Description

Gas bath device and photoetching machine
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photoetching, in particular to a gas bath device and a photoetching machine.
Background
The photoetching machine is a key device in the semiconductor industry, the photoetching machine has extremely high precision requirement and very complex structure, and the product precision reaches the nanometer level. In order to realize the normal operation of high-precision equipment, a stable working environment needs to be established inside the whole photoetching machine. In order to ensure the normal operation of the whole photoetching machine, the control of the temperature, the pressure and the pollutants in the whole photoetching machine is very important.
Generally, the control of the temperature, the pressure and the pollutants in the whole photoetching machine is realized by forming an environment with a certain positive pressure in each area of the whole photoetching machine, so that the temperature and the pressure of the gas in each area of the whole photoetching machine can be ensured to be constant, and the external pollutants can not enter each area of the whole photoetching machine. This environment with a certain positive pressure is generally achieved by continuously blowing a cleaning gas into the lithography machine through a gas bath device. The gas generating device in the gas bath device generates clean gas, the clean gas is conveyed to a gas regulating unit (gas bath plate) in the gas bath device after the temperature is controlled by a heat exchanger in the gas bath device, the clean gas is blown to each controlled object by the gas regulating unit, and the gas removing device can discharge the gas passing through the controlled object and some pollutants generated when equipment runs out of the whole photoetching machine. Each gas conditioning unit of a typical gas bath apparatus includes a first gas bath module that blows out a high-speed gas and a second gas bath module that blows out a low-speed gas.
The requirements of different areas in the whole photoetching machine on temperature and pressure are different, and especially the requirements of the area of the moving table and the area of the measuring system on temperature and pressure are higher.
In the motion table area, because the motion table has very high speed and acceleration when working, and the motion table itself is a moving heat source, has an influence on the surrounding environment, and in order to ensure that the precision motion of the motion table is stable and reliable, the environment in the motion table area needs to be relatively stable. However, the gas conditioning unit fixedly disposed on the frame of the lithography machine in the gas bath apparatus needs to cover the entire moving stage area according to the moving locus of the moving stage, the area of the gas conditioning unit is large, and a large space needs to be occupied. And the wind direction of the gas blown out by the gas conditioning unit fixedly arranged on the frame of the photoetching machine can not be adjusted, and certain positions in the moving table area can not be well covered by the gas blown out by the gas conditioning unit.
The measurement system of the lithography machine generally has an interferometer measurement system and/or an optical grating measurement system, but the environment of the measurement system area needs to be stable no matter the lithography machine has the interferometer measurement system or the optical grating measurement system.
For a lithography machine comprising an interferometer measurement system, the first gas bath component needs to cover the whole interferometer light path, so that the temperature on the light path is stable, the pressure fluctuation is small, and the influence of the ambient environment on the interferometer light path is avoided. Because the tail end of the interferometer light path is close to the objective lens, the first air bath component cannot be arranged on the whole interferometer light path, and the method generally adopted is to enable the first air bath component close to the tail end of the interferometer light path to have the function of oblique air blowing, so that the tail end of the interferometer light path can be covered by air blown out by the first air bath component. This function of diagonal blowing is generally achieved by changing the direction of the air blown out from the first air bath assembly by means of a grid guide plate, the structure of which is schematically shown in fig. 1. However, the grid guide plate is fixedly installed on the frame of the lithography machine, and the wind direction of the blown gas cannot be adjusted even after the grid guide plate is designed and installed, so that the degree of changing the wind direction of the blown gas is limited.
For a lithography machine including a grating scale measurement system, the planar grating scale 110 is mounted on the lower surface of the main substrate 120, and the grating scale reading head 130 is mounted on the moving stage 140 and moves together with the moving stage 140. As shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a lithography machine including a grating scale measurement system, when exposure is performed, the moving stage 140 moves according to a predetermined track, the position of the moving stage 140 constantly changes, which causes the position of the grating scale reading head 130 to constantly change, and gas is required to be continuously blown and showered near the reading head of the moving stage 140, so that the grating scale reading head 130 can be always covered by a gas bath, thereby ensuring that the temperature environment of the measurement system is stable. Meanwhile, the continuous blowing and showering of the gas can also take away the heat emitted by the motion table 140, so that the temperature of the motion table 140 is stable, the influence of the thermal deformation of the motion table 140 on the precision is reduced, and the improvement of the precision of the motion table 140 and the precision of a measurement system is facilitated. According to the motion track of the motion stage 140, a plurality of gas conditioning units fixedly arranged on the frame of the lithography machine in the gas bath device need to cover the whole motion stage 140 area, and the plurality of gas conditioning units have large area and need to occupy large space. However, a large part of the entire area of the moving stage 140 is the area where the grating ruler is located, and a plurality of gas conditioning units of the gas bath apparatus cannot be arranged.
