Abstract
Description
本發明涉及一種轉移方法及光罩,其使用鐳射照射而將位於供體基板上的對象物高精度地轉移到受體基板上(LIFT:Laser Induced Forward Transfer鐳射誘導向前轉移)。The present invention relates to a transfer method and a photomask, which use laser irradiation to transfer an object located on a donor substrate to a receptor substrate with high precision (LIFT: Laser Induced Forward Transfer).
以往有一種技術,其向供體基板上的有機EL(電致發光)層照射鐳射並將其轉移到對置的電路基板上。作為該技術,在專利文獻1中公開了一種技術:將一個鐳射轉換為具有矩形形狀的強度分佈均勻的多個矩形鐳射,將它們串列且等間隔配置,以隔開一定時間以上且重疊規定次數的方式向供體基板的規定的區域照射多個矩形鐳射,使該鐳射被位於供體基板和有機EL層間的金屬箔吸收而產生彈性波,將由此剝離的有機EL層轉移到對置的電路基板上。Conventionally, there is a technology for irradiating an organic EL (electroluminescent) layer on a donor substrate with laser light and transferring it to an opposing circuit substrate. As such technology, Patent Document 1 discloses a technology in which a single laser light is converted into a plurality of rectangular laser lights having a uniform intensity distribution and arranged in series at equal intervals, and a predetermined area of the donor substrate is irradiated with the plurality of rectangular laser lights at intervals of a predetermined time or more and overlapped a predetermined number of times, so that the laser light is absorbed by a metal foil between the donor substrate and the organic EL layer to generate an elastic wave, and the organic EL layer peeled off thereby is transferred to the opposing circuit substrate.
在該技術中使用如下的結構:在供體基板和電路基板之間夾持將80~100[μm]作為適當值的間隔件,把將供體基板和電路基板的間隔保持為固定的狀態並一體化的構件放置在一個臺上,並使其相對於鐳射進行掃描。但是,在該情況下,除了另外需要使對置的供體基板和電路基板一體化的工序以外,還需要與電路基板尺寸相同的供體基板,並且伴隨電路基板的大型化的需要,需要增加製造成本和裝置的大型化。This technology uses a structure in which a spacer having a suitable value of 80 to 100 [μm] is sandwiched between a donor substrate and a circuit substrate, and a member that keeps the distance between the donor substrate and the circuit substrate fixed and integrated is placed on a stage, and scanned relative to the laser. However, in this case, in addition to the need for a separate process to integrate the opposing donor substrate and circuit substrate, a donor substrate of the same size as the circuit substrate is required, and the circuit substrate needs to be enlarged, which increases the manufacturing cost and the size of the device.
同樣,作為將供體基板上的有機EL層向對置的電路基板轉移的技術,在專利文獻2中公開了如下的技術:將光吸收層設置在供體基板和有機EL層之間,使該光吸收層吸收照射的鐳射而產生衝擊波,將供體基板上的有機EL層向設置有10~100[μm]的間隔並對置的電路基板轉移。但是,專利文獻2未公開鐳射的掃描方法和實現其的台結構,而且也未公開轉移裝置。因此,專利文獻2不能作為用於維持並提高能夠與電路基板的大型化對應的轉移位置精度的技術來進行參照。Similarly, as a technology for transferring an organic EL layer on a donor substrate to an opposing circuit substrate, Patent Document 2 discloses the following technology: a light absorbing layer is provided between the donor substrate and the organic EL layer, and the light absorbing layer absorbs the irradiated laser light to generate a shock wave, thereby transferring the organic EL layer on the donor substrate to the opposing circuit substrate provided with a gap of 10 to 100 [μm]. However, Patent Document 2 does not disclose a laser scanning method and a stage structure for realizing the same, and does not disclose a transfer device. Therefore, Patent Document 2 cannot be used as a reference for maintaining and improving the transfer position accuracy that can correspond to the enlargement of the circuit substrate.
此外,在專利文獻3中公開了一種在用於半導體器件製造的曝光裝置中與步進掃描法相關的技術。其基本考慮方式如下:邊跳過中途的幾個照射區域邊間歇地對沿著晶片台的掃描曝光方向的一列照射區域進行曝光,並且在其中途不使晶片台停止。即,專利文獻3公開了一種曝光裝置,其包括:中間光罩台,保持中間光罩;晶片台,保持晶片;以及投影光學系統,將中間光罩的圖案向晶片投影,邊使中間光罩台和晶片台一起相對於投影光學系統掃描邊進行曝光,將中間光罩的圖案依次投影到晶片的多個照射區域,其中,邊不使所述晶片台靜止地使其掃描移動邊對沿掃描方向排列的晶片上的多個照射區域間歇地進行曝光。由此,在晶片的大型化且處理速度的高速化的要求下,與反復進行晶片台的加減速的步進重複(step and repeat)方式相比,能夠減輕伴隨台的掃描產生的振動和搖晃對曝光精度的影響。In addition, Patent Document 3 discloses a technology related to the step-and-scan method in an exposure device for semiconductor device manufacturing. The basic consideration is as follows: a row of irradiation areas along the scanning exposure direction of the wafer stage is exposed intermittently while skipping several irradiation areas in the middle, and the wafer stage is not stopped in the middle. That is, Patent Document 3 discloses an exposure device, which includes: an intermediate mask stage that holds the intermediate mask; a wafer stage that holds the wafer; and a projection optical system that projects the pattern of the intermediate mask onto the wafer, and exposes while the intermediate mask stage and the wafer stage are scanned relative to the projection optical system, and the pattern of the intermediate mask is sequentially projected onto multiple irradiation areas of the wafer, wherein multiple irradiation areas on the wafer arranged along the scanning direction are exposed intermittently while the wafer stage is scanned without being stationary. As a result, in response to the demand for larger wafers and faster processing speeds, the effects of vibration and shaking on exposure accuracy caused by stage scanning can be reduced compared to a step-and-repeat method that repeatedly accelerates and decelerates the wafer stage.
