Description

Method and system for calculating dynamic balance of initial structure of optical system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of extreme ultraviolet lithography objective optics, in particular to a method and a system for calculating the dynamic balance of an initial structure of an optical system.
Background
Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUVL) is a projection Lithography technique that uses Extreme Ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 13.5nm as a working wavelength, and has a natural advantage that the exposure wavelength is reduced by one order of magnitude, so that the limitation on the numerical aperture and the process factor of an objective lens can be well released, the objective lens becomes a next-generation Lithography technique, and the EUVL is a preferred technique for realizing the industrialization of a 7nm and below technology node integrated circuit. The extreme ultraviolet lithography objective optical system is the core of the extreme ultraviolet lithography exposure optical system, and the extreme ultraviolet lithography projection objective has extremely high imaging requirements and needs to realize the super-diffraction limit resolution. The design of an optical system with super-diffraction limit and extremely-small aberration is realized, and the aberration balance is very depended on, which brings great challenges to an optical designer. At present, optical design software mainly solves the optimization problem of an optical system, a local optimization algorithm of a damping least square method is adopted to calculate the minimum value of a multi-dimensional variable space error function, the final optimization result is a local optimal solution which is close to an initial structure in most cases, the method has great limitation, the optimization design by utilizing the optical design software is seriously dependent on the selection of the initial structure, and the construction of the initial structure is the key of the optical system design. Especially for an optical system with extremely small aberration, which is more sensitive to aberration balance, the initial structure construction meeting the aberration balance and multi-constraint control is a key problem.
When the optical system is designed, the determination of the structural form of the optical system is very important, and when the structure is too simple, the degree of freedom is limited, so that the requirement on imaging performance is difficult to meet; when the structure is excessively complicated, the manufacturing difficulty is greatly increased, so that the production cost is increased. Before the initial structure is designed, design indexes are required to be clear, and a relatively appropriate structure form is determined according to the design indexes. The method for acquiring the initial structure of the optical system mainly comprises the following three methods:
the first method is to refer to the existing optical system structure form (patent and literature published reports), select the structure form close to the design index, and complete the design by the subsequent aberration correction.
The second method is to determine a relatively suitable structural form according to design indexes, establish a mathematical model for solving system structural parameters based on an aberration theory, and calculate an initial structure by solving the mathematical model.
The third method is to discretize the surface of the optical element, iteratively calculate the points of the surface of the optical system element point by point, and finally fit the discrete points with a polynomial to obtain the surface equation of the initial structure.
At present, common methods for constructing the initial structure of the extreme ultraviolet lithography objective optical system include a paraxial search method, a Y, Y-bar method and a grouping design method. The paraxial search method is provided by M.F.Bal, the method adopts a paraxial model, and exhales first-order aberration of an optical system, so that the quantity of constraint requirements is too small, and the efficiency is greatly influenced.
Scott a. lerner et al apply the Y, Y-bar method to optical system structure solving, which builds initial structures using the highly resolved radii of curvature and mirror spacing of marginal rays and chief rays at the surface of the optical element. The chief ray and marginal ray heights of the optical surfaces of each structure are not readily determinable and are not universally applicable. When the number of the off-axis reflection optical system elements is large, the calculation amount of the method is greatly increased, and the design efficiency is influenced. The grouping design method is applied to off-axis six-antipode ultraviolet lithography objective optical system design by Hudyma, and the optical system is divided into two groups, but a specific design method is not given.
The grouping design method of real light ray tracing is proposed by the Liyanqiu subject group of Beijing university of rational Engineers and applied to off-axis six-reflector and reflection systems with more element numbers. The method introduces real ray tracing to solve the constraint problem in the initial structure solution, does not consider the aberration balance problem, and completely relies on optical design software optimization to correct the aberration. This would result in: 1. the optimization process may generate large disturbance, and the structure is deviated from the initial structure too much, so that the constraint is difficult to control; 2. in the optimization of optical design software, a large residual amount may occur in the low-order aberration and the high-order aberration in the aberration balancing process, so that the design residual error of an optical system is large, and the realization of a system with extremely small aberration is not facilitated.
When the existing initial structure is solved, the weights of the aberration coefficient and the constraint parameter are too dependent on the experience of an optical designer, the conventional method provides the weight factor of the parameter according to the experience of the optical designer, and different initial structures are calculated and screened through different weight factors.
