For making the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearly understand, below in conjunction with specific embodiment, and with reference to accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in further detail.
Fig. 2 is the structural representation of an embodiment of test system for extreme ultraviolet radiation material of the present invention.As shown in Figure 2, it comprises EUV light source room 1, filter plate room 2, collects mirror cell 3, spectral detection room 4, transfer chamber 5 and sample chamber 6.Each chamber preferably adopts modular design, is connected by standard flange interface, facilitates mounting or dismounting and debugging between each element.
Described EUV light source room 1 is for holding EUV light source 11, and EUV light source 11 can be LPP (Laser Produced Plasma) light source or DPP (Discharge Produced Plasma) light source.EUV light source 11 produces plasma, gives off the nearly grenz ray of wide range, and in larger space, produce debris contamination thing (particularly DPP light source); EUV light source 11 is preferably inside debris collector, chip can be retrained the further diffusion controlling chip through while the nearly grenz ray of wide range.
Described filter plate room 2 is for placing filter plate (not shown).Described filter plate can be made up of the support nickel screen of the zirconium lattice of hundreds of nano thickness and tens micron thickness, near for wide range grenz ray can be filtered into narrow spectrum EUV irradiation.
Mirror 31 is collected for placing by described collection mirror cell 3.Collect mirror 31 and be arranged on the inwall collecting Room, mirror cell 3 by mounting bracket (not shown); Mounting bracket can manually or motorized adjustment collect the assembling position of mirror 31 and collection angle.Collect mirror 31 and can be catoptron, for the EUV dispersed irradiation is converged to D translation platform 61 in sample chamber 6.Collecting mirror 31 can be ellipsoidal mirror or anchor ring/toroidal mirror: when it is ellipsoidal mirror, and in EUV light source 11 plasma place and sample chamber, sample irradiation point place is two focuses of ellipsoid.In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, penetrate downwards by the beam orthogonal after collection mirror and keep good beam characteristics.
According to the present invention, before filter plate room 2 can be placed on and collect mirror cell 3 or after collecting mirror cell 3.Here " front " and " afterwards " respectively the working direction of irradiation that sends of corresponding EUV light source 11 by optical element " elder generation " and " afterwards ".When filter plate room 2 be positioned at collect before mirror cell 3 time, as shown in Figure 2, its with EUV light source room 1 with collect mirror 31 and be all coupled.Time after filter plate room 2 is positioned at collection mirror cell 3, it is coupled to collects between mirror cell 3 and spectral detection room 4.No matter filter plate room 2 and EUV light source room 1 and collect mirror 31 and be coupled, or be coupled with collection mirror cell 3 and spectral detection room 4, the spectrum recorded by spectral detection room 4 be all by filter plate room 2 filtering after spectrum, and can think that the spectral characteristic recorded is the spectral characteristic of irradiation on material sample.In addition, if light path is shifted out in filter plate room 2, or filter plate room 2 is coupled between spectral detection room 4 and transfer chamber 5, or filter plate room 2 is coupled between transfer chamber 5 and sample chamber 6, the spectrum recorded by spectral detection room 4 be filtering before spectrum; By the spectral characteristic before and after contrast filtering, the filtering performance of filter plate in filter plate room 2 can be assessed.
Described spectral detection room 4 is for installing a catoptron 41 and a spectrometer 42, and catoptron 41 is for reflexing to spectro-metre by from the EUV irradiation collecting mirror cell 3.For Rowland circle grating spectrograph, spectrometer vacuum chamber is connected with collection mirror cell 3 by slit by described spectrometer; The EUV exposed portion reflected back through catoptron 41 by slit, then the grating beam splitting in spectrometer, is incident upon on Rowland circle by wavelength coverage respectively by light beam; Detector moves on that track according to the track of Rowland circle radial design Rowland circle one, detects the intensity level of different wave length thus, thus obtains spectral distribution property.
