Background art
- Semiconductor devices and liquid crystal display devices are manufactured by a so-called photolithography technique in which a pattern formed on a mask is transferred onto a photosensitive substrate.
- An exposure apparatus used in the photolithographic process has a mask stage for supporting a mask and a substrate stage for supporting a substrate, and projects a mask pattern while sequentially moving the mask stage and the substrate stage. It is transferred to the substrate via.
- further improvement in the resolution of the projection optical system has been desired in order to cope with higher integration of device patterns.
- the resolution of the projection optical system increases as the exposure wavelength used decreases and as the numerical aperture of the projection optical system increases. For this reason, the exposure wavelength used in the exposure apparatus is becoming shorter year by year, and the number of apertures of the projection optical system is also increasing.
- the current mainstream exposure wavelength is 248 nm for a KrF excimer laser, but a shorter wavelength of 193 nm for an ArF excimer laser is also being put into practical use.
- the depth of focus (D OF) is as important as the resolution.
- the resolution R and the depth of focus 5 are respectively expressed by the following equations.
- ⁇ 5 ⁇ k 2 ⁇ input / NA 2 ... (2)
- A is the exposure wavelength
- NA is the numerical aperture of the projection optical system
- l ⁇ , k 2 represent the process coefficients.
- the space between the lower surface of the substrate and the surface of the substrate is filled with a liquid such as water or an organic solvent, and the wavelength of the exposure light in the liquid is 1 / n in air (n is the refractive index of the liquid, which is usually 1.2 to 1. 6) to improve the resolution and increase the depth of focus by approximately n times.

- n is the refractive index of the liquid, which is usually 1.2 to 1. 6
- the liquid between the projection optical system and the substrate is used. If there is a gas part such as air bubbles inside (especially, the surface of the substrate),
- the pattern image formed on the substrate may be degraded due to the effect of (e.g., bubbles)
- bubbles may not only be contained in the supplied liquid but also may be generated in the liquid after the supply.

It is conceivable that at least a part of the pattern is not filled with liquid and a gas part is formed, that is, all or part of the image of the pattern may be projected onto the substrate without passing through the liquid. There is this In this case, the image of the pattern may not be formed on the substrate, and if left untouched, it will not be found that the pattern is not good until the final device is formed, which may lead to a decrease in productivity.

However, there is an advantage that the replacement cost is reduced as compared with a case where the optical element that comes into contact with the liquid 50 is a lens.
- the surface of the optical element that comes into contact with the liquid 50 is contaminated due to scattering particles generated from the resist by irradiation with the exposure light E, or the adhesion of impurities in the liquid 50, and so the optical element is damaged.
- the cost of replacement parts and the time required for replacement can be shortened by making this optical element an inexpensive parallel flat plate compared to a lens. It is possible to suppress an increase in cost (running cost) and a decrease in sloop cost.
