Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a reflective mask blank used for manufacturing a semiconductor device or the like, and a method for manufacturing a reflective mask.
- a fine pattern is formed using a photolithography method.
- a number of transfer masks usually called photomasks, are used to form this fine pattern.
- This transfer mask is generally provided with a fine pattern made of a metal thin film or the like on a translucent glass substrate, and the photolithographic method is also used in the manufacture of this transfer mask.
- a mask blank having a thin film (for example, a light shielding film) for forming a transfer pattern (mask pattern) on a translucent substrate such as a glass substrate is used for manufacturing a transfer mask by photolithography.
- the production of a transfer mask using the mask blank includes a drawing process for drawing a desired pattern on the resist film formed on the mask blank, and developing the resist film after drawing to form a desired resist pattern.
- the developing process is formed, the etching process is performed to etch the thin film using the resist pattern as a mask, and the process is performed to peel and remove the remaining resist pattern.
- a desired pattern is drawn on the resist film formed on the mask blank, and then a developing solution is supplied to dissolve a portion of the resist film that is soluble in the developing solution, thereby forming a resist pattern.
- the resist pattern is used as a mask to remove the exposed portion of the thin film on which the resist pattern is not formed by dry etching or wet etching, thereby forming a desired mask pattern on the translucent substrate. Form. Thus, a transfer mask is completed.
- EUV lithography which is an exposure technique using extreme ultraviolet (Extreme Ultra Violet: hereinafter referred to as “EUV”) light, is promising.
- EUV light refers to light in the wavelength band of the soft X-ray region or the vacuum ultraviolet region, and specifically refers to light having a wavelength of about 0.2 to 100 nm.
- a reflective mask has been proposed as a mask used in this EUV lithography.
- Such a reflective mask is a substrate in which a multilayer reflective film that reflects EUV light as exposure light is formed on a substrate, and an absorber film that absorbs EUV light is formed in a pattern on the multilayer reflective film. is there.
- the position of a substrate defect is specified by the distance from that position with the substrate center as the origin (0,0). For this reason, the positional accuracy is low, and there is a variation in detection between apparatuses, and it is difficult to avoid in the order of ⁇ m even when patterning is performed on a pattern forming thin film while avoiding defects. For this reason, the defect is avoided by changing the pattern transfer direction or by roughly shifting the transfer position on the order of mm.
- Patent Document 1 a size equivalent to a sphere equivalent diameter of 30 to 30 mm is formed on the film forming surface of a reflective mask blank substrate for EUV lithography so that the position of a minute defect having a sphere equivalent diameter of about 30 nm can be accurately identified. It is disclosed to form at least three marks of 100 nm.
- the reference mark when the reference mark is formed on the multilayer reflective film, the following various problems occur.
- a protective film having an etching stopper function also referred to as a capping layer or a buffer layer
- the alloy material is generally used in many cases. However, this Ru or its alloy material has poor cleaning resistance, and damage due to the cleaning is large.
- the multilayer reflective film is, for example, an alternately laminated film of about 40 to 60 cycles of Si layer and Mo layer
- etching when a reference mark is formed on the multilayer reflective film by, for example, etching, its cross-sectional shape tends to be a slope, and thus A fiducial mark with a sloping cross section reduces the alignment accuracy.
- the reference mark is formed on the multilayer reflective film, if the multilayer reflective film is completely etched in the depth direction, the etching proceeds to the surface of the glass substrate, which causes a problem that recycling of the glass substrate becomes difficult.
- the present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and the object of the present invention is firstly, the contamination risk of the multilayer reflective film as in the case of forming a reference mark on the multilayer reflective film, It is to provide a reflective mask blank that is not damaged by cleaning and that improves the alignment accuracy with respect to the reference mark in the electron beam drawing process. Second, this reflective mask blank is used to reduce defects. It is to provide a reflective mask.
- a multilayer reflective film is formed on the substrate. After that, only a defect inspection is performed, and then a laminated film is formed on the multilayer reflective film, and a reference mark is formed on the laminated film to obtain a reflective mask blank on which the reference mark is formed.

