。放電燈21放射包含g線(436nm)、h線(405nm)、i線(365nm)亮線的連續的光譜光,在436nm、405nm、365nm左右的狹窄的波長幅具有銳利的光譜能量。另外,因為是超高壓水銀燈,所以光譜變化相對較緩,而成為在大範圍展開的連續的分佈曲線。In Fig. 3, the spectral sensitivity curve L1 of the light receiving portion and the spectral distribution curve SP of the discharge lamp 21 are displayed. Here, the spectral sensitivity curve L1 of the light receiving unit is based on the spectral transmittance characteristics of the filter 42 and the spectral sensitivity characteristics of the light receiving member 41. The discharge lamp 21 emits continuous spectral light including a bright line of g line (436 nm), h line (405 nm), and i line (365 nm), and has sharp spectral energy at a narrow wavelength range of 436 nm, 405 nm, and 365 nm. In addition, since it is an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp, the spectral change is relatively slow, and it becomes a continuous distribution curve which spreads over a wide range.

在燈點亮時,放電燈21的分光分佈因為自我吸收(吸收光譜)而變動。在第3圖中,顯示在g線(436nm)、h線(405nm)、i線(365nm)附近光譜值急劇地下降的分光分佈曲線,圖示了顯著表現放電燈21的自我吸收現象的分光分佈特性。像這樣在特定的狹窄的波長域中的光譜變動在亮燈中不規則地產生。When the lamp is turned on, the spectral distribution of the discharge lamp 21 fluctuates due to self-absorption (absorption spectrum). In Fig. 3, a spectral distribution curve in which the spectral value sharply decreases in the vicinity of the g-line (436 nm), the h-line (405 nm), and the i-line (365 nm) is shown, and the spectroscopic representation of the self-absorption phenomenon of the discharge lamp 21 is schematically illustrated. Distribution characteristics. Spectral fluctuations in a specific narrow wavelength domain like this are irregularly generated in the lighting.

本實施形態的受光部40的分光感度曲線L1的峰值P1從h線(405nm)、i線(365nm)偏離,對於相鄰二個亮線大致中間的波長的光有最大的感度。另外,相較於P1,在h線的波長的感度比R11、及在i線的波長感度比R12較低,相對於P1=1.0,R11=0.70、R12=0.61,均為P1的85%以下。The peak value P1 of the spectral sensitivity curve L1 of the light receiving unit 40 of the present embodiment deviates from the h line (405 nm) and the i line (365 nm), and has the greatest sensitivity to the light having a wavelength substantially in the middle of the adjacent two bright lines. Further, compared with P1, the sensitivity ratio R11 at the wavelength of the h line and the wavelength sensitivity ratio R12 at the i line are lower, and P11 = 1.0, R11 = 0.70, and R12 = 0.61, all of which are 85% or less of P1. .

此外,分光感度曲線的半寬度(Δλ/2)較h線和i線之間的波長域寬,Δλ/2=50nm。像這樣,將分光感度曲線L1中感度高的波長域從h線、i線脫離,不會受到自我吸收的分光分佈變動的影響,並且,跨越h線和i線之間的波長域全體的光透過。Further, the half width (Δλ/2) of the spectral sensitivity curve is wider than the wavelength range between the h line and the i line, and Δλ/2 = 50 nm. In this way, the wavelength range in which the sensitivity is high in the spectral sensitivity curve L1 is separated from the h line and the i line, and is not affected by the self-absorbed spectral distribution fluctuation, and the light that spans the entire wavelength region between the h line and the i line. Through.

其結果為,入射到受光部件41的光的光譜能量,是不會被雜訊的光譜變動支配的光,而能夠恰當地檢出實際的照度。而且,依據恰當地檢出的照度,執行調整對放電燈21的供應電力的定照度點燈,以避免頻繁的電力調整。As a result, the spectral energy of the light incident on the light receiving member 41 is light that is not governed by the spectral variation of the noise, and the actual illuminance can be appropriately detected. Further, according to the appropriately detected illuminance, the illuminance lighting for adjusting the supply power to the discharge lamp 21 is performed to avoid frequent power adjustment.