In both the lithography machine including the grating scale measurement system and the lithography machine including the interferometer measurement system, the plurality of gas conditioning units in the gas bath device inside the lithography machine are fixedly arranged relative to the frame of the lithography machine, and the wind direction of the blown gas cannot be adjusted after the plurality of gas conditioning units in the gas bath device inside the lithography machine are designed and installed. In practical engineering applications, if the gas blown out from the gas conditioning unit is to always cover the moving object, the grating ruler reading head, and the interferometer optical path in the moving stage area, the wind direction of the gas blown out from the gas conditioning unit needs to be adjusted, and if the wind direction of the gas blown out from the gas conditioning unit needs to be adjusted, the machine must be stopped, and it is very troublesome to change the gas conditioning unit or change the installation angle of the gas conditioning unit to change the wind direction of the gas blown out from the gas conditioning unit, and the space for installing the gas bath device in the lithography machine is limited. Meanwhile, when the controlled object is a moving part in some areas, the moving part cannot be always covered by the gas bath by the plurality of gas regulating units fixedly arranged relative to the frame of the photoetching machine in a limited space.

Detailed Description
The gas bath device and the lithography machine according to the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples. Advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and from the claims. It is to be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and are not to precise scale, which is merely for the purpose of facilitating and distinctly claiming the embodiments of the present invention.
Example one
The present embodiment provides a gas bath apparatus. Referring to fig. 3 and 4, fig. 3 is a front view of a gas bath apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 4 is a plan view of the gas bath apparatus of fig. 3 for blowing gas to the moving object, the gas bath apparatus including a gas supply unit for supplying gas, at least one gas adjusting unit 300 for blowing gas, and the gas adjusting unit 300 having an adjustable direction of blowing gas, and a control unit for controlling the gas adjusting unit 300 to adjust the direction of blowing gas by the gas adjusting unit 300 in real time such that the direction of blowing gas by the gas adjusting unit 300 varies in real time with a variation in the position of the moving object.
Since the gas supply unit is used to supply gas, the gas adjusting unit 300 is used to blow gas, and the direction in which the gas adjusting unit 300 blows gas is adjustable, and the adjustment of the direction in which the gas adjusting unit 300 blows gas is controlled by the control unit in such a manner that the gas adjusting unit 300 adjusts the direction in which the gas adjusting unit 300 blows gas in real time so that the direction in which the gas adjusting unit 300 blows gas changes in real time as the position of the mover changes.
The direction in which the gas regulating unit 300 blows the gas is changed in real time according to the change of the position of the mover, so that the direction in which the gas regulating unit 300 blows the gas is regulated in real time according to the change of the position of the mover, compared to the related art gas bath apparatus in which the direction in which the gas is blown is not regulated, thereby enabling the mover to be covered with the gas blown by the gas regulating unit 300 in real time. Also, since the direction in which the gas regulating unit 300 blows the gas is adjustable, it is possible to allow the moving object to be covered with the gas blown by the gas regulating unit 300 in real time while reducing the area of the gas regulating unit 300, simplifying the volume of the gas bath apparatus, and facilitating the adjustment of the direction in which the gas regulating unit 300 blows the gas, improving maintenance and adjustment efficiency.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the gas supply unit is for blowing gas, and includes a gas generation device 210, a gas filtration purification device 220, a gas temperature control device 230, and a duct 240.

Wherein the gas generating device 210 is used for generating gas. The gas is usually wet air, for example, the immersion liquid in the immersion system evaporates to bring about temperature changes, which causes dimensional changes of related parts and silicon wafers, thereby affecting the exposure precision, and the introduction of the wet air can effectively reduce the evaporation rate of the immersion liquid, thereby controlling the temperature changes, and further reducing the risk of affecting the exposure precision due to the dimensional changes of the related parts and silicon wafers caused by the temperature changes. The gas filtering and purifying device 220 is used for purifying the gas. The temperature control device is used for controlling the temperature of the gas.

The through hole with the contained angle between the first terminal plate 313 is theta, 0 degree < theta <90 degrees, and the size of theta can be designed according to the requirements of different machines. The direction of the wind blowing the gas from the first end plate 313 is related to the relative position of the first end plate 313 and the first gas bath body 311, and also related to the size of the included angle theta between the through hole and the first end plate 313. The first end plate 313 may be made of stainless steel, PTFE, or the like.
