Description

本発明は、光学装置、露光装置及び物品の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to an optical apparatus, an exposure apparatus, and an article manufacturing method.

半導体デバイスなどの製造に用いられる露光装置の解像度を向上させるため、露光装置における投影光学系の光学収差、像倍率、像歪み、フォーカスなどの種々の光学特性を補正することが求められている。光学特性の補正は、投影光学系に含まれるミラーの形状を基準形状から変形させることで実現される。ここで、加工誤差等によりミラーの形状が基準形状からずれて形状誤差を有する場合、光学特性の補正のためには、形状誤差も考慮してミラーを変形させる必要がある。特許文献1は、ミラー取り付け時のねじ締結によって発生する理想形状(基準形状)からの形状誤差を、電磁石アクチュエータを駆動することで補正する技術を開示している。   In order to improve the resolution of an exposure apparatus used for manufacturing a semiconductor device or the like, it is required to correct various optical characteristics such as optical aberration, image magnification, image distortion, and focus of a projection optical system in the exposure apparatus. The correction of the optical characteristics is realized by changing the shape of the mirror included in the projection optical system from the reference shape. Here, when the mirror shape deviates from the reference shape due to a processing error or the like and has a shape error, it is necessary to deform the mirror in consideration of the shape error in order to correct the optical characteristics. Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for correcting a shape error from an ideal shape (reference shape) generated by screw fastening when a mirror is attached by driving an electromagnet actuator.

図1は、露光装置の概略構成を示す図である。露光装置50は、照明光学系ILと、投影光学系UMと、マスク55を保持して移動可能なマスクステージMSと、基板56を保持して移動可能な基板ステージPSとを含みうる。また、露光装置50は、基板56を露光する処理を制御する制御部51を含む。   FIG. 1 is a view showing a schematic configuration of an exposure apparatus. The exposure apparatus 50 may include an illumination optical system IL, a projection optical system UM, a mask stage MS that can move while holding the mask 55, and a substrate stage PS that can move while holding the substrate 56. The exposure apparatus 50 includes a control unit 51 that controls processing for exposing the substrate 56.

照明光学系ILに含まれる光源(不図示)から射出された光は、照明光学系ILに含まれるスリット(不図示)によって、例えば、Y方向に長い円弧状の照明領域をマスク55上に形成することができる。マスク55および基板56は、マスクステージMSおよび基板ステージPSによってそれぞれ保持されており、投影光学系UMを介して光学的にほぼ共役な位置(投影光学系UMの物体面および像面の位置)に配置される。投影光学系UMは、所定の投影倍率(例えば1/2倍)を有し、マスク55に形成されたパターンを基板56に投影する。そして、マスクステージMSおよび基板ステージPSを、投影光学系UMの物体面と平行な方向(例えば図1のX方向)に、投影光学系UMの投影倍率に応じた速度比で走査させる。これにより、マスク55に形成されたパターンを基板56に転写することができる。   Light emitted from a light source (not shown) included in the illumination optical system IL forms, for example, an arc-shaped illumination region that is long in the Y direction on the mask 55 by a slit (not shown) included in the illumination optical system IL. can do. The mask 55 and the substrate 56 are respectively held by the mask stage MS and the substrate stage PS, and are optically conjugate positions (positions of the object plane and the image plane of the projection optical system UM) via the projection optical system UM. Be placed. The projection optical system UM has a predetermined projection magnification (for example, ½ times), and projects the pattern formed on the mask 55 onto the substrate 56. Then, the mask stage MS and the substrate stage PS are scanned in a direction parallel to the object plane of the projection optical system UM (for example, the X direction in FIG. 1) at a speed ratio corresponding to the projection magnification of the projection optical system UM. Thereby, the pattern formed on the mask 55 can be transferred to the substrate 56.

投影光学系UMは、例えば、図1に示すように、平面鏡52と、凹面鏡であるミラー1と、凸面鏡54とを含むように構成される。照明光学系ILから出射し、マスク55を透過した露光光は、平面鏡52の第1面52aにより光路を折り曲げられ、ミラー1の第1面1a1に入射する。ミラー1の第1面1a1において反射した露光光は、凸面鏡54において反射し、ミラー1の第2面1a2に入射する。ミラー1の第2面1a2において反射した露光光は、平面鏡52の第2面52bにより光路を折り曲げられ、基板56上に結像する。   For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the projection optical system UM is configured to include a plane mirror 52, a mirror 1 that is a concave mirror, and a convex mirror 54. The exposure light emitted from the illumination optical system IL and transmitted through the mask 55 has its optical path bent by the first surface 52 a of the plane mirror 52 and is incident on the first surface 1 a 1 of the mirror 1. The exposure light reflected by the first surface 1a1 of the mirror 1 is reflected by the convex mirror 54 and enters the second surface 1a2 of the mirror 1. The exposure light reflected by the second surface 1 a 2 of the mirror 1 is bent on the optical path by the second surface 52 b of the plane mirror 52 and forms an image on the substrate 56.

