Definitions
- the present invention is used in an EUV exposure apparatus (also called an extreme ultraviolet exposure apparatus, and in the present specification and claims, means an exposure apparatus using ultraviolet light having a wavelength of less than 15 O nm).
- an EUV exposure apparatus also called an extreme ultraviolet exposure apparatus, and in the present specification and claims, means an exposure apparatus using ultraviolet light having a wavelength of less than 15 O nm.
- the present invention relates to a laser plasma EUV light source, a target member, a tape member, a target member manufacturing method, a target supply method, and an EUV exposure apparatus.
- EUV Extra UltraViolet
- the imaginary part k of this refractive index represents absorption of extreme ultraviolet rays. Since ⁇ is much smaller than 1, the real part of the refractive index in this region is very close to 1. Also, since k has a finite value in all materials, there is always absorption. Therefore, a transmission / refraction type optical element such as a conventional lens cannot be used, and an optical system utilizing reflection is used.
- An overview of the EUV exposure system is shown in Fig. 11.
- the EUV light 3 2 emitted from the EUV light source 3 1 is incident on the illumination optical system 3 3 and becomes a substantially parallel light beam through the concave mirror 3 4 acting as a collimator mirror, and a pair of fly aimers 3 5 a and 3 It enters the optical integrator 3 5 consisting of 5 b.
- the pair of fly-eye mirrors 35 a and 35 b for example, a fly-eye mirror disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-11 3 1 2 6 3 8 can be used. The detailed configuration and operation of the fly-eye mirror are described in detail in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-31-263.8 and are not directly related to the present invention. Description is omitted.
- a substantial surface light source having a predetermined shape is formed in the vicinity of the reflecting surface of the second fly-eye mirror 35 b, that is, in the vicinity of the exit surface of the optical integrator 35. .
- Light from a substantial surface light source is deflected by a plane mirror and then forms an elongated arc-shaped illumination area on the mask M (the aperture plate for forming the arc-shaped illumination area is not shown) Is omitted).
- the light from the pattern of the illuminated mask M is transferred to the image of the mask pattern on the wafer W through the projection optical system PL composed of a plurality of mirrors (six mirrors M 1 to M 6 in the example shown in FIG. 11).
- an optical system using such a mirror cannot correct aberrations over the entire wide exposure field, it has a ring-shaped projection exposure field in which aberrations are corrected only at a specific image height.
- a ring-shaped projection exposure field chips of about 30 mm square cannot be exposed at a time, so exposure is performed by synchronously scanning the mask and wafer.
- a multilayer film is formed on a substrate, and a multi-layer film reflector that obtains a high reflectivity by superimposing a number of weak reflected lights at the interface in phase.
- a multi-layer film reflector that obtains a high reflectivity by superimposing a number of weak reflected lights at the interface in phase.
- the reflectivity is 67.5% at normal incidence.
- the vertical incidence is 7 0.
- a reflectance of 2% can be obtained.
- the EUV light source 3 1 is generally used to irradiate a target material with laser light as excitation light, turn the target material into plasma, and generate EUV light (exposure light) Is to use.
- EUV light exposure light
- Such an EUV light source is described in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2 00-0 5 6 09 9.
- the wavelength of 13.5! 1 111 used for EUV exposure equipment is widely researched and developed using Xe plasma (both laser plasma light source and discharge plasma light source).
- Xe plasma both laser plasma light source and discharge plasma light source.
- the reason is that a relatively high conversion efficiency (ratio of EUV light intensity obtained with respect to the input energy) can be obtained, and the problem of debris (scattering particles) is unlikely to occur because it is a gas material at room temperature.
- Xe is a gas body, there is a limit to increasing the conversion efficiency, and it is known that using Sn as a target substance is effective in obtaining higher conversion efficiency.
