- This film structure has the following features: (1) Absorption of substances in the EUV region is highly dependent on the type of element and density of the substance, and (2) a foam structure (porous film) that allows Rayleigh scattering. In this way, attention is paid to securing the film thickness and increasing the film strength.

The problem of becoming particles can arise.

Therefore, the CNT inevitably contains a large amount of impurities. It becomes a large carbon film, and high transmittance cannot be obtained. Further, when the impurities are removed in order to use only a carbon film having a low extinction coefficient, there is a problem that the productivity is lowered and the manufacturing cost is extremely increased.

By forming a hydrogel state and then drying and removing the solvent so that the structure is not crushed, an airgel film as a porous body containing a large amount of bubbles can be obtained.

- the bending stiffness corresponding to the hardness (physical strength) of the film is proportional to the product of the Young's modulus and the cube of the film thickness D because the Poisson's ratio of carbon and Si is both about 0.2.
- the Young's modulus of aC is 30 to 33 GPa and the Young's modulus of gC is 14 GPa, whereas the Young's modulus of Si is 130 to 190 GPa.

- Constraint condition 3 is a structural parameter common to both micro and macro, and the ⁇ value here indicates a value corresponding to L (peak) of the pore distribution. From the significance of this embodiment, the lower limit is set to 0.5.
- the carbon porous membrane actually obtained contains pores having pore diameters smaller than the ⁇ value, and it is difficult to eliminate them. However, pores with small pore diameters are not preferable because they hardly contribute to the improvement of the film thickness of the carbon porous membrane, and only reduce the transmittance due to the lamination of the wall thickness.

- the frame material is preferably an Al—Zn-based aluminum alloy frame (7000-based aluminum alloy frame) in which Zn and Mg are added to increase the strength among aluminum alloys. More preferably, in order to suppress stray light when the EUV light is irradiated onto the frame, elements Mg and Si having a refractive index of EUV light close to a vacuum refractive index of 1.0 and a large extinction coefficient k are added to provide strength and corrosion resistance.
- the mask adhesive 4 for example, an adhesive containing a reaction product of a (meth) acrylic acid alkyl ester and a polyfunctional epoxy compound used in an ArF pellicle introduced in JP 2011-107488 A is used. Can be used. When EUV light is applied to the adhesive, decomposition gas may be generated from the components of the adhesive. Therefore, when the frame is bonded to the mask, the frame adhesive should not protrude from the edge of the frame width. It can be applied narrower than the width of 3. Moreover, as an arrangement
- the mask adhesive 4 is applied in the groove 6 slightly thicker than the depth of the groove 6.
- grooves 7 and 8 may be further provided on both sides of the groove 6 where the mask adhesive 4 is disposed so that the mask adhesive does not protrude from the width of the frame.
- the EUV mask usually peels off the pellicle and is often used again. In this case, the adhesive residue of the mask adhesive on the EUV mask sometimes becomes a problem. Therefore, as a bonding mechanism between the pellicle 10 and the EUV mask, instead of the mask adhesive, as shown in FIG. 9, the conductive coil 12 is attached to the wire core 11 of a ferromagnetic material such as iron Fe, cobalt Co, nickel Ni or the like. Electromagnets 13 wound with metal nanowires, carbon nanowires, etc. are embedded in the grooves 6 of the frame 3 or joined with an adhesive or the like, and on the other hand, a ferromagnetic surface is provided on the EUV mask side as well. It is more preferable to join to. Instead of installing the electromagnet 13 on the frame 3, an electromagnet can be installed on the EUV mask side, and a ferromagnetic wire or the like can be provided in the groove of the frame.
- a ferromagnetic wire or the like can be provided in the groove of the frame
- a mask for EUV made of a multilayer film in which Si and molybdenum (Mo) are alternately deposited on 40 layers of zero expansion glass (LTE glass) alternately a mask that adheres to a frame is used.
- a frame or seal made of ferromagnetism such as permalloy thin film or amorphous rare earth iron alloy film in advance is affixed to these areas, or these ferromagnetic thin films are produced by vacuum deposition, sputter deposition, or electrodeposition. You just have to.
- an inorganic adhesive that has adhesive force and generates little decomposition gas even when irradiated with EUV light and does not affect the exposure.
- an epoxy resin adhesive mixed with an inorganic substance for example, A-3 / C-3 (epoxy resin adhesive using carbon black as a filler) manufactured by Fujikura Kasei Co., Ltd.
- a phenolic adhesive mixed with an inorganic substance for example, FC-403R / XC-223 manufactured by Fujikura Kasei Co., Ltd. (phenolic resin adhesive using graphite as a filler) or inorganic reactive adhesives such as silicate, phosphate, and colloidal silica can be used.
- the mask adhesive 4 when the mask adhesive 4 is used after the frame 3 previously coated with the film adhesive 2 and the pellicle film 1 of the present embodiment are bonded, the mask adhesive on the bonding surface side of the frame 3 with the EUV mask is used.
- the pellicle 10 of this embodiment can be obtained by applying 4 and then attaching a protective film.