(第1実施形態)
次に、図2及び図3を参照して第1実施形態の光学装置10及び形状誤差の補正方法について説明する。光学装置10は、例えば、反射ミラー型の露光装置に用いられる大口径凹面ミラー装置である。図2は、光学装置の断面図である。光学装置10は、ミラー1とベースプレート5と複数の形状誤差補正ユニット(補正ユニット)2とを備える。ミラー1は、光を反射する反射面1aと、反射面の反対側の面である裏面1bとを有する光学素子である。ミラー1は、固定部材6を介して、ベースプレート5に固定されている。ベースプレート5は、裏面1bに離間して配置されている。
(First embodiment)
Next, the optical device 10 and the shape error correction method according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The optical device 10 is, for example, a large-diameter concave mirror device used in a reflection mirror type exposure apparatus. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the optical device. The optical device 10 includes a mirror 1, a base plate 5, and a plurality of shape error correction units (correction units) 2. The mirror 1 is an optical element having a reflective surface 1a that reflects light and a back surface 1b that is a surface opposite to the reflective surface. The mirror 1 is fixed to the base plate 5 via a fixing member 6. The base plate 5 is spaced apart from the back surface 1b.

補正ユニット2はミラー1とベースプレート5の間に配置され、ミラー1の裏面1bに設置されたミラー側の第1の永久磁石(ミラー側磁石)3と、対向するベースプレート5に配置されたベース側の第2の永久磁石(ベース側磁石)4とで構成されている。補正ユニット2は、ミラー側磁石3に対向するベース側磁石4の極性を反転させて設置することで、吸引力または反発力を発生することができる。また、ミラー側磁石3と対向するベース側磁石4との磁石間距離を、調整機構13を用いて調整することで、発生する力の量を調整することができる。具体的には、調整機構13によりベース側磁石4の配置する位置を調整することで、磁石間距離を調整する。なお、本実施形態においてはベース側磁石4の極性を変える場合を説明したが、これに限られるものではなく、ミラー側磁石3の極性を変えることで吸引力と反発力を切り替えてもよい。   The correction unit 2 is arranged between the mirror 1 and the base plate 5, and the first permanent magnet (mirror side magnet) 3 on the mirror side installed on the back surface 1 b of the mirror 1 and the base side arranged on the opposing base plate 5. And the second permanent magnet (base side magnet) 4. The correction unit 2 can generate an attractive force or a repulsive force by reversing the polarity of the base-side magnet 4 facing the mirror-side magnet 3. Further, the amount of force generated can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the magnets of the base side magnet 4 facing the mirror side magnet 3 using the adjusting mechanism 13. Specifically, the distance between the magnets is adjusted by adjusting the position where the base side magnet 4 is arranged by the adjusting mechanism 13. In the present embodiment, the case where the polarity of the base-side magnet 4 is changed has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the attractive force and the repulsive force may be switched by changing the polarity of the mirror-side magnet 3.

次に、補正ユニット2を用いたミラー1の形状誤差補正方法について説明する。計測部12を用いてミラー1の反射面1aの形状を測定し、形状の誤差を補正するために必要な力の方向及び量(形状誤差)を算出する。計測部12は、レーザ干渉計やシャック・ハルトマンセンサなど、ミラー1の反射面1aの形状を計測する計測器で構成される。   Next, a method for correcting the shape error of the mirror 1 using the correction unit 2 will be described. The shape of the reflecting surface 1a of the mirror 1 is measured using the measuring unit 12, and the direction and amount of force (shape error) necessary to correct the shape error are calculated. The measuring unit 12 includes a measuring instrument that measures the shape of the reflecting surface 1a of the mirror 1, such as a laser interferometer or a Shack-Hartmann sensor.

形状の誤差を補正するために必要な力の方向及び量を示す形状誤差の正負(凹凸)に応じて、各補正ユニット2のベース側磁石4の極性を選択し、吸引力または反発力のいずれかを発生させる。形状誤差の大きさに応じて、各補正ユニット2のミラー側磁石3とベース側磁石4の磁石間距離を調整機構13により調節して、発生力を調整する。複数の補正ユニット2によって、ミラー1に部分的に引張応力或いは圧縮応力が生じる。そのため、ミラー面1aが引張応力あるいは圧縮応力に応じて部分的に弾性変形し、ミラー面1aの形状誤差が補正される。本実施形態の光学装置10は、永久磁石で構成される補正ユニット2により形状補正機構が発熱することなくミラー1の形状誤差を補正することができる。   The polarity of the base side magnet 4 of each correction unit 2 is selected according to the sign of the shape error indicating the direction and amount of force required to correct the shape error, and either the attractive force or the repulsive force is selected. To generate. According to the magnitude of the shape error, the distance between the mirror side magnet 3 and the base side magnet 4 of each correction unit 2 is adjusted by the adjusting mechanism 13 to adjust the generated force. Tensile stress or compressive stress is partially generated in the mirror 1 by the plurality of correction units 2. Therefore, the mirror surface 1a is partially elastically deformed according to tensile stress or compressive stress, and the shape error of the mirror surface 1a is corrected. The optical device 10 of the present embodiment can correct the shape error of the mirror 1 without the shape correction mechanism generating heat by the correction unit 2 formed of a permanent magnet.

