Abstract

The invention discloses a flexible seal and self-adaption recycling device for an immersed photoetching machine. The device is placed between a projecting lens group and a silicon wafer, comprises an injected liquid recycling component and a following disk piece and is used for restraining the boundary of an immersed liquid flow field. When liquid generates impact on the following disk piece due to the high-speed motion of the silicon wafer, the following disk piece can generate a certain offset along the direction of motion, thereby relieving the pressure of the boundary of the flow field and increasing the quantity of recycling openings to accelerate recycling; conversely, when the high-speed motion of the silicon wafer leads the pressure at one side of the flow field to be reduced, the flexible seal disk piece at the side can generate a certain offset along the direction of motion to carry out pressure compensation and reduce the quantity of the recycling openings and the liquid recycling amount at the same side. The self-adaption recycling of the liquid can be realized by adaptively the contact quantity of the recycling openings and the flow field, the recycling efficiency is effectively improved, and the vibration and the noise brought by recycling are reduced.

Description

The flexible sealing and the self-adaption recycling device that are used for immersed photoetching machine
Technical field
The present invention relates to the flow field sealing in liquid immersion lithography (Immersion Lithography) system and reclaims the device of control, particularly relates to a kind of flexible sealing and self-adaption recycling device that is used for immersed photoetching machine.
Background technology
Modern lithographic equipment is based on optical lithography, and it utilizes optical system accurately projection and exposing to the silicon chip that was coated with photoresist of the figure on the mask.It comprises a LASER Light Source, an optical system, projection mask version, an alignment system and a silicon chip that scribbles photosensitive photoresist of being made up of graphics chip.
Fill certain liquid in the slit of immersion lithographic system between projecting lens and silicon chip, improve the numerical aperture (NA) of projecting lens, thereby improve the resolution and the depth of focus of photoetching by the refractive index that improves this slit medium.The at present normal scheme that adopts is that liquid is limited in the regional area between the end component of silicon chip top and projection arrangement.In stepping-scan-type lithographic equipment, silicon chip is in the scanning motion of carrying out of exposure process high speed, and this high-speed motion will promptly can cause leak of liquid to filling liquid band gap crack.The liquid that leaks will form the water mark at photoresist or Topcoat surface, have a strong impact on the exposure quality.Therefore, the sealing problem of necessary emphasis solution filling liquid in the immersion lithography.
The hermetically-sealed construction of this scheme generally adopts hermetic seal or liquid sealing member around the gap flow field between projection lens set end component and the silicon chip at present.Between the surface of described containment member and silicon chip, the hermetic seal technology is (for example referring to Chinese patent 200310120944.4, U.S. Pat 10/705816) by applying gases at high pressure, liquid is limited in certain flow field regions forming air curtain around filling the flow field periphery.Liquid sealing technology (for example referring to Chinese patent 200410055065.2, U.S. Pat 60/742885) is then utilized and the immiscible third party's liquid (normally magnetic fluid or mercury etc.) of fill fluid, seals around filling the flow field.
These sealings and liquids recovery element come with some shortcomings:
(1) existing hermetic adopts air curtain to be applied to around the fill fluid, causes the instability at edge, flow field, in stepping of substrate high speed and scanning process, may cause leak of liquid and sealing gas to entrainment in the flow field; Simultaneously, filling liquid and sealing gas will form biphase gas and liquid flow when reclaiming, and cause vibration thus, influence the exposure system steady operation.
(2) the liquid sealing mode has very harsh requirement to seal fluid, when guaranteeing that sealing property requires, also must guarantee seal fluid and dissolving mutually of filling liquid, and photoresist (or Topcoat) and not counterdiffusion mutually of filling liquid.In substrate high-speed motion process, in a single day outside air or seal fluid are involved in or dissolve or be diffused in the filling liquid, all can produce negative influence to the exposure quality.
(3) owing to adopt malleation feed flow, negative pressure to reclaim, the two pressure is difficult for coordinating, and easily causes the fluid field pressure fluctuation to make member produce vibration.
