Definitions
- the present invention relates to a reflective mask utilizing the phase shift effect and a reflective mask blank from which the reflective mask can be obtained.
- Etreme Ultra Violet as an exposure method alternative to the conventional exposure technique using visible light or ultraviolet light (wavelength 365 to 193 nm), “ It is called “EUV”.) Lithography is being considered.
- EUV light having a shorter wavelength than ArF excimer laser light is used as the light source used for exposure.
- the EUV light refers to light having a wavelength in the soft X-ray region or the vacuum ultraviolet region, and specifically, light having a wavelength of about 0.2 to 100 nm.
- EUV light used for EUV lithography for example, EUV light having a wavelength ⁇ of about 13.5 nm is used.
- EUV light is easily absorbed by many substances, so the refractive optics system used in conventional exposure technology cannot be used. Therefore, in EUV lithography, a reflective optical system such as a reflective mask or a mirror is used. In EUV lithography, a reflective mask is used as a transfer mask.
- a reflective layer that reflects EUV light is formed on the substrate, and an absorption layer that absorbs EUV light is formed in a pattern on the reflective layer.
- the reflective mask uses a reflective mask blank formed by laminating a reflective layer and an absorbent layer on a substrate in this order from the substrate side as a base plate, and removes a part of the absorbent layer to form a predetermined pattern. You can get it.
- EUV light incident on the reflective mask is absorbed by the absorbing layer and reflected by the reflective layer.
- the reflected EUV light is imaged on the surface of the exposure material (wafer coated with resist) by the optical system.
- the opening of the absorption layer is transferred to the surface of the exposure material.
- EUV lithography EUV light is usually incident on the reflective mask from a direction inclined by about 6 ° and is reflected obliquely as well.
- TaN, TaBN shown in Patent Document 1, and the like have been used as the material of the absorption layer. These materials are usually used under the conditions of a reflectance of 2% or less and a film thickness of 60 nm or more under EUV light. Optically, it corresponds to the condition of a binary mask, and its effect as a phase shift mask is small.
- the transmittance of the absorption layer By adjusting the transmittance of the absorption layer, it is possible to obtain a reflective mask that utilizes the phase shift effect.
- the absorbing layer transmits light slightly, and the reflected light of the absorbing layer has a phase difference with the light reflected by the opening.
- a reflective mask By using a reflective mask utilizing such a phase shift effect, the contrast of the optical image on the wafer is improved and the exposure margin is increased.
- Patent Document 2 uses TaNb as the material of the absorbing layer.
- the optimum value of the reflectance of the absorbing layer is set to 4 to 15% as a relative value with the reflectance of the opening. This value is close to the optimum value of the transmittance of the conventional ArF phase shift mask. Since the reflectance of the opening is usually about 65%, the optimum value of the reflectance of the absorption layer is 2.5 to 10% in absolute value.
- the optimum value of the phase difference of the reflective mask using the phase shift is set to 175 to 185 degrees. This range includes 180 degrees, which is the optimum value of the phase difference of the conventional ArF phase shift mask.
- FIG. 3A shows an example of the reflected light intensity distribution in the reflective mask using the phase shift effect
- FIG. 3B shows an example of the reflected light phase distribution in the reflective mask. It is a figure.
- the horizontal axes of FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) indicate the positions in the width direction of the pattern when the position of the center of the pattern having a width of 64 nm is 0 nm.
- the reflected light intensity is maximized at the center of the pattern and continuously decreases toward the end (pattern edge) in the width direction of the pattern.
- the phase of the reflected light becomes a minimum at the center of the pattern, and the phase of the reflected light continuously changes toward the pattern edge. Due to this effect, the effective phase difference shifts. Therefore, in the case of the reflective mask, the optimum value of the phase difference of the absorbing layer is different from 180 degrees.
- the optical image intensity at the time of exposure is high because the exposure time is shortened and the throughput is advantageous. Therefore, it is preferable that the peak light intensity at the time of exposure is high.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a reflective mask for EUV lithography having a large phase shift effect and a high peak light intensity at the time of exposure, and a reflective mask blank for EUV lithography from which the reflective mask can be obtained.