次に、図3を参照して補正ユニット2の配置について説明する。図3は、図2の矢印Aの方向で光学装置10を見た正面図である。補正ユニット2は、同一円周上に90°間隔で4箇所に配置し、それとは別のさらに外側の円周上に45°間隔でさらに8箇所に配置する。しかしながら、補正ユニット2の配置はこれに限られるものではなく、補正したい光学収差によって個数および配置を変えてもよい。   Next, the arrangement of the correction unit 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 3 is a front view of the optical device 10 as viewed in the direction of arrow A in FIG. The correction units 2 are arranged at four positions at intervals of 90 ° on the same circumference, and are further arranged at eight places at intervals of 45 ° on a further outer circumference. However, the arrangement of the correction units 2 is not limited to this, and the number and arrangement may be changed depending on the optical aberration to be corrected.

なお、本実施形態の光学装置は要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々に変形することが可能である。例えば、補正ユニット2の数や配置等を任意に設定することが可能である。また、ミラー1の外周部を固定部材6によってベースプレート5に固定しているが、ミラー1の任意の箇所を固定部材6によってベースプレート5に固定してもよい。また、ミラー1とベースプレート5の連結に、ねじや接着等の手段を採用してもよい。第1実施形態では、円形の凹面を有する球面ミラーをミラー1として用いる例について説明したが、それに限られるものではなく、例えば、平面ミラーや凸面を有する球面ミラーをミラー1として用いてもよい。計測部12は、面形状を計測するセンサを例に説明したが、ミラー1の複数の位置を計測する複数の変位センサで構成されたセンサアレイを用いてもよい。   Note that the optical device according to the present embodiment can be variously modified without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, the number and arrangement of the correction units 2 can be arbitrarily set. Further, although the outer peripheral portion of the mirror 1 is fixed to the base plate 5 by the fixing member 6, any part of the mirror 1 may be fixed to the base plate 5 by the fixing member 6. Further, a means such as a screw or adhesion may be employed for connecting the mirror 1 and the base plate 5. In the first embodiment, an example in which a spherical mirror having a circular concave surface is used as the mirror 1 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a flat mirror or a spherical mirror having a convex surface may be used as the mirror 1. Although the measuring unit 12 has been described by taking the sensor for measuring the surface shape as an example, a sensor array including a plurality of displacement sensors for measuring a plurality of positions of the mirror 1 may be used.

(第2実施形態)
次に、図4及び図5を参照して第2実施形態の光学装置20及び形状誤差の補正方法について説明する。なお、図4及び図5において、第1実施形態と共通する部材には同じ符号を付し、その説明を省略する。図4は、第2実施形態に係る光学装置の断面図である。光学装置20は、例えば、反射ミラー型の露光装置に用いられる大口径凹面ミラー装置であり、図1の露光装置ではミラー1に適用されうる。第2実施形態の光学装置20は、例えば、露光装置の投影光学系に含まれるミラー1の反射面1aを変形させることによって投影光学系の光学収差や、投影像の倍率や歪みやフォーカスを補正する。光学装置20は、ミラー1と、ベースプレート5と、複数のアクチュエータ7と、複数の変位センサ14と、制御部11とを含む。
(Second Embodiment)
Next, the optical device 20 and the shape error correction method according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, members that are the same as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the optical device according to the second embodiment. The optical device 20 is, for example, a large-diameter concave mirror device used in a reflection mirror type exposure apparatus, and can be applied to the mirror 1 in the exposure apparatus of FIG. The optical device 20 according to the second embodiment corrects optical aberration of the projection optical system, magnification, distortion, and focus of the projection image by deforming the reflecting surface 1a of the mirror 1 included in the projection optical system of the exposure apparatus, for example. To do. The optical device 20 includes a mirror 1, a base plate 5, a plurality of actuators 7, a plurality of displacement sensors 14, and a control unit 11.