The connecting piece can be made of rubber, silica gel and other materials with certain elasticity, and can deform to a certain extent when the first end plate 313 and the first air bath body 311 are connected in a sealing manner, so that the situation that the sealing performance between the first end plate 313 and the first air bath body 311 is damaged when the first end plate 313 rotates under the driving of the first adjusting mechanism 312 can be avoided.

The shape and size of the inner cavity of the third gas bath body are sequentially changed from the gas inlet end of the third gas bath 330 to the end of the third gas bath body connected with the third end plate, so that the gas entering the inner cavity of the third gas bath body is blown out at a predetermined wind speed, for example, at a lower speed, under the action of the inner cavity.
Preferably, in order to ensure the wind speed and cleanliness of the gas entering the first, second and third gas baths 310, 320 and 330, a filter is further disposed on the pipe 240 between the gas temperature control device 230 and the gas conditioning unit 300. In order to stabilize the temperature of the gas passing through the gas temperature control device 230, the pipeline 240 between the gas temperature control device 230 and the gas conditioning unit 300 is designed to be a double-layer structure, and the middle is filled with a thermal insulation material, so that the risk that the gas in the pipeline 240 is affected by the surrounding environment is reduced.
The control unit comprises a motion piece controller, a gas bath adjusting mechanism controller and a synchronous controller. The moving part controller is used for controlling the moving part to move, the gas bath adjusting mechanism controller is used for controlling the gas adjusting unit to adjust the gas blowing direction of the gas adjusting unit in real time, and the synchronous controller is used for controlling the moving part controller and the gas bath adjusting mechanism controller to act synchronously so that the gas blowing direction of the gas adjusting unit changes in real time along with the change of the position of the moving part.
Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a block diagram of a control unit of a gas bath apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the control unit further includes a complete machine controller, and the complete machine controller is configured to send a moving member operating instruction to the moving member controller, and send a gas bath operating instruction to the gas bath adjustment mechanism controller. And the moving part controller receives the moving part working instruction, converts the moving part working instruction into a track planning parameter and controls the moving part to move according to the track planning parameter. The gas bath adjusting mechanism controller receives the gas bath working instruction, converts the gas bath working instruction into an initial parameter set value, and controls the gas adjusting unit 300 to act according to the initial parameter set value. The synchronous control system sends synchronous control time sequence information to the moving part controller and the gas bath adjusting mechanism controller through synchronous time sequence flow so as to control the moving part controller and the gas bath adjusting mechanism controller to synchronously act.
Specifically, the gas bath adjustment mechanism controller controls the operation of the first adjustment mechanism 312 of the first gas bath 310 of the gas conditioning unit 300 according to the initial parameter setting value.
The gas bath apparatus further comprises a gas suction device 510, wherein the gas suction device 510 is used for sucking the gas and discharging the gas.
The gas bath device further comprises an exhaust device 520, the exhaust device 520 is communicated with the air suction device 510, and the air suction device 510 sucks the gas through the exhaust device 520. For example, the exhaust 520 may be a pipe having a plurality of openings.
The following describes the operation of the gas bath apparatus in a lithography machine by taking the gas bath apparatus as an example.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the lithography machine includes a moving stage frame 410, a moving stage 420, a planar grating scale 430, a grating scale reading head, and a main substrate 450, the moving stage 420 is disposed on the moving stage frame 410, the planar grating scale 430 is mounted on a lower surface of the main substrate 450, and the grating scale reading head is mounted on the moving stage 420 and moves along with the moving stage 420.
The number of the gas adjusting units 300 is eight, every four gas adjusting devices are arranged in a row along the Y-axis direction, and the eight gas adjusting devices are respectively arranged at both sides of the moving table frame 410 in a symmetrical manner about a symmetry axis parallel to the Y-axis. The number of the air suction devices is two, and the two air suction devices are respectively arranged on the other two sides of the moving table frame 410 in a symmetrical mode about a symmetry axis parallel to the X axis. Because the gas-extracting device and the gas-adjusting device are respectively disposed on two different sides of the motion stage frame 410, the gas blown from the gas-adjusting device can be blown to the motion stage 420 better, and then enter the gas-extracting device to be discharged out of the lithography machine. The number of the temperature control devices is two, and the two temperature control devices are respectively disposed at both sides of the moving table frame 410 in a symmetrical manner about a symmetry axis parallel to the Y-axis. Each of the temperature control devices is connected to the four gas conditioning units 300 on the same side, and the gas treated by the gas filtering and purifying device 220 is divided into two paths to enter the two temperature control devices, and flows from the two temperature control devices to the four gas conditioning units 300 corresponding to the temperature control devices.