- the present inventor has found a condition for the thickness of an absorption layer having a large phase shift effect and a high peak light intensity at the time of exposure in a reflective mask for EUV lithography. It was.
- NILS Normalized Image Log Slope, standardized image log slope
- NILS corresponds to the contrast of the optical image on the wafer.
- NILS is maximized when the absorption layer film thickness is 72 nm, and the phase shift effect is also maximized at this time.
- FIG. 4B shows the result of simulating the absorption layer film thickness dependence of the phase difference under the same conditions as above.
- the phase difference is about 210 degrees when the film thickness is 72 nm. This is because, as described above, the optimum value of the phase difference deviates from 180 degrees due to the influence of the continuous change of the phase of the reflected light toward the pattern edge. Since NILS is maximized at a film thickness of 72 nm, the effective phase difference is considered to be close to 180 degrees.
- FIG. 4C shows the result of simulating the film thickness dependence of the reflectance of the absorbing layer under the same conditions as above.
- the reflectance is maximized when the film thickness is 72 nm.
- the condition for maximizing the phase shift effect is when the effective phase difference is about 180 degrees and at the same time the reflectance is maximized. Therefore, the maximum value of NILS and the maximum value of reflectance match.
- NILS phase difference
- reflectance vibrate as the film thickness of the absorbing layer increases.
- the reason why such a phenomenon occurs is that, as shown in FIG. 5, interference occurs between the reflected light 100 from the reflecting layer 20 and the reflected light 200 on the surface of the absorbing layer 40.
- the maximum value of the reflectance corresponds to a position where interference is strengthened, that is, when the phases of the reflected light 100 and the reflected light 200 are aligned.
- the condition that the phases of the reflected light 100 and the reflected light 200 are aligned is obtained as follows. First, considering only the optical path length difference in the absorption layer 40, the condition that the phases of the reflected light 100 and the reflected light 200 are aligned is expressed by the following equation (1), where d is the film thickness of the absorption layer 40. .. In the above equation (1), N is an integer, ⁇ is the wavelength, n is the refractive index of the absorption layer 40, and ⁇ is the angle of incidence. In the case of the reflective mask for EUV lithography, the wavelength ⁇ is 13.53 nm and the incident angle ⁇ is 6 °.
- the phase shift on each reflecting surface is considered.
- the reflected light 100 is reflected inside the reflective layer 20.
- the phase shift at this time is ⁇ 0.64 radians according to the numerical calculation.
- the phase shift is tan -1 ( ⁇ k / (1-n)).
- n is the refractive index of the absorption layer 40 at a wavelength of 13.53 nm
- k is the absorption coefficient of the absorption layer 40 at the same wavelength.
- the condition for aligning the phases of the reflected light 100 and the reflected light 200 is given by the following equation (2) in consideration of the phase shift on the reflecting surface.
- the above equation (2) is a condition in which the reflected light 100 and the reflected light 200 are in phase with each other, that is, a condition in which the reflectance has a maximum value.
- the more effective phase difference needs to be about 180 degrees.
- the phase difference of the absorption layer 40 is about 210 degrees as shown in FIG. 4 (b).
- the difference in optical path length from that in vacuum when light reciprocates in the absorption layer 40 is 2 (1-n) d.
- Equation (3) the film thickness of the absorption layer having the maximum value of NILS is approximately the following equation (3).
- Equation (4) is a condition that the film thickness of the absorption layer should be satisfied in order to maximize the phase shift effect.
- FIG. 7 (a) shows the result of calculating the film thickness dependence of NILS by simulation
- FIG. 7 (b) shows the result of obtaining the film thickness dependence of peak light intensity by simulation
- FIG. 7 (c) shows the result. The result of simulating the film thickness dependence of the phase difference is shown.
- the thickness d MAX of the absorber layer NILS which is obtained by the above becomes the maximum value.
- the exposure conditions are the same as in FIG. Thickness d MAX of the absorber layer becomes 72.3nm than (4).
