Description

補正資訊生成裝置、描繪裝置、補正資訊生成方法及描繪方法 Correction information generation device, drawing device, correction information generation method, and drawing method

本發明係關於一種基於基板上之記號之位置資訊生成用於補正對上述基板描繪之圖像之描繪資料之補正資訊的技術。 The present invention relates to a technology for generating correction information for correcting drawing data of an image drawn on the substrate based on position information of a mark on the substrate.

習知以來,藉由對形成於半導體基板或印刷基板、或者電漿顯示裝置或液晶顯示裝置用之玻璃基板等(以下,稱為「基板」)之感光材料照射光,而進行圖案之描繪。近年來,伴隨著圖案之高精細化,利用使光束於感光材料上進行掃描而直接描繪圖案之描繪裝置。 Conventionally, a photosensitive material formed on a semiconductor substrate or a printed substrate, or a glass substrate for a plasma display device or a liquid crystal display device (hereinafter referred to as a "substrate") is irradiated with light to draw a pattern. In recent years, with the high definition of a pattern, a drawing device that directly draws a pattern by scanning a light beam on a photosensitive material.

例如,於日本專利特開2014-143335號公報(文獻1)之描繪裝置中,對在表面安裝有複數個半導體晶片之晶圓(所謂模塑晶圓),自光學頭照射調變雷射光,藉此將以電腦輔助設計(CAD,Computer Aided Design)資料記述之圖案反覆描繪於各半導體晶片。 For example, in the drawing device of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2014-143335 (Document 1), a wafer (a so-called molded wafer) having a plurality of semiconductor wafers mounted on its surface is irradiated with a modulated laser light from an optical head. In this way, patterns described in computer aided design (CAD) data are repeatedly depicted on each semiconductor chip.

然而,於如上所述之模塑晶圓,產生半導體晶片之安裝時之位置偏移或因模塑時產生之應力導致之位置偏移。為了補正此種離散之位置偏移而進行描繪,測定分別設置於複數個半導體晶片之對準標記等記號之位置,計算各記號之測定位置自設計位置之位移,其後進行使對各半導體晶片描繪之圖案之描繪資料與該位移匹配的動作。該複數個記號之位移計算係進行將自拍攝晶圓整體所得之圖像中抽取之複數個記號與設計資料中所包含之複數個記號分別建立對應關 係的配對處理,並將建立對應關係之各記號之測定位置與設計位置進行比較。 However, in the molded wafer as described above, a positional shift during mounting of the semiconductor wafer or a positional shift due to stress generated during molding occurs. In order to correct such discrete positional displacements, the positions of marks such as alignment marks provided on a plurality of semiconductor wafers are measured, the displacements of the measurement positions of each mark from the design position are calculated, and then the semiconductor wafers are drawn. The movement of the pattern's drawing data to match the displacement. The displacement calculation of the plurality of marks is to establish a corresponding relationship between the plurality of marks extracted from the image obtained by photographing the entire wafer and the plurality of marks included in the design data. The system performs the pairing process, and compares the measurement position of each mark that has established the corresponding relationship with the design position.

作為該配對處理之方法,已知有將晶圓之圖像上之記號與設計資料中位於距離該記號之測定位置最近之設計位置的記號建立對應關係之最接近探索法。然而,於拍攝到之晶圓相對於設計資料旋轉之情形等時,有無法利用最接近探索法進行恰當之配對處理之虞。 As a method of the pairing process, a closest search method is known in which a mark on a wafer image and a mark in a design data located at a design position closest to a measurement position of the mark are related. However, when the photographed wafer is rotated relative to the design data, etc., there is a possibility that the closest matching method cannot be used for proper matching processing.

In addition, as described below, the symbol 93 becomes a pair for position measurement. It is called "object mark 93" in the following description. Furthermore, the plurality of target symbols 93 on the substrate 9 are collectively referred to as "target symbol group 94".

FIG. 3 also shows a part of the configuration of the direct drawing device 1 connected to the control unit 19. The control unit 19 becomes a central processing unit (CPU, Central Processing Unit) that performs various arithmetic processing, a read only memory (ROM) that stores basic programs, and a random access memory (RAM, Random Access Memory).

The correction information generating device 31 includes a design position storage unit 311, a measurement position acquisition unit 312, an iterative control unit 313, and a correction information generation unit 314. The correction information generating device 31 generates correction information for correcting the drawing data of the image drawn on the substrate 9 based on the position information of the mark 93 on the substrate 9. The drawing data correction unit 32 corrects the drawing data of the image drawn on the substrate 9 using the correction information generated by the correction information generating device 31.

其次,一面參照圖4,一面對藉由直描裝置1於基板9上描繪圖像之流程進行說明。於直描裝置1,首先,藉由利用補正資訊生成裝置31之設計位置記憶部311記憶而準備於基板9上沿縱向及橫向配置成格子狀之複數個對象記號93即對象記號群94之設計位置(步驟S11)。對象記號群94之設計位置例如自描繪於基板9上之預定之圖像之設計資料即CAD資料中被抽取並記憶於設計位置記憶部311。 Next, referring to FIG. 4, a description will be given of a flow of drawing an image on the substrate 9 by the direct-viewing device 1. In the direct drawing device 1, first, by using the design position memory section 311 of the correction information generating device 31 to memorize, a plurality of object marks 93, that is, object mark groups 94 are arranged on the substrate 9 in a grid shape in the vertical and horizontal directions. Position (step S11). The design position of the object mark group 94 is, for example, extracted from CAD data, which is design data of a predetermined image drawn on the substrate 9, and stored in the design position storage unit 311.