制御部11は、CPUやメモリなどを有し、変位センサ14と複数のアクチュエータ7を制御する。アクチュエータ7は、ミラー1とベースプレート5との間に配置され、ミラー1の裏面1bに力を加える。アクチュエータ7は、裏面1bに固定された可動子磁石8とベースプレート5に固定されている固定子コイル9を有する。変位センサ14は、ミラー1の裏面1bまでの距離を計測する。変位センサ14の計測値をもとに制御部11でアクチュエータ7の駆動指令値が算出され、所望の力が発生される。これにより、ミラー1の反射面1aを高速かつ高精度に変形させることができ、投影光学系UMにおける光学収差をリアルタイムかつ高精度に補正することができる。   The control unit 11 includes a CPU, a memory, and the like, and controls the displacement sensor 14 and the plurality of actuators 7. The actuator 7 is disposed between the mirror 1 and the base plate 5, and applies a force to the back surface 1 b of the mirror 1. The actuator 7 has a mover magnet 8 fixed to the back surface 1 b and a stator coil 9 fixed to the base plate 5. The displacement sensor 14 measures the distance to the back surface 1 b of the mirror 1. Based on the measured value of the displacement sensor 14, the controller 11 calculates a drive command value for the actuator 7, and a desired force is generated. Thereby, the reflecting surface 1a of the mirror 1 can be deformed at high speed and with high accuracy, and the optical aberration in the projection optical system UM can be corrected in real time with high accuracy.

また、光学装置20は、補正ユニット2を有している。補正ユニット2は、ミラー1とベースプレート5の間に配置され、ミラー1の裏面1bに設置されたミラー側磁石3と対向するベースプレート5に配置されたベース側磁石4とで構成されている。補正ユニット2による形状補正方法は、第1実施形態と同様である。形状誤差の測定には、第1実施形態と同様に計測部12を用いてもよいし、変位センサ14を用いてもよい。   The optical device 20 has a correction unit 2. The correction unit 2 is arranged between the mirror 1 and the base plate 5, and includes a base side magnet 4 arranged on the base plate 5 facing the mirror side magnet 3 installed on the back surface 1 b of the mirror 1. The shape correction method by the correction unit 2 is the same as in the first embodiment. For measurement of the shape error, the measurement unit 12 may be used as in the first embodiment, or the displacement sensor 14 may be used.

ミラー1の組立誤差や加工誤差に起因する形状誤差を、この各アクチュエータ7で補正を行うと、形状誤差に応じて必要な力を常時出し続けなければならないので発熱が大きくなってしまい、ミラー1に意図しない変形をもたらしてしまう。しかし、補正ユニット2を用いて組立誤差や加工誤差に起因する形状誤差を補正することで、発熱することなく組立誤差や加工誤差に起因する形状誤差を補正することができる。これにより各アクチュエータは、投影光学系UMにおける光学収差の補正に必要な変形駆動量に対して必要な力のみを発生すればよくなるので、相対的に発熱を抑えることができる。さらに、一般的に第2実施形態のように複数のアクチュエータで変形駆動を行う光学装置20においてはミラー1に要求される加工精度は高くなるが、加工誤差を補正ユニット2で補正することができるので、ミラー1の加工時間及び加工コストを抑制できる。   If the actuator 7 corrects the shape error caused by the assembly error or processing error of the mirror 1, the necessary force must be continuously generated according to the shape error, so that the heat generation becomes large. Cause unintended deformation. However, by correcting the shape error caused by the assembly error or the machining error using the correction unit 2, the shape error caused by the assembly error or the machining error can be corrected without generating heat. As a result, each actuator only needs to generate a force necessary for the deformation driving amount necessary for correcting the optical aberration in the projection optical system UM, so that heat generation can be relatively suppressed. Further, in the optical device 20 that generally performs deformation driving with a plurality of actuators as in the second embodiment, the processing accuracy required for the mirror 1 is high, but the processing error can be corrected by the correction unit 2. Therefore, the processing time and processing cost of the mirror 1 can be suppressed.

次に、図5を用いて補正ユニット2及びアクチュエータ7の配置について説明する。図5は、図4の矢印Bの方向で光学装置20を見た正面図である。第2実施形態では、補正ユニット2及びアクチュエータ7をそれぞれ同一円周上に90°間隔で4箇所ずつ配置し、それとは別のさらに外側の円周上に45°間隔でさらに8箇所ずつ配置している。しかしながら、補正ユニット2及びアクチュエータ7の配置の配置はこれに限られるものではなく、補正したい光学収差によって個数および配置を変えてもよい。   Next, the arrangement of the correction unit 2 and the actuator 7 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a front view of the optical device 20 as viewed in the direction of arrow B in FIG. In the second embodiment, the correction unit 2 and the actuator 7 are arranged at four positions at intervals of 90 ° on the same circumference, respectively, and at eight places at intervals of 45 ° on a further outer circumference. ing. However, the arrangement of the correction unit 2 and the actuator 7 is not limited to this, and the number and arrangement may be changed depending on the optical aberration to be corrected.