Abstract
Description
また、近年、半導体産業において、半導体デバイスの高集積化に伴い、従来の紫外光を用いたフォトリソグラフィ法の転写限界を上回る微細パターンが必要とされてきている。このような微細パターン形成を可能とするため、極紫外(ExtremeUltra Violet:以下、「EUV」と呼ぶ。)光を用いた露光技術であるEUVリソグラフィが有望視されている。ここで、EUV光とは、軟X線領域又は真空紫外線領域の波長帯の光を指し、具体的には波長が0.2~100nm程度の光のことである。このEUVリソグラフィにおいて用いられるマスクとして反射型マスクが提案されている。このような反射型マスクは、基板上に露光光であるEUV光を反射する多層反射膜が形成され、該多層反射膜上にEUV光を吸収する吸収体膜がパターン状に形成されたものである。
従来は、ブランクス検査等において、基板の欠陥の存在位置を、基板センターを原点(0,0)とし、その位置からの距離で特定していた。このため、位置精度が低く、装置間でも検出のばらつきがあり、パターン描画時に、欠陥を避けてパターン形成用薄膜にパターニングする場合でもμmオーダーでの回避は困難であった。このため、パターンを転写する方向を変えたり、転写する位置をmmオーダーでラフにずらして欠陥を回避していた。
特許文献1には、球相当直径で30nm程度の微小な欠陥の位置を正確に特定できるように、EUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランク用基板の成膜面に、大きさが球相当直径で30~100nmの少なくとも3つのマークを形成することが開示されている。
ところで、EUV光を露光光として使用する反射型マスクにおいては、特に多層反射膜に存在する欠陥は、修正が殆ど不可能である上に、転写パターン上で重大な位相欠陥となり得るので、転写パターン欠陥を低減させるためには多層反射膜上の欠陥情報が重要である。従って、少なくとも多層反射膜成膜後に欠陥検査を行い、欠陥情報を取得することが望ましい。そのためには、基板上に多層反射膜を成膜して作製した多層反射膜付き基板の例えば多層反射膜に基準マークを形成することが好ましいと考えられる。
まず、多層反射膜に基準マークを形成するプロセスにおいて、多層反射膜表面を汚染させるリスクがある。多層反射膜表面の汚染は、新たな異物欠陥が生じたり、反射率の低下など、反射型マスクにとって重大な問題を生じる。異物欠陥などは洗浄により除去できる可能性もあるが、洗浄後に高感度検査を行う必要があり、場合によっては検査と洗浄を繰返し行う必要が生じ、検査コストが増えるだけでなく、新たな汚染リスクも増えるおそれがある。また、多層反射膜表面上には、通常、多層反射膜を保護するためのエッチングストッパー機能を有する保護膜(キャッピング層あるいはバッファ層とも呼ばれる。)が設けられ、このような保護膜としてはRu又はその合金材料が一般に用いられることが多いが、このRu又はその合金材料は洗浄耐性に乏しく、上記洗浄によるダメージが大きい。
また、多層反射膜に基準マークを形成する場合、多層反射膜を深さ方向に完全にエッチングするとガラス基板表面までエッチングが進行してしまい、ガラス基板のリサイクルが困難になるという問題が生じる。
すなわち、上記課題を解決するため、本発明は以下の構成を有する。

1.基板上に成膜した多層反射膜に対しては通常の欠陥検査のみを行い、基準マークの形成は行わないので、多層反射膜に基準マークを形成する場合の多層反射膜の汚染リスクがなくなる。また、多層反射膜の汚染による欠陥を除去するための洗浄を行う必要がなく、洗浄による多層反射膜表面(保護膜表面)のダメージは生じない。またさらには、多層反射膜の汚染による欠陥を除去するための洗浄と検査を繰返し行う必要も生じないので、検査コストの増大や、新たな汚染リスクの増大の問題も発生しない。

また、本発明によれば、この反射型マスクブランクを使用し、これらの欠陥情報に基づき、描画データの修正を行なうことで欠陥を低減させた反射型マスクを提供することができる。
[基準マーク]
まず、本発明における基準マーク(以下、「本発明の基準マーク」とも呼ぶ。)について詳しく説明する。
図1は、基準マークの配置例を示す反射型マスクブランクの平面図である。
図1では、例えば一例として反射型マスクブランク40の吸収体膜上のコーナー近傍の4箇所に本発明の基準マーク13を形成している。後でも詳しく説明するように、本発明では、基準マークを積層膜や吸収体膜に形成することを特徴としている。
なお、図示していないが、本発明の基準マークの近傍に、該基準マークよりも相対的に大きく、それ自体は基準マークの役割は有していないが、上記基準マーク13との位置関係が予め決められていて、上記基準マーク13の位置を検出し易くするための役割を有するラフアライメントマークを形成するようにしてもよい。
基準マークの個数は特に限定されない。基準マークについては、最低3個必要であるが、3個以上であっても構わない。
上記基準マークは、欠陥情報における欠陥位置の基準となるものであるが、本発明の基準マーク13は、欠陥位置の基準となる位置(基準点)を決定するためのメインマークと、該メインマークの周囲に配置された補助マークとから構成される。そして、上記メインマークは、点対称の形状であって、且つ、電子線又は欠陥検査光の走査方向に対して200nm以上10μm以下の幅の部分を有することが好ましい。