於該設計資料,對象記號群94之複數個對象記號93之設計位置沿著縱向及橫向等間隔地排列。於以下之說明中,將於縱向或橫向上鄰接之各2個對象記號93間之距離稱為「記號間距離」。縱向之記號間距離與橫向之記號間距離可相同,亦可不同。於圖2所示之例中,縱向之記號間距離與橫向之記號間距離相同。記號間距離例如為約2mm。 In the design data, the design positions of the plurality of object marks 93 of the object mark group 94 are arranged at equal intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions. In the following description, the distance between the two object marks 93 adjacent to each other in the vertical or horizontal direction is referred to as "distance between marks". The distance between vertical symbols and the distance between horizontal symbols may be the same or different. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the distance between vertical symbols is the same as the distance between horizontal symbols. The distance between the marks is, for example, about 2 mm.

繼而,藉由攝像部21,拍攝平台11上之基板9之上表面91,並獲取基板9之圖像(以下,稱為「測定圖像」)。基板9之測定圖像係拍攝基板9上之對象記號群94所得之圖像。藉由攝像部21所獲取之測定圖像被發送至控制部19之測定位置獲取部312。 Then, the imaging unit 21 captures the upper surface 91 of the substrate 9 on the stage 11 and acquires an image of the substrate 9 (hereinafter, referred to as a "measurement image"). The measurement image of the substrate 9 is an image obtained by photographing the object mark group 94 on the substrate 9. The measurement image acquired by the imaging section 21 is transmitted to a measurement position acquisition section 312 of the control section 19.

利用測定位置獲取部312,於測定圖像中,獲取作為一對象記號93之注目記號之位置(步驟S12)。於以下之說明中,將測定圖像上之記號之位置稱為「測定位置」。作為注目記號,例如抽取測定圖像中之對象記號群94中於縱向及橫向之一方向上位於最一端之一對象記號93。於圖2所示之例中,抽取對象記號群94中最靠(-X)側之對象記號93作為注目記號,獲取該注目記號之測定位置。於圖2中,以二點鏈線之圓包圍作為注目記號之對象記號93。 The measurement position acquisition unit 312 acquires the position of the attention mark as an object mark 93 in the measurement image (step S12). In the following description, the position of the mark on the measurement image is referred to as a "measurement position". As the attention mark, for example, an object mark 93 located at the extreme end in one of the vertical and horizontal directions in the object mark group 94 in the measurement image is extracted. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the object mark 93 on the (-X) side of the object mark group 94 is extracted as the attention mark, and the measurement position of the attention mark is obtained. In FIG. 2, a circle of a two-dot chain line surrounds the object mark 93 as the attention mark.

繼而,求出與注目記號於縱向或橫向上相距上述記號間 距離之位置即鄰接中心位置,注目以該鄰接中心位置為中心之既定大小之鄰接區域95。繼而,抽取鄰接區域95中所包含之對象記號93作為鄰接於注目記號之鄰接記號,獲取測定圖像中之鄰接記號之測定位置(步驟S13)。於圖2中,以二點鏈線描繪以與上述注目記號於縱向((-Y)側)相距記號間距離之鄰接中心位置為中心之鄰接區域95。於圖2所示之例中,鄰接區域95為由與縱向及橫向大致平行之邊構成之大致矩形狀。鄰接區域95例如為1邊為約200μm之大致正方形。 Then, find the distance between the above-mentioned mark and the note mark in the vertical or horizontal direction. The position of the distance is the adjacent center position. Attention is given to the adjacent area 95 of a predetermined size centered on the adjacent center position. Then, the object mark 93 included in the adjacent area 95 is extracted as an adjacent mark adjacent to the attention mark, and the measurement position of the adjacent mark in the measurement image is obtained (step S13). In FIG. 2, a two-dot chain line is used to describe the adjacent area 95 centered on the adjacent center position of the distance between the symbols above the attention mark in the longitudinal direction ((-Y) side). In the example shown in FIG. 2, the abutting region 95 has a substantially rectangular shape composed of sides substantially parallel to the vertical and horizontal directions. The adjacent region 95 is, for example, a substantially square with one side being about 200 μm.

繼而,藉由利用反覆控制部313控制測定位置獲取部312,而將於步驟S13中測定位置已被獲取之鄰接記號設為新的注目記號(步驟S14)。繼而,返回至步驟S13,反覆獲取鄰接於該新的注目記號之新的鄰接記號之測定位置(步驟S15、S13)。具體而言,求出與新的注目記號於縱向或橫向上相距上述記號間距離之位置即新的鄰接中心位置,注目以該新的鄰接中心位置為中心之既定大小之新的鄰接區域95。繼而,抽取該新的鄰接區域95中所包含之對象記號93作為鄰接於新的注目記號之新的鄰接記號,獲取測定圖像中之新的鄰接記號之測定位置。於反覆控制部313,記憶複數個對象記號93被設為注目記號之順序(以下,稱為「注目順序」)。 Then, by controlling the measurement position acquisition unit 312 with the repeated control unit 313, the adjacent mark whose measurement position has been acquired in step S13 is set as a new attention mark (step S14). Then, it returns to step S13, and iteratively acquires the measurement position of the new adjacent mark adjacent to this new attention mark (step S15, S13). Specifically, a position adjacent to the new attention mark in the vertical or horizontal direction from the above mark is a new adjacent center position, and a new adjacent area 95 of a predetermined size centered on the new adjacent center position is determined. Then, the object mark 93 included in the new adjacent area 95 is extracted as a new adjacent mark adjacent to the new attention mark, and the measurement position of the new adjacent mark in the measurement image is obtained. In the iterative control unit 313, the order of the attention marks 93 (hereinafter referred to as "attention order") is memorized.

