Further, a display device represented by a flat panel display (FPD) device is useful as an electronic device (in particular, a liquid crystal display device such as a thin film transistor (TFT), a color filter (CF), or the like. A method for obtaining a mask data, a method for displaying a quality of a mask for displaying a mask quality, a method for manufacturing an electronic device supporting the manufacture of such an electronic device, and a method for manufacturing an electronic device. [Prior Art] Now, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display Device) In the field of thin film transistor (hereinafter referred to as TFT), a Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (hereinafter referred to as TFT-LCD) is compared with a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube). It is easy to be thinner and consumes less power, so it is rapidly becoming commercialized. TFT-LCD has a schematic structure including a color filter for arranging pixel patterns of red, green, and blue for each pixel, in the liquid crystal layer. The TFT substrates having the structure in which the TFTs are arranged in the matrix and the respective elements in the matrix are vertically erected. The number of manufacturing steps of the TFT-LCD is large. The TFT substrate is manufactured using 5 to 6 masks. 2130-9836-PF; Ahddub 5 200912521 In the above case, a method of manufacturing a TFT substrate using four masks is provided. a light-shielding portion, a light-transmitting portion, and a photomask (hereinafter referred to as a gray scale mask) of the semi-transmissive portion (gray-scale portion), thereby reducing the number of used hoods. Here, the semi-transmissive portion is When the pattern is transferred onto the transfer target by the hood, the amount of transmission of the transmitted exposure light is reduced by a predetermined amount, and the amount of residual film after the development of the photoresist film on the transfer target is controlled within a predetermined range. The photomask having the semi-transmissive portion and the light-shielding portion 'light-transmitting portion is called a gray-scale photomask. The manufacturing steps of the TFT substrate using the above-described gray-scale photomask are as follows. The gate electrode is formed by a lithography process using a photomask, and a gate electrode is formed, and then a gate insulating film, a first semiconductor dielectric (a-Si: amorphous silicon oxide), and a second semiconductor film are formed ( N + a_Si), a metal film for source drain, and a positive photoresist film. And using a gray scale mask having a light shielding portion, a light transmitting portion, and a semi-light transmitting portion, exposing the positive resist film and developing the image, thereby forming a first photoresist pattern to cover the TFT channel portion and the source/pole a pole formation region and a data line formation region, and the channel portion formation region is thinner than the source/nopole formation region. The eighth first photoresist pattern is used as a hood, the source and the end metal film are used, and the second, f 1 Next, the thin photoresist film in the channel portion forming region is removed by ashing by oxygen to form a second photoresist pattern. Then, the second photoresist pattern serves as a light shield, and (4) a source/drain metal film forms a source. The pole/drain electrode etches the second semiconductor film, and finally removes the remaining second photoresist pattern. 2l3〇-9836'PF; Ahddub 6 200912521 In the manufacture of the photomask used in the manufacture of the above electronic device, the pattern shape and the film formed in the semi-transmissive portion are evaluated by evaluating the mask of the conventional device; Or film thickness. Based on the result of the evaluation, the shape and the like are corrected and changed to produce the next mask, thereby achieving an appropriate pattern shape, film material, and film thickness. In the case of evaluating a gray scale mask having a micro- and a pattern, a micro-photograph of a p = cover using a microscope using a predetermined light source is described in the patent document 1 (JP-A-2004-309327). The soft body is subjected to a hazy treatment on the transmitted light image to obtain a transmission image having a resolution equivalent to that of the exposure machine. This technique predicts the transmittance of the mask when the pattern is transferred to the photoresist film based on the above-described hazy transmitted light image. Further, the technique described in Patent Document 2 (JP-A-2003-307500) scans the semi-transmissive portion of the reticle to obtain a critical value of the transmittance, and evaluates it based on the critical value. 〇 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the manufacture of an electronic device using the above-described photomask, an exposure machine having a wavelength range of, for example, an i-g line is used, and an exposure step by a photomask is applied to the photoresist film provided on the transfer target. However, the shape of the resist pattern on the object to be transferred obtained by the above exposure is not necessarily fixed. For example, the wavelength characteristics of each exposure machine are different, and since the illumination of the exposure machine also changes over time, even if the same mask is used, the pattern of the light intensity of the transmission mask is not the same. In particular, the photomask has the following problems in the case of the gray scale mask having the semi-transmissive portion. 2130-9836-PF; Ahddub 7 200912521 First, when the actual exposure of the photomask is used, the transmittance of the semi-transmissive portion is different due to the spectral characteristics of the exposure machine. This is because when a film having a semi-transparent property of a predetermined material Z is used, the transmittance of the semi-translucent film has a wavelength dependency. Further, depending on the optical system of the exposure machine and the shape of the pattern formed on the gray scale mask, since the degree of influence of the refraction generated in the semi-transmissive portion is different, a difference occurs in the actual transmittance. Due to these main causes, the actual transmission through the semi-transmission

部的曝光光的透射率(以下稱作實效透射率)變動。特別 是,具有通道部微細化傾向的TFT的製造中,本發明者發 現不能忽視上述實效透射率的變動。在以下說明 具有形成以既定量減低曝光光再透射的半透光性的膜 的方法,作為灰階光罩的灰階部的形成方法。所謂半透光 性的膜,係透明基板的曝光光透射率為1〇〇%時,具有例如 2 0 %至6 0 %的透射率的膜。 灰階光罩中,灰階部中透射光強度為Ig,足夠廣的白 (透光)區域中的透射光強度為Iw,足夠廣的黑(遮光)區域 中的透射光強度為lb時,以下公式所示的值可以作為灰階 部的透射率。The transmittance of the exposure light (hereinafter referred to as the effective transmittance) varies. In particular, in the manufacture of a TFT having a tendency to refine the channel portion, the inventors have found that the fluctuation of the above-described effective transmittance cannot be ignored. In the following, a method of forming a film having a semi-translucent property for reducing the re-transmission of exposure light quantitatively is described as a method of forming a gray-scale portion of a gray scale mask. The semi-translucent film is a film having a transmittance of, for example, 20% to 60% when the exposure light transmittance of the transparent substrate is 1%. In the gray scale mask, the transmitted light intensity in the gray scale portion is Ig, the transmitted light intensity in the sufficiently wide white (light transmitting) region is Iw, and the transmitted light intensity in the sufficiently wide black (light blocking) region is lb. The value shown by the following formula can be used as the transmittance of the gray scale portion.