- the peak light intensity at the time of exposure increases as the film thickness becomes thinner.
- NILS reaches its maximum when the film thickness of the absorption layer is d MAX , and has a peak at d MAX -6 nm.
- the light intensity at the film thickness d MAX -6 nm is 6% higher than the light intensity at the film thickness d MAX.
- the optimum value of the film thickness of the absorption layer is either d MAX or d MAX -6 nm.
- the phase difference at the film thickness d MAX is 210 degrees
- the phase difference at the film thickness d MAX -6 nm is 203 degrees, both of which are far from 180 degrees.
- the optimum value of the phase difference is 190 to 220 degrees.
- NILS at a film thickness with a phase difference of 180 degrees is off the peak, and it can be seen that the phase difference of 180 degrees is not the optimum value for the film thickness of the absorption layer.
- the film thickness varies by about + -1 nm.
- the variation in the peak wavelength of the reflected light spectrum is about + ⁇ 0.1 nm. Therefore, if the film thickness d (nm) of the absorption layer satisfies d MAX -1 nm ⁇ d ⁇ d MAX + 1 nm, or (d MAX -6 nm) -1 nm ⁇ d ⁇ (d MAX -6 nm) + 1 nm, the phase shift The effect is large and the peak light intensity during exposure is high.
- equations can be summarized as the following equation (5).
- the integer i is 0 or 1.
- the absorption layer 40 is composed of two layers, a lower absorption layer 41 and an upper absorption layer 42.
- interference occurs between the reflected light 100 from the reflecting layer 20 and the reflected light 202 on the surface of the upper absorbing layer 42. Since the reflected light 202 is reflected on the surface of the upper absorption layer 42, the phase shift is tan -1 ( ⁇ k 2 / (1-n 2 )).
- k 2 is the absorption coefficient of the upper absorption layer 42 at a wavelength of 13.53 nm
- n 2 is the refractive index of the upper absorption layer at the same wavelength.