反覆進行步驟S13~S15時,例如,將自最初之注目記號沿大致(-Y)方向排列之複數個對象記號93依序設為鄰接記號並獲取測定位置。於在注目記號之(-Y)側之鄰接區域95不存在對象記號93之情形時,注目該注目記號之(+X)側之鄰接區域95,將該鄰接區域95之對象記號93設為鄰接記號並獲取測定位置,其後,將該對象記號93設為新的注目記號。繼而,將自新的該注目記號沿大致(+Y)方向排列之複數個對象記號93依序設為鄰接記號並獲取測定位置。又,於在注 目記號之(+Y)側之鄰接區域95不存在對象記號93之情形時,亦同樣地注目該注目記號之(+X)側之鄰接區域95,將該鄰接區域95之對象記號93設為鄰接記號並獲取測定位置,其後,將該對象記號93設為新的注目記號。 When steps S13 to S15 are repeatedly performed, for example, a plurality of object marks 93 arranged in the approximate (-Y) direction from the first attention mark are sequentially set as adjacent marks and a measurement position is acquired. When the target symbol 93 does not exist in the adjacent area 95 on the (-Y) side of the attention mark, attention is paid to the adjacent area 95 on the (+ X) side of the attention mark, and the target symbol 93 of the adjacent area 95 is set to be adjacent. The measurement position is obtained by marking, and the target mark 93 is set as a new attention mark. Then, a plurality of object marks 93 arranged in the approximate (+ Y) direction from the newly remarked attention mark are sequentially set as adjacent marks, and a measurement position is acquired. Again, in the note In the case where the target symbol 93 does not exist in the adjacent area 95 on the (+ Y) side of the head mark, the adjacent area 95 on the (+ X) side of the target mark is similarly noted, and the target mark 93 in the adjacent area 95 is set to The measurement position is acquired adjacent to the mark, and the target mark 93 is set as a new attention mark.

其後,將自新的該注目記號沿大致(-Y)方向排列之複數個對象記號93依序設為鄰接記號並獲取測定位置。於此情形時,如圖5所示,於對象記號群94中,對分別沿縱向延伸之對象記號93之行即複數個對象記號行96,自(-X)側朝向(+X)方向依序進行對象記號93之測定位置之獲取。於圖5中,以二點鏈線包圍各對象記號行96。於圖5所示之例中,對象記號群94係分別於縱向上橫跨對象記號群94之全長延伸並且沿著橫向排列的複數個對象記號行96之集合。於補正資訊生成裝置31,反覆進行上述步驟S13~S15,直至獲取測定圖像上之所有對象記號93之測定位置為止,即,直至不存在下一鄰接記號為止。 Thereafter, a plurality of object marks 93 arranged in the approximate (-Y) direction from the newly noticed mark are sequentially set as adjacent marks, and a measurement position is acquired. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, in the object symbol group 94, the rows of the object symbols 93 respectively extending in the longitudinal direction, that is, the plurality of object symbol rows 96, are shifted from the (-X) side toward the (+ X) direction. The measurement position of the object mark 93 is acquired sequentially. In FIG. 5, each object symbol line 96 is surrounded by a two-dot chain line. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the object symbol group 94 is a collection of a plurality of object symbol rows 96 extending in the longitudinal direction across the entire length of the object symbol group 94 and arranged in the horizontal direction. In the correction information generating device 31, the above steps S13 to S15 are repeatedly performed until the measurement positions of all the object marks 93 on the measurement image are acquired, that is, until the next adjacent mark does not exist.

再者,對象記號行96亦可為沿橫向延伸之對象記號93之行。於此情形時,對象記號群94係分別於橫向上橫跨對象記號群94之全長延伸並且沿著縱向排列的複數個對象記號行96之集合。於補正資訊生成裝置31,與上述同樣地,藉由反覆進行上述步驟S13~S15而對複數個對象記號行96,例如自(+Y)側朝向(-Y)方向依序進行對象記號93之測定位置之獲取,直至獲取測定圖像上之所有對象記號93之測定位置為止。 Furthermore, the object mark line 96 may be a line of the object mark 93 extending in the horizontal direction. In this case, the object symbol group 94 is a collection of a plurality of object symbol rows 96 that extend across the entire length of the object symbol group 94 in the horizontal direction and are arranged along the vertical direction. In the correction information generating device 31, similar to the above, by repeatedly performing the above steps S13 to S15, a plurality of object mark lines 96 are sequentially performed, for example, from the (+ Y) side toward the (-Y) direction, the object marks 93 are sequentially performed. The measurement positions are acquired until the measurement positions of all the object marks 93 on the measurement image are acquired.

換言之,於補正資訊生成裝置31,將對象記號群94中於縱向及橫向之一方向上位於最一端之一對象記號設為注目記號。繼而,藉由利用反覆控制部313控制測定位置獲取部312,而於對象記號群94(即,分別於縱向及橫向中另一方向上橫跨對象記號群94之全長 延伸之複數個對象記號行96之集合)中,最先獲取包含注目記號之對象記號行96之測定位置。其後,依序獲取與測定位置已被獲取之對象記號行96於上述一方向上鄰接之對象記號行96之測定位置。 In other words, in the correction information generating device 31, one of the object marks located at the extreme end in the vertical and horizontal directions in the object mark group 94 is set as the attention mark. Then, by controlling the measurement position acquisition unit 312 with the repeated control unit 313, the entire length of the subject mark group 94 (that is, across the entire length of the subject mark group 94 in the other direction in the vertical and horizontal directions, respectively) is controlled. In the extended set of object mark lines 96), the measurement position of the object mark line 96 including the attention mark is first acquired. Thereafter, the measurement positions of the target mark line 96 adjacent to the above-mentioned one side in the above-mentioned one side are sequentially acquired.

