Related Background Art
In the typical exposure apparatus of this type, a beam emitted from a light source travels through a fly's eye lens as an optical integrator to form a secondary light source as a substantial surface illuminant consisting of a number of light sources. Beams from the secondary light source (generally, an illumination pupil distribution formed on or near an illumination pupil of the illumination optical apparatus) are limited through an aperture stop disposed near the rear focal plane of the fly's eye lens and then enter a condenser lens.
The beams condensed by the condenser lens superposedly illuminate a mask on which a predetermined pattern is formed. The light passing through the pattern of the mask is focused on a wafer through a projection optical system. In this manner, the mask pattern is projected for exposure (or transcribed) onto the wafer. The pattern formed on the mask is a highly integrated pattern, and, in order to accurately transcribe this fine pattern onto the wafer, it is indispensable to obtain a uniform illuminance distribution on the wafer.
For example, Japanese Patent No. 3246615 owned by the same Applicant of the present application discloses the following technology for realizing the illumination condition suitable for faithful transcription of the fine pattern in arbitrary directions: the secondary light source is formed in an annular shape on the rear focal plane of the fly's eye lens and the beams passing the secondary light source of the annular shape are set to be in a linearly polarized state with a direction of polarization along the circumferential direction thereof (hereinafter referred to as a “azimuthal polarization state”).
An object of the embodiment is to transform incident light in a linearly polarized state having a direction of polarization virtually along a single direction, into light in a azimuthal polarization state having a direction of polarization virtually along a circumferential direction, while suppressing the loss of light quantity.
Another object of the embodiment is to form an illumination pupil distribution of an annular shape in a azimuthal polarization state while well suppressing the loss of light quantity, using a polarization-modulating element capable of transforming incident light in a linearly polarized state having a direction of polarization virtually along a single direction, into light in a azimuthal polarization state having a direction of polarization virtually along a circumferential direction.
Another object of the embodiment is to transcribe a fine pattern under an appropriate illumination condition faithfully and with high throughput, using an illumination optical apparatus capable of forming an illumination pupil distribution of an annular shape in a azimuthal polarization state while well suppressing the loss of light quantity.
In order to achieve the above objects, a first aspect of the embodiment is to provide a polarization-modulating element for modulating a polarization state of incident light into a predetermined polarization state,
the polarization-modulating element being made of an optical material with optical activity and having a circumferentially varying thickness profile.
A second aspect of the embodiment is to provide an illumination optical apparatus comprising a light source for supplying illumination light, and the polarization-modulating element of the first aspect disposed in an optical path between the light source and a surface to be illuminated.
A third aspect of the embodiment is to provide an illumination optical apparatus for illuminating a surface to be illuminated, based on illumination light supplied from a light source,
the illumination optical apparatus satisfying the following relations:
RSPh(Ave)>70%, and RSPv(Ave)>70%,
where RSPh(Ave) is an average specific polarization rate about polarization in a first direction in a predetermined effective light source region in a light intensity distribution formed in an illumination pupil plane of the illumination optical apparatus or in a plane conjugate with the illumination pupil plane, and RSPv(Ave) is an average specific polarization rate about polarization in a second direction in the predetermined effective light source region.
The average specific polarization rates above are defined as follows:
RSPh(Ave)=Ix(Ave)/(Ix+Iy)Ave
RSPv(Ave)=Iy(Ave)/(Ix+Iy)Ave.
In the above equations, Ix(Ave) represents an average intensity of a polarization component in the first direction in a bundle of rays passing through the predetermined effective light source region and arriving at a point on an image plane, Iy(Ave) an average intensity of a polarization component in the second direction in a bundle of rays passing through the predetermined effective light source region and arriving at a point on the image plane, and (Ix+Iy)Ave an average intensity of an entire beam passing through the predetermined effective light source region. The illumination pupil plane of the illumination optical apparatus can be defined as a plane in the optical relation of Fourier transform with the surface to be illuminated and, where the illumination optical apparatus is combined with a projection optical system, it can be defined as a plane in the illumination optical apparatus optically conjugate with an aperture stop of the projection optical system. The plane conjugate with the illumination pupil plane of the illumination optical apparatus is not limited to a plane in the illumination optical apparatus, but, for example, in a case where the illumination optical apparatus is combined with a projection optical system, it may be a plane in the projection optical system, or may be a plane in a polarization measuring device for measuring a polarization state in the illumination optical apparatus (or in the projection exposure apparatus).
A fourth aspect of the embodiment is to provide an exposure apparatus comprising the illumination optical apparatus of the second aspect or the third aspect, the exposure apparatus projecting a pattern onto a photosensitive substrate through the illumination optical apparatus.
A fifth aspect of the embodiment is to provide an exposure method of projecting a pattern onto a photosensitive substrate, using the illumination optical apparatus of the second aspect or the third aspect.
A sixth aspect of the embodiment is to provide a production method of a polarization-modulating element for modulating a polarization state of incident light into a predetermined polarization state, comprising:
a step of preparing an optical material with optical activity; and
a step of providing the optical material with a circumferentially varying thickness profile.
The polarization-modulating element of the embodiment is made of the optical material with optical activity, for example, like crystalline quartz, and has the circumferentially varying thickness profile. The thickness profile herein is set, for example, so that light in a linearly polarized state having a direction of polarization virtually along a single direction is transformed into light in a azimuthal polarization state having a direction of polarization virtually along the circumferential direction. In consequence, the embodiment realizes the polarization-modulating element capable of transforming the incident light in the linearly polarized state having the direction of polarization virtually along a single direction, into light in the azimuthal polarization state having the direction of polarization virtually along the circumferential direction, while suppressing the loss of light quantity. Particularly, since the polarization-modulating element is made of the optical material with optical activity, the invention has the advantage that the polarization-modulating element is extremely easy to produce, for example, as compared with wave plates.
Therefore, since the illumination optical apparatus of the embodiment uses the polarization-modulating element capable of transforming the incident light in the linearly polarized state having the direction of polarization virtually along a single direction, into the light in the azimuthal polarization state having the direction of polarization virtually along the circumferential direction, it is able to form an illumination pupil distribution of an annular shape in the azimuthal polarization state while well suppressing the loss of light quantity. Since the exposure apparatus and exposure method of the embodiment use the illumination optical apparatus capable of forming the illumination pupil distribution of the annular shape in the azimuthal polarization state while well suppressing the loss of light quantity, they are able to transcribe a fine pattern under an appropriate illumination condition faithfully and with high throughput and, eventually, to produce good devices with high throughput.
The embodiment will be more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings, which are given by way of illustration only and are not to be considered as limiting the embodiment.
Further scope of applicability of the embodiment will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.
