- the paper "Resolution Enhancement of 157-nm Lithography by Liquid Immersion” published by M. Switkes and M. Rothchild in JM3 1(3), pp 225-228, October 2002 identifies Florinat (perfluoropolyethers : commercial name by Three-M Company, the United States) and deionized water as media having a prescribed transmissivity for a beam having a wavelength ⁇ of 200 nm or less.
- the projection optical system of the present invention may reduce the reflection loss on the optical surface, and finally ensure a large and effective image-side numerical aperture by imparting positive refraction power to the face of the boundary lens on the object side (first plane side) .
- Cb represents a curvature of the face of the boundary lens facing the object
- D the distance _between the optical axis and the outermost point of the effective image forming area (in the case of an exposure apparatus, the distance between the optical axis and the outermost point of the effective exposure area)
- NA the numerical aperture on the image side (the second plane side) .
- effective image forming area and effective exposure area mean an image forming area and an exposure area, of which the aberrations have been sufficiently corrected.
- a value exceeding the upper limit of the conditional formula (1) is not desirable because correction of aberration cannot sufficiently be accomplished over the entire effective image forming area (effective exposure area) .
- a value lower than the lower limit of the conditional formula (1) is not desirable because a sufficient reduction of reflection loss on the optical surface cannot be achieved, leading to a smaller effective numerical aperture, and finally to a poorer resolution.
- a fluorine-based inert liquid such as Florinat or a liquid such as deionized water is used as a medium having a high refractive index provided between the boundary lens between the boundary lens and the image field so as to make it possible to ensure a required transmissivity (to inhibit a light quantity loss) .
- the liquid may suffer from contamination by the photoresist coated onto a substrate such as a wafer.
- the contaminated liquid may stain the image-side optical surface of the boundary lens, causing a decrease in transmissivity of the boundary lens and the liquid.
- an optical member usually an optical member having substantially no refracting power
- a parallel flat sheet in an optical path between the boundary lens and the image field.
- optical member having substantially no refractive power It is furthermore desirable to adopt a configuration so as to permit adjustment of the orientation of the optical member having substantially no refractive power.
- asymmetrical aberration caused by lens eccentricity can be corrected by tilting the optical member relative to the optical axis.
- the optical member having substantially no refractive power should preferably satisfy the following conditional formula (2) :
- D the distance between the optical axis and the outermost point of the effective image forming area (in the case of an exposure apparatus, the distance between the optical axis and the outermost point of the effective exposure area) .
- a value higher than the upper limit of the conditional formula (2) is not desirable because it leads to large changes in the other aberrations upon correcting the asymmetrical aberration by tilting the optical member.
- the projection optical system should preferably comprise a reflection/refraction optical system having at least one concave reflector and a refractive optical member (lens component) .
- This configuration permits achievement of a projection optical system having a large effective image forming area (effective exposure area) and a large image-side numerical aperture NA.
- a refractive-type projection optical system comprising a refractive optical member alone, it is necessary to bring the Petzval sum as close to 0 as possible by alternately arranging a positive lens group and a negative lens group on the object side (near the object surface) of a smaller numerical aperture, in order to correct the field curvature.
- the concave reflector makes a contribution to the Petzval sum similar to that of a negative lens while having a positive refractive power. Correction of the Petzval sum can be easily made through a combination of the concave reflector and the positive lens.
- a projection optical system having a large image-side numerical aperture and a wide effective image forming area (effective exposure area) by a combination of a configuration of the reflection/refraction optical system and a configuration of a liquid-immersion optical system in which a liquid (medium) having a high refractive index is provided in the optical path from the image plane.
- a problem is how to separate a beam directed toward the concave reflector from a return beam reflected from the concave reflector.
- a projection optical system having a large image-side numerical aperture increase in the effective diameter of the optical element (adoption of larger optical elements) is inevitable. Therefore, in a reflection/refraction optical system using a prism-type beam splitter having a transmission reflection surface, the difficulty is encountered that it is difficult to manufacture a larger-sized prism- type beam splitter.
- the projection optical system should preferably have a configuration in which the system has an effective image forming area eccentric from the optical axis, and at least one intermediate image is formed in the optical path. In this configuration, it is possible to easily separate the beam directed toward the concave reflector from the return beam reflected from the concave reflector by arranging a flat reflector for separating the optical paths near the forming position of the intermediate image .
- the projection optical system comprises a first image forming optical system which forms a first intermediate image of the object surface (the first plane) ; a second image forming optical system which has at lease one concave reflector and forms a second intermediate image on the basis of the flux from the first intermediate image; and a third image forming optical system which forms a final image on an image field (the second plane) on the basis of the flux from the second intermediate image; a first deflection
- mirror is arranged in an optical path between the first image forming optical system and the second image forming optical system; a second deflection mirror is arranged in an optical path between the second image forming optical system and the third image forming optical system; and the optical axis of the first image forming optical system agrees with the optical axis of the third image forming optical system.
- this configuration even in an optical system having a large image-side numerical aperture, it is possible to easily separate the beam directed toward the concave reflector from the beam reflected by the concave reflector to return. It is also possible to relatively easily accomplish assembly or adjustment of optical systems since the first image forming optical system and the third image forming optical system are coaxial.
- the object-side numerical aperture should preferably be 0.22 or larger for obtaining a high resolution at an appropriate reduction magnification.
- the light quantity loss caused upon passing through a medium present between the boundary lens and the image field should preferably be 50% or lower.

- the values of the radius of curvature of the surfaces of the optical elements E201 to E233, and the thicknesses of the optical elements E201 to E233 have values according to Tables 1 and 2.
- An important feature is the presence of a liquid (other than glass) between the image side surfaces S264 of the boundary lens 233 and the image plane IP, both of which may be plane (infinite radius of curvature) as illustrated in Fig. 4.