- the condition that the phases of the reflected light 100 and the reflected light 200 are aligned is given by the following equation (6), where the film thickness of the absorbing layer 40 composed of two layers is d bi and the phase shift on the reflecting surface is taken into consideration.
- the maximum value of the film thickness d bi MAX is approximately the following equation (7).
- the film thickness d bi (nm) of the absorption layer 40 composed of two layers is d bi MAX -1 nm ⁇ d bi ⁇ d bi MAX + 1 nm, or (d bi MAX -6 nm) -1 nm ⁇ d bi ⁇ (d). If bi MAX -6 nm) + 1 nm is satisfied, the phase shift effect is large and the peak light intensity during exposure is high.

Abstract
Description
反射光100と反射光200の位相の揃う条件は、二層からなる吸収層40の膜厚をdbiとして、反射面での位相のずれを考慮して下記(6)式で与えられ、NILSが最大値となる膜厚dbi MAXは、おおよそ下記(7)式となる。
これらの式をまとめると下記式となる。
吸収層の膜厚のより現実的な管理方法として、反射光のスペクトルを使用する方法が考えられる。反射光のスペクトルは市販の装置を使用して測定可能である。図8に吸収層の膜厚がdMAXおよびdMAX-6nmの際の反射光スペクトルを示す。ピーク波長λMAXは、それぞれ13.53nm、13.63nmとなっている。吸収層の膜厚管理の基準として、反射光のピーク波長λMAXを用いることができる。
この場合、ピーク波長λMAXが(13.53-0.1)nm≦λMAX≦(13.53+0.1)nm、あるいは(13.63-0.1)nm≦λMAX≦(13.63+0.1)nmを満たしていれば、位相シフト効果が大きく、かつ露光時のピーク光強度が高くなる。
本発明の実施形態に係る反射型マスクブランクについて説明する。図1は、本発明の実施形態に係る反射型マスクブランクの一構成例の概略断面図である。図1に示すように、反射型マスクブランクは、基板10の上に、反射層20、保護層30、および吸収層40をこの順に積層して構成している。
図2は、本発明の実施形態に係る反射型マスクブランクの別の一構成例の概略断面図である。図2に示すように、反射型マスクブランクは、基板10の上に、反射層20、保護層30、下部吸収層41および上部吸収層42をこの順に積層して構成している。図2に示す反射型マスクブランクは、吸収層40が下部吸収層41と上部吸収層42の二層からなる。
基板10は、熱膨張係数が小さいことが好ましい。基板10の熱膨張係数が小さい方が、EUV光による露光時の熱により吸収層40に形成されるパターンに歪みが生じるのを抑制できる。基板10の熱膨張係数は、具体的には、20℃において、0±1.0×10-7/℃が好ましく、0±0.3×10-7/℃がより好ましい。
反射層20は、EUV光に対して高い反射率を有する。具体的には、EUV光が入射角6°で反射層の表面に入射した際、波長13.5nm付近のEUV光の反射率の最大値は、60%以上が好ましく、65%以上がより好ましい。また、反射層の上に、保護層が積層されている場合でも、同様に、波長13.5nm付近のEUV光の反射率の最大値は、60%以上が好ましく、65%以上がより好ましい。
多層反射膜を構成する各層の膜厚および周期は、使用する膜材料、反射層に要求されるEUV光の反射率またはEUV光の波長(露光波長)などにより適宜選択できる。例えば、反射層が波長13.5nm付近のEUV光の反射率の最大値を60%以上とする場合、低屈折率層(Moを含む層)と高屈折率層(Siを含む層)とを交互に30周期~60周期積層したMo/Si多層反射膜が好ましく用いられる。
保護層30は、図9に示す反射型マスクの製造時において、吸収層40(下部吸収層41、上部吸収層42)をエッチング(通常、ドライエッチング)して吸収層40に吸収体パターン60を形成する際、反射層20の表面をエッチングによるダメージから保護する。また、エッチング後の反射型マスクブランクに残っているレジストを洗浄液を用いて剥離して、反射型マスクブランクを洗浄する際に、反射層20を洗浄液から保護する。そのため、得られる反射型マスクのEUV光に対する反射率は良好となる。