The light source 1 can be, for example, a KrF excimer laser light source for supplying light with the wavelength of 248 nm, an ArF excimer laser light source for supplying light with the wavelength of 193 nm, or the like. A nearly parallel beam emitted along the Z-direction from the light source 1 has a cross section of a rectangular shape elongated along the X-direction, and is incident to a beam expander 2 consisting of a pair of lenses 2a and 2b. The lenses 2a and 2b have a negative refracting power and a positive refracting power, respectively, in the plane of
The nearly parallel beam passing through the beam expander 2 as a beam shaping optical system is deflected into the Y-direction by a bending mirror 3, and then travels through a quarter wave plate 4a, a half wave plate 4b, a depolarizer (depolarizing element) 4c, and a diffractive optical element 5 for annular illumination to enter an afocal lens 6. Here the quarter wave plate 4a, half wave plate 4b, and depolarizer 4c constitute a polarization state converter 4, as described later. The afocal lens 6 is an afocal system (afocal optic) set so that the front focal position thereof approximately coincides with the position of the diffractive optical element 5 and so that the rear focal position thereof approximately coincides with the position of a predetermined plane 7 indicated by a dashed line in the drawing.
In general, a diffractive optical element is constructed by forming level differences with the pitch of approximately the wavelength of exposure light (illumination light) in a substrate and has the action of diffracting an incident beam at desired angles. Specifically, the diffractive optical element 5 for annular illumination has the following function: when a parallel beam having a rectangular cross section is incident thereto, it forms a light intensity distribution of an annular shape in its far field (or Fraunhofer diffraction region).
Therefore, the nearly parallel beam incident to the diffractive optical element 5 as a beam transforming element forms a light intensity distribution of an annular shape on the pupil plane of the afocal lens 6 and then emerges as a nearly parallel beam from the afocal lens 6. In an optical path between front lens unit 6a and rear lens unit 6b of the afocal lens 6 there is a conical axicon system 8 arranged on or near the pupil plane thereof, and the detailed configuration and action thereof will be described later. For easier description, the fundamental configuration and action will be described below, in disregard of the action of the conical axicon system 8.
The beam through the afocal lens 6 travels through a zoom lens 9 for variation of σ-value and a polarization-modulating element 10 and then enters a micro fly's eye lens (or fly's eye lens) 11 as an optical integrator. The configuration and action of the polarization-modulating element 10 will be described later. The micro fly's eye lens 11 is an optical element consisting of a number of micro lenses with a positive refracting power arranged lengthwise and breadthwise and densely. In general, a micro fly's eye lens is constructed, for example, by forming a micro lens group by etching of a plane-parallel plate.
Here each micro lens forming the micro fly's eye lens is much smaller than each lens element forming a fly's eye lens. The micro fly's eye lens is different from the fly's eye lens consisting of lens elements spaced from each other, in that a number of micro lenses (micro refracting surfaces) are integrally formed without being separated from each other. In the sense that lens elements with a positive refracting power are arranged lengthwise and breadthwise, however, the micro fly's eye lens is a wavefront splitting optical integrator of the same type as the fly's eye lens. Detailed explanation concerning the micro fly's eye lens capable of being used in the present invention is disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,913,373(B2) which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The position of the predetermined plane 7 is arranged near the front focal position of the zoom lens 9, and the entrance surface of the micro fly's eye lens 11 is arranged near the rear focal position of the zoom lens 9. In other words, the zoom lens 9 arranges the predetermined plane 7 and the entrance surface of the micro fly's eye lens 11 substantially in the relation of Fourier transform and eventually arranges the pupil plane of the afocal lens 6 and the entrance surface of the micro fly's eye lens 11 approximately optically conjugate with each other.
Accordingly, for example, an illumination field of an annular shape centered around the optical axis AX is formed on the entrance surface of the micro fly's eye lens 11, as on the pupil plane of the afocal lens 6. The entire shape of this annular illumination field similarly varies depending upon the focal length of the zoom lens 9. Each micro lens forming the micro fly's eye lens 11 has a rectangular cross section similar to a shape of an illumination field to be formed on a mask M (eventually, a shape of an exposure region to be formed on a wafer W).
The beam incident to the micro fly's eye lens 11 is two-dimensionally split by a number of micro lenses to form on or near the rear focal plane (eventually on the illumination pupil) a secondary light source having much the same light intensity distribution as the illumination field formed by the incident beam, i.e., a secondary light source consisting of a substantial surface illuminant of an annular shape centered around the optical axis AX. Beams from the secondary light source formed on or near the rear focal plane of the micro fly's eye lens 11 travel through beam splitter 12a and condenser optical system 13 to superposedly illuminate a mask blind 14.
In this manner, an illumination field of a rectangular shape according to the shape and focal length of each micro lens forming the micro fly's eye lens 11 is formed on the mask blind 14 as an illumination field stop. The internal configuration and action of polarization monitor 12 incorporating a beam splitter 12a will be described later. Beams through a rectangular aperture (light transmitting portion) of the mask blind 14 are subject to light condensing action of imaging optical system 15 and thereafter superposedly illuminate the mask M on which a predetermined pattern is formed.
Namely, the imaging optical system 15 forms an image of the rectangular aperture of the mask blind 14 on the mask M. A beam passing through the pattern of mask M travels through a projection optical system PL to form an image of the mask pattern on the wafer W being a photosensitive substrate. In this manner, the pattern of the mask M is sequentially printed in each exposure area on the wafer W through full-wafer exposure or scan exposure with two-dimensional drive control of the wafer W in the plane (XY plane) perpendicular to the optical axis AX of the projection optical system PL.
In the polarization state converter 4, the quarter wave plate 4a is arranged so that its crystallographic axis is rotatable around the optical axis AX, and it transforms incident light of elliptical polarization into light of linear polarization. The half wave plate 4b is arranged so that its crystallographic axis is rotatable around the optical axis AX, and it changes the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light incident thereto. The depolarizer 4c is composed of a wedge-shaped crystalline quartz prism and a wedge-shaped fused silica prism having complementary shapes. The crystalline quartz prism and the fused silica prism are constructed as an integral prism assembly so as to be set into and away from the illumination optical path.
Where the light source 1 is the KrF excimer laser light source or the ArF excimer laser light source, light emitted from these light sources typically has the degree of polarization of 95% or more and light of almost linear polarization is incident to the quarter wave plate 4a. However, if a right-angle prism as a back-surface reflector is interposed in the optical path between the light source 1 and the polarization state converter 4, the linearly polarized light will be changed into elliptically polarized light by virtue of total reflection in the right-angle prism unless the plane of polarization of the incident, linearly polarized light agrees with the P-polarization plane or S-polarization plane.