當獲取測定圖像上之所有對象記號93之測定位置時,藉由補正資訊生成部314,將該所有對象記號93之各者之測定位置與對象記號群94之設計位置建立對應關係。對象記號群94之測定位置與設計位置之對應關係之建立(即配對處理)例如藉由如下步驟而進行,即,將最先被獲取測定位置之最靠(-X)側之對象記號行96之測定位置與設計資料中位於最靠(-X)側之對象記號行之設計位置建立對應關係,然後以行為單位將剩餘之對象記號行96與設計資料之對象記號行建立對應關係。 When the measurement positions of all the object marks 93 on the measurement image are acquired, the correction information generating section 314 establishes a correspondence relationship between the measurement positions of each of the object marks 93 and the design positions of the object mark group 94. The establishment of the correspondence between the measurement position and the design position of the object mark group 94 (ie, the pairing process) is performed by, for example, the following steps, that is, the object mark line 96 on the most (-X) side where the measurement position is acquired first The measurement position is related to the design position of the object mark line located on the most (-X) side in the design data, and then the remaining object mark line 96 and the object mark line of the design data are established in a correspondence unit.

繼而,針對對象記號群94之各對象記號93,基於對應之測定位置與設計位置之差,生成用於補正描繪資料之補正資訊(步驟S16)。具體而言,獲取各對象記號93之測定位置自設計位置之偏移作為對應於各對象記號93之半導體晶片92自設計位置之位置偏移,而生成對基板9上之所有半導體晶片92之位置偏移分別進行補正之補正資訊。 Next, for each target symbol 93 of the target symbol group 94, correction information for correcting the drawing data is generated based on the difference between the corresponding measurement position and the design position (step S16). Specifically, the offset of the measurement position from the design position of each object mark 93 is obtained as the position offset of the semiconductor wafer 92 corresponding to each object mark 93 from the design position, and the positions of all the semiconductor wafers 92 on the substrate 9 are generated. The offset is corrected separately.

當以上述方式獲取補正資訊時,藉由描繪資料補正部32,利用該補正資訊補正對基板9描繪之預定之圖像之描繪資料(步驟S17)。具體而言,基於表示各半導體晶片92自設計位置之位置偏移之補正資訊,補正描繪資料中所包含之描繪於各半導體晶片92之預定之圖案的位置。繼而,基於經補正之描繪資料,控制空間光調變器141及平台移動機構12,藉此使經調變之光於基板上進行掃描。藉此,描繪資料中所包含之各半導體晶片92用之圖案於考慮半導體晶片92之 位置偏移後準確地描繪於對應之各半導體晶片92上(步驟S18)。 When the correction information is acquired in the manner described above, the drawing data correction unit 32 corrects the drawing data of a predetermined image drawn on the substrate 9 by using the correction information (step S17). Specifically, the position of a predetermined pattern drawn on each semiconductor wafer 92 included in the drawing data is corrected based on the correction information indicating the positional deviation of each semiconductor wafer 92 from the design position. Then, based on the corrected drawing data, the spatial light modulator 141 and the platform moving mechanism 12 are controlled, so that the modulated light is scanned on the substrate. In this way, the pattern for each semiconductor wafer 92 included in the drawing is used to consider the semiconductor wafer 92. After the position shift, the corresponding semiconductor wafer 92 is accurately drawn (step S18).

如以上所說明般,補正資訊生成裝置31包括設計位置記憶部311、測定位置獲取部312、反覆控制部313、及補正資訊生成部314。設計位置記憶部311記憶於基板9上沿縱向及橫向配置成格子狀之複數個對象記號93即對象記號群94之設計位置。測定位置獲取部312於拍攝對象記號群94所得之圖像即測定圖像中,獲取作為一對象記號93之注目記號之測定位置。繼而,注目於以與該注目記號於縱向或橫向上相距既定距離(記號間距離)之位置即鄰接中心位置為中心之既定大小之鄰接區域95,抽取該鄰接區域95中所包含之對象記號93作為鄰接於注目記號之鄰接記號並獲取該鄰接記號之測定位置。 As described above, the correction information generating device 31 includes a design position memory section 311, a measurement position acquisition section 312, an iterative control section 313, and a correction information generation section 314. The design position storage unit 311 stores the design positions of the plurality of object marks 93, that is, the object mark group 94, arranged on the substrate 9 in a grid shape in the vertical and horizontal directions. The measurement position acquisition unit 312 acquires a measurement position which is an attention mark of the object mark 93 in the measurement image which is an image obtained by the subject mark group 94. Next, attention is drawn to a neighboring area 95 of a predetermined size centered on a position that is a predetermined distance (distance between signs) from the attention mark in the vertical or horizontal direction, that is, the adjacent center position, and the object mark 93 contained in the adjacent area 95 is extracted. Obtain the measurement position of the adjacent symbol as the adjacent symbol adjacent to the attention mark.

反覆控制部313藉由控制測定位置獲取部312,而將鄰接記號設為新的注目記號,並反覆獲取鄰接於新的注目記號之新的鄰接記號之測定位置,直至獲取測定圖像上之所有對象記號93之測定位置為止。補正資訊生成部314將測定圖像上之所有對象記號93之測定位置與對象記號群94之設計位置建立對應關係,並基於對應之測定位置與設計位置之差,生成用於補正描繪資料之補正資訊。 The iterative control unit 313 controls the measurement position acquisition unit 312 to set the adjacency mark to a new attention mark, and repeatedly acquires the measurement position of a new adjacency mark adjacent to the new attention mark, until all of the measurement images are acquired. To the measurement position of the object mark 93. The correction information generating section 314 associates the measurement positions of all the object marks 93 on the measurement image with the design positions of the object mark group 94, and generates corrections for correcting the drawing data based on the difference between the corresponding measurement positions and the design positions. Information.

如此般,於補正資訊生成裝置31,利用已獲取之對象記號93之測定位置,依序獲取於縱向或橫向上鄰接於該對象記號93之其他對象記號93之測定位置,藉此可高精度地獲取對象記號群94之各對象記號93之測定位置。藉此,可容易且恰當地進行對象記號93之配對處理。其結果,可容易且高精度地生成用於補正對基板9描繪之圖像之描繪資料之補正資訊。 In this way, the correction information generating device 31 uses the acquired measurement positions of the object mark 93 to sequentially acquire the measurement positions of other object marks 93 adjacent to the object mark 93 in the vertical or horizontal direction, thereby making it possible to obtain high accuracy. The measurement position of each object mark 93 of the object mark group 94 is acquired. Thereby, the pairing process of the object symbol 93 can be performed easily and appropriately. As a result, it is possible to easily and accurately generate correction information for correcting the drawing data of the image drawn on the substrate 9.