Wherein the mover includes the moving stage 420 and the grating scale reading head mounted on the moving stage 420 and moving together with the moving stage 420, in other embodiments the mover may include only the moving stage 420 or only the grating scale reading head.
The technical process of blowing gas to the moving part by the gas bath device so that the moving part is always covered by the gas is as follows:
first, the gas supply unit supplies gas.
Specifically, first, the gas generating device 210 generates gas, and then the gas flows into the gas filtering and purifying device 220 through the pipeline 240, is processed by the gas filtering and purifying device 220, then flows into the temperature control device through the pipeline 240, and enters the gas conditioning unit 300 through the pipeline 240 after the temperature is controlled by the temperature control device. Preferably, the gas whose temperature is controlled by the temperature control device is filtered again by a filter and then introduced into the gas conditioning unit 300 through the pipe 240.
Next, the gas adjusting unit 300 adjusts the direction in which the gas adjusting unit 300 blows gas in real time under the control of the control unit so that the direction in which the gas adjusting unit 300 blows gas changes in real time as the position of the moving stage 420 changes, while the gas adjusting unit 300 blows gas.
Specifically, the complete machine controller sends a moving part working instruction to the moving part controller, and sends a gas bath working instruction to the gas bath adjusting mechanism controller. The motion piece controller receives the motion piece working instruction, converts the motion piece working instruction into a trajectory planning parameter, and controls the motion platform 420 to move according to the trajectory planning parameter. The gas bath adjusting mechanism controller receives the gas bath working instruction, converts the gas bath working instruction into an initial parameter set value, and controls the gas adjusting unit 300 to act according to the initial parameter set value. The synchronous control system sends synchronous control time sequence information to the moving part controller and the gas bath adjusting mechanism controller through synchronous time sequence flow so as to control the moving part controller and the gas bath adjusting mechanism controller to synchronously act.
For example, referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic structural diagram of the moving stage 420 between two rows of gas conditioning units 300 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, when the moving stage 420 is between two rows of gas conditioning units 300, at this time, the distance between the moving stage 420 and the gas conditioning units 300 on both sides is the same, the angle between the gas blowing direction of the gas conditioning units 300 on both sides and the XOY plane needs to be the same, and at this time, the control unit controls the gas blowing direction of the gas conditioning units 300 and the angle between the XOY plane need to be the same, so that the gas blown out from the gas conditioning units 300 can cover the moving stage 420 at the current position.
Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic structural diagram of the moving stage 420 biased to the X positive direction side between two rows of gas adjusting units 300 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and the control unit controls the gas adjusting units 300 biased to the X positive direction side to blow gas at an angle with the XOY plane that is greater than the gas adjusting units 300 biased to the X negative direction side to blow gas at an angle with the XOY plane.
Referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is a schematic structural diagram of the moving stage 420 biased to the X negative direction side between two rows of gas adjusting units 300 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and the control unit controls an included angle between a gas blowing direction of the gas adjusting unit 300 biased to the X negative direction side and an XOY plane to be smaller than an included angle between a gas blowing direction of the gas adjusting unit 300 biased to the X positive direction side and the XOY plane.
Since the planar grating 430 is disposed on the lower surface of the main substrate 450 in a large area, the two rows of gas conditioning units 300 arranged along the Y direction allow the gas blown by the gas conditioning units 300 to cover the planar grating 430 on the whole in the Y direction, while the gas blown by the gas conditioning units 300 in the X direction may not cover a position near the middle of the two rows of gas conditioning units 300, and the moving stage 420 is located at a position mostly in the middle of the two rows of gas conditioning units 300. The wind speed at the position of the grating scale reading head when the moving stage 420 in this embodiment is at a certain position can be calculated through simulation to determine whether the gas blown by the gas conditioning unit 300 completely covers the grating scale reading head and the moving stage 420 at the corresponding positions.
The wind speed at the exhaust port of the gas conditioning unit 300 is set to 3m/s, and the wind speeds of the grating ruler reading head at different positions are as follows:
read head position First position Second position Third position The fourth position
Flow velocity (m/s) 0.3488 0.4680 2.7259 2.7080
As shown in fig. 12, fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of wind speeds at different positions of the moving stage 420 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and airflow passes through the first position 610, the second position 620, the third position 630, and the fourth position 640, so that the moving stage 420 and the grating scale reading head can be covered by the airflow when the moving stage 420 is located at the corresponding position.