保護層30を形成する材料としては、吸収層40のエッチングの際に、エッチングによる損傷を受け難い物質が選択される。この条件を満たす物質としては、例えば、Ru金属単体、Ruに、B、Si、Ti、Nb、Mo、Zr、Y、La、Co、およびReからなる群から選択される1種以上の金属を含有したRu合金、上記Ru合金に窒素を含む窒化物などのRu系材料;Cr、Al、Taおよびこれらに窒素を含む窒化物;SiO2、Si3N4、Al2O3またはこれらの混合物;などが例示される。これらの中でも、Ru金属単体およびRu合金、CrNおよびSiO2が好ましい。Ru金属単体およびRu合金は、酸素を含まないガスに対してエッチングされ難く、反射型マスクの加工時のエッチングストッパとして機能する点から、特に好ましい。
吸収層40は、EUVリソグラフィの反射型マスクに使用するためには、EUV光の吸収係数が高いこと、容易にエッチングできること、および洗浄液に対する洗浄耐性が高いことなどの特性を有することが好ましい。
本発明の反射型マスクブランクは、吸収層40上にハードマスク層を備えていてもよい。本発明におけるハードマスク層は、CrおよびSiの少なくとも一方の元素を含むことが好ましい。ハードマスク層としては、Crを含むCr系膜、またはSiを含むSi系膜など、エッチングに対して耐性の高い材料、具体的には、Cl系ガスやCF系ガスを用いたドライエッチングに対して耐性の高い材料が用いられる。Cr系膜としては、例えば、Cr、およびCrにOまたはNを加えた材料などが挙げられる。具体的には、CrO、CrN、CrONが挙げられる。Si系膜としては、Si、並びにSiにO、N、C、およびHからなる群から選択される一種以上を加えた材料などが挙げられる。具体的には、SiO2、SiON、SiN、SiO、Si、SiC、SiCO、SiCN、SiCONが挙げられる。中でも、Si系膜は、吸収層40をドライエッチングする際に側壁の後退が生じ難いため好ましい。吸収層40上にハードマスク層を形成することで、図9に示す反射型マスクの製造時において、吸収体パターン60の最小線幅が小さくなっても、ドライエッチングを実施できる。そのため、吸収体パターン60の微細化に対して有効である。
次に、図2に示す反射型マスクブランクを用いて得られる反射型マスクについて説明する。図9は、反射型マスクの構成の一例を示す概略断面図である。図9に示す反射型マスクは、図2に示す反射型マスクブランクの吸収層40(下部吸収層41、上部吸収層42)に、所望の吸収体パターン60を形成したものである。吸収体パターンは通常の加工方法、すなわち反射型マスクブランク上へのレジスト塗布、露光、現像、エッチングにより形成される。なお、図1に示す反射型マスクブランクを用いて得られる反射型マスクの場合、単層の吸収層に吸収体パターンが形成される。
成膜用の基板として、SiO2-TiO2系のガラス基板(外形が約152mm角、厚さが約6.3mm)を使用した。なお、ガラス基板の熱膨張係数は0.02×10-7/℃以下である。ガラス基板を研磨して、表面粗さを二乗平均平方根粗さRqで0.15nm以下、平坦度を100nm以下の平滑な表面に加工した。ガラス基板の裏面上には、マグネトロンスパッタリング法を用いて、厚さが約100nmのCr層を成膜し、静電チャック用の裏面導電層を形成した。Cr層のシート抵抗値は100Ω/□程度であった。
基板の裏面に導電層を成膜した後、基板の表面にイオンビームスパッタリング法を用いて、Si膜およびMo膜を交互に成膜することを40周期繰り返す。Si膜の膜厚は、約4.0nmとし、Mo膜の膜厚は、約3.0nmとする。これにより、合計の膜厚が約280nm((Si膜:4.0nm+Mo膜:3.0nm)×40)の反射層(多層反射膜)を形成した。その後、反射層の上に、イオンビームスパッタリング法を用いてRu層(膜厚が約2.5nm)を成膜して、保護層を形成した。このとき、波長13.53nmにおける反射率は64%となった。
保護層上に、吸収層としてTaNb膜を成膜した。スパッタターゲットにはTaNb(Ta:Nb=60:40)を用い、スパッタガスにはArを用いた。吸収層のスパッタ時にステージの回転を止めることにより、面内で膜厚分布を有する吸収層を得た。これにより、図1に示す反射型マスクブランクを作製した。吸収層の膜厚は、X線回折装置(株式会社リガク社製、SmartLab HTP)を用いてX線反射率法(XRR)にて測定した。
反射型マスクブランクの吸収層の厚さと反射率の関係を測定した。反射率の測定には、マスクブランク用EUV反射率計(AIXUV社製、MBR)を用いて行った。EUV光の波長は13.53nmとした。吸収層の厚さと反射率との関係を図10(a)に示す。吸収層の膜厚72nm付近で反射率3.2%のピークを持っている。この反射率は位相シフトマスクとしての条件である2.5%以上、10%以下を満たしている。