本発明において、上記メインマーク13aは、電子線描画機又は欠陥検査光の走査方向(図3におけるX方向及びY方向)に対して垂直で且つ平行な辺を少なくとも2組有する多角形状であることが好適である。このように、上記メインマーク13aは、電子線又は欠陥検査光の走査方向に対して垂直で且つ平行な辺を少なくとも2組有する多角形状であることにより、電子線描画機、欠陥検査装置による検出の容易性(確実性)を向上させ、また、欠陥検出位置のばらつきを抑えることができる。図2及び図3では、具体例として、上記メインマーク13aが、縦横(X及びY方向)が同じ長さの正方形である場合を示している。この場合、縦横の長さ(L)がそれぞれ200nm以上10μm以下である。
なお、上記メインマーク13a、補助マーク13b、13cはいずれも断面形状を凹形状とし、基準マークの高さ方向に所望の深さを設けることで認識し得る基準マークとしている。電子線や欠陥検査光による検出精度を向上させる観点から、凹形状の底部から表面側へ向かって広がるように形成された断面形状であることが好ましく、この場合の基準マークの側壁の傾斜角度は75度以上であることが好ましい。さらに好ましくは、80度以上、さらに好ましくは、85度以上とすることが望ましい。基準マークの側壁の傾斜角度の上限は、105度以下であることが好ましい。さらに好ましくは、100度以下、さらに好ましくは、95度以下である。基準マークの側壁の傾斜角度は、75度以上105度以下、さらに好ましくは、80度以上100度以下、さらに好ましくは、85度以上95度以下とすることが望ましい。
上記補助マーク13b,13c上を電子線、あるいは欠陥検査光がX方向、Y方向に走査し、これら補助マークを検出することにより、メインマーク13aの位置を大まかに特定することができる。位置が特定された上記メインマーク13a上を電子線、あるいは検査光がX方向及びY方向に走査後、(上記補助マークの走査により検出された)メインマーク13a上の交点P(通常、メインマークの略中心)をもって基準点を決定する。
そこで、上記補助マークを、図5に示すように、いくつかの矩形に分割することができる。図6は、このような態様を具体的に示した例であり、5μm×5μmの大きさのメインマーク13aの一方(Y方向)に、50μm×1μmの大きさの矩形状の補助マーク13b1~13b6を等間隔で配置し、各補助マーク間の間隔(スペース)は50μmとする。
このように補助マークを分割し、分割した個々の補助マークの長辺の長さを短くしても、走査ルールを決めて、出来るだけ少ない走査回数で補助マークを確実に検出することが可能である。また、このように補助マークを分割することで、全体の加工時間の短縮が図れる。
図7及び図8はそれぞれエッジ基準で基準マークを形成する方法を説明するための図である。
例えば、基準マーク形成手段としてFIB(集束イオンビーム)を採用し、吸収体膜に基準マークを形成する場合、吸収体膜を備えた反射型マスクブランクの基板のエッジの検出を行う。基準マークをFIBで加工する場合、反射型マスクブランクの基板のエッジは、2次電子像、2次イオン像、あるいは光学像で認識することができる。基準マークをフォトリソ法で加工する場合、反射型マスクブランクのエッジは、光学像で認識するか、又は反射型マスクブランクを載置するステージの片側に押し付けてエッジを認識することができる。また、基準マークをその他の方法(例えば圧痕)で加工する場合は、光学像で認識することができる。図7に示すように、例えば反射型マスクブランク40の基板の四辺の8箇所(丸印を付した箇所)のエッジ座標を確認し、チルト補正して、原点(0,0)出しを行う。この場合の原点は任意に設定可能であり、基板の角部でも中心でもよい。
また、反射型マスクブランクに基準マークを形成した後、座標計測器で前記基準マークの形成位置を特定し、前記基準マークを形成した反射型マスクブランクと、この場合の基準マークの形成位置情報(特定した基準マークの位置座標)とを対応付けてユーザーに提供することにより、ユーザーは、この基準マークの形成位置情報を利用して基準マークを短時間で確実に検出することができる。また、基準マークの形成位置を座標計測器で特定することにより、電子線描画機の基準座標の変換が可能となる。したがって、反射型マスクブランクを提供されたユーザーは、容易に基準マークに基づき欠陥検査装置により特定した欠陥位置と、描画データとを高精度に照合することが可能となり、最終的に製造されるマスクにおいて欠陥を確実に低減させることができる。
次に、本発明に係る上記基準マークが形成された反射型マスクブランクの製造方法について説明する。
本発明に係る反射型マスクブランクの製造方法は、前記構成1にあるように、基板上に、EUV光を反射する多層反射膜と、該多層反射膜上に、積層膜が形成されている反射型マスクブランクの製造方法であって、前記基板上に、前記多層反射膜を成膜して多層反射膜付き基板を形成する工程と、前記多層反射膜付き基板に対して欠陥検査を行う工程と、前記多層反射膜付き基板の前記多層反射膜上に、前記積層膜を成膜する工程と、前記積層膜の上部に、欠陥情報における欠陥位置の基準となる基準マークを形成して、該基準マークが形成された反射型マスクブランクを形成する工程と、前記基準マークを基準にして前記反射型マスクブランクの欠陥検査を行う工程と、を含むことを特徴としている。