When the area of the part is small, the influence of the refraction cannot be ignored, and the pattern shape of the semi-transmissive portion is 2130-9836-PF; Ahddub 8 200912521 becomes—partially unresolved. Therefore, due to the light-shielding portion adjacent to the gray-scale portion or the light-transmitting portion In the actual exposure, the transmittance and the intrinsic transmittance of the semi-transmissive film are different. In other words, there is a case where the transmittance of the semi-transmissive film cannot be used as an effective value. For example, for the manufacture of a thin film transistor In the gray scale mask, the area corresponding to the channel portion is used as the gray scale portion, and the gray scale mask used is formed as a light shielding portion in the region of the source and the drain adjacent to the shape in which the gray scale portion is sandwiched. In the gray scale mask, as the area (width) of the channel portion becomes smaller, and the boundary between the adjacent light-shielding portions is dimmed (not resolved) in the actual exposure bar #τ, the transmittance ratio of the exposure light of the channel portion is smaller. The semi-transmissive film has a low intrinsic transmittance. In particular, an exposure machine for a large hood for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device is different from the step for manufacturing a semiconductor device, because the resolution is low, and the above problem is remarkable. In the exposure machine for a hood, the surface of the illuminator has a wide wavelength range of i-line to g-line in accordance with the amount of light of the resolution. When the spectral characteristics of the exposure machine are different, the variation factor becomes different depending on the resolution. More recently, in the (four) (four) crystal n (TFT), a technique of increasing the width of the liquid crystal by increasing the width of the channel portion by increasing the width of the channel portion or increasing the brightness of the liquid crystal by narrowing the channel portion or the size is proposed. In the gray scale mask of the above-mentioned thin germanium transistor, in addition to the transmittance of the semi-transmissive film itself, when the gray scale portion is formed, it can be said that it is necessary to consider the "effective transmission" defined under actual exposure conditions. In addition, as a gray-white β, a gray-scale mask having a fine light-shielding pattern having a size smaller than the resolution limit is formed. 'According to the spectral characteristics of the exposure machine, the degree of resolution of the fine pattern of 2130-9836-PF; Ahddub 200912521 is different. It has been found that it is necessary to consider the "effective transmittance" under actual exposure conditions. In the manufacture of electronic devices, it is necessary to obtain a line width having a predetermined size.

Thus, according to this specification, in the manufacture of a photomask, it is advantageous to manufacture a mask having a predetermined line width and a semi-transmissive portion which provides a practical transmittance of a predetermined photoresist residual film value. Here, the photomask may be of any of the following two types. The third type is a fine pattern type gray scale mask (referred to as a fine pattern type gray scale mask) which adjusts the transmission amount of exposure light according to a pattern having a line width equal to or lower than the analysis limit under exposure conditions. Type 2 A translucent exposure light-(4) semi-thin film is used to adjust a transmissive 4# half-gray type gray scale mask (referred to as a semi-transmissive film type gray scale mask). The inventors have found that, in actuality, the exposure conditions (specific exposure wavelength distribution, specific optical conditions) used in the manufacture of the electronic device, the specific mask pattern 'particularly the line width of the semi-transmissive film portion, and the like, and There is a result of evaluating the reticle with a narrow area 'fine part (for example, a portion of the pattern having a width of less than 3 μm) ^, or judging that the use of the reticle to manufacture the electronic device is conditional (the imaging condition of the sequel) (Conditions) The present invention is based on the optical system of the exposure machine provided by the above-mentioned actual conditions, and the reticle performance, flaws, and photoresists of the main causes, such as reflecting the illusion of the earth, the photographic characteristics of the light source, and the like.

Further, in order to manufacture a photomask of an electronic device, when the exposure of the photomask is performed using an exposure machine, in order to form a desired photoresist pattern on the photoresist film on the transfer target, the photomask is used in an actual exposure machine. Under the exposure conditions, you must know the characteristics of the mask. Under the above-mentioned practical application of the exposure conditions, the reticle is used as information, and if it is provided in association with the reticle as a product, it is extremely useful in the manufacture of electronic devices. From the above viewpoints, the present invention has the following findings. The hood user, if there is the above-mentioned reticle λ, can grasp, for example, whether the use of the own exposure machine can be stabilized and the desired photoresist pattern, or how to control the change when using the exposure machine itself.