In the case of the polarization state converter 4, for example, even if light of elliptical polarization is incident thereto because of the total reflection in the right-angle prism, light of linear polarization transformed by the action of the quarter wave plate 4a will be incident to the half wave plate 4b. Where the crystallographic axis of the half wave plate 4b is set at an angle of 0° or 90° relative to the plane of polarization of the incident, linearly polarized light, the light of linear polarization incident to the half wave plate 4b will pass as it is, without change in the plane of polarization.
Where the crystallographic axis of the half wave plate 4b is set at an angle of 45° relative to the plane of polarization of the incident, linearly polarized light, the light of linear polarization incident to the half wave plate 4b will be transformed into light of linear polarization with change of polarization plane of 90°. Furthermore, where the crystallographic axis of the crystalline quartz prism in the depolarizer 4c is set at an angle of 45° relative to the polarization plane of the incident, linearly polarized light, the light of linear polarization incident to the crystalline quartz prism will be transformed (or depolarized) into light in an unpolarized state.
The polarization state converter 4 is arranged as follows: when the depolarizer 4c is positioned in the illumination optical path, the crystallographic axis of the crystalline quartz prism makes the angle of 45° relative to the polarization plane of the incident, linearly polarized light. Incidentally, where the crystallographic axis of the crystalline quartz prism is set at the angle of 0° or 90° relative to the polarization plane of the incident, linearly polarized light, the light of linear polarization incident to the crystalline quartz prism will pass as it is, without change of the polarization plane. Where the crystallographic axis of the half wave plate 4b is set at an angle of 22.5° relative to the polarization plane of incident, linearly polarized light, the light of linear polarization incident to the half wave plate 4b will be transformed into light in an unpolarized state including a linear polarization component directly passing without change of the polarization plane and a linear polarization component with the polarization plane rotated by 90°.
The polarization state converter 4 is arranged so that light of linear polarization is incident to the half wave plate 4b, as described above, and, for easier description hereinafter, it is assumed that light of linear polarization having the direction of polarization (direction of the electric field) along the Z-axis in
The light depolarized through the crystalline quartz prism travels through the quartz prism as a compensator for compensating the traveling direction of the light and is incident into the diffractive optical element 5 while being in the depolarized state. On the other hand, if the crystallographic axis of the half wave plate 4b is set at the angle of 45° relative to the polarization plane of the Z-directionally polarized light incident thereto, the light of Z-directional polarization incident to the half wave plate 4b will be rotated in the polarization plane by 90° and transformed into light of linear polarization having the polarization direction (direction of the electric field) along the X-direction in
In contrast, when the depolarizer 4c is set away from the illumination optical path, if the crystallographic axis of the half wave plate 4b is set at the angle of 0° or 90° relative to the polarization plane of the Z-directionally polarized light incident thereto, the light of Z-directional polarization incident to the half wave plate 4b will pass as kept as Z-directionally polarized light without change of the polarization plane, and will be incident in the Z-directionally polarized state into the diffractive optical element 5. If the crystallographic axis of the half wave plate 4b is set at the angle of 45° relative to the polarization plane of the Z-directionally polarized light incident thereto on the other hand, the light of Z-directional polarization incident to the half wave plate 4b will be transformed into light of X-directional polarization with the polarization plane rotated by 90°, and will be incident in the X-directionally polarized state into the diffractive optical element 5.
In the polarization state converter 4, as described above, the light in the depolarized state can be made incident to the diffractive optical element 5 when the depolarizer 4c is set and positioned in the illumination optical path. When the depolarizer 4c is set away from the illumination optical path and when the crystallographic axis of the half wave plate 4b is set at the angle of 0° or 90° relative to the polarization plane of the Z-directionally polarized light incident thereto, the light in the Z-directionally polarized state can be made incident to the diffractive optical element 5. Furthermore, when the depolarizer 4c is set away from the illumination optical path and when the crystallographic axis of the half wave plate 4b is set at the angle of 45° relative to the polarization plane of the Z-directionally polarized light incident thereto, the light in the X-directionally polarized state can be made incident to the diffractive optical element 5.
In other words, the polarization state converter 4 is able to switch the polarization state of the incident light into the diffractive optical element 5 (therefore, the polarization state of light to illuminate the mask M and wafer W) between the linearly polarized state and the unpolarized state through the action of the polarization state converter consisting of the quarter wave plate 4a, half wave plate 4b, and depolarizer 4c, and, in the case of the linearly polarized state, it is able to switch between mutually orthogonal polarization states (between the Z-directional polarization and the X-directional polarization).
Furthermore, when the polarization state converter 4 is so set that the half wave plate 4b and depolarizer 4c both are set away from the illumination optical path and that the crystallographic axis of the quarter wave plate 4a makes a predetermined angle relative to the incident, elliptically polarized light, light in a circularly polarized state can be made incident to the diffractive optical element 5. In general, the polarization state of incident light to the diffractive optical element 5 can also be set in a linearly polarized state having a direction of polarization along an arbitrary direction by the action of the half wave plate 4b.
Next, the conical axicon system 8 is composed of a first prism member 8a whose plane is kept toward the light source and whose refracting surface of a concave conical shape is kept toward the mask, and a second prism member 8b whose plane is kept toward the mask and whose refracting surface of a convex conical shape is kept toward the light source, in order from the light source side. The refracting surface of the concave conical shape of the first prism member 8a and the refracting surface of the convex conical shape of the second prism member 8b are formed in a complementary manner so as to be able to be brought into contact with each other. At least one of the first prism member 8a and the second prism member 8b is arranged movable along the optical axis AX, so that the spacing can be varied between the refracting surface of the concave conical shape of the first prism member 8a and the refracting surface of the convex conical shape of the second prism member 8b.
In a state in which the refracting surface of the concave conical shape of the first prism member 8a and the refracting surface of the convex conical shape of the second prism member 8b are in contact with each other, the conical axicon system 8 functions as a plane-parallel plate and has no effect on the secondary light source of the annular shape formed. However, when the refracting surface of the concave conical shape of the first prism member 8a and the refracting surface of the convex conical shape of the second prism member 8b are spaced from each other, the conical axicon system 8 functions a so-called beam expander. Therefore, the angle of the incident beam to the predetermined plane 7 varies according to change in the spacing of the conical axicon system 8.
The light taken out of the optical path by the first beam splitter 12a is incident to a second beam splitter 12b. The second beam splitter 12b has, for example, the form of a non-coated plane-parallel plate made of quartz glass as the first beam splitter 12a does, and has a function of generating reflected light in a polarization state different from the polarization state of incident light. The polarization monitor is so set that the P-polarized light for the first beam splitter 12a becomes the S-polarized light for the second beam splitter 12b and that the S-polarized light for the first beam splitter 12a becomes the P-polarized light for the second beam splitter 12b.