[本実施形態の基準値]
本実施形態の基準値とは、本実施形態の課題を達成する上で好ましいペリクル膜の、透過率、散乱量及び膜厚の3つの物性値の値を示す。
本実施形態のペリクル膜は、炭素多孔膜で構成されており、ペリクル膜の膜厚Dが100nm~63μmである。また、本実施形態のペリクル膜は、後述する特定の構造を有していることが好ましい。以下、ペリクル膜の構造を規定するために用いた、前提、炭素多孔膜の構造モデル、及び、各構造パラメータについて説明する。
現実の炭素多孔膜は、細孔が単分散(細孔の細孔径、壁厚又は柱太さ、形状等が同一で且つその様な細孔の集合状態が均一に出来ているとする構造モデル)しているわけではなく、色々な細孔が混在した多分散した構造をとる。しかし、本実施形態では議論を簡単にするため、現実に得られる炭素多孔膜を後述する様な単分散の立方体殻状又は立方体枠状の細孔からなる炭素多孔膜と近似し(以後、それぞれを順に立方体壁組細孔モデル、立方体軸組細孔モデルと称する)、その構造を構造パラメータで規定することができるものとする。
室温における、黒鉛(g-C)の密度W、非晶質炭素(a-C)の密度の値は、それぞれ、Wが2.25~2.26g/cm3(本実施形態ではW=2.25g/cm3とする)、a-Cの密度が1.8~2.1g/cm3である。したがって、実際の炭素の密度はその結晶化度に応じて1.8~2.26g/cm3の範囲内の値を取る。