像這樣地根據本實施形態,使用放電燈21形成圖形的曝光裝置10,具有由照度演算控制部30以及受光部40構成的照度測定控制裝置50,受光部40的分光感度曲線L1之峰值P1從h線(405nm)、i線(365nm)移開,而設於在相鄰的二個亮線之大致中間的波長域。在h線和i線的感度低於峰值感度,在h線的波長的感度比R1、以及在i線的波長的感度比R2是P1之85%以下。此外分光感度曲線的半寬度(Δλ/2)較h線和i線之間的波長域寬。According to the present embodiment, the exposure apparatus 10 that forms the pattern by the discharge lamp 21 has the illuminance measurement control unit 50 including the illuminance calculation control unit 30 and the light receiving unit 40, and the peak value P1 of the spectral sensitivity curve L1 of the light receiving unit 40 is obtained from The h line (405 nm) and the i line (365 nm) are removed, and are disposed in the wavelength region substantially in the middle of the adjacent two bright lines. The sensitivity of the h-line and the i-line is lower than the peak sensitivity, and the sensitivity ratio R1 at the wavelength of the h-line and the sensitivity ratio R2 at the wavelength of the i-line are 85% or less of P1. Further, the half width (Δλ/2) of the spectral sensitivity curve is wider than the wavelength range between the h line and the i line.

繼之,使用第4~6圖,說明第2實施形態的測光裝置。第2實施形態中,從曝光裝置獨立的測光裝置被使用於照度測定。Next, the photometric apparatus of the second embodiment will be described using Figs. 4 to 6 . In the second embodiment, the photometric device independent of the exposure device is used for illuminance measurement.

第4圖為第2實施形態的照度計的模式圖。Fig. 4 is a schematic view showing an illuminometer according to a second embodiment.

手提(handcarry)型的照度計100包括:具有表示部129的主體120及受光部110,受光部110透過安裝於受光部110的訊號電纜130,連接至主體120的接續部127。為了在未圖示的曝光裝置中進行照度測定,將照度計100的受光部110設置於基板裝載平台上,並將受光部110移向特定的測定點。繼之,確認表示於主體120的表示部129的照度,調整對放電燈的供應電力。The hand-carrying type illuminometer 100 includes a main body 120 having a display portion 129 and a light-receiving portion 110. The light-receiving portion 110 passes through a signal cable 130 attached to the light-receiving portion 110, and is connected to the connecting portion 127 of the main body 120. In order to measure the illuminance in an exposure apparatus (not shown), the light receiving unit 110 of the illuminometer 100 is placed on the substrate loading platform, and the light receiving unit 110 is moved to a specific measurement point. Next, the illuminance of the display unit 129 shown in the main body 120 is confirmed, and the electric power supplied to the discharge lamp is adjusted.

第5圖為第2實施形態的照度計的方塊圖。Fig. 5 is a block diagram of the illuminometer of the second embodiment.

受光部110,在設置於受光部主體110H的上面的窗112的下方,設有濾器114以及受光部件116,受光部110配置為和受光部件116相對向。在此,不僅是具有和第1實施形態相同的分光感度特性的受光部110,還可以選擇性地將具有後述的分光感度特性的受光部110’連接於主體120。The light receiving unit 110 is provided below the window 112 provided on the upper surface of the light receiving unit main body 110H, and is provided with a filter 114 and a light receiving member 116, and the light receiving unit 110 is disposed to face the light receiving member 116. Here, the light-receiving portion 110 having the spectral sensitivity characteristics similar to those of the first embodiment can be selectively connected to the main body 120 by the light-receiving portion 110' having the spectral sensitivity characteristics to be described later.

第6圖為顯示不同於第1實施形態的受光部的分光感度特性的圖。Fig. 6 is a view showing spectral sensitivity characteristics different from those of the light receiving unit of the first embodiment.

如第6圖所示,受光部110’的分光感度分佈曲線L2,係為以大約422nm作為峰值P2的近似高斯分佈的曲線,峰值P2存在於g線(436nm)和h線(405nm)略中心位置。另外,相較於P2,在g線的波長的感度比R21、以及在h線的波長的感度比R22較低,相對於P2=1.0,R21=0.64、R22=0.71,均為P1的85%以下。As shown in Fig. 6, the spectral sensitivity distribution curve L2 of the light receiving portion 110' is a curve having an approximate Gaussian distribution with a peak value P2 of about 422 nm, and the peak P2 exists at the center of the g line (436 nm) and the h line (405 nm). position. In addition, compared with P2, the sensitivity ratio R21 at the wavelength of the g line and the sensitivity ratio R22 at the wavelength of the h line are lower, with respect to P2=1.0, R21=0.64, and R22=0.71, both being 85% of P1. the following.