[Embodiment] The following is a description of a preferred embodiment for carrying out the invention. [Outline of the method for obtaining the mask information according to the present invention] The method for obtaining the mask information according to the present invention is to use a mask that forms a predetermined transfer pattern on a transparent substrate, and expose the transfer body using an exposure device. At this time, the method of obtaining the mask information that is actually transferred to the pattern of the transfer target by the exposure of the exposure device can be predicted based on the light intensity of the light transmitted by the photomask captured by the photographing device. Here, the transfer-receiving system forms a desired film in a glass substrate or the like and is covered with a photoresist film. The photomask information of the present invention can be contained in a medium, and the media includes an electronic recording medium such as paper or memory. If it is an information recording medium, there is no limitation. More specifically, an exposure condition is obtained that approximates the exposure conditions of the exposure apparatus, whereby the mask of the reticle or the reticle is exposed, and the resulting reticle contains information obtained from the transmitted light pattern. Thus, the reticle information and the mask are corresponding. In the so-called correspondence, a method may be employed in which the mask information includes information corresponding to the mask, or information corresponding to the mask information is displayed in the mask. , ° The so-called exposure conditions are approximate, for example, the exposure wavelength is similar. In the case where the exposure light has a wavelength region, the exposure wavelength of the maximum light intensity may be the same. More preferably, 2130-9836-PF; Ahddub 19 200912521 exposure conditions having the same wavelength region as the actual exposure wavelength can be selected. Further, the so-called exposure condition approximation also includes an optical system approximation. For example, the NA (number of openings) of the imaging system is slightly the same, or (7 (synonymous) is slightly the same. Here, the so-called NA is the same as the να of the actual exposure machine, and is not applied for obtaining the mask information. The optical system is ΝΑ±〇〇〇5. The so-called σ is the same, for the σ of the exposure machine to be implemented, for example, the range of gentry. 〇5. Also 'not only the imaging system, but also the illumination system. with.

Further, in the present invention, the transmitted light pattern data of the photomask is obtained under exposure conditions under actual exposure conditions, but the approximate exposure conditions may be any one of the exposure wavelength and the exposure optical system. More preferably, the exposure wavelength and exposure optical system are similar. Alternatively, the mask information may contain conditions that most closely approximate the actual exposure, and the pattern data of each transmitted light is included when a plurality of different conditions are applied. For example, the transmitted light pattern data when the exposure light intensity and the spectral characteristics are changed may be included in the mask information together with the conditions similar to the above exposure. In one aspect of the invention, the test mask similar to the mask may be made of the same material as the above-mentioned cover (the material and the film thickness of the transparent substrate and the semi-transmissive film, and the thickness of the film is approximately 1). For example, the pattern of the transfer pattern contained in the mask _' corresponds to the transfer portion of the semi-transmissive portion of the light-shielding portion, and includes the same shape and the same line width. The patterned test reticle conforms to the above-mentioned reticle.

The above-mentioned mask information, such as a mask using a fine pattern in the semi-transmissive portion, is useful in grasping the change in transmittance due to the change as the line width of the fine pattern. On the other hand, in the case of the photomask portion in which the semi-transmissive film is used in the semi-transmissive portion, it is useful to grasp the change in the line width-transmittance of the semi-transmissive portion itself. An example of a test reticle to which the present invention can be applied will be described later. In the photomask of the present invention, the semi-transmissive portion transmits a portion of the portion of the exposure light. This portion includes a semi-translucent film formed on the transparent substrate, or a size (4) fine pattern which is equal to or less than the analysis limit of the light-shielding film under exposure conditions, and a fine pattern formed by a semi-translucent film. This portion further includes a case where the light transmitting portion sandwiched by the light shielding portion and having a size below the analysis limit function as a semi-transmissive portion. In the present invention, the Hu transmittance pattern data is data formed by a transmitted light pattern obtained by a photographing device, or data obtained by adding other information to the obtained transmitted light pattern. The transmittance pattern data may be, for example, a change in the size of the region of the semi-transmissive portion (the width of the semi-transmissive portion sandwiched by the light-shielding portion, etc.), and a change in the amount of transmission of the exposure light'. It is a data on the change in the amount of exposure light and the change in the amount of transmission of the exposure light. It is also possible to attach a photo-resistance treatment 2130-9836-PF/Ahddub 21 200912521 condition (development condition, etc.) at the time of actually forming a photoresist pattern using a photomask. The transmittance pattern data, for example, as described later, may be the data shown by the curve of the figure. Further, in the present invention, as described above, the ratio of the transmitted light in the semi-transmissive portion to the transmitted light in the transmissive portion is referred to as the coherent transmittance in the exposure material which is actually applied to the exposure of the mask. In the semi-transmissive portion, when there is a practical transmittance distribution, the peak serves as an effective transmittance for convenience. This value relates to the residual photoresist film value of the above-described portion of the photoresist pattern formed on the object to be transferred using the above-described reticle. In the case of the semi-transmissive portion, that is, when the transmittance of the light that is transmitted through the light-transmitting portion under the above-described exposure conditions is 100%, the transmittance is larger than 1% by weight (larger than 〇). The semi-transmissive portion preferably has an actual transmittance of from 2 〇 to 6 〇%. Therefore, the photoresist film of the photoresist pattern is made to have a different thickness from the portion corresponding to the light transmitting portion or the light shielding portion. Then, the