また、本発明に係る反射型マスクブランクの製造方法は、前記構成2にあるように、基板上に、EUV光を反射する多層反射膜と、該多層反射膜上に、EUV光を吸収する吸収体膜が形成されている反射型マスクブランクの製造方法であって、前記基板上に、前記多層反射膜を成膜して多層反射膜付き基板を形成する工程と、前記多層反射膜付き基板に対して欠陥検査を行う工程と、前記多層反射膜付き基板の前記多層反射膜上に、前記吸収体膜を成膜する工程と、前記吸収体膜に、欠陥情報における欠陥位置の基準となる基準マークを形成して、該基準マークが形成された反射型マスクブランクを形成する工程と、前記基準マークを基準にして前記反射型マスクブランクの欠陥検査を行う工程と、を含むことを特徴としている。
なお、以下の説明では、構成2の反射型マスクブランクの製造方法について説明するが、以下の説明において、吸収体膜41や、吸収体膜41とハードマスク膜61との関係を積層膜に置き換えた構成1の反射型マスクブランクの製造方法にも適用できる。詳しくは後述するが、吸収体膜41は、単層膜には限られず、同一材料の積層膜、異種材料の積層膜で構成することができる。また、本発明に係る反射型マスクブランクは、上記のような積層膜あるいは単層膜の吸収体膜とハードマスク膜との積層膜の構成とすることができる。上記構成1のように、多層反射膜上に積層膜を成膜して反射型マスクブランクとする場合、基準マークは積層膜の少なくとも上部を除去して形成されていればよいが、積層膜を厚さ方向にすべて除去して形成してもよい。たとえば、上記のような吸収体膜とハードマスク膜との積層膜の構成を含む場合、少なくともハードマスク膜に基準マークを形成すればよい。
EUV露光用の場合、基板としてはガラス基板11が好ましく、特に、露光時の熱によるパターンの歪みを防止するため、0±1.0×10-7/℃の範囲内、より好ましくは0±0.3×10-7/℃の範囲内の低熱膨張係数を有するものが好ましく用いられる。この範囲の低熱膨張係数を有する素材としては、例えば、SiO2-TiO2系ガラス、多成分系ガラスセラミックス等を用いることが出来る。
上記ガラス基板11の転写パターンが形成される側の主表面は、少なくともパターン転写精度、位置精度を得る観点から高平坦度となるように表面加工されている。EUV露光用の場合、ガラス基板11の転写パターンが形成される側の主表面142mm×142mmの領域において、平坦度が0.1μm以下であることが好ましく、特に好ましくは0.05μm以下である。また、転写パターンが形成される側と反対側の主表面は、露光装置にセットする時に静電チャックされる面であって、142mm×142mmの領域において、平坦度が0.1μm以下、好ましくは0.05μm以下である。
下地層21の膜厚は、例えば10nm~300nmの範囲が好ましい。
例えば、波長13~14nmのEUV光に対する多層反射膜としては、Mo膜とSi膜を交互に40周期程度積層したMo/Si周期積層膜が好ましく用いられる。その他に、EUV光の領域で使用される多層反射膜として、Ru/Si周期多層膜、Mo/Be周期多層膜、Mo化合物/Si化合物周期多層膜、Si/Nb周期多層膜、Si/Mo/Ru周期多層膜、Si/Mo/Ru/Mo周期多層膜、Si/Ru/Mo/Ru周期多層膜などがある。露光波長により、材質を適宜選択すればよい。
保護膜32の膜厚としては、例えば1nm~5nm程度の範囲が好ましい。
以上の下地層21、多層反射膜31、及び保護膜32の成膜方法は特に限定されないが、通常、イオンビームスパッタリング法や、マグネトロンスパッタリング法などが好適である。
なお、図10(b)に示された反射型マスクブランク40においては、ガラス基板11の多層反射膜等が形成されている側とは反対側に裏面導電膜42が設けられている。
上記吸収体膜41の材料としては、例えば、タンタル(Ta)単体又はTaを含む材料が好ましく用いられる。Taを含有する材料としては、TaとBを含む材料、TaとNを含む材料、TaとBを含み、更にOとNの少なくとも何れかを含む材料、TaとSiを含む材料、TaとSiとNを含む材料、TaとGeを含む材料、TaとGeとNを含む材料、TaとPdを含む材料、TaとRuを含む材料等が用いられる。また、Ta以外の材料としては、Cr単体又はCrを含有する材料、Ru単体又はRuを含有する材料、Pd単体又はPdを含有する材料、Mo単体又はMoを含有する材料であってもよい。吸収体膜41が積層膜の場合、上述に挙げた材料を組み合わせた積層構造とすることができる。
上記吸収体膜41の膜厚としては、例えば30nm~100nm程度の範囲が好ましい。吸収体膜41の成膜方法は特に限定されないが、通常、マグネトロンスパッタリング法や、イオンビームスパッタリング法などが好適である。
ここでは、反射型マスクブランク40の吸収体膜41上の所定の位置に、集束イオンビーム(FIB)を用いて、例えば十字形状の基準マーク13を形成している(図10(c)参照)。
なお、図10(c)においては、保護膜32が露出するように吸収体膜41を除去して基準マーク13が形成されている例を示すが、吸収体膜41の途中まで除去して基準マーク13を形成してもよい。