此外,分光感度曲線的半寬度(Δλ/2)較g線和h線之間的波長域寬,Δλ/2=43nm。像這樣因為分光感度曲線L2在g線和h線的略中間有峰值P2,所以,不會受到自我吸收等造成的雜訊支配的光譜變動的影響,並且,讓h線和i線之間的波長域全體的光譜光適當地通過,引導向受光部件116。Further, the half width (Δλ/2) of the spectral sensitivity curve is wider than the wavelength range between the g line and the h line, and Δλ/2 = 43 nm. Since the spectral sensitivity curve L2 has a peak P2 in the middle of the g line and the h line, it is not affected by the spectral variation of the noise caused by self-absorption or the like, and between the h line and the i line. The spectral light of the entire wavelength region is appropriately passed through and guided to the light receiving member 116.

在受光部110的受光部件116,或者在受光部分110’的受光部件116’產生的電氣訊號,經過放大器122施以增幅處理之後,由A/D轉換器124轉換為數位訊號。繼之,在演算部128計算照度。求出的照度數據顯示於表示部129。控制單元126控制主體內部的電源電路、及訊號處理電路。The electric signal generated by the light receiving member 116 of the light receiving portion 110 or the light receiving member 116' of the light receiving portion 110' is subjected to an amplification process by the amplifier 122, and then converted into a digital signal by the A/D converter 124. Next, the calculation unit 128 calculates the illuminance. The obtained illuminance data is displayed on the display unit 129. The control unit 126 controls the power supply circuit and the signal processing circuit inside the main body.

再者,第1、第2實施形態中係構成為照度計作為測光裝置,但也可以適用亮度計、積算光量計、積算強度計等別的測光裝置。在此情況下,在測光裝置主體中,從基於受光的訊號依據習知的計算處理方法算出亮度、光量、強度等。另外,不僅可以構成為手提(handcarry)型的,也可以構成為桌上型的。此外,也可以藉由使用導溝的滑動機構等,選擇性地將濾器對受光部裝卸自在地安裝。In the first and second embodiments, the illuminance meter is configured as a photometric device. However, other photometric devices such as a luminance meter, an integrated photometer, and an integrated intensity meter may be applied. In this case, in the photometry apparatus main body, luminance, light amount, intensity, and the like are calculated from a conventional calculation processing method based on the received light signal. Further, it may be configured not only as a handcarry type but also as a desktop type. Further, the filter may be selectively attached to the light receiving portion by a sliding mechanism or the like using a guide groove.

也可以使用除上述之外的水銀燈作為放電燈,可以適用發出連續光譜,而且發出包含g線、h線、i線的亮線之連續光譜光的放電燈。或者,也可以使用發出包含其他的複數亮線的連續光譜光的放電燈。在這種情況下,測光裝置係構成為具有配合放電燈的特性的分光感度特性。另外,像第1實施形態一樣,把照度測定裝置組裝於曝光裝置時,也可以為藉由濾器而具有感度特性的構成。It is also possible to use a mercury lamp other than the above as a discharge lamp, and it is possible to apply a discharge lamp that emits a continuous spectrum and emits continuous spectrum light including bright lines of g lines, h lines, and i lines. Alternatively, a discharge lamp that emits continuous spectral light containing other complex bright lines can also be used. In this case, the photometric device is configured to have a spectral sensitivity characteristic that matches the characteristics of the discharge lamp. Further, as in the first embodiment, when the illuminance measuring device is incorporated in the exposure device, the filter may have a sensitivity characteristic.

以下針對本發明的實施例說明。The following is a description of embodiments of the invention.

[實施例][Examples]

本實施例由具有第1、2實施形態說明的分光感度特性的受光部的照度計構成。執行和具有習知的分光感度特性的受光部的照度計的比較實驗。This embodiment is composed of an illuminometer having a light receiving unit having spectral sensitivity characteristics described in the first and second embodiments. A comparative experiment of an illuminometer with a light-receiving portion having a conventional spectral sensitivity characteristic was performed.

第7圖為表示對應於i線(365nm)的傳統的受光部(以下稱為第1傳統受光部)的分光感度特性的圖。第8圖為表示對應於h線(405nm)的傳統的受光部(以下稱為第2傳統受光部)的分光感度特性的圖。Fig. 7 is a view showing the spectral sensitivity characteristics of a conventional light receiving unit (hereinafter referred to as a first conventional light receiving unit) corresponding to an i-line (365 nm). Fig. 8 is a view showing the spectral sensitivity characteristics of a conventional light receiving unit (hereinafter referred to as a second conventional light receiving unit) corresponding to the h line (405 nm).

第7圖所示的分光感度曲線L3為以大約355nm作為峰值感度的分佈曲線,在i線(365nm)附近的短波長側有最大的感度。在h線(405nm)波長的感度比R31=0,在i線(365nm)波長的感度比R32=0.90,分光感度曲線的半寬度Δλ/2=是40nm。The spectral sensitivity curve L3 shown in Fig. 7 is a distribution curve having a peak sensitivity of about 355 nm, and has the largest sensitivity on the short wavelength side near the i-line (365 nm). The sensitivity ratio at the h line (405 nm) wavelength is R31=0, the sensitivity ratio at the i line (365 nm) wavelength is R32=0.90, and the half width Δλ/2 of the spectral sensitivity curve is 40 nm.