於補正資訊生成裝置31,步驟S13~S15中之對象記號93之測定位置之獲取、及步驟S16中之配對處理亦可針對每一對象記 號行96交替地進行。即,於獲取最先被獲取測定位置之最靠(-X)側之對象記號行96的測定位置後且獲取下一對象記號行96(自(-X)側起為第2個之對象記號行96)之測定位置之前,進行最先之對象記號行96之測定位置與設計位置之對應關係之建立。繼而,每當獲取新的對象記號行96之測定位置時,進行該新的對象記號行96之測定位置與設計位置之對應關係之建立。藉此,於自(-X)側起為第2個之後之對象記號行96之配對處理時,可利用最先之對象記號行96之配對處理之結果,故而可容易地進行上述第2個之後之對象記號行96之配對處理。 In the correction information generating device 31, the acquisition of the measurement position of the object mark 93 in steps S13 to S15, and the pairing process in step S16 can also be recorded for each object. Line 96 is performed alternately. That is, after obtaining the measurement position of the object mark line 96 on the most (-X) side where the measurement position was acquired first, and acquiring the next object mark line 96 (the second object mark from the (-X) side) Before the measurement position of line 96), the correspondence between the measurement position of the first object mark line 96 and the design position is established. Then, whenever a new measurement position of the object mark line 96 is acquired, the correspondence between the measurement position and the design position of the new object mark line 96 is established. With this, when the pairing process of the second object mark line 96 from the (-X) side is performed, the result of the pairing process of the first object mark line 96 can be used, so the second one can be easily performed. Subsequent pairing processing of the object mark line 96.

如上所述,直描裝置1包括補正資訊生成裝置31、光源部13、描繪資料補正部32、空間光調變器141、及平台移動機構12。描繪資料補正部32利用藉由補正資訊生成裝置31生成之上述補正資訊,補正對基板9描繪之圖像之描繪資料。空間光調變器141係基於藉由描繪資料補正部32補正後之描繪資料對來自光源部13之光進行調變的光調變部。平台移動機構12係使藉由空間光調變器141進行調變後之光於基板9上進行掃描的掃描機構。直描裝置1可基於基板9上之複數個對象記號93之位置而實現對基板9上之複數個圖案描繪區域之高精度之描繪。 As described above, the direct drawing device 1 includes the correction information generating device 31, the light source section 13, the drawing data correction section 32, the spatial light modulator 141, and the platform moving mechanism 12. The drawing data correction unit 32 corrects the drawing data of the image drawn on the substrate 9 using the correction information generated by the correction information generating device 31. The spatial light modulator 141 is a light modulation section that modulates light from the light source section 13 based on the drawing data corrected by the drawing data correction section 32. The stage moving mechanism 12 is a scanning mechanism that scans light on the substrate 9 after being modulated by the spatial light modulator 141. The direct drawing device 1 can realize high-precision drawing of a plurality of pattern drawing regions on the substrate 9 based on the positions of the plurality of object marks 93 on the substrate 9.

基於補正資訊生成裝置31之複數個對象記號93之測定位置之獲取順序可進行各種變更。例如,藉由測定位置獲取部312,與上述同樣地,將對象記號群94中於縱向及橫向之一方向上位於最一端之一對象記號93設為注目記號。繼而,藉由利用反覆控制部313控制測定位置獲取部312,而於對象記號群94(即,分別於縱向及橫向中另一方向上橫跨對象記號群94之全長延伸之複數個對象記號行96之集合)中,最先獲取包含注目記號之對象記號行96之測定位置。再者, 注目記號於包含注目記號之對象記號行96中並非必須位於端部,亦存在位於該對象記號行96之中央部之情形。 The acquisition order of the measurement positions of the plurality of object marks 93 by the correction information generating device 31 can be variously changed. For example, in the same way as described above, the measurement position acquisition unit 312 sets the object mark 93 at the extreme end in the vertical and horizontal directions of the object mark group 94 as the attention mark. Then, by controlling the measurement position acquisition unit 312 with the repeated control unit 313, the object mark group 94 (that is, a plurality of object mark rows 96 extending across the entire length of the object mark group 94 in the other direction in the vertical and horizontal directions, respectively) is extended. In the collection), the measurement position of the object mark line 96 including the attention mark is obtained first. Furthermore, The attention mark does not have to be located at the end in the target mark line 96 containing the attention mark, and it may be located at the center of the target mark line 96.

其後,針對最先被獲取測定位置之對象記號行96之各對象記號93,注目以與各對象記號93之測定位置於(+X)側相距記號間距離之鄰接中心位置為中心之鄰接區域95。繼而,於在上述一方向上分別鄰接於最先之對象記號行96之複數個對象記號93之複數個鄰接區域95中,例如自(+Y)側朝向(-Y)側依序獲取各鄰接區域95之對象記號93之測定位置。藉此,獲取自(-X)側起為第2個之對象記號行96之所有對象記號93之測定位置。其後,依序獲取與測定位置已被獲取之對象記號行96於上述一方向上鄰接之對象記號行96之測定位置。 After that, for each object mark 93 of the object mark line 96 whose measurement position was first acquired, attention is paid to the adjacent area centered on the adjacent center position of the distance between the measurement positions of each object mark 93 and the (+ X) side. 95. Then, in the plurality of adjacent areas 95 adjacent to the plurality of object marks 93 adjacent to the first object mark line 96 in the above direction, for example, each adjacent area is sequentially obtained from the (+ Y) side toward the (-Y) side. Measurement position of object mark 93 of 95. Thereby, the measurement positions of all the object marks 93 in the second object mark line 96 from the (-X) side are acquired. Thereafter, the measurement positions of the target mark line 96 adjacent to the above-mentioned one side in the above-mentioned one side are sequentially acquired.