この場合、上記の基準マーク13を基準にして欠陥検査装置により欠陥検査を行い、欠陥検査により検出された欠陥と位置情報とを取得する。図11の(b)は、反射型マスクブランク40に対して行った欠陥検査の結果を模式的に示すもので、図示する黒丸(●)23は、一例として検出された欠陥の位置を示している。
上記の通り吸収体膜41は多層反射膜31上に形成するので、この反射型マスクブランク40の欠陥検査データは、上記で取得した多層反射膜付き基板30の欠陥検査も反映されている。従って、多層反射膜付き基板の欠陥と反射型マスクブランクの欠陥が一致している欠陥を元に、多層反射膜付き基板の欠陥検査データと、反射型マスクブランクの欠陥検査データを照合することにより、上記基準マークを基準にした多層反射膜付き基板の欠陥検査データと、反射型マスクブランクの欠陥検査データを得ることができる。
フォトリソ法で基準マークを形成する場合、図12(b)に示すように、反射型マスクブランク40の表面にレジスト膜51を形成する。このレジスト膜51に対して、基準マーク13のパターンを描画もしくは露光し、現像して、基準マーク13に対応するレジストパターンを形成する。次いで、このレジストパターンをマスクとして、吸収体膜41を例えばドライエッチングすることにより、吸収体膜41上の所定位置に所望の基準マーク13を形成する(図12(c)参照)。
以上のドライエッチングを用いたフォトリソ法で形成した基準マークは、集束イオンビームで形成した基準マークよりも、側壁の垂直性がより良好な断面形状に仕上がるので、例えばマスク製造の電子線描画工程での基準マークのアライメント精度をより向上させることが可能である。
1.基板上に成膜した多層反射膜に対しては通常の欠陥検査のみを行い、基準マークの形成は行わないので、多層反射膜に基準マークを形成する場合の多層反射膜の汚染リスクがなくなる。また、多層反射膜の汚染による欠陥を除去するための洗浄を行う必要がなく、洗浄による多層反射膜表面(保護膜表面)のダメージは生じない。またさらには、多層反射膜の汚染による欠陥を除去するための洗浄と検査を繰返し行う必要も生じないので、検査コストの増大や、新たな汚染リスクの増大の問題も発生しない。
3.吸収体膜に基準マークを形成する過程で、ガラス基板へのエッチングダメージは発生しないので、ガラス基板のリサイクルが容易である。
また、本発明の反射型マスクブランク40には、前記吸収体膜41と前記レジスト膜51との間に、ハードマスク膜(エッチングマスク膜とも言う。)を形成した態様も含まれる。ハードマスク膜は、吸収体膜41をパターニングする際にマスク機能を有するものであり、吸収体膜41の最上層の材料とエッチング選択性が異なる材料により構成する。例えば、吸収体膜41がTa単体又はTaを含む材料の場合、ハードマスク膜は、クロムやクロム化合物、若しくはケイ素やケイ素化合物などの材料を使用することができる。クロム化合物としては、CrとN、O、C、Hから選ばれる少なくとも一つの元素を含む材料が挙げられる。ケイ素化合物としては、SiとN、O、C、Hから選ばれる少なくとも一つの元素を含む材料や、ケイ素やケイ素化合物に金属を含む金属ケイ素(金属シリサイド)や金属ケイ素化合物(金属シリサイド化合物)などの材料が挙げられる。金属ケイ素化合物としては、金属、SiとN、O、C、Hから選ばれる少なくとも一つの元素を含む材料が挙げられる。吸収体膜41が、多層反射膜31側からTaを含む材料と、Crを含む材料の積層膜の場合、ハードマスク膜の材料は、Crを含む材料とエッチング選択性が異なるケイ素、ケイ素化合物、金属シリサイド、金属シリサイド化合物などを選択することができる。
また、本発明の反射型マスクブランク40は、吸収体膜を、互いにエッチング選択性が異なる材料からなる最上層とそれ以外の層との積層膜で構成し、最上層がそれ以外の層に対するハードマスク膜としての機能を有するようにした構成とすることもできる。
吸収体膜41上にハードマスク膜が形成された反射型マスクブランク40においては、上記と同様に多層反射膜付き基板30に対して欠陥検査を行った後、保護膜32上に吸収体膜41を形成する(図13(b))。次に、吸収体膜41の欠陥検査を行うか、又は行わずに吸収体膜41上にハードマスク膜61を形成し(図13(c))、該ハードマスク膜61に基準マーク13を形成する(図13(d))。その後、前記基準マーク13を基準にして反射型マスクブランク40の欠陥検査を行う各プロセスを有する反射型マスクブランクの製造方法とすることができる。
または、上記と同様に多層反射膜付き基板30に対して欠陥検査を行った後、保護膜32上に吸収体膜41を形成する(図14(b))。次に、吸収体膜41上に基準マーク13を形成する(図14(c))。次に、基準マーク13を基準にして吸収体膜41の欠陥検査を行うか、又は行わずに吸収体膜41上にハードマスク膜61を形成する(図14(d))。その後、前記基準マーク13を基準にして反射型マスクブランク40の欠陥検査を行うこともできる。
なお、図13および図14中において、「欠陥検査」を括弧書きで示している箇所は、上述の「吸収体膜41の欠陥検査を行うか、又は行わずに」を意味している。
また、図13または図14に示す実施形態においても、多層反射膜付き基板30に対する欠陥検査は全面検査を行うが、基準マーク13を基準にして反射型マスクブランク40の欠陥検査を行う際は前述のように部分検査を行うことが好ましい。