但是,上述專利文獻3中公開的技術是將縮小投影曝光作為基礎的半導體曝光裝置的技術,其技術領域與本發明的轉移技術不同。即,曝光裝置的中間光罩台和晶片台的結構和掃描技術與本發明的台結構和掃描技術完全不同,本發明的台結構和掃描技術用於將本發明的光罩圖案以高位置精度的方式縮小投影到供體基板上的對象物,進而以相同的高位置精度將該對象物轉移到受體基板上。因此,作為本發明的具體的台結構及其掃描技術不能參照上述專利文獻3中公開的技術。However, the technology disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 3 is a technology of a semiconductor exposure device based on reduced projection exposure, and its technical field is different from the transfer technology of the present invention. That is, the structure and scanning technology of the intermediate mask stage and wafer stage of the exposure device are completely different from the stage structure and scanning technology of the present invention. The stage structure and scanning technology of the present invention are used to reduce and project the mask pattern of the present invention onto the object on the donor substrate with high positional accuracy, and then transfer the object to the receptor substrate with the same high positional accuracy. Therefore, as the specific stage structure and scanning technology of the present invention, the technology disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 3 cannot be referred to.

通過將保持供體基板的供體台和放置在該供體臺上的保持光學系統的光學台的兩個台與保持受體基板的受體台作為獨立的機構的構成、以及不將光學台直接放置於供體台而作為分別獨立設置在剛性高的平臺上的構成,使伴隨各台的掃描產生的振動和各種錯誤對台間的同步位置精度造成的影響最小化。其結果,本發明的目的在於提供一種轉移裝置,其在維持轉移位置精度的同時有助於受體基板的大型化、精細化和縮短節拍時間。By configuring the donor stage for holding the donor substrate and the optical stage for holding the optical system placed on the donor stage as two stages independent of the receptor stage for holding the receptor substrate, and by configuring the optical stage not to be directly placed on the donor stage but to be independently provided on a high-rigidity platform, the influence of vibration and various errors caused by scanning of each stage on the synchronization position accuracy between the stages is minimized. As a result, the object of the present invention is to provide a transfer device that contributes to the enlargement, refinement and tact time reduction of the receptor substrate while maintaining the transfer position accuracy.
第一發明是一種轉移裝置,其通過從供體基板的背面向位於移動的所述供體基板的表面上的對象物照射脈衝鐳射,選擇性地將所述對象物剝離,並將所述對象物轉移到邊與所述供體基板相對邊移動的受體基板上,所述轉移裝置包括:脈衝振盪的鐳射裝置;望遠鏡,使從所述鐳射裝置射出的脈衝鐳射成為平行光;整形光學系統,將通過了所述望遠鏡的脈衝鐳射的空間強度分佈整形為均勻的分佈;光罩(mask),使由所述整形光學系統整形後的脈衝鐳射以規定的圖案通過;場鏡,位於所述整形光學系統和所述光罩之間;投影透鏡,將通過了所述光罩的圖案的鐳射縮小投影在所述供體基板的表面;光罩台,保持所述場鏡和所述光罩;光學台,保持所述整形光學系統、所述光罩台和所述投影透鏡;供體台,以使所述供體基板的背面成為鐳射的射入側的朝向保持所述供體基板;受體台,保持所述受體基板;以及可程式設計的多軸控制裝置,具有所述脈衝鐳射振盪用的觸發輸出功能和台控制功能,所述受體台具有將水平面作為XY平面時的Y軸、鉛垂方向的Z軸和XY平面內的θ軸,所述供體台具有X軸、Y軸和θ軸,所述投影透鏡與所述投影透鏡用的Z軸台一起保持在所述光學臺上,所述望遠鏡、所述整形光學系統、所述場鏡、所述光罩和所述投影透鏡構成縮小投影光學系統,所述縮小投影光學系統將所述光罩的圖案縮小投影在所述供體基板的表面,所述供體台的X軸設置在平臺1(第一平臺)上,所述受體台的Y軸設置在與所述平臺1不同的平臺2(第二平臺)上,所述供體台的Y軸懸掛設置於所述供體台的X軸。The first invention is a transfer device, which selectively peels off the object on the surface of the moving donor substrate by irradiating the object with pulsed laser from the back of the donor substrate, and transfers the object to a receiving substrate moving while facing the donor substrate, the transfer device comprising: a pulse oscillating laser device; a telescope, which makes the pulsed laser emitted from the laser device become parallel light; and a shaping optical system, which converts the pulsed laser passing through the telescope into a parallel light. The invention relates to a method for shaping the spatial intensity distribution of the laser into a uniform distribution; a mask, which allows the pulsed laser shaped by the shaping optical system to pass through in a prescribed pattern; a field lens, which is located between the shaping optical system and the mask; a projection lens, which projects the laser light of the pattern that has passed through the mask onto the surface of the donor substrate; a mask stage, which holds the field lens and the mask; an optical stage, which holds the shaping optical system, the