Fig. 3 shows the mounting structure of the catoptron in this embodiment.As shown in Figure 3, one dimension translation stage 44 installs a support 43, support 43 is threaded connection, the mode mounting plane catoptron 41 such as viscose glue connection.Spectrometer 42 can be entered into after plane mirror reflection, because the spectrometer of measure spectrum did not need multiple beam, so mirror reflection surface can be reduced, only segment beam is reflected into spectrometer by collecting the convergence EUV light bundle behind mirror cell 4.One dimension translation stage 44 can be ball screw type translation stage, drives screw turns by motor, thus drives the nut translation being provided with support 43; Because demand fulfillment vacuum work condition and consideration grease are to the strong absorption of EUV irradiation, motor used is without oily ceramic motor; Motor can at the outer remote pilot of chamber, or is connected on chamber by vacuum plug and outside chamber, has line traffic control again.This test system for extreme ultraviolet radiation material can not on-line testing spectral characteristic, not test spectral when carrying out material irradiation test, and this translation stage 44 drives support 43 and catoptron 41 to deviate from EUV exposure beam light path is not stopped by device; When needs test spectral, catoptron is connected into light path by this translation stage 44 mobile, and reflection EUV irradiation is in the interface slit of spectrometer 42.The spectral characteristic that such off-line records just can think the spectral characteristic of irradiation on material sample.
Transfer chamber 5 for connecting spectral detection room 4 and sample chamber 6, and introduces the EUV irradiation from spectral detection room 4 in sample chamber 6.In transfer chamber 5, vacuum shutter can be installed, with the umber of exposures of control EUV irradiation on sample and exposure time.
Sample chamber 6 for holding sample S, the CCD616 and energy meter 617 that will test, and can make sample S, CCD616 and energy meter 617 move to the same position that can accept EUV irradiation in turn.
CCD616 is for measuring the hot spot characteristic of EUV irradiation.Energy meter 617 is for measuring the energy of EUV irradiation.Thus, switched by position, CCD616 can be switched to the position identical with the sample accepting EUV irradiation respectively with energy meter 617, thus the hot spot characteristic of the EUV irradiation that CCD616 is measured is identical with irradiation energy with the hot spot characteristic of irradiation on material sample S with the EUV irradiation energy measured by energy meter 617.
In order to realize the switching between position adjustment and above-mentioned three elements, in sample chamber 6, D translation platform 61 can be installed, it for settling and mobile example S, CCD616 and energy meter 617 on three-dimensional, and ensures that mobile example S, CCD616 and energy meter 617 can be switched to the same position accepting EUV irradiation.
Fig. 4 shows in the sample chamber 6 of this embodiment and installs sample S, CCD616 and energy meter 617 by D translation platform 61.As shown in Figure 4, this D translation platform 61 is formed by connecting by holder combination by three one dimension translation stages.One dimension translation stage can be ball screw type translation stage, drives screw turns by motor, thus drives nut translation.
Because demand fulfillment vacuum work condition and consideration grease are to the strong absorption of EUV irradiation, motor used is without oily ceramic motor; Motor can at the outer remote pilot of chamber, or is connected on chamber by vacuum plug and outside chamber, has line traffic control again.
A kind of array mode of described D translation platform is: X-axis translation stage 611 is arranged on the nut of Y-axis translation stage 612, the nut of X-axis translation stage is provided with X-Z bracing strut 614, X-Z bracing strut 614 is provided with Z axis translation stage 613, the nut of Z axis translation stage 613 is provided with sample platform bracket 615, difference fixed sample S, CCD616 and energy meter 617 on sample platform bracket 615.
Need guarantee three mutual at right angle settings of one dimension translation stage when mounted; The sensitive plane of the detector of CCD616, energy meter 617 and the test surfaces of sample S keep in one plane, and this plane need be vertical with the primary optical axis of incoming flow EUV irradiation.Like this, can think that the hot spot characteristic of the EUV irradiation measured by CCD616 and the energy of EUV irradiation measured by energy meter 617 are exactly the hot spot characteristic of irradiation on material sample and irradiation energy.
Spot size and the energy of EUV irradiation is detected by moving three dimension translation stage 61, concrete mode is: by the irradiation spot size (use CCD detection) regulating vertical direction displacement to regulate sample plane, thus corresponding different EUV irradiation energy density (energy measured by energy meter/by the facula area of CCD detection); Irradiation test points different on CCD, energy meter and sample is substituted by regulating two displacements in surface level.