本発明は、上記構成の反射型マスクブランクにおける前記吸収体膜がパターニングされた反射型マスクの製造方法についても提供する。
すなわち、上述の反射型マスクブランク40における吸収体膜41をパターニングして吸収体膜パターン41aを形成することにより反射型マスク50が作製される(図10(d)、図12(d)参照)。
反射型マスクブランクにおける転写パターンとなる上記吸収体膜をパターニングする方法は、フォトリソグラフィー法が最も好適である。なお、上記エッチングマスク膜を含む構成の反射型マスクブランクを用いて反射型マスクを製造する場合、エッチングマスク膜は最終的には除去してもよいが、残存していても反射型マスクとしての機能に影響がなければ、特に除去しなくてもよい。
上記構成の反射型マスクブランク40における吸収体膜41がパターニングされて得られる反射型マスク50は、多層反射膜付き基板30又は反射型マスクブランク40における欠陥情報に基づく描画データの補正・修正によって、欠陥を低減させたものが得られる。
(実施例1)
両面研磨装置を用い、酸化セリウム砥粒やコロイダルシリカ砥粒により段階的に研磨し、低濃度のケイフッ酸で基板表面を表面処理したSiO2-TiO2系のガラス基板(大きさが約152.0mm×約152.0mm、厚さが約6.35mm)を準備した。得られたガラス基板の表面粗さは、二乗平均平方根粗さ(RMS)で0.25nmであった(原子間力顕微鏡にて測定した。測定領域は1μm×1μm。)。
次に、ガラス基板表面に局所表面加工を施し表面形状を調整した。
得られたガラス基板表面の表面形状(表面形態、平坦度)と表面粗さを測定したところ、142mm×142mmの測定領域において、表裏面の平坦度は80nmで、100nm以下となっており良好であった。
得られたSi下地層表面の表面形状(表面形態、平坦度)と表面粗さを測定したところ、142mm×142mmの測定領域において、80nmで、100nm以下となっており良好であった。また、表面粗さは、1μm×1μmの測定領域において、二乗平均平方根粗さRMSで0.08nmとなっており極めて良好であった。RMSで0.1nm以下と極めて高い平滑性を有しているので、高感度の欠陥検査装置におけるバックグランドノイズが低減し、擬似欠陥検出抑制の点でも効果がある。
また、最大高さ(Rmax)は、1μm×1μmの測定領域において、0.60nmで、Rmax/RMSは7.5となっており、表面粗さのばらつきは小さく良好であった。
また、この多層反射膜付き基板の保護膜表面の反射率を、EUV反射率計により評価したところ、下地層表面粗さばらつきが抑えられたことにより、64%±0.2%と良好であった。
なお、本実施例では、基準マークとして、前述のメインマークと補助マークを図2に示すような配置関係となるように形成した。メインマーク13aは、大きさが5μm×5μmの矩形、深さは吸収体膜を全て除去したので、約70nmとした。また、補助マーク13b,13cはいずれも、大きさが1μm×200μmの矩形、深さは吸収体膜を全て除去したので、約70nmとした。
また、吸収体膜に形成したこの基準マークは、電子線描画装置やブランクス検査装置で、コントラストが0.020と高く、精度良く検出でき、しかも欠陥検出位置のばらつきも81nmとなり、再現性良く検出できることを確認した。
ここで、多層反射膜付き基板の欠陥検査により検出された欠陥と反射型マスクブランクの欠陥検査により検出された欠陥とが一致している複数の欠陥を元に、多層反射膜付き基板の欠陥検査データと、反射型マスクブランクの欠陥検査データとを照合し、吸収体膜に形成した基準マークを基準とする座標変換を行うことにより、吸収体膜に形成した基準マークを基準にした反射型マスクブランクの欠陥検査データと、上記基準マークを基準にした多層反射膜付き基板の欠陥検査データを取得した。
こうして、反射型マスクブランクと、これら欠陥位置情報、欠陥サイズ情報とを対応させた欠陥情報付きEUV反射型マスクブランクを得た。
まず、EUV反射型マスクブランク上に電子線描画用レジストをスピンコーティング法により塗布、ベーキングしてレジスト膜を形成した。
次に、EUV反射型マスクブランクの欠陥情報に基づいて、予め設計しておいたマスクパターンデータと照合し、露光装置を用いたパターン転写に影響のないマスクパターンデータに修正するか、パターン転写に影響があると判断した場合には、例えば欠陥をパターンの下に隠すように修正パターンデータを追加したマスクパターンデータに修正するか、修正パターンデータでも対応ができない欠陥については、マスク作製後の欠陥修正の負荷が低減できるマスクパターンデータに修正し、この修正されたマスクパターンデータに基づいて、上述のレジスト膜に対して電子線によりマスクパターンを描画、現像を行い、レジストパターンを形成した。本実施例では、上記基準マークと欠陥との相対位置関係が高い精度で管理できたので、マスクパターンデータの修正を高精度で行うことができた。
さらに、吸収体膜パターン上に残ったレジストパターンを熱硫酸で除去し、EUV反射型マスクを得た。
この得られたEUV反射型マスクについてマスク欠陥検査装置(KLA-Tencor社製Teron600シリーズ)により検査したところ、多層反射膜上に凸欠陥は確認されなかった。
