Description

Photoetching machine and method for measuring evaporation power of liquid film on substrate surface of photoetching machine
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photoetching machines, in particular to a photoetching machine and a method for measuring the evaporation power of a liquid film on the surface of a substrate of the photoetching machine.
Background
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an immersion lithography machine. The illumination system 101 forms a beam of light that projects a pattern on the mask 102 through the projection system 104 onto the substrate 108. The mask 102 is supported by a mask stage 103. The substrate 108 is supported by a moving stage 107, and the moving stage 107 can move at a high speed in the horizontal direction. The projection system 104 is supported by a frame 105. An immersion fluid maintenance system 106 is positioned between the projection system 104 and the motion stage 107 so that the propagation medium for the beam in this region is water. When the motion stage 107 moves at a high speed, the immersion liquid maintenance system 106 is divided into two parts, and the immersion liquid maintenance system 106 ensures that the liquid does not flow out from the gap between the two parts, but cannot avoid dragging the residual liquid film of hundreds of nanometers. The liquid film is evaporated and refrigerated in the air, so that the temperature of the substrate is reduced, and deformation is generated. The cooling power generated by the evaporation of the residual liquid film on the surface of the substrate is small (generally less than 5W), but the projection precision of the pattern is influenced by slight deformation. Therefore, the evaporation power needs to be measured to make a corresponding temperature compensation strategy. The evaporation power cannot be directly measured, but the temperature measurement result can be converted into the size of the evaporation power. The liquid film is generated when the motion platform moves at a high speed, and the covering area and the shape of the liquid film can be changed along with the motion state at any time.
Fig. 2 is a typical apparatus for measuring evaporation power, including a substrate carrying unit 111 for carrying a substrate 108; a water inlet pipeline 109 is arranged in the substrate bearing unit 111; the inlet of the water inlet pipe 109 is provided with a first temperature sensor 110a for measuring the temperature of water at the inlet; the outlet of the water inlet pipe 109 is provided with a second temperature sensor 110b for measuring the temperature of water at the outlet. The substrate support unit 111 is, for example, in a disk shape, and the structure of the substrate support unit 111 is not limited to a disk, and may be a square shape or any other shape, and may cover the entire substrate. The size of the obtained evaporation power is calculated by measuring the temperature difference between an inlet and an outlet:
Figure BDA0003189514050000021
wherein dQ/dt is the endothermic power of water, in W; c is the specific heat capacity of water, 4.18 kJ/(kg. DEG C); ρ is the density of water; dV/dt is the flow rate of water; Δ T is the temperature difference measured at the inlet and outlet.
When the evaporation power is constant, the flow rate of water is inversely proportional to the temperature difference measured by the sensor. The larger the flow of water is, the smaller the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet is, and the higher the required measurement precision of the sensor is; the lower the precision of the selected sensor, the smaller the required flow rate, and the higher the flow control precision requirement. Assuming that the evaporation power is-5W, it can be obtained: (dV/dt) · Δ T = -0.072 ℃ · L/min, where dV/dt is the flow rate of water and Δ T is the temperature difference measured at the inlet and outlet. It is assumed that the flow is controlled at 0.7L/min, and the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet is about-0.1 ℃. The measurement accuracy, even when calculated at a poor 5%, places high demands on the flow control and temperature measurement accuracy. If the actually measured evaporation power is smaller, the precision requirement is further improved.

The difference from the embodiment is that, in the embodiment, the shape of the rib 206b is curved. Further, the rib 206b has a J-shape. The ribs 206b are staggered. The flow channel is designed to be turbulent flow so as to increase the heat convection capability of the fluid medium.
FIG. 6 is a schematic view of another rib inside the substrate supporting unit according to the second embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 7 is a schematic illustration of the coanda effect and the local turbulence created by the wall separation of the second embodiment of the present invention; in this embodiment, the rib 206b includes a straight portion and an arc portion, the rib 206b has a J-shape, and the ribs 206b are arranged in a staggered manner. From the structural point of view, the flow channel is generally divided into two parts. A part of the opposite side of the J-shaped tip has a longer path, and the gas flows in a curved line, and the contact area with the rib 206b is also larger. The other part of the J-shaped tip is opposite to the other part of the J-shaped tip, gas tends to flow along the wall surface according to the coanda effect, the wall surface separation is started after a certain distance, the arc line of the J-shaped back surface enables the gas to flow along the curve in the part of the flow channel on one hand, and on the other hand, according to the fluid characteristics, turbulence is generated at the part of the wall surface separation, so that the local convective heat transfer coefficient is increased, as shown in figure 7.
Fig. 8 is a simulation result of the gas flow line according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and it can be seen from fig. 8 that the ribs 206b are arranged in a staggered J-shape, and the coanda effect and the wall separation phenomenon are generated in the fluid medium.
In this embodiment, part of the heat transfer occurs between the surface of the substrate 208 and the air during motion of the motion stage, and the rate of heat transfer from the solid structure (substrate and the substrate-carrying unit) to the fluid can be expressed as dQ h /dt=hA(T s -T f ) Wherein h is the convective heat transfer coefficient, A is the contact area of the fluid-solid interface, and T s Is the temperature of the solid, T f Is ambient temperature, dQ h And/dt is the heat transfer rate of the fluid. In order to reduce the measuring processAnd controlling the temperature of the environment and the fluid in the substrate bearing unit to be the same under the influence of other factors, wherein the factor influencing the heat transfer rate is the product hA of the convective heat transfer coefficient and the area. The convective heat transfer coefficient of the surface of the substrate 208 is 5W/(m) under the typical motion speed and trajectory of the motion table 2 DEG C.), 12 inch gauge base area of about 0.07m 2 And hA is 0.35W/DEG C.

When water is used as a medium, the flow rate is assumed to be 1L/min and is 200-500W/DEG C according to different flow channel structures hA. When an air medium is adopted, the flow is calculated at 200L/min, and the convection heat transfer coefficient h is more than or equal to 70W/(m) through structural design 2 DEG C) when the area is more than 0.5m 2 When the temperature is higher than or equal to 35W/DEG C, hA is 100 times of the heat exchange of the substrate 208 to the environment, and 99% of heat is taken away by the medium in the flow channel. The h and A are easy to design and meet the requirements for air with the flow rate of 200L/min, for example, a large number of fins are arranged in the structure, and the liquid leakage condition does not need to be considered, so that the liquid leakage can be processed and manufactured by using a welding or 3D printing mode.