(4) under the silicon chip high-speed motion state, because the effect of molcohesion, the liquid of close silicon chip will move with silicon chip, and cause the flow field border motif to change rapidly thus; This variation is all different in the different boundary position, and the sealing means of all calming the anger that adopts can't carry out adaptive equalization in the stream field border usually.
Summary of the invention

Fig. 1 has schematically shown the liquid flexible sealing of embodiment of the present invention and the assembling of self-adaption recycling device 2 and projection lens set 1, and this device can used in substep repetition or step-scan formula lithographic equipment.In exposure process, the light (as KrF or argon fluoride excimer laser) that sends from light source (not providing the figure) is by slot field 12 between mask (not providing among the figure), the projection lens set 1 of aiming at and lens-substrate of being full of immersion liquid, and the photoresist on substrate 3 surfaces is exposed.Submergence unit upper end cover 2E, submergence unit cavity 2D, a submergence cell operation 2C, the faying face between three partial component is the plane, connected mode adopts bonding or bolted according to concrete working condition requirement.Be connected by rolling guide 4A, 4B between servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B and the submergence cell operation 2C, the type of drive of servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B according to concrete working condition requirement adopt spring or serial cylinders etc. all can, adopt gas-powered in the present embodiment.
Fig. 1, Fig. 2, shown in Figure 3, the submergence unit is made up of servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B, a submergence cell operation 2C, submergence unit cavity 2D and submergence unit upper end cover 2E four parts.Immersion liquid by fluid injection chamber 5A, 5B enters and be full of lens combination 1 and substrate 3 between gap flow field 12, the recovery holes array 6B through forming by kapillary on the way, inflow is lower than the accumulator tank 10 of recovery holes array 6B upper surface, and recovery approach 11 reclaims.Gas sprays from the first, the 3rd injecting hole array 7B, 7C by the first gas injection pressure cushion chamber 7A simultaneously, promote servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B moves to the submergence unit center along rolling guide 4A, 4B along gathering sill 9 from outside gas injection, thereby gap flow field 12 is included in two servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B, played sealing effectiveness.
Fig. 3, shown in Figure 4, gases at high pressure from the source of the gas pipeline can be through the first continuous gas injection pressure cushion chamber 7A of circumference before passing through the first, the 3rd injecting hole array 7B, 7C, the first gas injection pressure cushion chamber 7A is when suppressing the source of the gas pulsation, can balanced in a circumferential direction high pressure gas field pressure, make win, the 3rd injecting hole array 7B, 7C obtain more consistent initial injection pressure.The first, the gas that blows out of the 3rd injecting hole array 7B, 7C makes servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B be subjected to pointing to the power of submergence unit center by being 45 ° the vertical edges that act on servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B, gathering sill 9 backs with horizontal direction.Another strand suppressed the source of the gas pulsation from the gases at high pressure of source of the gas pipeline after by the second gas injection pressure cushion chamber 8A, and making the second injecting hole array 8B obtain more consistent gas injection pressure, the gas that blows out from the second injecting hole array 8B is equally also through being 45 ° gathering sill 9 with horizontal direction.The second injecting hole array 8B distribution diametrically is more than the first, the 3rd injecting hole array 7B, 7C, and gathering sill 9 all has the gathering sill of increasing quantity on the position corresponding with the second injecting hole array 8B.Prevent that liquid from flowing out from both sides because the gas that blows out is mainly used in after servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B are strutted owing to fluid field pressure is too high from the second injecting hole array 8B, so the pressure of gas injection is also relatively large.In addition, the gas that blows out in the outside gathering sill 9 can reduce the liquid of substrate 3 surface detentions.