Light transmitted by the second beam splitter 12b is detected by first light intensity detector 12c, while light reflected by the second beam splitter 12b is detected by second light intensity detector 12d. Outputs from the first light intensity detector 12c and from the second light intensity detector 12d are supplied each to a controller (not shown). The controller drives the quarter wave plate 4a, half wave plate 4b, and depolarizer 4c constituting the polarization state converter 4, according to need.
As described above, the reflectance for the P-polarized light and the reflectance for the S-polarized light are substantially different in the first beam splitter 12a and in the second beam splitter 12b. In the polarization monitor 12, therefore, the reflected light from the first beam splitter 12a includes the S-polarization component (i.e., the S-polarization component for the first beam splitter 12a and P-polarization component for the second beam splitter 12b), for example, which is approximately 10% of the incident light to the first beam splitter 12a, and the P-polarization component (i.e., the P-polarization component for the first beam splitter 12a and S-polarization component for the second beam splitter 12b), for example, which is approximately 1% of the incident light to the first beam splitter 12a.
The reflected light from the second beam splitter 12b includes the P-polarization component (i.e., the P-polarization component for the first beam splitter 12a and S-polarization component for the second beam splitter 12b), for example, which is approximately 10%×1%=0.1% of the incident light to the first beam splitter 12a, and the S-polarization component (i.e., the S-polarization component for the first beam splitter 12a and P-polarization component for the second beam splitter 12b), for example, which is approximately 1%×10%=0.1% of the incident light to the first beam splitter 12a.
In the polarization monitor 12, as described above, the first beam splitter 12a has the function of extracting the reflected light in the polarization state different from the polarization state of the incident light out of the optical path in accordance with its reflection characteristic. As a result, though there is slight influence of variation of polarization due to the polarization characteristic of the second beam splitter 12b, it is feasible to detect the polarization state (degree of polarization) of the incident light to the first beam splitter 12a and, therefore, the polarization state of the illumination light to the mask M, based on the output from the first light intensity detector 12c (information about the intensity of transmitted light from the second beam splitter 12b, i.e., information about the intensity of light virtually in the same polarization state as that of the reflected light from the first beam splitter 12a).
The polarization monitor 12 is so set that the P-polarized light for the first beam splitter 12a becomes the S-polarized light for the second beam splitter 12b and that the S-polarized light for the first beam splitter 12a becomes the P-polarized light for the second beam splitter 12b. As a result, it is feasible to detect the light quantity (intensity) of the incident light to the first beam splitter 12a and, therefore, the light quantity of the illumination light to the mask M, with no substantial effect of the change in the polarization state of the incident light to the first beam splitter 12a, based on the output from the second light intensity detector 12d (information about the intensity of light successively reflected by the first beam splitter 12a and the second beam splitter 12b).
In this manner, it is feasible to detect the polarization state of the incident light to the first beam splitter 12a and, therefore, to determine whether the illumination light to the mask M is in the desired unpolarized state, linearly polarized state, or circularly polarized state, using the polarization monitor 12. When the controller determines that the illumination light to the mask M (eventually, to the wafer W) is not in the desired unpolarized state, linearly polarized state, or circularly polarized state, based on the detection result of the polarization monitor 12, it drives and adjusts the quarter wave plate 4a, half wave plate 4b, and depolarizer 4c constituting the polarization state converter 4 so that the state of the illumination light to the mask M can be adjusted into the desired unpolarized state, linearly polarized state, or circularly polarized state.
Quadrupole illumination can be implemented by setting a diffractive optical element for quadrupole illumination (not shown) in the illumination optical path, instead of the diffractive optical element 5 for annular illumination. The diffractive optical element for quadrupole illumination has such a function that when a parallel beam having a rectangular cross section is incident thereto, it forms a light intensity distribution of a quadrupole shape in the far field thereof. Therefore, the beam passing through the diffractive optical element for quadrupole illumination forms an illumination field of a quadrupole shape consisting of four circular illumination fields centered around the optical axis AX, for example, on the entrance surface of the micro fly's eye lens 11. As a result, the secondary light source of the same quadrupole shape as the illumination field formed on the entrance surface is also formed on or near the rear focal plane of the micro fly's eye lens 11.
In addition, ordinary circular illumination can be implemented by setting a diffractive optical element for circular illumination (not shown) in the illumination optical path, instead of the diffractive optical element 5 for annular illumination. The diffractive optical element for circular illumination has such a function that when a parallel beam having a rectangular cross section is incident thereto, it forms a light intensity distribution of a circular shape in the far field. Therefore, a beam passing through the diffractive optical element for circular illumination forms a circular illumination field centered around the optical axis AX, for example, on the entrance surface of the micro fly's eye lens 11. As a result, the secondary light source of the same circular shape as the illumination field formed on the entrance surface is also formed on or near the rear focal plane of the micro fly's eye lens 11.
Furthermore, a variety of multipole illuminations (dipole illumination, octapole illumination, etc.) can be implemented by setting other diffractive optical elements for multipole illuminations (not shown), instead of the diffractive optical element 5 for annular illumination. Likewise, modified illuminations in various forms can be implemented by setting diffractive optical elements with appropriate characteristics (not shown) in the illumination optical path, instead of the diffractive optical element 5 for annular illumination.
With reference to
Specifically, the thickness of the first elementary elements 10A is the largest, the thickness of the fourth elementary elements 10D is the smallest, and the thickness of the second elementary elements 10B is set larger than the thickness of the third elementary elements 10C. As a result, one surface (e.g., the entrance surface) of the polarization-modulating element 10 is planar, while the other surface (e.g., the exit surface) is uneven because of the differences among the thicknesses of the elementary elements 10A-10D. It is also possible to form the both surfaces (the entrance surface and exit surface) of the polarization-modulating element 10 in an uneven shape.
In the present embodiment, each elementary element 10A-10D is made of crystalline quartz as a crystalline material being an optical material with optical activity, and the crystallographic axis of each elementary element 10A-10D is set to be approximately coincident with the optical axis AX, i.e., with the traveling direction of incident light. The optical activity of crystalline quartz will be briefly described below with reference to
At this time, the rotation angle (angle of optical rotation) θ of the polarization direction due to the optical activity of the optical member 100 is represented by Eq (a) below, using the thickness d of the optical member 100 and the rotatory power ρ of crystalline quartz.
θ=d·ρ (a)
In general, the rotatory power ρ of crystalline quartz has wavelength dependence (a property that the value of the optical rotatory power differs depending upon the wavelength of light used: optical rotatory dispersion) and, specifically, it tends to increase with decrease in the wavelength of light used. According to the description on page 167 in “Applied Optics II,” the rotatory power ρ of crystalline quartz for light having the wavelength of 250.3 nm is 153.9°/mm.