transmittance of the film is such that the film formed on the transparent substrate has an amount of transmitted light which is set as the incident light amount with respect to the wavelength of the exposure light and the film formation surface of the exposure machine. That is, the wavelength of the exposure light and the optical conditions of the exposure machine (the clear system, the NA of the imaging system, 4), and the degree of the light transmission (four) do not affect the degree of the area of the film formation surface, the effective transmittance and the above The inherent transmittance under the exposure strip is equal. Further, for example, 'if the area of the semi-transmissive portion forming the film is small, it is affected by the other portion (light-shielding portion 'light-transmitting portion) adjacent to the semi-transmissive portion, and the actual transmission of the exposure light under the exposure condition Rate, different 2130-9836-PF; Ahddub 22 200912521 Intrinsic transmittance in the film. In the mask information obtained by the present invention, the photoresist pattern on the transfer target is predicted based on the light intensity distribution of the hood transmission pattern obtained by the photographing device under the optical condition of the actual exposure machine. Or, the photoresist pattern can be variously analyzed and evaluated as a result of the size of the layer pattern of the processed layer processed by the mask and the shape variation caused by the variation of the transmittance of the mask. In particular, in the present invention, the pair of parallels in the resist pattern obtained by the exposure of the hood is presumed based on the effective transmittance of the center of the semi-transmissive region sandwiched by the edges of the pair of parallel light-shielding portions. The shape of the light-shielding portion corresponding to the region where the green color is cool, and the predetermined transmittance threshold value or the residual film value corresponding to the edge green of the parallel light-shielding portion can determine the exposure conditions. x, the mask information can be used to determine the conditions for development and etching of the exposed object after exposure. Fig. 1 is a graph showing the effect of the medium transmittance of the semi-transmissive β of the pair of parallel light-shielding portions, and the change thereof. As shown in Fig. 1, when the width of the semi-transmissive portion up lost by the edges of the pair of parallel shading pads SP1, SP2 is narrowed, the effective transmittance becomes lower, and the flat shading portion SP is SP2. The width of the semi-transmissive portion Hp sandwiched by the edge is widened, and the transmittance is only changed. Therefore, in the test exposure of the reticle, when the effective transmittance of the semi-light portion is higher than the taught transmittance, the correction of narrowing the width of the semi-first portion (the distance between the parallel opaque portions) can be performed. In the test exposure of the _mask, when the effective transmittance of the semi-transmissive portion is lower than the desired transmittance, the width of the transparent portion of the material can be performed (a 2130-9836-PF/Ahddub 〇3 200912521 parallel) The distance between the shades is widened. On the other hand, when the in-plane unevenness of the line width of the semi-transmissive portion of the mask of the cymbal is present, referring to the first figure, the variation of the line width is derived, and the change of the effective transmittance can be known first in the actual exposure. In which range. Further, the relationship between the width of the semi-transmissive portion and the effective transmittance is varied depending on the exposure conditions as shown in the first drawing. Therefore, the mask user can estimate the formed photoresist residual film before the exposure. Moreover, here, if the film design of the semi-transmissive film type gray scale reticle (the thickness of the semi-transmissive film, the determination of the film material) is changed, the film design and the effective transmittance are changed due to the change in the effective transmittance. The correlation between the two can be included in the reticle information of the present invention. Moreover, the reticle information obtained by the method of obtaining the reticle information includes information not only on the reticle of the final product but also on the middle of the reticle. Further, in the reticle, not only a gray scale mask using a semi-transmissive film but also a gray scale mask using a fine pattern is included. The photomask of the present invention can be produced as follows. That is, a blank mask in which a semi-transmissive film and a light-shielding film are sequentially stacked is prepared on the transparent substrate. In the blank mask, a photoresist pattern is formed in a region corresponding to the light shielding portion and the semi-light transmitting portion, and the exposed light shielding film is etched by using the photoresist pattern as a light shielding mask. The light-receiving portion is formed by the above-mentioned photoresist pattern or light-shielding film as a light-shielding film by the semi-transmissive film exposed by the contact. Next, at least in a region including a portion to be a light-shielding portion, a photoresist pattern is formed, and the light-resisting pattern is used as a light-shielding mask, and a semi-transmissive portion and a light-shielding portion are formed by a light-shielding film which is exposed by a surname. Therefore, on the transparent substrate, a light-shielding portion composed of a semi-transparent ytterbium, a semi-transmissive film, and a light-shielding film, and a light-shielding portion formed of a light-transmitting portion are formed. 2130-9836-PF; Ahddub 24 200912521 Further, the photomask of the present invention can also be produced as follows. That is, a blank mask for forming a light shielding film is prepared on the transparent substrate. In the blank mask, a photoresist pattern is formed in a region corresponding to the light-shielding portion, and the light-shielding film is formed by etching the exposed light-shielding film as the light-shielding pattern. Next, a semi-transmissive film is formed entirely on the substrate after the photoresist pattern is removed. Then, a photoresist pattern is formed in a region corresponding to the semi-transmissive portion (or the semi-transmissive portion and the light-shielding portion), and the light-resisting portion is formed by etching the exposed semi-transparent film as the light-shielding mask. And a semi-transmissive portion. Therefore, on the transparent substrate, a light-shielding portion composed of a semi-transmissive portion, a stacked film of the light-shielding film and the semi-transmissive film, and a photomask formed of the light-transmitting portion can be obtained. Further, the photomask of the present invention can also be manufactured as follows. In other words, in the blank mask on which the light-shielding film is formed on the transparent substrate, a photoresist pattern is formed in a region corresponding to the