ρ=W[{8(d/2)2・(L+d/2)+4(d/2)2・L}/L03]=W(1+3αλ/d)/(1+αλ/d)3 …(17)
本実施形態における炭素多孔体膜の好ましい構造は、次の3つの物性値、T、Δ、Dの各基準値に応じて決まる。そして、その炭素多孔膜の構造は、細孔径(L)又は細孔サイズパラメータ(α)、細孔を形成する壁厚又は柱太さ(d)、膜厚方向への細孔の積層数(N)を第1構造パラメータ群として、更にL(又はα)、D、更にρ(ap)又はρと記載する炭素多孔膜の見かけ密度を第2構造パラメータ群として、これらの構造パラメータで規定することができるものとする。第1構造パラメータ群は、ミクロ的な構造パラメータであり、炭素多孔膜の構造を規定するには都合がよいが、直接・間接的に計測・観測するのは困難であり、製造プロセス上でこれらの値を用いて膜の構造を制御・規定するのは難しい。第2構造パラメータ群は、マクロ的な構造パラメータであり、直接・間接的に計測・観測するのは比較的容易であり、製造プロセス上でこれらの値を用いて構造を制御し易いが、これらの値から細孔構造モデルを仮定せずにミクロ的な構造を一意的に決定することはできない。
細孔径(L)とは、ガス吸着式細孔分布測定法の吸着等温線から求められる細孔分布曲線の山のピーク細孔半径r(peak)と、最大ピーク半径r(max)(細孔分布の山と細孔分布のベースの交点において、大きい側の細孔半径値を指す)の値を2倍した値(2倍値と称する)をそれぞれL(peak)、L(max)とし、単位は[nm]とする。なお、r(max)、L(max)は、Δの各基準の上限を議論する場合に用い、それ以外の場合、特に断らなければ、L(peak)をL、r(peak)をrとして用いる。実験的・経験的には、林順一、堀河俊英、炭素、No.236、15-21(2009)[以下、参考文献Aとする]の図6、図8に記載のように、r(max)は、細孔分布図の横軸をrの対数目盛で、縦軸を積分細孔容積のdV/d[Log(r)]とした細孔分布曲線において、概ねr(peak)の1.5~3倍程度になることが多い。また、細孔分布の山が低く、r(max)が分かり難い場合は、r(peak)をr(max)の代替値とする。
細孔サイズパラメータ(α)とは、細孔径をL、露光に用いるEUV光の波長をλとした時、
α=L/λ …(18)
で定義される値であり、細孔径をλに対する倍数で表わしたものである。なお、本件のαは、通常のMie散乱理論で用いられるサイズパラメータΛ(≡2πγ/λ=πα、ここでγは球状散乱体の半径、πは円周率である)の、約1/3となっている。
本実施形態における細孔の壁厚又は柱太さ(d)とは、立方体壁組細孔モデルでは炭素多孔膜を構成する個々の細孔を区切っている(細孔の障壁となっている)炭素壁の平均的な厚みのことであり、立方体壁組の壁の厚みのことである。立方体軸組細孔モデルでは、炭素多孔膜を構成する細孔と細孔とを形式的に区分する炭素棒(柱)の平均的な太さのことであり、立方体の枠の太さのことである。単位は[nm]とする。
細孔の積層数(N)とは、細孔径Lの細孔の、膜厚方向への積層数のことである。本実施形態では、立方体壁組細孔モデルでは式(12)により、立方体軸組細孔モデルでは式(15)により、α、ρ(ap)、Dから算出された値をNとする。Nは、言葉の定義上、N≧1の整数となるべきだが、正の実数値も許すものとする。少数点以下の数値の端数部分は、単分散した立方体殻状又は立方体枠状の細孔が綺麗に積み重なった細孔構造モデルからのズレを反映しているものと考える。
見かけ密度ρ(ap)とは、多孔膜内部に細孔がないものとしたときの膜体積を用いた密度であり、膜の外形寸法から求められる膜の体積Vと膜の質量Gとの比、G/Vとして算出した値である。一方、算術的な見かけ密度ρとは、細孔構造モデルのもと、本実施形態では、立方体壁組細孔モデルでは式(14)により、立方体軸組細孔モデルでは式(17)により、α、ρ(ap)、Dから算出された値をρとする。(前提1)及び(前提2)を仮定しているため、以下、ρ(ap)=ρとして両者を区別せずに扱う。単位は[g/cm3]とする。
膜厚(D)とは、通常の意味で用いられる、シート、フィルム、膜の厚みのことである。本実施形態の厚みの測定は、電子顕微鏡(SEM)を用いて、非接触で多孔膜を1mm以上の間隔をあけて10点以上撮影し、その寸法を平均した値として求めることができる。単位は、通常[nm]を用い、必要に応じて[μm]も用いることとする。
多孔膜の平均的な細孔形状は、参考文献A、松岡秀樹、結晶学会誌、No.41、213-226(1999)、西川恵子、炭素、No.191、71-76(2000)に記載されたように、小角X線散乱(SAXS)の、Debye-Porod領域での散乱強度解析から求めることができる。すなわち、X線散乱強度Iを散乱ベクトルsの関数として、両対数プロットした際、その直線の傾きが-4、-2、-1になれば、細孔の形状がそれぞれ球状、円盤状、円筒状であることを意味する。
2-1.本実施形態のペリクル
本実施形態のペリクル膜について、以下に[技術ポイント]毎に詳細な説明を行う。
技術ポイント1は、ペリクル膜が多孔膜であることである。Mieの散乱理論(Mie散乱自体は球形粒子による散乱であるが、定性的には形状は問わないものとする)では、球状粒子(球状細孔)による光散乱は、粒子(細孔)の直径(細孔径)を2γ、入射光の波長をλとし、粒径サイズパラメータΛ(=2πγ/λ)を用いたとき、Λが1より十分に小さい(Λ<<1)場合はレイリー散乱が生じ、Λがほぼ1に近い(Λ≒1)の場合はMie散乱が生じ、Λが1より十分に大きい(Λ>>1)場合は幾何学的散乱が生じるとされている。したがって、細孔径がΛ≧1の多孔体(多孔膜)であると、露光の際に光が入射したとき、光が細孔壁又は柱と細孔部の界面で散乱され、十分な透過率が得られないだけでなく、マスクの回路像を正しくウエハ上に結像することができないと考えられていた(上記特許文献6、特許文献7参照)。
技術ポイント2は、多孔膜が炭素からなることである。多孔膜として炭素を用いることの第1の利点は、多孔膜化した炭素の、光学定数としての優位性である。一般に、膜を構成する元素の種類と、膜の結晶・非晶の構造の割合による密度が決まると、EUV領域における光学定数n、kを上記非特許文献1から求めることができる。実際には、具体的な数値の算出には、CXRO(The Center for X-ray Optics)のウェブページ<http://henke.lbl.gov/optical_constants/getdb2.html>を用いた。
技術ポイント3は、課題を満たす炭素多孔膜を制約された構造パラメータを用いて規定できることである。
(1)ステップ1
N=1層~5層の立方体壁組細孔モデル及び立方体軸組細孔モデルにおいて、d、αを様々に変化させたモデルを作成した。非特許文献1から求めた炭素(2.25g/cm3)の、λ=13.5nmにおける光学定数n、k(それぞれ、9.61×10-1、7.70×10-3)及びλ=6.75nmにおける光学定数n、k(それぞれ、9.91×10-1、7.70×10-4)と、RSoft社製のRCWA法による回折光学素子設計・解析ソフトウェアDiffractMODを使用して、各モデルの入射角θ=6°におけるT、Δ、Dを計算した。なお、Tは、0次の透過率のことであり、またΔは、全透過率から0次の透過率を差し引いた値のことである。