第8圖所示的分光感度曲線L4,係以大約405nm作為峰值感度的分佈曲線,在h線(405nm)附近的短波長側有最大的感度。在g線(436nm)波長的感度比R41=0.75,在h線(405nm)波長的感度比R42=0.99,在i線(365nm)波長的感度比R43=0.35,分光感度曲線的半寬度Δλ/2=75nm。不論是哪一條分光感度曲線,其峰值感度都是位於容易受到因為自我吸收的雜訊光譜變動的影響的波長域。The spectral sensitivity curve L4 shown in Fig. 8 has a distribution curve of about 405 nm as a peak sensitivity, and has the largest sensitivity on the short wavelength side near the h line (405 nm). The sensitivity ratio at the wavelength of the g line (436 nm) is R41 = 0.75, the sensitivity ratio at the wavelength of the h line (405 nm) is R42 = 0.99, the sensitivity ratio at the wavelength of the i line (365 nm) is R43 = 0.35, and the half width of the spectral sensitivity curve is Δλ / 2 = 75 nm. Regardless of which spectral sensitivity curve, the peak sensitivity is in a wavelength domain that is susceptible to fluctuations in the spectral spectrum of the self-absorbed noise.

第9圖顯示使用第7圖、第8圖所示之第1、第2傳統受光部執行定照度點燈控制時的燈供應電力的變動的圖表。第10圖顯示使用本實施例的受光部進行定照度點燈控制時的電力變動的圖表。在此,使用水銀0.2mg/mm3以上的超高壓水銀燈作為放電燈,進行定照度點燈控制。Fig. 9 is a graph showing fluctuations in lamp supply power when the first illumination control unit performs the illumination illumination control using the first and second conventional light receiving units shown in Figs. 7 and 8 . Fig. 10 is a graph showing the power fluctuation when the light receiving unit of the present embodiment performs the illuminance lighting control. Here, an ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp having a mercury content of 0.2 mg/mm 3 or more is used as a discharge lamp, and the illuminance lighting control is performed.

在使用如第7圖及第8圖所示之第1、第2傳統受光部的照度計時在燈使用期間,大幅電力變動連續不斷地產生(參照第9圖的M1、M2)。此係表示,受被雜訊支配性的放電變動的影響,檢出不正確的照度,並為了與此配合而執行伴隨大幅電力變動的不必要的電力調整。When the illuminance of the first and second conventional light receiving units shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is used, the large power fluctuation is continuously generated during the use of the lamp (see M1 and M2 in Fig. 9). This indicates that an unacceptable illuminance is detected due to the fluctuation of the noise dominated by the noise, and an unnecessary power adjustment accompanying a large power fluctuation is performed in order to cooperate with this.

第10圖顯示使用本實施例的受光部進行定照度點燈控制時的電力變動的圖表。如第10圖所示,執行電力調整時,幾乎不會產生大幅的電力變動。此係表示,藉由使用如上述的本實施例的受光部,不會被雜訊支配性的放射光譜變動所影響,而能夠確實檢出全體的光譜能量,執行恰當的電力調整。再者,第10圖係顯示對應於第1實施形態的實施例的放電燈的電力變動,與此同樣在對應於第2實施形態的實施例的放電燈中也沒有大幅電力變動。Fig. 10 is a graph showing the power fluctuation when the light receiving unit of the present embodiment performs the illuminance lighting control. As shown in Fig. 10, when power adjustment is performed, there is almost no significant power fluctuation. This means that by using the light-receiving portion of the present embodiment as described above, it is possible to reliably detect the entire spectral energy and perform appropriate power adjustment without being affected by the fluctuation of the radiation spectrum of the noise control. In addition, Fig. 10 shows the electric power fluctuation of the discharge lamp according to the embodiment of the first embodiment. Similarly, in the discharge lamp according to the embodiment of the second embodiment, there is no significant electric power fluctuation.

繼之,針對變化對放電燈的供應電力時的光譜相對積算強度以及光譜相對積算強度的變化,執行比較實驗。關於照度計,係使用本實施例中對應於第1實施形態的實施例,來和傳統例比較。Next, a comparative experiment was performed in response to changes in the relative integrative intensity of the spectrum and the relative integrated intensity of the spectrum when the electric power was supplied to the discharge lamp. The illuminance meter is compared with the conventional example using the embodiment corresponding to the first embodiment in the present embodiment.