light-shielding portion and the light-transmitting portion, and the photoresist pattern is used as a light-shielding mask, and the exposed light-shielding film is exposed to expose A transparent substrate in the region of the semi-transmissive portion. Next, after removing the photoresist pattern, a semi-transmissive film is formed on the entire surface of the substrate, and a photoresist pattern is formed in a region corresponding to the light-shielding portion and the semi-transmissive portion, and the light-resisting pattern is used as a light-shield, and the semi-transparent light is exposed by etching. The film (and the semi-transmissive film and the light-shielding film) can form a light transmitting portion, a light blocking portion, and a semi-light transmitting portion. Further, as described above, the gray scale mask may have a semi-transmissive portion in which the transmittance is adjusted in accordance with the fine pattern of the light-shielding film. In the present invention, the quality display includes the addition of the reticle information as an attachment information of the reticle, or a communication means to convey and reveal in a state in which the reticle and the reticle information correspond. The communication means can be constituted by a communication circuit and a physical medium. 2130-9836-PF; Ahddub 25 200912521 [Configuration of information acquisition means used in the present invention] In the method of acquiring the mask information, as shown in Fig. 2, an inspection apparatus can be used. In the inspection apparatus, the mask 3 is held by the mask holding portion 3a. In the reticle maintaining portion 3a, the main surface of the reticle 3 is slightly displaced, and the lower end portion and the side edge portion of the reticle 3 are supported, and the reticle 3 is tilted to maintain the solid state. The reticle maintaining portion 3a can maintain a large size (e.g., a main plane 1 220 with (mm) x 14 mm, a thickness of 13 dragons) and various sizes of the reticle 3 in the reticle 3 . In other words, in the reticle maintaining portion 3a, the lower end portion of the reticle 3 which mainly supports the main plane in a slightly vertical state can support the lower end portion of the reticle 3 with the same supporting member even if the size of the reticle 3 is different. = Here, the so-called slightly wrong straight, that is, the angle of leaving the straight line as shown in Fig. 2: within about 1 degree. Further, it is better to leave the vertical angle in the color range of 2 to 10 degrees and more preferably in the range of 4 to 10 degrees. Then, by holding the mask of the tilt mask 3 in the overhang of the mask 3, π, I (10) prevent the mask 3 from falling over and stably maintain and fix the mask 3. Further, when the hood 4 is completely vertical, the total amount of the reticle 3 is concentrated on the lower _ and the possibility of damaging the reticle 3 is increased. By borrowing the soil: the maintenance portion % of the tilting cover 3, the weight of the photomask 3 is dispersed by the support of J, and the damage of the material 3 can be prevented. In the plurality of inspection devices, since the main plane of the light 13 is maintained as described above to suppress an increase in the installation area of the inspection device, it is possible to suppress the particles from falling onto the mask.

For example, in the inspection apparatus, when the light intensity distribution is obtained in the exposure conditions of the same light intensity ratio of the g line, the h line, and the i line, the light intensity ratio of the g line, the h line, and the i line can be determined to be 1: + Light intensity distribution at the time of exposure under light conditions. Therefore, the inspection device also includes the illumination source type used in the exposure device, the individual difference, and the intensity variation per wavelength generated by the illumination used in the exposure device over time, and can evaluate the exposure conditions of the actual (4) optical device towel. Further, in a device, when the residual film amount of the desired photoresist is assumed, the most appropriate exposure conditions that can be achieved can be easily obtained. In the method for obtaining the mask information according to the present invention, the illumination optical system 2 and the objective lens system 4 and the imaging unit 5 sandwich the light I 3 which is slightly misaligned to maintain the main plane. (here, the ray mask) is disposed in each of the positions of the cymbals, and the inspection light is irradiated and received in a state where the optical axes of the two are aligned. These illumination optical systems 2, the objective lens system*, and the camera 邛5' can support possible movement operations by a moving operation unit not shown. The movement operation unit causes the illumination optical system 2 to match the optical axes of the objective lens system 4 and the imaging unit 5 with each other (4), and can move the main plane of the reticle 3 in parallel with the inspection device, and set such movement. In the operation unit, even when the large reticle is inspected, it is not necessary to move the reticle 3 in the parallel direction on the principal plane. The main plane of the reticle 3 can be completely inspected, and X can selectively check the desired portion on the principal plane. 2130-9836-PF; Ahddub 28 200912521 Therefore, in the inspection apparatus, the control unit, the mirror system 4, and the photographing unit 5 can be divided into a mechanism, and the object knife is moved in the direction of the first axis to the objective lens system 4 and the photographing unit 5 They can be changed independently to each other by a relative distance.

Then, the control unit of the inspection device controls the illumination optical system field stop 2-2, the aperture mechanism 2, and the opening, the opening mechanism 4, the movement mechanism, and the movement operation unit. In the method for obtaining the mask information using the inspection apparatus described above, the number of openings (NA) and the threshold value (the ratio of the number of openings of the illumination optical system 2 to the number of openings of the objective lens system 4) are maintained at a predetermined value. In the state of the moon, "the system 2, the objective lens system 4, and the imaging unit are in the optical axis state" while moving in the planar direction on the principal plane of the mask 3 maintained by the mask holding portion 3 The objective lens system 4 and the photographing unit 5 can be independently moved in the optical axis direction. [Target mask of the present invention] The target mask of the method for obtaining the mask information according to the present invention is not a completed mask. Also, the intermediate body in the middle of manufacturing the reticle is used as a product, and the type and use of the reticle are not particularly limited. That is, it is possible to inspect the main surface of the transparent substrate to have a light shielding portion, a light transmitting portion, and a semi-light transmitting portion ( a gray scale mask of the gray scale portion. Further, the gray scale portion