[産業上の利用分野]
本発明は半導体基板に集積回路の微細パターンを露光す
る縮小投影型露光装置、特に縮小投影レンズに関する。Detailed Description of the Invention 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a reduction projection type exposure apparatus for exposing a fine pattern of an integrated circuit onto a semiconductor substrate, and particularly to a reduction projection lens.
[従来の技術]
従来、この種装置の縮小投影レンズは大気圧雰囲気中に
配置していた。[Prior Art] Conventionally, the reduction projection lens of this type of apparatus has been placed in an atmospheric pressure atmosphere.
[発明が解決しようとする問題点]
上述した従来の縮小投影レンズを介してレチクル上の像
を投影する際、g線又はi線などを照射することにより
レンズ間の気体相の屈折率が変化する為、半導体基板上
に投影される像の倍率が変化するという欠点がある。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When projecting an image on a reticle through the conventional reduction projection lens described above, the refractive index of the gas phase between the lenses changes by irradiating with g-line or i-line. Therefore, there is a drawback that the magnification of the image projected onto the semiconductor substrate changes.
本発明の目的は半導体基板上に正確な倍率でレチクル上
の像を投影する縮小投影型露光装置を提供することにあ
る。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a reduction projection type exposure apparatus that projects an image on a reticle onto a semiconductor substrate at an accurate magnification.
[問題点を解決するための手段]
本発明はレンズ間を真空に保持した縮小投影レンズを有
することを特徴とする縮小投影型露光装置である。[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is a reduction projection type exposure apparatus characterized by having a reduction projection lens in which a vacuum is maintained between the lenses.
[実施例] 以下、本発明の一実施例を図により説明する。[Example] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
第1図において、縮小投影レンズは複数種のレンズ3.
3・・・を組合せて構成される。In FIG. 1, the reduction projection lens is a plurality of types of lenses 3.
It is constructed by combining 3...
本発明はこれらのレンズ3,3・・・を鏡筒7内に組込
み、各レンズ3の周縁に真空パツキン8.を取付けてレ
ンズ間を気密にし、そのレンズ間を真空に保持したもの
である。In the present invention, these lenses 3, 3, . . . are assembled into a lens barrel 7, and a vacuum packing 8. The space between the lenses is made airtight by attaching the lens, and a vacuum is maintained between the lenses.
実施例において、光(g線又はi線など)1がレチクル
2を通して縮小投影レンズ3に入って来る。この際縮小
レンズ3.3間の空間4が真空になっている為、縮小レ
ンズ間の空間4の温度上昇及び圧力変動等がなく、屈折
率も変わらない。その為光1は第1図の破線の様に曲げ
られることなく常に実線で示す光路を通ってXYステー
ジ6上の半導体基板5上に照射される。In the embodiment, light (such as g-line or i-line) 1 enters a reduction projection lens 3 through a reticle 2 . At this time, since the space 4 between the reduction lenses 3.3 is a vacuum, there is no temperature rise or pressure fluctuation in the space 4 between the reduction lenses, and the refractive index does not change. Therefore, the light 1 is not bent as shown by the broken line in FIG. 1, but always passes through the optical path shown by the solid line and is irradiated onto the semiconductor substrate 5 on the XY stage 6.
本発明によれば、実線で示す光路を通るから、誤差ΔX
を生じることがなく、正確な倍率でレチクル2上の像が
基板5上に投影される。According to the present invention, since the optical path passes through the solid line, the error ΔX
The image on the reticle 2 is projected onto the substrate 5 with accurate magnification without causing any distortion.
なお縮小投影レンズ内を真空に保つ方法として上記の実
施例では真空パツキン8を用いたが、常時真空ポンプで
真空に引く方式などの方式であっても、縮小投影レンズ
内を真空に保ってあれば同様の効果が得られる。Although the vacuum gasket 8 was used in the above embodiment as a method of keeping the inside of the reduction projection lens in a vacuum, even if a method such as a method of constantly drawing a vacuum with a vacuum pump is used, it is necessary to keep the inside of the reduction projection lens in a vacuum. A similar effect can be obtained.
[発明の効果]
以上説明した様に本発明は縮小投影レンズ間の空間を真
空に保つことにより、光路が光による熱の影響で曲げら
れるのを防ぐことができ、その為縮小投影レンズの倍率
を一定に保つことができる効果がある。[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention can prevent the optical path from being bent due to the influence of heat from light by keeping the space between the reduction projection lenses in a vacuum, and therefore the magnification of the reduction projection lenses can be reduced. This has the effect of keeping it constant.
第1図は本発明の実施例を示す構成図である。 FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.