図10(a)には、実測値とともにシミュレーション結果を示している。シミュレーションでは、波長13.53nmにおける屈折率nを0.945とし、同波長における吸収係数kを0.0236とした。実測値とシミュレーション結果は良く一致していることが判る。
上記の条件では、(4)式よりdMAXは72.3nmとなる。図10(b)には膜厚がdMAXでの反射光スペクトル、図10(c)には膜厚がdMAX-6nmでの反射光スペクトルを示す。実測値とシミュレーション結果は良く一致していることが判る。位相シフトマスクの膜厚管理に反射光スペクトルを用いることができる。
吸収層として、TaNb膜の代わりにTaN膜を用いた。波長13.53nmにおける屈折率nを0.947、同波長における吸収係数kを0.031とすると、dMAXは(4)式より72.0nmとなった。このときの反射率はシミュレーションより1.2%となり、位相シフトマスクとしての条件である2.5%以上、10%以下を満たしていない。
例1,2について、投影光学系の開口数NAが0.33、σ値が0.5の露光条件でウエハ上22nmの孤立ホールパターンを露光した場合のシミュレーション結果を図11(a),(b)に示す。図11(a)にNILSの膜厚依存性をシミュレーションにより求めた結果を示し、図11(b)に光学像のピーク光強度の膜厚依存性をシミュレーションにより求めた結果を示す。図11(a),(b)では、横軸を吸収層の膜厚と、(4)式より求まるdMAXとの差としている。図11(a)に示すように、吸収層がTaNb膜の例1に比べ、吸収層がTaN膜の例2は、NILSはずっと小さくなり、位相シフト効果は小さいことが判る。図11(b)に示すように、吸収層がTaNb膜の例1に比べ、吸収層がTaN膜の例2は、露光時のピーク光強度が低いことが判る。
吸収層として、TaNb膜の代わりにRe膜を用いた。波長13.53nmにおける屈折率nを0.933、同波長における吸収係数kを0.0405とすると、dMAXは(4)式より44.8nmとなり、TaNb膜を用いた例1よりずっと薄くなる。これはn値が小さいためである。このときの反射率はシミュレーションより3.7%となり、位相シフトマスクとしての条件である2.5%以上、10%以下を満たしている。投影光学系の開口数NAが0.33、σ値が0.5の露光条件でウエハ上に22nmの孤立ホールパターンを露光した場合のシミュレーション結果を図12(a),(b)に示す。図12(a)にNILSの膜厚依存性をシミュレーションにより求めた結果を示し、図12(b)に光学像のピーク光強度の膜厚依存性をシミュレーションにより求めた結果を示す。図12(a),(b)では、横軸を吸収層の膜厚と、(4)式より求まるdMAXとの差としている。図12(a)に示すように、吸収層としてRe膜を用いた例3のNILSは、吸収層としてTaNb膜を用いた例1と同じく、吸収層膜厚がdMAX、dMAX-6nm付近でピークを持っている。
図12(b)より判るように、光学像の光強度は膜厚が薄いほど大きくなる。一方、NILSは、吸収層の膜厚がdMAXのとき最大になり、dMAX-6nmにもピークを持っている。膜厚dMAX-6nmでの光強度は、膜厚dMAXでの光強度より6%高い。NILSと光強度のバランスを考慮すると、吸収層の膜厚の最適値はdMAXあるいはdMAX-6nmのどちらかになる。
吸収層として、TaNb膜の代わりに、下部吸収層のTaNb膜、上部吸収層のTaNO膜(膜厚4nm)の二層膜(TaNO(4nm)/TaNb膜)を用いた。下部吸収層としてのTaNbの波長13.53nmにおける屈折率n1は0.945、上部吸収層としてのTaONの波長13.53nmにおける屈折率n2は0.968、同波長における吸収係数k2は0.0512とすると、dbi MAXは(6)式より71.6nmとなる。このときの反射率はシミュレーションより3.5%となり、位相シフトマスクとして十分な効果を期待できる。TaNO膜が最表面にあるため、TaNb単膜に比べ洗浄に強く、経時安定性良好になる。投影光学系の開口数NAが0.33、σ値が0.5の露光条件でウエハ上に22nmの孤立ホールパターンを露光した場合のシミュレーション結果を図12(a),(b)に示す。図12(a)に示すように、下部吸収層のTaNb膜、上部吸収層のTaNO膜(膜厚4nm)の二層膜を用いた例4のNILSは、吸収層としてTaNb膜を用いた例1と同じく、吸収層膜厚がdbi MAX、dbi MAX-6nm付近でピークを持っている。
図12(b)より判るように、光学像の光強度は膜厚が薄いほど大きくなる。一方、NILSは、吸収層の膜厚がdbi MAXのとき最大になり、dbi MAX-6nmにもピークを持っている。膜厚dbi MAX-6nmでの光強度は、膜厚dbi MAXでの光強度より6%高い。NILSと光強度のバランスを考慮すると、吸収層の膜厚の最適値はdbi MAXあるいはdbi MAX-6nmのどちらかになる。