In the present embodiment, the first elementary elements 10A are designed in such a thickness dA that when linearly polarized light having the polarization direction along the Z-direction is incident thereto, they output light of linear polarization having the polarization direction along a direction resulting from +180° rotation of the Z-direction around the Y-axis, i.e., along the Z-direction. In this case, therefore, the polarization direction of beams passing through a pair of arc (bow shape) regions 31A formed by beams subject to the optical rotating action of a pair of first elementary elements 10A, in the secondary light source 31 of the annular shape shown in
The second elementary elements 10B are designed in such a thickness dB that when linearly polarized light having the polarization direction along the Z-direction is incident thereto, they output light of linear polarization having the polarization direction along a direction resulting from +135° rotation of the Z-direction around the Y-axis, i.e., along a direction resulting from −45° rotation of the Z-direction around the Y-axis. In this case, therefore, the polarization direction of beams passing through a pair of arc (bow shape) regions 31B formed by beams subject to the optical rotating action of a pair of second elementary elements 10B, in the secondary light source 31 of the annular shape shown in
The third elementary elements 10C are designed in such a thickness dC that when linearly polarized light having the polarization direction along the Z-direction is incident thereto, they output light of linear polarization having the polarization direction along a direction resulting from +90° rotation of the Z-direction around the Y-axis, i.e., along the X-direction. In this case, therefore, the polarization direction of beams passing through a pair of arc (bow shape) regions 31C formed by beams subject to the optical rotating action of a pair of third elementary elements 10C, in the secondary light source 31 of the annular shape shown in
The fourth elementary elements 10D are designed in such a thickness dD that when linearly polarized light having the polarization direction along the Z-direction is incident thereto, they output light of linear polarization having the polarization direction along a direction resulting from +45° rotation of the Z-direction around the Y-axis. In this case, therefore, the polarization direction of beams passing through a pair of arc (bow shape) regions 31D formed by beams subject to the optical rotating action of a pair of fourth elementary elements 10D, in the secondary light source 31 of the annular shape shown in
The polarization-modulating element 10 can be constructed by combining the eight elementary elements prepared separately, or the polarization-modulating element 10 can also be constructed by forming the required uneven shape (level differences) in a crystalline quartz substrate of a plane-parallel plate shape. For allowing the ordinary circular illumination with the polarization-modulating element 10 being kept in the optical path, the polarization-modulating element 10 is provided with a central region 10E of a circular shape in the size not less than 3/10, preferably, not less than ⅓ of the radial size of the effective region of the polarization-modulating element 10 and without optical activity. The central region 10E may be made of an optical material without optical activity, for example, like quartz, or may be simply a circular aperture. It is, however, noted that the central region 10E is not an essential element for the polarization-modulating element 10. The size of the central region 10E determines the boundary between the region in the azimuthal polarization state and the other region.
In the present embodiment, on the occasion of the circumferentially polarized annular illumination (modified illumination in which beams passing through the secondary light source of the annular shape are set in the azimuthal polarization state), the linearly polarized light having the polarization direction along the Z-direction is made incident to the polarization-modulating element 10. As a result, as shown in
In this manner, the present embodiment, different from the conventional technology giving rise to the large loss of light quantity at the aperture stop, is able to form the secondary light source 31 of the annular shape in the azimuthal polarization state, with no substantial loss of light quantity, through the optical rotating action of the polarization-modulating element 10. In other words, the illumination optical apparatus of the present embodiment is able to form the illumination pupil distribution of the annular shape in the azimuthal polarization state while well suppressing the loss of light quantity. Furthermore, since the present embodiment uses the polarizing action of the optical elements, it has the excellent effect that the polarization-modulating element itself is extremely easy to produce and, typically, the thickness tolerance of each elementary element can be set to be extremely loose.
In the circumferentially polarized annular illumination based on the illumination pupil distribution of the annular shape in the azimuthal polarization state, the light illuminating the wafer W as a last surface to be illuminated is in a polarized state in which the principal component is S-polarized light. Here the S-polarized light is linearly polarized light having the polarization direction along a direction normal to the plane of incidence (i.e., polarized light with the electric vector oscillating in the direction normal to the plane of incidence). The plane of incidence is defined as follows: when light arrives at a boundary surface of a medium (surface to be illuminated: surface of wafer W), the plane of incidence is a plane including a normal to the boundary surface at that point and the direction of incidence of light.
Consequently, the circumferentially polarized annular illumination realizes an improvement in the optical performance (depth of focus and the like) of the projection optical system and enables formation of a mask pattern image with high contrast on the wafer (photosensitive substrate). Namely, since the exposure apparatus of the present embodiment uses the illumination optical apparatus capable of forming the illumination pupil distribution of the annular shape in the azimuthal polarization state while well suppressing the loss of light quantity, it is able to transcribe a fine pattern under an appropriate illumination condition faithfully and with high throughput.
Incidentally, the present embodiment enables radially polarized annular illumination (modified illumination in which beams passing through the secondary light source of the annular shape are set in a radially polarized state) by injecting linearly polarized light having the polarization direction along the X-direction into the polarization-modulating element 10 and thereby setting the beams passing through the secondary light source 32 of the annular shape in the radially polarized state as shown in
In the radially polarized annular illumination based on the illumination pupil distribution of the annular shape in the radially polarized state, the light illuminating the wafer W as a last surface to be illuminated is in a polarized state in which the principal component is P-polarized light. The P-polarized light herein is linearly polarized light having the polarization direction along a direction parallel to the plane of incidence defined as described above (i.e., polarized light with the electric vector oscillating in the direction parallel to the plane of incidence). In consequence, the radially polarized annular illumination enables formation of a good mask pattern image on the wafer (photosensitive substrate) while keeping the reflectance of light low on the resist applied onto the wafer W.
The above-described embodiment realizes the circumferentially polarized annular illumination and the radially polarized annular illumination by switching the beam incident to the polarization-modulating element 10 between the linearly polarized state having the polarization direction along the Z-direction and the linearly polarized state having the polarization direction along the X-direction. However, without having to be limited to this, it is also possible to realize the circumferentially polarized annular illumination and the radially polarized annular illumination, for example, by switching the polarization-modulating element 10 between a first state shown in
In the foregoing embodiment the polarization-modulating element 10 is located immediately before the micro fly's eye lens 11. However, without having to be limited to this, the polarization-modulating element 10 can also be located generally on or near the pupil of the illumination optical apparatus (1 to PL), e.g., on or near the pupil of the projection optical system PL, on or near the pupil of the imaging optical system 15, or immediately before the conical axicon system 8 (on or near the pupil of afocal lens 6).