- the electron temperature rises as the laser beam irradiation intensity increases. If the irradiation intensity is too high, the electron temperature will rise too much and X-rays with short wavelengths will be generated, and the conversion efficiency from laser light to EUV light will decrease. Therefore, there is an optimum value for the laser irradiation intensity, which is about 10 1 1 W / cm 2 .
- the size of the EUV light source is limited by the etendue of the optical system (the product of the cross-sectional area of the luminous flux and the body angle). etendue is the amount stored in the optical system. If the product of the size (area) of the light source and the solid angle of the collecting optical system exceeds the etendue of the collecting optical system, the excess EUV light cannot be taken into the optical system and is wasted. . For this reason, there is a maximum value for the size of the light source.
- debris adheres to the surface of the collector mirror, the reflectivity is significantly reduced.
- Typical debris includes target material fragments, large particles once melted and solidified, ions generated in plasma, atomic neutral particles whose ions have lost their charge due to charge exchange collisions, etc. There are various sizes.
- a so-called mass-limited target is well known as an effective method for suppressing debris consisting of fragments of target material and large particles once melted and hardened. This is a method that uses the minimum amount of material necessary to generate plasma. If all of the target material can be plasmatized (ionized), the ions generated in the plasma and the ions will be subjected to charge exchange. Debris finely decomposed in atomic form, such as atomic neutral particles that have lost their charge due to collisions, etc., can be removed from the optical path by techniques such as gas power tenten, and charged atomic atomic particles Debris can be removed from the optical path by an electromagnetic field.
- the thickness of the target material required to form the plasma by irradiating the target with laser light has been investigated, and it has been confirmed that a thickness of about 100 nm or less is sufficient. From the above considerations, in order to maximize the EUV output and minimize the occurrence of debris in a laser plasma light source, the diameter is about 1 mm (a value smaller than the maximum allowable light source diameter of 1.4 mm). ) in and Ru this the force s I force it is effective to supply vertically extremely flat target material of approximately 1 0 0 nm to the incident direction of the laser beam thickness.

- FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a target used in the laser plasma EUV light source according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
- This target 1 has a disk shape with a diameter of 1 mm and a thickness of 100 nm, and the material is Sn. If the thickness is reduced to 1 O Onm, the mechanical strength decreases, making it very fragile and difficult to handle. In such a case, the thickness may be increased so as to have sufficient mechanical strength. However, from the viewpoint of debris removal, it is preferable to suppress the thickness to 100 nm or less.
- FIG. 2 shows a method for supplying the disk-shaped target 1 in the laser plasma EUV light source according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
- a target 1 is ejected from a nozzle 2 having a slit-shaped opening with the direction of the disk aligned.
- Target 1 is carried in a gas stream. In this example, He gas is used.
- Target 1 may be ejected by vibrating nozzle 2 with a piezo element. Since the outside of the nozzle 2 is kept at a high vacuum, the target 1 emitted from the nozzle 2 reaches the irradiation position of the laser beam in the same posture.
- Nd: YAG laser light source 4 collects pulsed laser light 5 of wavelength 1.06 m by lens 3 and irradiates target 1.
- the spot diameter of the laser is 1 mm, the same as the target 1 diameter, and the irradiation intensity is adjusted to be approximately 1 X 10 1 1 W / cm 2 . Therefore, the laser pulse intensity is 80 J / pulse and the pulse width is 10 ns.
- the irradiation intensity of the laser beam is 10 2 J / mm 2 / pulse, and the area of a circle with a diameter of 1 mm is 0.785 mm 2, so it is 78.5 J / pulse.
- the laser source operates at a repetition frequency of 100 Hz and has an average power of 8 kW. Since the Sn target has a conversion efficiency of 2% or more, the EUV output (output at the light emitting point) of 16 W or more can be obtained with this light source. If the excitation laser is further strengthened to an average output of 80 kW and a repetition frequency of 1 kHz, an EUV output of 1600 W or more can be obtained.
- Figure 3 shows how to extract EUV light.
