The accurate magnetic levitation work stage of extreme ultraviolet photolithographic
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of extreme ultraviolet photolithographic equipment, particularly the accurate magnetic levitation work stage of extreme ultraviolet photolithographic.
Background technology
The projection lithography technology is a cutting edge technology of IC lithography process, it utilizes being synchronized with the movement of mask platform and work stage, can project to the figure on the mask on the wafer that scribbles resist by the micro optical system, through technologies such as typing, developments, finally on wafer, copy figure again with reduction magnification.Scan exposure is different with disposable burn-out, and it utilizes the at the uniform velocity rectilinear scanning of conventional fillet slit image field to realize the continuous moving exposure that large chip size image field is interior, because image field is divided equally and can be reduced projection error and aberration; The continuously automatic leveling and focusing of one by one little image field can make full use of effective depth of focus of camera lens in scanning in addition, controls and has proofreaied and correct the local unevenness of wafer in the big image field better and enlarge and improved the photoetching process scope.Thereby utilizing the step-scan technology, the camera lens of little image field can carry out the photoetching of large size chip, and better image quality can be provided.
Extreme ultraviolet photolithographic (EUVL) is called as the most potential photoetching process of future generation, it utilizes the extreme ultraviolet light source of wavelength for 13.5nm, reduction projection by the multi-layer mirror formation, in vacuum environment, the mask pattern is copied on the silicon chip, the realization high resolution lithography (<70nm).Fig. 1 is the EUVL fundamental diagram.An EUVL system has comprised a light source 1, for example synchrotron radiation light source or laser plasma light source, the X ray 2 that it sends is by condenser 3, light beam 4 after the convergence shines on the mask 5, mask 5 beam reflected are after optical system 7 reflections, pass window 8 again, mask graph projects on the wafer 9 the most at last.Mask 5 is installed on the mask platform 6, and wafer 9 is installed on the work stage 10.
EUVL adopts the scan exposure mode, the image quality of its litho machine not only depends on the quality of optical system, the Kinematic Positioning and the dynamic synchronization performance that also depend on work stage and mask platform, thereby strict requirement has been proposed for running precision, speed, acceleration and Kinematic Positioning and the scan-synchronized performance of work stage, mask platform.And, because EUVL works in vacuum environment, not only require each component materials and vacuum environment to adapt, require also that Workpiece platform structure is simple, energy consumption is low, in light weight, volume is little.
Existing photoetching precision workpiece stage structure has comprised multiple design proposal: a kind of is to adopt traditional mechanical positioning mode, i.e. rigidity contact is supported and " electric rotating machine+ball-screw " type of drive location.This locator meams exists very big disadvantage, not only produces friction, wearing and tearing, metallic dust, influences the microelectronic product quality, and the mass inertia of actuator and joint gap have reduced the bearing accuracy and the response frequency of equipment.Another kind is to adopt the air supporting locator meams, though eliminated friction, the structure bulky complex, support stiffness is little, and load-bearing capacity and impact resistance reduce, and also limit the raising of bearing accuracy.
US patent2002/0074516 discloses a kind of photoetching precision workpiece stage structure, the XY mobile platform of its design, the magnetic field shielding of motor can be fallen when its characteristics are scanning motion, relatively be suitable for the occasion of the strict control of needs electromagnetic interference (EMI) such as electron beam exposure apparatus.But for EUVL, the air-float guide rail that its uses problem that leaks air easily, thereby be not suitable for the vacuum operation environment of EUVL.
Magnetic levitation technology and linear contactless Driving technique are organically combined, become a kind of new approaches of precision positioning work stage.
US Patent 2004/0080727 discloses a kind of photoetching precision workpiece stage structure, is characterized in that motor has cooling device, has improved the heat radiation of motor, and it has used 2 linear electric motors at X, Y respectively to driving, and realizes the noncontact guiding with magnetic suspended guide.Shortcoming is to use motor too many, and energy consumption is big.
In addition, wire tension changes, and acceleration and the deceleration vibratory impulse that cause work stage of motor in motion process, also is a major issue of restriction workpiece station positioning accuracy and dynamic property.