includes a semi-transmissive portion forming a semi-transmissive film, and 2130-9836-PF; Ahddub 29 200912521 produces a fine pattern below the analysis limit under exposure conditions. Both grayscale parts. The step hood includes both: a photomask having a gray scale portion (a semi-transmissive film type gray scale mask), and the amount of transmitted light forming the exposure light in the gray scale portion is smaller than 100% (for example, 40 to 60%) a translucent film; and a photomask (fine pattern gray scale hood) having a gray scale portion, which has a light-shielding property or a semi-transparent fine pattern having an analytical limit or lower under exposure conditions, thereby reducing transmission [About the gray scale mask] Here, a gray scale mask to be inspected in the inspection apparatus of the photomask according to the present invention will be described. A liquid crystal display device having a TFT, that is, a TFT_LCD, is compared with a cathode ray officer ( CRT) is now widely used due to its advantages of being easy to be thinner and consumes less power. The TFT-LCD has a TFT substrate in which TFTs are arranged in a matrix arranged in a matrix, and corresponding to each pixel arrangement red (R) The color filter of the green (G) and blue (B) pixel patterns has a structure in which the liquid crystal layers are vertically overlapped with each other. The TFT-LCD described above has a large number of manufacturing steps and a TFT substrate. Made with 5 to 6 masks. Next, it is possible to manufacture a TFt substrate by using four masks. This method uses a gray scale mask having a light shielding portion, a light transmitting portion, and a gray scale portion, thereby reducing the number of hoods used. And Fig. 4 shows an example of a manufacturing process of a TFT substrate using a gray scale mask. First, as shown in Fig. 3(a), a metal film for a gate electrode is formed on the glass substrate 2?1. 'The gate electrode 202 is formed by a lithography imaging step using a photomask. Then, a gate insulating film 2〇3' is formed in order to form a first semiconductor 2130-9836-PF; Ahddub 30 200912521 film U-Si) 204, 2 a semiconductor film (N + a_Si) 2 〇 5, a source/drain metal film 206, and a positive type resist film 2 〇 7. Next, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the positive-type resist film 2〇7 is exposed by using a gray scale mask 1 having the light-shielding portion 1〇1, the light-transmitting portion 102, and the gray-scale portion 103. Development, the i-th photoresist pattern 2〇7A is formed. The i-th photoresist pattern 2〇7 8 covers the TFT channel portion, the source drain formation region, and the data line formation region, and the TFT channel portion formation region is thinner than the source/drain formation region. (Currently, as shown in FIG. 3(c), the first photoresist pattern 2A7A serves as a light shield to etch the source/drain metal film 2?6 and the second and ith semiconductor films 205 and 204. Next, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the photoresist pattern 207 is entirely reduced by oxygen ashing, and the thin photoresist film of the channel portion forming region is removed to form the second photoresist pattern 207B. As shown in (b) of the figure, the second photoresist pattern 2 0 7B serves as a light shield, and the source/drain metal film 2 〇6 is etched to form the source/drain electrodes 206A and 206B, and the second semiconductor film 2 is etched second. 5. After C., as shown in (c) of FIG. 4, the remaining second photoresist pattern 207ββ is used. The gray scale mask 100 used herein has a corresponding source/汲 as shown in FIG. The extreme light-shielding portions 101A, 101β, the light-transmitting portion 1〇2, and the gray-scale portion 103 corresponding to the tft channel portion. The gray-scale portion 1〇3 is an exposure condition of an exposure device for a large LCD using a gray scale mask 1〇〇. Next, a region formed by the light-shielding pattern 103A composed of fine patterns having a lower limit is analyzed. The light-shielding portions 1〇1Α, 1〇1β, and the light-shielding pattern 103A are usually made of chromium or chromium. A film of the same thickness composed of the same material is formed. The resolution limit of the exposure device using a large-scale lcd of the above gray scale mask is about 3# 2130-9836-PF/Ahddub 31 200912521 m in the stepwise exposure apparatus (:m), about 4" melon in the exposure apparatus of the mirror projection type. Therefore, the width of the transmission portion 103β and the line width of the light-shielding pattern 103Α in the ash white portion 1〇3 are the exposures of the exposure devices, respectively. For example, less than 3 #m below the analysis limit under the condition. The design of the gray pattern portion 1〇3 of the fine pattern type is used to have a semi-transparent relationship between the light-shielding portions 101A and 101B and the light-transmitting portion 1〇2. The fine pattern of the light (grayscale effect) has a line and pitch type, or is made as a dot (mesh) type, or as a choice of other patterns. x, if it is a line and a pitch type, What is the β-line width, the ratio of the light-transmissive portion to the light-shielding portion, and the degree of transmittance of the entire light, etc. The semi-transmissive film type gray scale mask can be manufactured, for example, as follows. Describe the pattern of the TFT substrate. This pattern, such as the third ( b) the gray scale 形成 formed by the pattern of the light-shielding portion 1 formed by the pattern of the source and the wave of the corresponding TFT substrate corresponding to the channel of the TFT substrate, and the light-transmitting portion 1 formed around the patterns 〇2 is composed of a blank hood in which a semi-transmissive film and a light-shielding film are sequentially formed on a transparent substrate, and a photoresist 形成 is formed on the blank hood. Secondly, pattern drawing is performed by imaging A photoresist pattern is formed in a region of the light-shielding portion and the gray-scale portion of the corresponding pattern. Secondly, the light-shielding film of the region corresponding to the light-transmitting portion where the photoresist pattern is not formed and the semi-transmissive film of the lower layer thereof are removed by etching by an appropriate method. Form a pattern. Therefore, the light transmitting portion 102 is formed, and at the same time, the light shielding portion 1?1 of the pattern is formed with the light shielding pattern of the region corresponding to the gray scale portion 103. Therefore, after removing the remaining photoresist pattern, a photoresist film is formed on the substrate, and a pattern cat drawing is performed, 32 2l30-9836-PF; Ahddub 200912521 is developed by the image in the region corresponding to the light-shielding portion 1〇1 of the pattern. Formation of photoresist pattern 0 Next, only a light-shielding film of a region where the gray scale portion of the photoresist pattern is not formed is removed by appropriate etching. Thereby, the gray scale portion 103 produced by the pattern of the semi-transmissive film is formed, and at the same time, the pattern of the light blocking portion 1〇1 is formed.