如此般,於補正資訊生成裝置31,可利用測定位置已被獲取之對象記號行96之各對象記號93之測定位置而容易地獲取於上述一方向上鄰接之對象記號行96之各對象記號93之測定位置。 In this way, in the correction information generating device 31, the measurement position of each object mark 93 of the object mark line 96 whose measurement position has been acquired can be used to easily obtain each of the object marks 93 of the object mark line 96 adjacent to the above direction. Measurement position.

又,於此情形時,步驟S13~S15中之對象記號93之測定位置之獲取、及步驟S16中之配對處理亦可針對每一對象記號行96交替地進行。即,於獲取最先被獲取測定位置之最靠(-X)側之對象記號行96之測定位置後且獲取下一對象記號行96(自(-X)側起為第2個之對象記號行96)之測定位置之前,進行最先之對象記號行96之測定位置與設計位置之對應關係之建立。繼而,每當獲取新的對象記號行96之測定位置時,進行該新的對象記號行96之測定位置與設計位置之對應關係之建立。藉此,於自(-X)側起為第2個之後之對象記號行96之配對處理時,可利用最先之對象記號行96之配對處理之結果,故而可容易地進行上述第2個之後之對象記號行96之配對處理。 In this case, the acquisition of the measurement position of the object mark 93 in steps S13 to S15 and the pairing process in step S16 may be performed alternately for each object mark line 96. That is, after obtaining the measurement position of the object mark line 96 on the most (-X) side where the measurement position is acquired first, and acquiring the next object mark line 96 (the second object mark from the (-X) side) Before the measurement position of line 96), the correspondence between the measurement position of the first object mark line 96 and the design position is established. Then, whenever a new measurement position of the object mark line 96 is acquired, the correspondence between the measurement position and the design position of the new object mark line 96 is established. With this, when the pairing process of the second object mark line 96 from the (-X) side is performed, the result of the pairing process of the first object mark line 96 can be used, so the second one can be easily performed. Subsequent pairing processing of the object mark line 96.

獲取上述對象記號93之測定位置時,最先之注目記號 並非必須為測定圖像中之對象記號群94中於縱向及橫向之一方向上位於最一端之一對象記號93。例如,亦可選擇對象記號群94中任一對象記號93作為注目記號,依序注目該注目記號之(+X)側、(-X)側、(+Y)側及(-Y)側之鄰接區域95,將各鄰接區域95之對象記號93設為鄰接記號並獲取測定位置。繼而,將測定位置已被獲取之鄰接記號設為新的注目記號,反覆獲取鄰接於該注目記號之新的鄰接記號中未進行測定位置之獲取的鄰接記號之測定位置。再者,於鄰接於新的注目記號之所有鄰接記號之測定位置獲取完畢之情形時,回溯上述注目順序,選擇新的注目記號而反覆獲取鄰接記號之測定位置。回溯注目順序而選擇之新的注目記號為測定位置獲取完畢之對象記號93,且為與測定位置未被獲取之對象記號93於縱向或橫向上鄰接之對象記號93。 When acquiring the measurement position of the above object mark 93, the first attention mark It is not necessary to be one of the object marks 93 located at the extreme end in the vertical and horizontal directions in the object mark group 94 in the measurement image. For example, any object mark 93 in the object mark group 94 may be selected as the attention mark, and the attention mark (+ X) side, (-X) side, (+ Y) side, and (-Y) side of the attention mark may be sequentially noted. In the adjacent area 95, the object mark 93 of each adjacent area 95 is set as an adjacent mark, and a measurement position is acquired. Then, the adjacent mark whose measurement position has been acquired is set as a new attention mark, and the measurement position of the adjacent mark whose acquisition position is not acquired among the new adjacent marks adjacent to the attention mark is repeatedly acquired. Furthermore, when the measurement positions of all adjacent markers adjacent to the new attention mark are obtained, the above-mentioned attention order is traced back, a new attention mark is selected, and the measurement positions of the adjacent marks are repeatedly obtained. The new attention mark selected by backtracking the attention order is the object mark 93 obtained after the measurement position is acquired, and is the object mark 93 adjacent to the object mark 93 whose measurement position has not been obtained in the vertical or horizontal direction.

於此情形時,亦反覆進行上述步驟S13~S15,直至獲取測定圖像上之所有對象記號93之測定位置為止。當獲取測定圖像上之所有對象記號93之測定位置時,藉由補正資訊生成部314,將該所有對象記號93之各者之測定位置與對象記號群94之設計位置建立對應關係。對象記號群94之測定位置與設計位置之對應關係之建立例如藉由將位於大致矩形狀之對象記號群94之各角部之對象記號93的測定位置與設計資料中位於該各角部之對象記號之設計位置建立對應關係而進行。繼而,針對對象記號群94之各對象記號93,基於對應之測定位置與設計位置之差,生成用於補正描繪資料之補正資訊。藉此,與上述同樣地,可容易且恰當地進行對象記號93之配對處理,其結果,可容易且高精度地生成用於補正描繪資料之補正資訊。 In this case, the above steps S13 to S15 are also repeated until the measurement positions of all the object marks 93 on the measurement image are acquired. When the measurement positions of all the object marks 93 on the measurement image are acquired, the correction information generating section 314 establishes a correspondence relationship between the measurement positions of each of the object marks 93 and the design positions of the object mark group 94. The correspondence between the measurement position and the design position of the object mark group 94 is established, for example, by measuring the measurement position of the object mark 93 located at each corner of the substantially rectangular object mark group 94 and the object located at each corner in the design data. The design positions of the marks are established in correspondence. Then, for each object mark 93 of the object mark group 94, correction information for correcting the drawing data is generated based on the difference between the corresponding measurement position and the design position. This makes it possible to easily and appropriately perform the pairing process of the object symbol 93 in the same manner as described above, and as a result, it is possible to easily and accurately generate the correction information for correcting the drawing data.