- liquids other than water such as perfluoropolyether, may be used in some embodiments and that the use of the term "liquid” is meant to include any fluid medium other than glass, having a refractive index substantially greater than 1.
- Suitable liquids include water, (which may be de-ionized and/or degassed) and perfluoropolyethers .
- This embodiment of the invention provides improved resolution compared with the dry microlithographic projection system of Figure 1, in which the wafer is immersed in a gas.
- the wafer is immersed in liquid, which reduces the speed and wavelength of light incident on the photoresist by a factor of about 1.4, without changing the wavelength of the light source. It thereby allows numerical apertures (NA) significantly greater than 1.0, by avoiding the total internal reflection of light that would have occurred at the last lens surface if the wafer had been immersed in a gas of refractive index close to 1.0.
- NA numerical apertures
- the "wet" catadioptric NA 1.2 design has a track length (reticle-wafer distance) comparable to a “dry” catadioptric NA 0.85 design, and the same instantaneous wafer field size of 26 x 5 mm and a relatively small increase in lens diameters, which minimizes the changes required in the lithography scanner tool body design, while allowing the same scanned fields to be covered over the wafer.
- a catadioptric design is preferred (although it is not essential) because it does not require large separation of negative and positive powered lens elements for field curvature correction. Instead, the field is flattened by means of a concave positive powered mirror (element E215 in Fig. 2 and Tables 1 and 2) . Negative powered lens elements close to this mirror (so-called Schupmann lenses, elements E213 and E214 in Fig. 2 and Tables 1 and 2) provide further field curvature correction and sufficient achromatization for the NA to be increased above 1.0 without the need for a second type of refracting material or a reduction in spectral bandwidth.
- V-type catadioptric optical design form which uses V-shaped fold mirrors between two intermediate images.
- This form has the advantage of relatively small lens diameters and a mechanical package similar to a dioptric lens.
- this last optical surface should preferably be a plane surface (surface S264 in Figs. 2 and 4 and Tables 1 and 2) . This facilitates the liquid dynamics during wafer scanning, minimizes the possibility of bubble formation within the liquid, and minimizes sensitivity to magnification changes with liquid refractive index and dispersion (lateral color) , since for a telecentric system in wafer space the principal rays enter the liquid at zero angle of incidence.
- the refractive index difference between the last lens element and liquid introduces spherical aberration, which is minimized by using the least possible thickness of liquid and finding a liquid whose refractive index matches as closely as possible that of the lens element.
- the thickness of the liquid is chosen for other reasons, such as optical transmission, as well as liquid dynamics and mechanical considerations during wafer scanning and stepping. This design is not constrained by the choice of liquid thickness or refractive index.
- a liquid thickness of 1 mm is assumed, but the optical design may easily be re- optimized for a different thickness or liquid refractive index. Again this is facilitated by having a plane last lens surface next to the liquid, when the spherical aberration is constant across a large field size, and can be easily corrected at a pupil plane in the system by means of at least one aspheric surface.
- neither the aplanatic nor concentric conditions are used in the last element, i.e., boundary lens, next to the wafer (surface S263 on element E233, Figs. 2 and 4).
- the marginal ray convergence angle is slightly smaller inside element 233 than it was prior to entering it (as seen in Figs. 5 and 6) .
- This feature has three advantages : a.
- the D/R (clear diameter/radius of curvature) of this surface can be constrained to be ⁇ 1.5, which is within normal optical polishing techniques for large, high quality, optical elements. b.
- the resulting spherical aberration and coma may easily be corrected in other elements in the system, including several aspherical surfaces, which is advantageous in the correction of high-order aberrations that change rapidly across the wide field used in microlithography, such as oblique spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism and distortion.
- This strategy is particularly effective in a long, complex system with two intermediate images, such as the V-type catadioptric design. c. There is no focused ghost image on the wafer surface, as would occur with an exactly concentric surface .
- Classical microscope objectives also employ at least one element before the last one that has a combination of aplanatic and concentric surfaces.
- the preferred embodiment of the invention employs, instead, at least two positive meniscus elements before the last one (elements E231 and E232 in Figs. 2 and 3 and Tables 1 and 2) whose surfaces are neither exactly concentric nor aplanatic, so as to avoid both extreme curvatures and extreme angles of incidence near or beyond the critical angle. At least one of these surfaces may be aspheric, so as to perform similar aberration correction functions to those which in lower NA "dry" designs may be achieved with air spaces between adjacent elements (e.g. the air space between elements E230 and E231 in Fig. 2) .
- the relatively high optical power in the last three positive elements minimizes the size increase of lens elements required in the rest of the system as the "dry" NA of 0.85 in designs such as Fig.
- a common feature of known catadioptric "dry” lithography projection systems is a negative powered element between the pupil and wafer.
- This feature which is used to correct aberrations has the disadvantage that in a "wet" catadioptric optical projection system the main positive powered lenses would have to be larger than otherwise.
- the new arrangement in the present application has the advantage that it does not require such a negative powered lens and this further minimizes the lens diameter of the main positive powered lenses, and also the length of the optical path.
- the aberration correction of a negative lens element in "dry” designs e.g. element L38 in Fig. 1
- Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate one embodiment, where it can be seen that the geometric focus F of the marginal rays L, prior to entering the boundary lens E233, is located between the two optical surfaces S263 and S564 of the boundary lens, and is also between the centre of curvature CC of the boundary lens and the optical surface S263 of the boundary lens.
- the refractive index of the boundary lens E233 may typically not be equal to, and practically would be higher than, the refractive index of the layer of immersion liquid IL, the angle S of the marginal ray may increase on passing from the boundary lens E233 to the immersion liquid layer before impinging on the image plane IP.