Shown in Figure 5, liquid enters into from liquid injection hole array 5B in the lower surface and the slit between the substrate 3 of a submergence cell operation 2C, fills the bottom of full projection lens set 1 and the gap between the substrate 3, forms gap flow field 12.Gap flow field 12 constantly expands outwardly, and when the border, flow field contacted with recovery holes array 6B, liquid was constantly sucked in the submergence unit from the inboard beginning of recovery holes array 6B.Because the recovery holes quantity that contact with gap flow field 12 is fewer, for the injection rate IR of gap flow field 12 the liquid yield greater than liquid, gap flow field 12 still maintenance expands outwardly trend.The border of gap flow field 12 contacts with servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B, servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B have been given an outside power in the horizontal direction, by regulating pressure in the recycling cavity 6A to increase yield, and act on the acting force on servo-actuated disc 2A, the 2B from the first, the 3rd injecting hole array 7B, 7C blow gas by regulating, can make the flow field be in a kind of mobile equilibrium.Handle through hydrophobic because servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B are inboard, though have the slit between substrate 3 and servo-actuated disc 2A, the 2B, because the surface tension effects of liquid, under pressure is not very big situation, the border, flow field can keep certain camber line, can not leak.When substrate 3 carries out the high-velocity scanning process along direction shown in the arrow, can be with a part of liquid in the gap flow field 12 along the arrow high-speed motion, because servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B have inhibition in flow field direction of motion.If servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B maintain static, will certainly produce partial high pressure in a side so, opposite side produces local depression, and too high speed of related movement and pressure will tear the border, flow field, and it is broken, and make liquid flow out from the slit.And in the present invention,, the high-velocity scanning campaign of substrate 3 is had certain buffer action because servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B can have certain relative motion along rolling guide 4A, 4B on the direction of motion of substrate 3, make the flow field local pressure be unlikely to too high.When the high-velocity scanning campaign of silicon chip 3 finished, servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B were returned to the flow field submergence unit center again owing to the effect of gathering sill blow gas, thereby had realized the flow field sealing in the silicon chip high-velocity scanning process.
Fig. 5, shown in Figure 6, as previously mentioned, when substrate 3 in the high-velocity scanning process, a wall pressure can occur and uprise, a wall pressure step-down, the thing followed is that a side liquid increases, a side liquid reduces.Liquid increases a side and will occur leaking as not strengthening yield, and liquid reduces by a side will make this side liquid still less as not reducing yield, even sucks air.In the present invention, servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B upper surface directly contact the size of may command yield with recovery holes array 6B.Substrate 3 can make a side servo-actuated disc outwards move when direction is moved as shown, and more recovery holes contacts with gap flow field 12, the yield increase; Opposite side servo-actuated disc inwardly moves, and the recovery holes quantity that contacts with gap flow field 12 reduces, and yield has reduced.Because the upper surface of recovery holes array 6B slopes inwardly, and has carried out the hydrophobic processing, can come down in torrents to the inside during the upper end of the liquid arrival recovery holes of recovery, enter accumulator tank 10, finally flow out the submergence unit by recovery approach 11.What are relevant for liquid in the inlet pressure of recovery approach 11 and the accumulator tank, thereby the flow in the adaptive adjusting recovery approach 11 has been realized the self-adaptation under the silicon chip high-velocity scanning situation is reclaimed.This in addition structure has realized the separation of gas-liquid two-phase effectively, has reduced the vibration and the noise that duck in drink and break and bring owing to gas.
In sum, the present invention is different from the air seal control structure and the hydraulic seal control structure of existing liquid flow field in the document, and a kind of flexible sealing and self-adaptation recovery control device that is used for immersed photoetching machine is provided.By by the relative motion between servo-actuated disc 2A, 2B and the submergence unit, cushioned the influence that the instantaneous high-velocity scanning stream field of silicon chip brings effectively.Servo-actuated disc 2A, the 2B adaptive quantity that contacts that increases or reduce recovery holes and gap flow field in the high-velocity scanning process is carried out self-adaptation and is reclaimed, recovery holes array 6B upper surface slopes inwardly and makes liquid because action of gravity flows into accumulator tank 10, what are relevant for liquid in the inlet pressure of recovery approach 11 and the accumulator tank, thus the flow in the adaptive adjusting recovery approach 11.