圖6係表示直描裝置1之控制部19之其他較佳例的圖。於圖6所示之控制部19,補正資訊生成裝置31a除包括設計位置記憶 部311、測定位置獲取部312、反覆控制部313及補正資訊生成部314以外,進而包括對象記號行獲取部315。 FIG. 6 is a diagram showing another preferred example of the control unit 19 of the direct-viewing device 1. FIG. In the control unit 19 shown in FIG. 6, the correction information generating device 31a includes a design position memory. In addition to the unit 311, the measurement position acquisition unit 312, the iterative control unit 313, and the correction information generation unit 314, the target mark line acquisition unit 315 is further included.

圖7係表示藉由包括補正資訊生成裝置31a之直描裝置1描繪圖像之流程的圖。於該直描裝置1,首先,與圖4所示之步驟S11同樣地,藉由利用補正資訊生成裝置31之設計位置記憶部311記憶而準備於基板9上沿縱向及橫向配置成格子狀之複數個對象記號93即對象記號群94之設計位置(步驟S21)。 FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a flow of drawing an image by the direct drawing device 1 including the correction information generating device 31a. In this direct drawing device 1, first, as in step S11 shown in FIG. 4, by using the design position memory section 311 of the correction information generating device 31 to memorize, it is prepared to be arranged in a grid shape on the substrate 9 in the vertical and horizontal directions. The plurality of object marks 93 are design positions of the object mark group 94 (step S21).

繼而,藉由攝像部21,獲取拍攝基板9上之對象記號群94所得之測定圖像,並發送至控制部19之測定位置獲取部312。於測定位置獲取部312,選擇作為一對象記號93之注目記號,並獲取該注目記號於測定圖像上之位置即測定位置(步驟S22)。於步驟S22中,抽取測定圖像中之對象記號群94中於縱向及橫向之一方向上位於最一端之一對象記號93作為注目記號,並獲取測定位置。例如,如圖2中以二點鏈線之圓包圍般,抽取對象記號群94中最靠(-X)側之對象記號93作為注目記號,並獲取該注目記號之測定位置。 Then, a measurement image obtained by photographing the object mark group 94 on the substrate 9 is acquired by the imaging unit 21 and sent to the measurement position acquisition unit 312 of the control unit 19. The measurement position acquisition unit 312 selects the attention mark as an object mark 93, and acquires the measurement position which is the position of the attention mark on the measurement image (step S22). In step S22, one of the object mark groups 94 located at the extreme end in one of the vertical and horizontal directions in the measurement image is extracted as the attention mark, and the measurement position is obtained. For example, as surrounded by a two-point chain line circle in FIG. 2, the object mark 93 on the (-X) side of the object mark group 94 is extracted as the attention mark, and the measurement position of the attention mark is obtained.

繼而,求出與注目記號於縱向及橫向中另一方向上相距上述記號間距離之位置即鄰接中心位置,注目以該鄰接中心位置為中心之既定大小之鄰接區域95。例如,如圖2中以二點鏈線表示般,注目以與上述注目記號於縱向((-Y)側)相距記號間距離之鄰接中心位置為中心之鄰接區域95。繼而,抽取鄰接區域95中所包含之對象記號93作為鄰接於注目記號之鄰接記號,並獲取測定圖像中之鄰接記號之測定位置。 Next, a position adjacent to the center of the distance between the marker in the other direction in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction is the adjacent center position, and the adjacent region 95 having a predetermined size centered on the adjacent center position is determined. For example, as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, the adjacent area 95 is centered on the adjacent center position of the distance between the symbols from the above-mentioned attention mark in the longitudinal direction ((-Y) side). Then, the object mark 93 included in the adjacent area 95 is extracted as an adjacent mark adjacent to the attention mark, and the measurement position of the adjacent mark in the measurement image is obtained.

其後,藉由對象記號行獲取部315,抽取包含注目記號並且於上述另一方向上橫跨對象記號群94之全長延伸的注目對象記號 行。例如,抽取圖5中沿橫向(X方向)排列之複數個對象記號行96中最靠(-X)側之對象記號行96作為注目對象記號行。進而,藉由利用對象記號行獲取部315控制測定位置獲取部312,而於該注目對象記號行中,將上述鄰接記號設為新的注目記號,並反覆獲取於上述另一方向上鄰接於該新的注目記號之新的鄰接記號之測定位置。藉此,獲取注目對象記號行之所有對象記號93之測定位置(步驟S23)。 After that, the target mark line acquisition unit 315 extracts the target mark that includes the attention mark and extends across the entire length of the target mark group 94 in the other direction. Row. For example, the object mark line 96 on the (-X) side of the plurality of object mark lines 96 arranged in the horizontal direction (X direction) in FIG. 5 is extracted as the attention target mark line. Furthermore, by using the target mark line acquisition section 315 to control the measurement position acquisition section 312, in the attention target mark line, the above-mentioned adjacent mark is set as a new attention mark, and it is repeatedly acquired in the other direction adjacent to the new mark. The measurement position of the new adjacent symbol of the attention mark of. Thereby, the measurement positions of all the object marks 93 in the attention object mark line are acquired (step S23).