ステップ1に示した重回帰式より、定性的には、各構造パラメータ群のT、Δへの影響を知ることができた。ステップ1では計算の都合上N≦5としたが、各基準値(Ti、Δi、Di;i=1~3)を満足する第1構造パラメータ群(N、d、α)及び第2構造パラメータ群(ρ、D、α)の値を知るため、各α、dにおけるTi及びΔiの各基準値を満足するNの値、N(Ti)、N(Δi)を推定し、更に式(2)を用いてT及びΔの各基準値を満足するDの値D(Ti)、D(Δi)を求めた。ただし、Δiに関しては、式(27)及び式(31)のR*2が多少小さいため、Tiに比べて誤差が大きくなることが予想された。そこで、Δiに関しては定義による散乱量の値の1/2を各Δiの上限値とした(例えば、定義によれば散乱量10%をΔ1とするべきだが、5%をΔ1の上限とした)。この結果、ペリクル膜を2回通過したときの散乱量がΔ1、Δ2、Δ3に対応して、それぞれ10%、5%、1%となった。なお、N(Ti)、N(Δi)及びD(Ti)、D(Δi)は、それぞれT及びΔの各基準値を満足する、上限の積層数Nmax、上限の膜厚Dmaxを意味する。
ステップ2から、各基準値Ti、Δi、Di(i=1~3)を満足するために必要な構造パラメータα、N、d、ρ、Dの範囲を求めることができる。しかし、本実施形態では、上記に加えて、現実的に得られる炭素多孔膜としての制約条件1~制約条件4を満足した構造パラメータα、N、d、ρ、Dの範囲を本実施形態の課題を満足する炭素多孔膜とする。