However, where the polarization-modulating element 10 is located in the projection optical system PL or in the imaging optical system 15, the required effective diameter (clear aperture diameter) of the polarization-modulating element 10 is prone to become large, and it is rather undesirable in view of the current circumstances in which it is difficult to obtain a large crystalline quartz substrate with high quality. When the polarization-modulating element 10 is located immediately before the conical axicon system 8, the required effective diameter (clear aperture diameter) of the polarization-modulating element 10 can be kept small. However, the distance is long to the wafer W being the last surface to be illuminated, and an element to change the polarization state like an antireflection coat on a lens or a reflecting film on a mirror is likely to be interposed in the optical path to the wafer. Therefore, this arrangement is not so preferable. In passing, the antireflection coat on the lens or the reflecting film on the mirror is likely to cause the difference of reflectance depending upon the polarization states (P-polarization and S-polarization) and angles of incidence and, in turn, to change the polarization state of light.
In the foregoing embodiment, at least one surface of the polarization-modulating element 10 (e.g., the exit surface) is formed in the uneven shape and, therefore, the polarization-modulating element 10 has a thickness profile discretely (discontinuously) varying in the circumferential direction. However, without having to be limited to this, at least one surface of the polarization-modulating element 10 (e.g., the exit surface) can also be formed in such a curved shape that the polarization-modulating element 10 has a thickness profile virtually discontinuously varying in the circumferential direction.
In the foregoing embodiment the polarization-modulating element 10 is composed of the eight elementary elements of the sector shape corresponding to the division of the effective region of the annular shape into eight segments. However, without having to be limited to this, the polarization-modulating element 10 can also be composed, for example, of eight elementary elements of a sector shape corresponding to division of the effective region of a circular shape into eight segments, or of four elementary elements of a sector shape corresponding to division of the effective region of a circular shape or annular shape into four segments, or of sixteen elementary elements of a sector shape corresponding to division of the effective region of a circular shape or annular shape into sixteen segments. Namely, a variety of modification examples can be contemplated as to the shape of the effective region of the polarization-modulating element 10, the number of segments in the division of the effective region (the number of elementary elements), and so on.
In the foregoing embodiment each elementary element 10A-10D (therefore, the polarization-modulating element 10) is made of crystalline quartz. However, without having to be limited to this, each elementary element can also be made of another appropriate optical material with optical activity. In this case, it is preferable to use an optical material with an optical rotatory power of not less than 100°/mm for light of a wavelength used. Namely, use of an optical material with a small optical rotatory power is undesirable because the thickness necessary for obtaining the required rotation angle of the polarization direction becomes too large, so as to cause a loss of light quantity.
In the foregoing embodiment the polarization-modulating element 10 is fixedly provided in the illumination optical path, but the polarization-modulating element 10 may be arranged to be set into and away from the illumination optical path. The above embodiment showed the example as a combination of the annular illumination with the S-polarized light for the wafer W, but it is also possible to combine the S-polarized light for the wafer W with multipole illumination, such as dipole or quadrupole illumination, and with circular illumination. In the foregoing embodiment the illumination conditions for the mask M and the imaging conditions (numerical aperture, aberrations, etc.) for the wafer W can be automatically set, for example, according to the type of the pattern on the mask M or the like.

The elementary elements 10C are members having the same function as the third elementary elements 10C shown in
Referring again to
The above described only the examples wherein the central region 10E made of the circular opening or the material without optical activity, or the depolarizing member 104c was provided in the central region of the polarization-modulating elements 10a-10e mounted on the turret 10T, but it is also possible to mount polarization-modulating elements without central region 10E nor depolarizing member 104c (i.e., polarization-modulating elements consisting of elementary elements of a sector shape).
The foregoing embodiment and modification example showed the polarization-modulating elements fixed around the optical axis thereof, but the polarization-modulating element may be arranged rotatable around the optical axis.
In
The elementary elements 10A are members having the same function as the first elementary elements 10A shown in
This-polarization-modulating element 10f is arranged to be rotatable around the optical axis AX and, for example, is rotatable by +45° or −45° around the optical axis AX.
In the azimuthal polarization state, beams passing through the respective four circular regions 37A, 37C constituting the secondary light source 37 of the quadrupole shape are in the linearly polarized state having the polarization direction along a circumferential direction of a circle connecting these four circular regions 37A, 37C, i.e., with a tangential direction to the circle connecting these four circular regions 37A, 37C.
In
In the azimuthal polarization state shown in
Through the changing operation of the polarization direction by the polarization state converter 4 and the rotation operation of the polarization-modulating element 10f, as described above, the azimuthal polarization state can be realized by the secondary light source of the quadrupole shape localized in the +45° (−135°) direction and in the −45° (+135°) direction, by the secondary light source of the quadrupole shape localized in the 0° (+180°) direction and in the 90° (270°) direction or in the vertical and horizontal directions, or by the secondary light source of the dipole shape localized in the 0° (+180°) direction or in the 90° (270°) direction, i.e., in the vertical or horizontal direction.
The polarization-modulating element composed of the eight elementary elements of the sector shape as equally divided in the circumferential direction around the optical axis AX may be arranged rotatable around the optical axis AX. For example, when the polarization-modulating element composed of the eight divisional elementary elements (e.g., the polarization-modulating element 10a) is rotated by +45° around the optical axis AX, as shown in
In a case, as shown in
Therefore, in a case where the polarization-modulating element having the central region 10E (or depolarizing member 104c) is located nearer the light source than the optical system with the zoom action (zoom lens 9) as in the modification example shown in
In a case where the polarization-modulating element having the central region 10E (or depolarizing member 104c) is located nearer the light source than the optical system with the action of changing the annular ratio (the conical axicon system 8) as in the modification example shown in
(10in+ΔA)/10out<0.75 (1)
0.4<(10in+ΔA)/10out (2)
The above conditions follow the following notation:
10in: effective radius of central region 10E of polarization-modulating element 10,
10out: outside effective radius of polarization-modulating element 10, and
ΔA: increase of the inside radius of the beam having passed through the optical system with the action of changing the annular ratio.
If Condition (1) is not met, the width of the region of the annular shape transformed into the azimuthal polarization state by the polarization-modulating element 10 will become too small to achieve the circumferentially polarized illumination based on the secondary light source of the annular shape or multipole shape at a small annular ratio; thus it is undesirable. If Condition (2) is not met, the diameter of the beam passing through the central region of the polarization-modulating element 10 will become too small to achieve small-σ illumination without change in the polarization state, for example, unless the polarization-modulating element 10 is set off the illumination optical path; thus it is undesirable.