こうして得られた反射型マスクを露光装置にセットし、レジスト膜を形成した半導体基板上へのパターン転写を行う場合、反射型マスク起因の転写パターンの欠陥も無く、良好なパターン転写を行うことができる。
上記実施例1における基準マークを、フォトリソ法により形成したこと以外は、実施例1と同様にして反射型マスクブランクを作製した。なお、基準マークの形成位置、基準マークの表面形状及び断面形状は実施例1と同様にした。
すなわち、実施例1と同様にして基板上に下地層、多層反射膜、保護膜及び吸収体膜を成膜したEUV反射型マスクブランク上に電子線描画用レジストをスピンコーティング法により塗布、ベーキングしてレジスト膜を形成した。
次に、上述のレジスト膜に対して電子線により基準マークのパターンを描画、現像を行い、レジストパターンを形成した。
形成された基準マークの断面形状を原子間力顕微鏡(AFM)により観察したところ、側壁の傾斜角度は89度であり、実施例1の集束イオンビームを用いるよりも、側壁の垂直性がより良好な形状の基準マークを形成することができた。
実施例1と同様に、多層反射膜付き基板の欠陥検査により検出された欠陥と反射型マスクブランクの欠陥検査により検出された欠陥とが一致している複数の欠陥を元に、多層反射膜付き基板の欠陥検査データと、反射型マスクブランクの欠陥検査データとを照合し、吸収体膜に形成した基準マークを基準とする座標変換を行うことにより、吸収体膜に形成した基準マークを基準にした反射型マスクブランクの欠陥検査データと、上記基準マークを基準にした多層反射膜付き基板の欠陥検査データを取得した。
こうして、反射型マスクブランクと、これら欠陥位置情報、欠陥サイズ情報とを対応させた欠陥情報付きEUV反射型マスクブランクを得た。
得られたEUV反射型マスクについてマスク欠陥検査装置(KLA-Tencor社製Teron600シリーズ)により検査したところ、多層反射膜上に凸欠陥は確認されなかった。
こうして得られた反射型マスクを露光装置にセットし、レジスト膜を形成した半導体基板上へのパターン転写を行う場合、反射型マスク起因の転写パターンの欠陥も無く、良好なパターン転写を行うことができる。
上記実施例1における基準マークを吸収体膜には形成せず、多層反射膜に形成したこと以外は実施例1と同様にして多層反射膜付き基板及び反射型マスクブランクを作製した。
実施例1と同様の基板上に下地層、多層反射膜及び保護膜を成膜した多層反射膜付き基板における上記保護膜を有する多層反射膜に対し、所定の箇所に以下の表面形状で断面形状が凹形状の基準マークを形成した。基準マークの形成は集束イオンビームを用いて行った。この時の条件は加速電圧50kV、ビーム電流値20pAとした。基準マークの形成後、洗浄を行った。
本参考例では、基準マークとして、実施例1と同様のメインマークと補助マークを図2に示すような配置関係となるように形成した。メインマーク13aは、大きさが5μm×5μmの矩形、深さは多層反射膜を全て除去したので、約280nmとした。また、補助マーク13b,13cはいずれも、大きさが1μm×200μmの矩形、深さは多層反射膜を全て除去したので、約280nmとした。
また、多層反射膜に形成したこの基準マークは、ブランクス検査装置で、コントラストが0.025と高く、精度良く検出でき、しかも欠陥検出位置のばらつきも83nmとなり、再現性良く検出できることを確認した。
欠陥検査の結果、欠陥が多数検出されたため、洗浄と欠陥検査を再度繰返した。欠陥が多数検出された原因は、多層反射膜に基準マークを形成する過程において異物欠陥が多数発生したことによるものと考えられる。
この再度の欠陥検査により、上述の基準マークを基準として、凸、凹の欠陥位置情報と、欠陥サイズ情報を取得した。
また、この基準マークを形成した多層反射膜付き基板の保護膜表面の反射率を、EUV反射率計により評価したところ、62%であり、これは基準マークを形成する前の保護膜表面の反射率よりも若干低下していた。
得られた反射型マスクブランクについて、ブランクス欠陥検査装置(KLA-Tencor社製Teron600シリーズ)で欠陥検査を行った。この欠陥検査では、上述の基準マークを基準として、凸、凹の欠陥位置情報と、欠陥サイズ情報を取得した。
こうして、反射型マスクブランクと、これら欠陥位置情報、欠陥サイズ情報とを対応させた欠陥情報付きEUV反射型マスクブランクを得た。
なお、パターン描画工程では、EUV反射型マスクブランクの欠陥情報に基づいて、予め設計しておいたマスクパターンデータと照合し、露光装置を用いたパターン転写に影響のないマスクパターンデータに修正するか、パターン転写に影響があると判断した場合には、例えば欠陥をパターンの下に隠すように修正パターンデータを追加したマスクパターンデータに修正するか、修正パターンデータでも対応ができない欠陥については、マスク作製後の欠陥修正の負荷が低減できるマスクパターンデータに修正し、この修正されたマスクパターンデータに基づいて、レジスト膜に対して電子線によりマスクパターンを描画、現像を行い、レジストパターンを形成した。
この原因は、上述の多層反射膜に基準マークを形成する過程において生じた異物欠陥の一部がその後の洗浄によっても除去されずに多層反射膜上に残留したことや、マスク製造時の電子線描画工程において、表面に吸収体膜が形成されたためにマーク形状の変化した基準マークを用いてアライメントを行ったため、マーク形状の変化によるアライメント誤差が影響したものと推測される。