本実施形態のペリクル膜の製造方法を以下に紹介するが、本実施形態のペリクル膜としての炭素多孔膜は、この製造方法及びその実施例に限定されるものではない。図5は、ペリクル膜の製造方法を示す図である。
技術ポイント4は、薄膜の成膜技術を導入することである。技術ポイント4は、本実施形態の炭素多孔膜の用途が、既存の炭素多孔膜の用途として全く考えられていなかったペリクル膜であるため、薄膜を得るための成膜技術が追加されていることである。すなわち、後述する本実施形態の炭素多孔膜の製造方法の中の、薄膜化に適した成膜工程(工程A2、工程B2、工程AB2)及び薄膜を得るための塗工液の調合工程(工程A1、工程B1、工程AB1)が重要な技術ポイントとなる。
技術ポイント5は、[技術ポイント3]で述べた構造パラメータを有する炭素多孔膜を得るために、各製造方法に応じて製造パラメータ(炭素質となる溶質の種類とその分子量、溶液組成、溶液濃度、架橋触媒種・脱ハロゲン種とその濃度、乾燥条件、炭化条件等)を調整することであり、以下にその詳細を述べる。
本実施形態の炭素多孔膜を得る方法A(上述の第2の方法)は、参考文献A、米国特許US4873218号公報[以下、参考文献Bとする]、田門肇、表面、38(1)、1-9(2000)[以下、参考文献Cとする]、特表平8-508535公報[以下、参考文献Dとする]、及び、R.Saliger等、J.Non-Crystalline Solids、221、144-150(1997)[以下、参考文献Eとする]に紹介されている方法を応用する。これらの文献では、断熱材、電池やキャパシタ等に用いるメソ孔を有する炭素材料として紹介され、本実施形態の用途は全く考慮されていない。しかし、薄膜の成膜技術を追加し、膜厚の薄いヒドロゲル膜が得られるように製造パラメータを調整することで、本実施形態の用途に応用することができる。
ρ=-1.27×10-1・ln(R/Ca)+7.07・(R/Wa)+7.24×10-1 …(45)
R*2=0.92
となり、各因子の依存率は、ln(R/Ca)が36%、R/Waが64%となった。
ln(r)=2.41×10-1・ln(R/Ca)-5.23×10-1・ln(R/Wa)+5.36×10-1・ln(R/F)-9.69×10-1 …(46)
R*2=0.79
となり、各因子の依存率は、ln(R/Ca)が39%、ln(R/Wa)が37%、ln(R/F)が25%となった。なお、細孔半径rに対応するαは、式(18)に従い、rを2倍し、λで割ることで得られる。
本実施形態の炭素多孔膜を得る方法B(上述の第3の方法)は、本発明者による特許4871319号公報[以下、参考文献Gとする]、山下順也、塩谷正俊、炭素、No204、182-191(2002)[参考文献Hとする]に紹介されている方法を応用する。これらの参考文献Gや参考文献Hは、触媒担持材料、ガス吸蔵材料、ガス分離材料、電極材料等に用いるメソ孔を有する炭素材料の製造法に関するものとして紹介され、本実施形態への応用は全く考慮されていない。しかし、薄膜の成膜技術を追加し、膜厚の薄いハロゲン化ビニル樹脂膜又はハロゲン化ビニリデン樹脂膜が得られるように製造パラメータを調整することで、本実施形態の用途へ応用することができる。
ρ=2.15×10-1・([PVC])+4.64×10-2・(M×104)+5.52×10-2・(DBU/Cl)-2.87×10-1 …(47)
R*2=0.86
となり、各因子の依存率は、[PVC]が66%、Mが27%、DBU/Clが7%となった。
r=-4.31・([PVC])-1.12・(M×104)+1.83・(DBU/Cl)+2.74×101 …(48)
R*2=0.74
となり、各因子の依存率は、[PVC]が58%、Mが32%、DBU/Clが10%となった。なお、細孔半径rに対応するαは、式2に従い、rを2倍し、λで割ることで得られる。
図5に示す補足処理として、本実施形態の炭素多孔膜を得た後、炭素多孔膜の表面の片面又は両面に、EUVの高出力光源からの光による炭素多孔膜の酸化・還元を防止するために、Si、SiC、SiO2、Si3N4、Y、Mo、Ru、Rh等を本実施形態の課題の目標値を満足する範囲内で、公知のスパッタ法、真空蒸着法等の方法で、数nm被覆することができる。Siは、EUV光の消光係数が低く、屈折率が1.0に近く、更に炭素と反応し炭素膜表面に強度的に優れた数nmのSiC膜を形成することから特に好ましい。
図6は、ペリクルを示す斜視図である。図7は、図6におけるVII-VII線に沿った断面構成を示す図である。本実施形態のペリクル10は、図6に示されるように、上述した炭素多孔膜をペリクル膜1として、フレーム3に膜接着剤2を用いて接着したものである。また、ペリクルのマスクとの接着面側には、マスク粘着剤(その保護フィルムも含む)又はフレームとの接合機構4が施されている。