As shown in
In the above-described embodiments, if an optical system (the illumination optical system or the projection optical system) nearer the wafer W than the polarization-modulating element 10 has-polarization aberration (retardation), the polarization direction can vary by virtue of this-polarization aberration. In this case, the direction of the plane of polarization rotated by the polarization-modulating element 10 can be set in consideration of the influence of the polarization aberration of these optical systems. In a case where a reflecting member is located in the optical path on the wafer W side with respect to the polarization-modulating element 10, a phase difference can occur between polarization directions of light reflected by this reflecting member. In this case, the direction of the plane of polarization rotated by the polarization-modulating element 10 can be set in consideration of the phase difference of the beam caused by the polarization characteristic of the reflecting surface.
An embodiment of a technique of evaluating the polarization state will be described below. In the present embodiment, the polarization state of the beam arriving at the wafer W as a photosensitive substrate is detected using a wafer surface polarization monitor 90 which can be attached to a side of a wafer stage (substrate stage) holding the wafer W as a photosensitive substrate. The wafer surface polarization monitor 90 may be provided in the wafer stage or in a measurement stage separate from the wafer stage.
The quarter wave plate 95 is arranged rotatable around the optical axis and a setting member 98 for setting the angle of rotation around the optical axis is connected to this quarter wave plate 95. In this configuration, when the degree of polarization of the illumination light on the wafer W is not 0, the light intensity distribution on the detection surface 97a of two-dimensional CCD 97 varies with rotation of the quarter wave plate 95 around the optical axis through the setting member 98. Therefore, the wafer surface polarization monitor 90 is able to detect the change in the light intensity distribution on the detection surface 97a with rotation of the quarter wave plate 95 around the optical axis by means of the setting member 98 and thereby to measure the polarization state of the illumination light from the detection result by the rotating compensator method.
The rotating compensator method is detailed, for example, in Tsuruta, “Pencil of Light-Applied Optics for optical engineers,”K.K. Shingijutsu Communications. In practice, the polarization state of the illumination light is measured at a plurality of positions on the wafer surface while the pinhole member 90 (therefore, pinhole 90a) is two-dimensionally moved along the wafer surface. At this time, the wafer surface polarization monitor 90 detects a change of the light intensity distribution on the two-dimensional detection surface 97a, whereby it can measure a distribution of polarization states of the illumination light in the pupil on the basis of the detected distribution information.
The wafer surface polarization monitor 90 can also be configured using a half wave plate instead of the quarter wave plate 95 as a phase shifter. With use of any kind of phase shifter, in order to measure the polarization state, i.e., the four Stokes parameters, it is necessary to detect the change of the light intensity distribution on the detection surface 97a in at least four different states, by changing the relative angle around the optical axis between the phase shifter and the polarizer (polarization beam splitter 96) or by moving the phase shifter or the polarizer away from the optical path. The present embodiment is configured to rotate the quarter wave plate 95 as a phase shifter around the optical axis, but the polarization beam splitter 96 as a polarizer may be rotated around the optical axis, or both of the phase shifter and the polarizer may be rotated around the optical axis. Instead of this operation, or in addition to this operation, one or both of the quarter wave plate 95 as a phase shifter and the polarization beam splitter 96 as a polarizer may be moved into and away from the optical path.
In the wafer surface polarization monitor 90, the polarization state of light can vary depending upon the polarization characteristic of the reflector 93. In this case, since the polarization characteristic of the reflector 93 is preliminarily known, the polarization state of the illumination light can be accurately measured by compensating the measurement result of the wafer surface polarization monitor 90 on the basis of the influence of the polarization characteristic of reflector 93 on the polarization state by some calculation. In other cases where the polarization state varies due to another optical component such as a lens, as well as the reflector, the polarization state of the illumination light can also be accurately measured by compensating the measurement result in the same manner.
The evaluation for the distribution of polarization states of illumination light in the pupil will be specifically described below. A degree of specific polarization DSP is first calculated for each of rays passing a point (or a microscopic area) on the pupil and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane. The XYZ coordinate system used in
This degree of specific polarization DSP is represented by the following equation:
DSP=(Ix−Iy)/(Ix+Iy), (3)
where Ix is the intensity of the component of X-directional polarization (polarization with the direction of oscillation along the X-direction on the pupil) in a specific ray passing a point (or microscopic area) on the pupil and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane, and Iy the intensity of the component of Y-directional polarization (polarization with the direction of oscillation along the Y-direction on the pupil) in the specific ray. This degree of specific polarization DSP is synonymous with horizontal linear polarization intensity minus vertical linear polarization intensity S1 over total intensity S0, (S1/S0).
We can also define a right polarization rate RSPh for horizontal polarization (polarization to become S-polarization for diffracted light by a mask pattern horizontally extending in the pattern surface), and a right polarization rate RSPv for vertical polarization (polarization to become S-polarization for diffracted light by a mask pattern vertically extending in the pattern surface) according to Eqs (4) and (5) below from the intensity Ix of the component of X-directional polarization (polarization with the direction of oscillation along the X-direction on the pupil) in the specific ray passing a point (or microscopic area) on the pupil and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane and the intensity Iy of the component of Y-directional polarization (polarization with the direction of oscillation along the Y-direction on the pupil) in the specific ray.
RSPh=Ix/(Ix+Iy) (4)
RSPv=Iy/(Ix+Iy) (5)
RSPh and RSPv both are 50% in ideal unpolarized illumination, RSPh is 100% in ideal horizontal polarization, and RSPv is 100% in ideal vertical polarization.
When a polarization degree V is defined by Eqs (6)-(9) below for each of rays passing a point (or microscopic area) on the pupil and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane, an average polarization degree V(Ave) can be defined as Eq (10) below for a bundle of rays passing a predetermined effective light source region and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane.
In the above equations, S0 represents the total intensity, S1 horizontal linear polarization intensity minus vertical linear polarization intensity, S2 45° linear polarization intensity minus 135° linear polarization intensity, and S3 right-handed circular polarization intensity minus left-handed circular polarization intensity.
V(Ave)=Σ[S0(xi,yi)·V(xi,yi)]/ΣS0(xi,yi) (10)
In Eq (10), S0(xi,yi) represents the total intensity S0 for rays passing a point (or microscopic area) on a predetermined effective light source region (xi,yi) and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane, and V(xi,yi) the polarization degree of a ray passing a point (or microscopic area) on the predetermined effective light source region (xi,yi) and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane.
In addition, we can define an average specific polarization rate RSPh(Ave) about horizontal polarization by Eq (11) below and an average specific polarization rate RSPh(Ave) about vertical polarization by Eq (12), for a bundle of rays passing the predetermined effective light source region and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane.