本実施例は、実施例1、2における吸収体膜を材料の異なる積層膜からなる位相シフト膜とした反射型マスクブランクを作製した。
上記実施例1と同様に多層反射膜付き基板を作製し、多層反射膜付き基板表面をブランクス欠陥検査装置(KLA-Tencor社製Teron600シリーズ)で、基板主表面の中心を基準にして欠陥検査を行った。この欠陥検査では、上記基板主表面の中心を基準とした凸、凹の欠陥位置情報と、欠陥サイズ情報を取得し、欠陥マップを作成した。
次に、DCマグネトロンスパッタリング装置を用いて、上記多層反射膜付き基板の保護膜上に、TaN膜(膜厚:27nm)とCrCON膜(膜厚25nm)の積層膜からなる位相シフト膜を形成し、また、裏面にCrN導電膜(膜厚:20nm)を形成してEUV反射型マスクブランクを得た。
次に、積層膜からなる位相シフト膜に、実施例2と同様にフォトリソ法により基準マークを形成した。なお、基準マークの形成位置、基準マークの表面形状及び断面形状は実施例2と同様にした。
次に、上述のレジスト膜に対して電子線により基準マークのパターンを描画、現像を行い、レジストパターンを形成した。
このレジストパターンをマスクとし、Cl2ガスとO2ガスとの混合ガスによりCrCON膜のドライエッチングを行い、その後、Cl2ガスによりTaN膜のドライエッチングを行うことで位相シフト膜に基準マークを形成した。
形成された基準マークの断面形状を原子間力顕微鏡(AFM)により観察したところ、側壁の傾斜角度は88度であり、良好な形状の基準マークを形成することができた。
こうして、反射型マスクブランクと、これら欠陥位置情報、欠陥サイズ情報とを対応させた欠陥情報付きEUV反射型マスクブランクを得た。
次に、実施例1と同様にして、この欠陥情報付きのEUV反射型マスクブランクを用いて、EUV反射型マスクを作製した。
こうして得られた反射型マスクを露光装置にセットし、レジスト膜を形成した半導体基板上へのパターン転写を行う場合、反射型マスク起因の転写パターンの欠陥も無く、良好なパターン転写を行うことができる。
上記実施例3における位相シフト膜上にハードマスク膜が形成された反射型マスクブランクを作製した。
上記実施例1と同様に多層反射膜付き基板を作製し、多層反射膜付き基板表面をブランクス欠陥検査装置(KLA-Tencor社製Teron600シリーズ)で、基板主表面の中心を基準にして欠陥検査を行った。この欠陥検査では、上記基板主表面の中心を基準とした凸、凹の欠陥位置情報と、欠陥サイズ情報を取得し、欠陥マップを作成した。
次に、DCマグネトロンスパッタリング装置を用いて、上記多層反射膜付き基板の保護膜上に、TaN膜(膜厚:5nm)とCrCON膜(膜厚46nm)の積層膜からなる位相シフト膜を形成し、前記位相シフト膜上にRFスパッタリング装置を用いて、SiO2膜(膜厚:5nm)を形成した。また、裏面にCrN導電膜(膜厚:20nm)を形成してEUV反射型マスクブランクを得た。
なお、上記形成した位相シフト膜を構成するTaN膜、CrCON膜は、反射型マスクにしたときに、保護膜上に形成された位相シフト膜パターンにおける反射率が26%(波長13.5nm)、位相シフト膜パターンと保護膜露出部との反射光の位相差が180度となるように、屈折率n、消衰係数k、膜厚が設定されている。
上記EUV反射型マスクブランク上に電子線描画用レジストをスピンコーティング法により塗布、ベーキングしてレジスト膜を形成した。
次に、上述のレジスト膜に対して電子線により基準マークのパターンを描画、現像を行い、レジストパターンを形成した。
このレジストパターンをマスクとし、CF4ガスによりSiO2膜のドライエッチングを行い、その後、Cl2ガスとO2ガスとの混合ガスによりCrCON膜、Cl2ガスによりTaN膜のドライエッチングを行うことで、ハードマスク膜、位相シフト膜の積層膜に基準マークを形成した。
実施例1と同様に、多層反射膜付き基板の欠陥検査により検出された欠陥と反射型マスクブランクの欠陥検査により検出された欠陥とが一致している複数の欠陥を元に、多層反射膜付き基板の欠陥検査データと、反射型マスクブランクの欠陥検査データとを照合し、吸収体膜に形成した基準マークを基準とする座標変換を行うことにより、吸収体膜に形成した基準マークを基準にした反射型マスクブランクの欠陥検査データと、上記基準マークを基準にした多層反射膜付き基板の欠陥検査データを取得した。
こうして、反射型マスクブランクと、これら欠陥位置情報、欠陥サイズ情報とを対応させた欠陥情報付きEUV反射型マスクブランクを得た。
得られたEUV反射型マスクについてマスク欠陥検査装置(KLA-Tencor社製Teron600シリーズ)により検査したところ、多層反射膜上に凸欠陥は確認されなかった。
こうして得られた反射型マスクを露光装置にセットし、レジスト膜を形成した半導体基板上へのパターン転写を行う場合、反射型マスク起因の転写パターンの欠陥も無く、良好なパターン転写を行うことができる。
また、上述の実施例では、多層反射膜付き基板、反射型マスクブランクともに、下地層を形成した例を挙げて説明したが、これに限られない。下地層が形成されていない多層反射膜付き基板、反射型マスクブランクであっても構わない。
