Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of computing method of double absorption layer alternating phase-shift contact hole mask diffractional field, belong to photoetching resolution and strengthen technical field.
Background technology
The develop rapidly of semiconductor industry, mainly has benefited from the progress of the Micrometer-Nanometer Processing Technology of microelectric technique, and photoetching technique is one of manufacturing technology of most critical in chip preparation.Due to constantly bringing forth new ideas of optical lithography techniques, it breaks through the optical exposure limit that people expect again and again, makes it to become the mainstream technology when prior exposure.
Etching system is mainly divided into: illuminator (light source), mask, optical projection system and wafer four parts.Light incides diffraction occurs on mask, and diffraction light enters after optical projection system interference imaging on wafer, then through development and etch processes after, just figure is transferred on wafer.
Complicated structure on mask, according to the periodicity in all directions, mask can be divided into one dimension, X-Y scheme.One dimension figure only has periodically in one direction, and fairly simple, common lines/space (Line/Space) structure is exactly one dimension figure.X-Y scheme all has periodically on both direction, is some more complicated geometric figures, more approaching with practical devices structure.Contact hole (Contact Hole), L figure, splicing figure and H figure are all two-dimensional structures.In addition, can be divided into again intensive figure, half intensive figure and isolation pattern three classes according to pattern density.
The Physical Mechanism occurring in order to understand better said process, need to set up model, and the propagation therein of analog simulation light.And lithography simulation has become development, has optimized the important tool of photoetching process.Here we introduce the computing method of mask diffraction.
Analog simulation mask diffraction mainly contains two kinds of methods: kirchhoff method (Kirchhoff approach) and strict electromagnetic method (Rgorous electromagnetic field).Kirchhoff method is by mask as unlimited thin, and the amplitude, the phase place that see through electric field are directly determined by mask layout (mask layout).For example, in binary mask (binary masks, BIM), the light intensity of transmission region is 1, and phase place is 0, and light tight region light intensity is 0.For example, in alternating phase-shift mask (alternating phase shift masks, Alt.PSM), it is 1 that the etched area of transmission region sees through light intensity, phase place is π, the non-etched area of transmission region see through light intensity be 1, phase place is 0, light tight region see through light intensity be all 0.The principal feature of Kirchhoff method is that intensity, the phase place of mask zones of different changes very steep.
When mask feature size is much larger than wavelength and thickness much smaller than wavelength time, polarisation of light characteristic is not obvious, and now Kirchhoff is approximate is very accurate.While developing into 45nm along with photoetching technique, the characteristic dimension of mask approaches optical source wavelength (ArF), and mask thickness also reaches wavelength magnitude, add and adopt large-numerical aperture (Numerical Aperture, NA) liquid immersion lithography, polarisation of light effect is fairly obvious, must adopt strict electromagnetic field model to simulate the diffraction of mask.
Strict electromagnetic field model has been considered 3D (Three Dimensional) effect of mask and the impact of material completely.The numerical method adopting mainly comprises: Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method (finite-difference time domain method, FDTD), rigorous coupled wave method (rigorous coupled wave analysis,
), waveguide method (the waveguide method,
) and finite element method (finite element methods, FEM).In FDTD, Maxwell (Maxwell) equation is carried out to discretize in space, on the time, the equation of these discretizes carries out integration to the time and has just obtained mask diffractional field, the size of step-length when the precision of solution depends on discretize.
and
be mask electromagnetic field, specific inductive capacity to be carried out to Fourier Fourier series expansion obtain eigenvalue equation, then obtain the solution of problem by solving eigenvalue equation, the precision of solution depends on exponent number when Fourier launches.FEM more complicated, understanding is got up also very difficult, not all the fashion.By these strict electromagnetic field models, or obtain amplitude, the phase place in mask near field, or directly obtain amplitude, the phase place of far field construction light.Strict electromagnetic field model shows, mask sees through region and do not see through that region sees through electric field magnitude, phase place changes no longer so steep.
Prior art (J.Opt.Soc.Am.A, 1994,11,9:2494-2502; JOURNAL OF MUDANJIANG COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, 2009,6:57-59) a kind of utilization disclosed
the diffraction characteristic of analysis of two-dimensional sub-wave length grating.But the method has following deficiency, it can only the identical multilayer two-dimension grating of analytical cycle; The method analysis be dielectric diffraction properties, and convergence is poor; The method has only been analyzed the diffraction of one deck two-dimensional grating simultaneously, and in alternating phase-shift contact hole mask, mask has three grating layers, in substrate of glass, in two orthogonal directions, (x, cycle y) are two times of corresponding cycle of mask absorption layer to etch areas, cycle on two orthogonal directionss is not identical, and substrate phase shift district presents crossed grating characteristic.Therefore adopt said method can not calculate the diffraction of double absorption layer alternating phase-shift contact hole mask.