The pattern shape formed on the hood in the gray scale mask affects the thickness of the photoresist film formed on the transfer target by the exposure of the hood and the shape of the photoresist film. For example, it is not only the evaluation of the planar pattern shape, but also the light transmittance of the gray-scale portion Μ, how the light transmission amount of the boundary of the gray-scale portion and the light-shielding portion is prominent (clear or hazy) ). ... In particular, in the case of a gray scale mask having a gray scale portion formed by a fine pattern, when the photomask is actually exposed, the fine pattern is not analyzed, and the degree of transmittance which is substantially uniform - is not Used in the parsing state. During the manufacturing process of the hood or during the pre-shipment phase, it is more necessary to check this status during the stage of defect correction. According to the photomask of the present invention, in the method of picking up the light, the amount of exposure light in the transmission gray scale portion is reduced, and the amount of exposure of the photoresist in this region is reduced to approximate the actual exposure. Under the condition that the guzzle is dry, the gray-scale reticle inspection for selectively changing the thickness of the photoresist film is performed, and the reticle pattern obtained by the actual exposure can be predicted from the & && shape. For example, Figure 6 shows the transmission light distribution of the gray-scale reticle of the gray-scale reticle when changing the exposure conditions; Ahddub 200912521. The pattern shown in Fig. 6 shows a pattern of two light-shielding portions (corresponding to the source and the drain of the TFT) and a semi-transmissive portion (corresponding channel portion) provided adjacent to the two light-shielding portions and provided at the center portion. Here, in the central semi-transmissive portion, the reforming limit of the exposure machine is formed by a pattern in which the line width is lowered (in the horizontal direction, the fine light transmitting portion is arranged - the fine light blocking portion - the fine light transmitting portion). Here, the optical system of the four-stage resolution is further used, and the higher the resolution of the transmitted light pattern is, the lower the resolution is, and the lower portion of the 帛6 pattern shows that the peak of the transmitted light pattern curve becomes lower. The concentration of this portion shows the "effective transmittance" of this portion when the gray scale mask is used, so the residual film amount of the photoresist film formed by the gray scale portion is affected. In this 4 resolution condition, the closer to the right, the closer the conditions of the actual exposure machine. Therefore, according to the transmitted light pattern shown in the lower stage of Fig. 6, it is possible to grasp the exposure conditions suitable for the exposure of the gray scale mask, and the correlation of the shape of the photoresist pattern on the object to be transferred by the exposure conditions. . Further, when a photographed image is obtained in an unanalyzed state under the above-described actual exposure conditions, it is necessary to perform an appropriate calculation to evaluate the sharpness of the boundary portion between the channel portion and the source and the non-polar portion, and it is also possible to predict the photoresist. The three-dimensional shape. In the second embodiment, for example, the mask 3 having the semi-transmissive portion formed of the fine pattern having the analysis limit or less is provided in the inspection device, for example, by the number of openings and the σ of the objective lens system 4 The predetermined value approximate to the exposure machine actually used is the same as that in the case where the pattern is transferred by the actual exposure in the image pickup surface in the photographing device 5, and the image of 2130-9836-PF in the non-analytical state of the fine pattern is obtained; Ahddub 34 200912521 image. Therefore, the captured image data is processed by the calculation unit, and the transmitted light pattern of the hood pattern can be obtained. The transmitted light pattern from the transmitted light pattern - batting can be part of the reticle information of the present invention. The mask information may further contain information on the margin value of the allowable range of the transmittance of the semi-transmissive portion of the reticle. [About test reticle] According to the reticle information of the present invention, the change in exposure conditions (having a correlation with the line width CD of the pattern), with the inherent transmittance of the semi-transmissive film (depending on film thickness, film quality) The change may include a tendency of a change in the effective transmittance of the semi-transmissive portion. The above information can be expressed, for example, as a curve of a graph. Here, the predetermined transmittance conditions (exposure amount) and the like, the intrinsic transmittance of the semi-transmissive film, the line width of the & variable pattern, and the dependence of the effective transmission f on this. In Fig. 13(b), the line width of the channel portion (semi-transmissive portion) is indicated by the horizontal axis, and the effective transmittance is indicated by the vertical axis. Further, n : indicates the pattern data of the real hood, and T1 ± x% and T1 ± y% * indicate the inherent transmittance of the film. ^ As described above, in order to change the specific transmittance of the semi-transmissive film used in the mask, the change in the effective transmittance due to the shape (line width, etc.) of the pattern is included in the mask information, as previously in the seventh As shown in an example in the figure, the light transmission pattern data can be obtained by using the test mask U. For example, the following can be used as the test reticle of the approximate reticle of the present invention. The test mask 11' changes in accordance with the shape of the pattern to grasp the change in the effective transmittance. The reticle information obtaining method using the exposure means for simulating the above exposure machine is used to accurately and quickly obtain a transmission pattern of 2130-9836-PF and Ahddub 35 200912521 according to a plurality of pattern shapes. In addition, or, in addition, the "spectral sensitivity characteristics of the shadow portion, etc., the spectral sensitivity of the photoresist film, and the factor of the factor of the photographing, the use of the test mask 3 cannot be used with the exposure machine condition.