Ix(Ave) represents an average intensity of the component of X-directional polarization (polarization with the direction of oscillation along the X-direction on the pupil) in a bundle of rays passing the predetermined effective light source region (xi,yi) and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane, Iy(Ave) an average intensity of the component of Y-directional polarization (polarization with the direction of oscillation along the Y-direction on the pupil) in the bundle of rays passing the predetermined effective light source region (xi,yi) and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane, RSPh(xi,yi) a right polarization rate for horizontal polarization of a ray passing a point (or microscopic area) on the predetermined effective light source region (xi,yi) and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane, and RSPv(xi,yi) a right polarization rate for vertical polarization of a ray passing a point (or microscopic area) on the predetermined effective light source region (xi,yi) and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane. In addition, (Ix+Iy)Ave is an average intensity of an entire beam passing the predetermined effective light source region.
Here, RSPh(xi,yi) and RSPv(xi,yi) both are 50% in ideal unpolarized illumination, RSPh(xi,yi) is 100% in ideal horizontal polarization, and RSPv(xi,yi) is 100% in ideal vertical polarization.
Then we can define an average specific polarization degree DSP(AVE) as Eq (13) below, for a bundle of rays passing the predetermined effective light source region (xi,yi) and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane.
Here, (Ix−Iy)Ave represents an average of differences between intensities of the X-directional polarization component in a bundle of rays passing the predetermined effective light source region (xi,yi) and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane and intensities of the Y-directional polarization component in the bundle of rays passing the predetermined effective light source region (xi,yi) and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane, Ix(xi,yi) the intensity of the X-directional polarization component in a ray passing a point (or microscopic area) on the predetermined effective light source region (xi,yi) and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane, Iy(xi,yi) the intensity of the Y-directional polarization component in a ray passing a point (or microscopic area) on the predetermined effective light source region (xi,yi) and arriving at a point (microscopic area) on the image plane, and S1′(Ave) an average of the S1′ component in the predetermined effective light source region (xi,yi).
In Eq (13), DSP(Ave) becomes 0 in ideal unpolarized illumination, DSP(Ave) becomes 1 in ideal horizontal polarization, and DSP(Ave) becomes −1 in ideal vertical polarization.
In the illumination optical apparatus of the present embodiment and, therefore, in the exposure apparatus, it can be assumed that the interior of the predetermined effective light source region is linear polarized light if the average specific polarization rates RSPh(Ave), RSPv(Ave) in the predetermined effective light source region satisfy the following relations:
RSPh(Ave)>70%, and RSPv(Ave)>70%.
Where the average specific polarization rates RSPh(Ave), RSPv(Ave) fail to satisfy the above conditions, the desired linear polarization state with the plane of polarization in the predetermined direction is not realized in the circumferentially polarized annular illumination, the circumferentially polarized quadrupole illumination, the circumferentially polarized dipole illumination, and so on, and it is thus infeasible to achieve an improvement in the imaging performance for a pattern with a thin line width having a specific pitch direction.
For example, in a case where the quartered, circumferentially polarized annular illumination is implemented by use of the quartered polarization-modulating element 10f shown in
The exposure apparatus according to the foregoing embodiment is able to produce microdevices (semiconductor elements, image pickup elements, liquid crystal display elements, thin-film magnetic heads, etc.) by illuminating a mask (reticle) by the illumination optical apparatus (illumination step) and projecting a pattern for transcription formed on the mask, onto a photosensitive substrate by use of the projection optical system (exposure step). The following will describe an example of a procedure of producing semiconductor devices as microdevices by forming a predetermined circuit pattern on a wafer or the like as a photosensitive substrate by means of the exposure apparatus of the foregoing embodiment, with reference to the flowchart of
The first step 301 in
The exposure apparatus of the foregoing embodiment can also be applied to production of a liquid crystal display element as a microdevice in such a manner that predetermined patterns (a circuit pattern, an electrode pattern, etc.) are formed on a plate (glass substrate). An example of a procedure of this production will be described below with reference to the flowchart of
The next color filter forming step 402 is to form a color filter in which a number of sets of three dots corresponding to R (Red), G (Green), and B (Blue) are arrayed in a matrix, or in which a plurality of sets of filters of three stripes of R, G and B are arrayed in the direction of horizontal scan lines. After the color filter forming step 402, cell assembly step 403 is carried out. The cell assembly step 403 is to assemble a liquid crystal panel (liquid crystal cell), using the substrate with the predetermined patterns obtained in the pattern forming step 401, the color filter obtained in the color filter forming step 402, and so on.
In the cell assembly step 403, for example, a liquid crystal is poured into the space between the substrate with the predetermined patterns obtained in the pattern forming step 401 and the color filter obtained in the color filter forming step 402 to produce the liquid crystal panel (liquid crystal cell). Thereafter, module assembly step 404 is carried out to attach such components as an electric circuit, a backlight, and so on for implementing the display operation of the assembled liquid crystal panel (liquid crystal cell), to complete the liquid crystal display element. The production method of the liquid crystal display element described above permits us to produce the liquid crystal display elements with extremely fine circuit patterns at high throughput.
The foregoing embodiment is arranged to use the KrF excimer laser light (wavelength: 248 nm) or the ArF excimer laser light (wavelength: 193 nm) as the exposure light, but, without having to be limited to this, the present invention can also be applied to other appropriate laser light sources, e.g., an F2 laser light source for supplying laser light of the wavelength of 157 nm. Furthermore, the foregoing embodiment described the present invention, using the exposure apparatus with the illumination optical apparatus as an example, but it is apparent that the present invention can be applied to ordinary illumination optical apparatus for illuminating the surface to be illuminated, except for the mask and wafer.
In the foregoing embodiment, it is also possible to apply the so-called liquid immersion method, which is a technique of filling a medium (typically, a liquid) with a refractive index larger than 1.1 in the optical path between the projection optical system and the photosensitive substrate. In this case, the technique of filling the liquid in the optical path between the projection optical system and the photosensitive substrate can be selected from the technique of locally filling the liquid as disclosed in PCT International Publication No. WO99/49504, the technique of moving a stage holding a substrate as an exposure target in a liquid bath as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-124873, the technique of forming a liquid bath in a predetermined depth on a stage and holding the substrate therein as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-303114, and so on.
The liquid is preferably one that is transparent to the exposure light, that has the refractive index as high as possible, and that is stable against the projection optical system and the photoresist applied to the surface of the substrate; for example, where the exposure light is the KrF excimer laser light or the ArF excimer laser light, pure water or deionized water can be used as the liquid. Where the F2 laser light is used as the exposure light, the liquid can be a fluorinated liquid capable of transmitting the F2 laser light, e.g., fluorinated oil or perfluoropolyether (PFPE).
From the invention thus described, it will be obvious that the invention may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended for inclusion within the scope of the following claims.