第11圖顯示階段式調整供應電力時所測定得到的分光分佈的變化的圖。使電力在170W-250W的範圍中以每20W為一階而階段式地變化,圖示該時間點的光譜分佈SL1-SL5。供應電力減少,則分光分佈曲線的光譜強度總體下降。再者,第11圖所示的光譜分佈,係基於用複合測光系統MC-3000-28C(大塚電子股份公司生產)測定從放電燈被放射,並通過光學系的光所得到的分光分佈曲線作成的圖表。Fig. 11 is a view showing a change in the spectral distribution measured when the power is supplied in a stepwise manner. The electric power is changed stepwise in the range of 170 W - 250 W in the order of every 20 W, and the spectral distributions SL1 - SL5 at this time point are shown. When the supply power is reduced, the spectral intensity of the spectral distribution curve generally decreases. Further, the spectral distribution shown in Fig. 11 is based on a spectroscopic distribution curve obtained by measuring the light emitted from the discharge lamp and passing through the optical system using a composite photometric system MC-3000-28C (manufactured by Otsuka Electronics Co., Ltd.). Chart.

第12圖顯示對每個電力繪製光譜相對積算強度的圖表。在此,對於各供應電力測量的分光分佈曲線,以受光部的感度曲線乘算的值加以積算的相對積算值,以各受光部對比並圖表化。在此,以供應電力250 W時的第2傳統受光部的積算值為基準(100%),表示在各受光部的供應電力的積算強度的比例。Figure 12 shows a graph plotting the relative integrand of the spectra for each power. Here, the relative integrated value integrated by the value obtained by multiplying the sensitivity curve of the light receiving unit for each of the spectral distribution curves of the supplied electric power is compared and graphed by the respective light receiving units. Here, the ratio of the integrated intensity of the supplied electric power to each of the light receiving units is expressed on the basis of the integrated value of the second conventional light receiving unit when the power is supplied at 250 W (100%).

例如,就本實施例的受光部來說,對於第11圖所示各供應電力計算的分光分佈曲線,以第2圖所示分光感度曲線對各單位波長(1nm)乘算,求出從300nm到500nm之間的積算值,並表示為相對於以同樣方法算出的供應電力為250W時的第2傳統受光部的積算值的比例。For example, in the light-receiving unit of the present embodiment, the spectral distribution curve calculated for each of the supplied electric powers shown in Fig. 11 is multiplied by the unit wavelength (1 nm) by the spectral sensitivity curve shown in Fig. 2, and is obtained from 300 nm. The integrated value between 500 nm is expressed as a ratio of the integrated value of the second conventional light receiving unit when the supplied electric power calculated by the same method is 250 W.

如第12圖所示,以供應電力250W作為基準,各受光部的光譜相對積算強度下降,積算強度的下降和電力變化量大致成比例。使用本實施例受光部以及第2傳統受光部時,整體的光譜相對積算強度大。As shown in Fig. 12, with respect to the supplied electric power 250W, the spectral integrated strength of each light receiving unit is lowered, and the reduction in the integrated intensity is substantially proportional to the amount of electric power change. When the light receiving unit and the second conventional light receiving unit of the present embodiment are used, the overall spectral total integration intensity is large.

第13圖顯示光譜相對積算強度的變化率的圖表。在此,係藉由以輸入電力170W時作為基準的積算強度的變化率來表示。變化率越大,分解能越高,能夠檢出更細的積算強度的變化,而能更精密地掌握照度變動。如第13圖所示,在使用本實施例的受光部的時候的變化率最大。Figure 13 shows a graph of the rate of change of the relative integrand of the spectrum. Here, it is represented by the rate of change of the integrated intensity with reference to the input power of 170 W. The larger the rate of change, the higher the decomposition energy, the more detailed the change in the integrated intensity can be detected, and the illuminance variation can be grasped more precisely. As shown in Fig. 13, the rate of change at the time of using the light receiving portion of the present embodiment is the largest.

如上所示,藉由使用本實施例的受光部,能夠不被雜訊的支配性的放電變動影響,而且,能夠精密地掌握實際的放電變化(照度變化)。因此,藉由使用本實施例的受光部,可以正確地執行亮度測定,光量測定等其他的測光計算。As described above, by using the light receiving unit of the present embodiment, it is possible to accurately grasp the actual discharge change (illuminance change) without being affected by the dominant discharge fluctuation of the noise. Therefore, by using the light receiving unit of the present embodiment, it is possible to accurately perform other photometry calculations such as brightness measurement and light amount measurement.