若步驟S23結束,則將已藉由反覆控制部313獲取測定位置之對象記號行96自對象記號群94中去除。於以下之說明中,將自對象記號群94中將測定位置已被獲取之對象記號行96去除所得者稱為「未獲取對象記號群」。於存在未獲取對象記號群之情形(步驟S24)時,藉由反覆控制部313控制對象記號行獲取部315,藉此返回至步驟S22,選擇未獲取對象記號群中於上述一方向上位於最一端之一對象記號93即下一注目記號,並獲取該下一注目記號之測定位置(步驟S22)。繼而,獲取包含該下一注目記號之下一注目對象記號行之所有對象記號93之測定位置(步驟S23)。 If step S23 ends, the target mark line 96 that has obtained the measurement position by the repeated control unit 313 is removed from the target mark group 94. In the following description, the object mark group 96 from which the measurement position has been acquired from the object mark group 94 is referred to as an "unobtained object mark group". When there is an unobtained object token group (step S24), the iterative control unit 313 controls the object token line acquisition unit 315, thereby returning to step S22, and selecting the unobtained object token group to be located at the extreme end in the above direction One of the object marks 93 is the next attention mark, and the measurement position of the next attention mark is acquired (step S22). Then, the measurement positions of all the object marks 93 including the next attention object mark line below the next attention mark are acquired (step S23).

於補正資訊生成裝置31a,反覆進行上述步驟S22~S24,直至獲取測定圖像上之所有對象記號93之測定位置為止,即,直至不存在未獲取對象記號群為止。 In the correction information generating device 31a, the above steps S22 to S24 are repeatedly performed until the measurement positions of all the object marks 93 on the measurement image are acquired, that is, until there is no unobtained object mark group.

當獲取測定圖像上之所有對象記號93之測定位置時,藉由補正資訊生成部314,將該所有對象記號93之各者之測定位置與對象記號群94之設計位置建立對應關係(即,進行配對處理)。該配對處理例如藉由如下步驟而進行,即,將最先被獲取測定位置之最靠(-X)側之對象記號行96之測定位置與設計資料中位於最靠(-X)側之對象記號行之設計位置建立對應關係,然後以行為單位將剩餘之對象記號行 96與設計資料之對象記號行建立對應關係。繼而,針對對象記號群94之各對象記號93,基於對應之測定位置與設計位置之差,生成用於補正描繪資料之補正資訊(步驟S25)。 When the measurement positions of all the object marks 93 on the measurement image are acquired, the correction information generating section 314 establishes a corresponding relationship between the measurement positions of each of the object marks 93 and the design positions of the object mark group 94 (that is, For pairing). This pairing process is performed, for example, by the following steps: the measurement position of the object mark line 96 on the most (-X) side where the measurement position is acquired first and the object on the (-X) side of the design data Establish the corresponding relationship between the design positions of the mark lines, and then use the behavior unit to mark the remaining object mark lines 96 Establish a corresponding relationship with the object mark line of the design data. Next, for each target symbol 93 of the target symbol group 94, correction information for correcting the drawing data is generated based on the difference between the corresponding measurement position and the design position (step S25).

當以此方式獲取補正資訊時,藉由描繪資料補正部32,利用該補正資訊補正對基板9描繪之預定之圖像之描繪資料(步驟S26)。繼而,基於經補正之描繪資料,控制空間光調變器141及平台移動機構12,藉此使經調變之光於基板上進行掃描。藉此,描繪資料中所包含之各半導體晶片92用之圖案於考慮半導體晶片92之位置偏移後準確地描繪於對應之各半導體晶片92上(步驟S27)。 When the correction information is acquired in this manner, the drawing data correction unit 32 corrects the drawing data of a predetermined image drawn on the substrate 9 by using the correction information (step S26). Then, based on the corrected drawing data, the spatial light modulator 141 and the platform moving mechanism 12 are controlled, so that the modulated light is scanned on the substrate. Thereby, the pattern for each semiconductor wafer 92 included in the drawing data is accurately drawn on the corresponding semiconductor wafer 92 after considering the positional deviation of the semiconductor wafer 92 (step S27).

如以上所說明般,於補正資訊生成裝置31a,針對每一對象記號行96獲取複數個對象記號93之測定位置,藉此,可容易且恰當地進行對象記號93之配對處理。其結果,可容易且高精度地生成用於補正對基板9描繪之圖像之描繪資料之補正資訊。又,包括補正資訊生成裝置31a之直描裝置1可基於基板9上之複數個對象記號93之位置而實現對基板9上之複數個圖案描繪區域之高精度之描繪。 As described above, in the correction information generating device 31a, the measurement positions of the plurality of object marks 93 are acquired for each object mark line 96, whereby the pairing process of the object marks 93 can be performed easily and appropriately. As a result, it is possible to easily and accurately generate correction information for correcting the drawing data of the image drawn on the substrate 9. In addition, the direct drawing device 1 including the correction information generating device 31 a can realize high-precision drawing of a plurality of pattern drawing areas on the substrate 9 based on the positions of the plurality of object marks 93 on the substrate 9.

於補正資訊生成裝置31a,步驟S22~S24中之對象記號行96之對象記號93之測定位置的獲取、及步驟S25中之配對處理亦可針對每一對象記號行96交替地進行。即,於獲取最先被獲取測定位置之最靠(-X)側之對象記號行96之測定位置後且獲取下一對象記號行96(自(-X)側起第2個對象記號行96)之測定位置之前,進行最先之對象記號行96之測定位置與設計位置之對應關係之建立。繼而,每當獲取新的對象記號行96之測定位置時,進行該新的對象記號行96之測定位置與設計位置之對應關係之建立。藉此,可容易地進行對象記號行96之配對處理。 In the correction information generating device 31a, the acquisition of the measurement position of the object mark 93 of the object mark line 96 in steps S22 to S24, and the pairing process in step S25 may be performed alternately for each object mark line 96. That is, after obtaining the measurement position of the object mark line 96 on the (-X) side which is the first measurement position obtained, and acquiring the next object mark line 96 (the second object mark line 96 from the (-X) side) ) Before the measurement position, the correspondence between the measurement position and the design position of the first object mark line 96 is established. Then, whenever a new measurement position of the object mark line 96 is acquired, the correspondence between the measurement position and the design position of the new object mark line 96 is established. Thereby, the pairing process of the object mark line 96 can be easily performed.