That is, each unit pattern 歹 " to the good or Y direction ice pull ", into the square ~, # column order according to - Each of the early patterns 13 is covered by a light-shielding belly. +Remaining, the material is formed into the soap pattern 13 in the γ-axis direction 7Q shown in the 8th (a) a~u". In the light-transmitting portion 改变 of the changed clip, the pattern of the it-pitch in the pattern 13 formed by the light-shielding film. - In the unit pattern 13 of each unit, the pair of light-shielding portions on both sides are called '21 in the 8th (4) figure. The line width of the shading line formed in the center of the light transmitting portion 2l30-9836-PF; Ahddub 36 200912521 13~2 is shown in the "axis direction", in the x-axis direction, to "丨~21" Further, each of the early patterns 13' may be formed of a light-shielding film and a semi-transmissive film. In this case, the early pattern 13 is sandwiched between the _ pair of light-shielding portions whose width changes. a pattern formed by a semi-transmissive film. gp, a region formed by a semi-transmissive film, which is a region sandwiched by edges of a pair of parallel light-shielding portions (semi-transmissive portion) By arranging the unit pattern 13 as described above, as shown in Fig. 8(b), it is possible to approximate the mask in which the transmittance of the gray scale portion sandwiched by the light shielding portion is gradually increased. For example, the channel portion in the thin film transistor is formed. The gray scale mask used can approximate the state in which the light transmittance of the gray scale portion is gradually changed. On the other hand, in each unit pattern row 13, the line of the light shielding portion on both sides of the u"' is attached in the γ direction. For example, in the gray scale mask for forming the channel portion in the thin film transistor, as shown in Fig. 8(b), the width of the channel portion can be approximated. Further, here, For the reason described later, the line width variation pitch ' of the pair of light shielding portions in each unit pattern row 13 is preferably equal to the line width variation pitch of the central light shielding line. On the other hand, the unit pattern row 13 thus arranged, through the observation and evaluation of the oblique direction, can evaluate the line width (CD (Cri1: ical Dimensi〇n)) of the hood to be transferred. To the influence of the transferred body. For example, the arrangement of "al, b2, c3..." changes the pattern shape with a certain rule. This rule is that the central shading line is tapered at a certain pitch, and the line widths of the shading portions on both sides are also spaced at a certain interval. Thinning. It is possible to approximate the CD variation of the reticle caused by various factors such as factors in the mask manufacturing step (the line width is increased in size or reduced in size). 37 2l30-9836-PF; Ahddub 200912521 Therefore, when the method for obtaining the reticle information according to the present invention is implemented by using the S-type reticle described above, the light intensity distribution obtained by the inspection device is performed with the same s-type reticle. The correlation between the photoresist patterns on the transferred body obtained by the exposure can be grasped in the relationship with the change in the shape of each pattern.

The transmitted light intensity distribution data of the test mask produced by a plurality of different conditions provides a comparison with the photoresist pattern produced by the actual exposure of the test mask, thereby obtaining more information. For example, the irradiation is performed while the number of openings (NA) is changed quantitatively, or the number of openings (NA) or the consistency (σ) is quantitatively changed. The light intensity distribution data of the transmitted light obtained as described above can be accumulated as a database. Some or all of this database can be used as a mask information. [About the spectral characteristics of the inspection light (丨)] Then, as the light source 1 (Fig. 2) in this inspection apparatus, the exposure light in the exposure apparatus which is the same as the exposure actually performed, and preferably, is emitted with a slightly equal wavelength. Distributed light source for inspection light. Specifically, the inspection light, as shown in FIG. 11(a), includes at least one of a g line (wavelength 436 nm (nanometer)), an h line (405 nm), or an i line (365 nm), or includes All of these wavelength components may be combined light of any two or more of these wavelength components. Usually, FPD manufactures 2130-9836-PF; when the large hood for Ahddub 39 200912521 is exposed, since the synthesized light of these wavelengths is used as the exposure light, the inspection device t applies the synthesized light in the desired light intensity ratio, This can be a condition for approximating the exposure conditions. Then, the inspection light is transmitted through the wavelength selective filter 6 (Fig. 2) of the optical filter or the like, and the mixture ratio of the respective wavelength components on the mask 3 is adjusted by irradiation to the mask 3. As shown in Fig. 11(b), a filter having a characteristic of cutting a light beam of a predetermined wavelength or lower or a predetermined wavelength or more can be used as the wavelength selection filter 6. In this inspection apparatus, the wavelength distribution of the inspection light emitted by the light source i is equal to or slightly the same as the wavelength distribution of the exposure light in the exposure apparatus, and can be an exposure condition approximate to the actual exposure condition. Further, in the inspection apparatus, as shown in 帛n(c), it is possible to selectively use a first illuminator having a characteristic of transmitting only the g line emitted from the light source 1 (Fig. 2), and having only transmission.

Further, by using the control device as the calculation device, the above calculation can be performed by the control device. According to this method, the transmitted light pattern of the reticle under the exposure conditions of the actual exposure conditions can be obtained. [Regarding the spectral characteristics of the inspection light (2)] The inspection light emitted from the light source 1 of the inspection device, even if it has a wavelength distribution of the exposure light different from the exposure device, as described below, the transmitted light of the exposure state in the approximate exposure device can be obtained. pattern.

Further, when the spectral characteristics of the exposure apparatus, that is, the spectral distribution of the light source of the exposure apparatus and the spectral transmittance of each optical element of the exposure apparatus, the coefficients u, V, and W corresponding to these spectral characteristics can be determined first. For example, the light intensity of the h line when the intensity of the g line is 1 · 0 (for example, 91. 91 0 4 ) and the light intensity of the i line (for example, 1 _ 0 7 4 6) can be used. The intensity ratio (for example, 0.335: 0.305: 0.360) is taken as the coefficient u, v, w.