mask stage and the projection lens; a donor stage, which allows the laser light to be shaped by the shaping optical system, the mask stage and the projection lens; and a donor stage, which allows the laser light to be shaped by the shaping optical system, the mask stage and the projection lens. The donor substrate is held in such a manner that the back side of the donor substrate becomes the incident side of the laser beam; a receptor stage is held to hold the receptor substrate; and a programmable multi-axis control device having a trigger output function and a stage control function for the pulse laser oscillation, the receptor stage having a Y axis when the horizontal plane is taken as the XY plane, a Z axis in the vertical direction, and a θ axis in the XY plane, the donor stage having an X axis, a Y axis, and a θ axis, the projection lens is held together with the Z axis stage for the projection lens On the optical table, the telescope, the shaping optical system, the field lens, the photomask and the projection lens constitute a reduced projection optical system, and the reduced projection optical system projects the pattern of the photomask on the surface of the donor substrate in reduced size. The X-axis of the donor table is set on platform 1 (first platform), and the Y-axis of the receptor table is set on platform 2 (second platform) different from platform 1, and the Y-axis of the donor table is suspended on the X-axis of the donor table.
在此,「移動的」基板包括脈衝鐳射(圖1A中表示為「LS」。但是,圖1A雖然表示第二發明的主要結構部,但是由於包含與第一發明的結構共通的結構部分,所以進行參照。以下相同)的照射時也不停止而移動的情況和脈衝鐳射的照射時停止並反復進行移動和停止的情況,根據本發明的轉移裝置進行的轉移工序和所要求的節拍時間等選擇所述的情況。此外,也包括供體基板(D)反復進行移動和停止、受體基板(R)不停止的結構和與其相反的情況的結構。在來自供體基板的對象物的剝離中僅使用一次照射時且要求高節拍時間的情況下,適合選擇供體基板和受體基板以相同或不同的速度不停止地移動的結構。另一方面,在想要使對象物層疊一定厚度的情況下等,有時選擇使供體基板不停止地移動且受體基板在一定照射數期間停止的結構。Here, the "moving" substrate includes a situation where it moves without stopping even when irradiated with pulsed laser (indicated as "LS" in FIG. 1A. However, although FIG. 1A shows the main structural part of the second invention, it includes a structural part common to the structure of the first invention and is therefore used for reference. The same applies hereinafter) and a situation where it stops and repeatedly moves and stops when irradiated with pulsed laser. The above situation is selected according to the transfer process performed by the transfer device of the present invention and the required cycle time. In addition, a structure in which the donor substrate (D) repeatedly moves and stops and the acceptor substrate (R) does not stop and a structure in which the opposite situation is also included. When only one shot is used to peel the object from the donor substrate and a high cycle time is required, it is appropriate to select a structure in which the donor substrate and the acceptor substrate move continuously at the same or different speeds. On the other hand, when it is desired to stack the object layer to a certain thickness, it is sometimes desirable to select a structure in which the donor substrate moves continuously and the acceptor substrate stops for a certain number of shots.
此外,「對象物」沒有特別的限定,是設置在供體基板上或隔著光吸收層(圖1A中省略圖示)在供體基板上設置成一片的轉移對象物,包括以所述專利文獻中記載的有機EL層為代表的薄膜和以微小的單元狀且規則地配置有多個的對象物,但是並不限定於這些對象物。另外,轉移的機理包括下述情況:被照射了鐳射的所述光吸收層產生衝擊波,由此對象物從供體基板剝離並朝向受體基板轉移;不具備光吸收層而通過直接向對象物照射的鐳射而剝離;但是並不限定於這些情況。In addition, the "object" is not particularly limited, and is a transfer object that is disposed on a donor substrate or disposed on a donor substrate in one piece via a light absorbing layer (not shown in FIG. 1A ), including thin films represented by the organic EL layer described in the patent document and multiple objects that are regularly arranged in a microscopic unit shape, but it is not limited to these objects. In addition, the transfer mechanism includes the following situations: the light absorbing layer irradiated with laser generates a shock wave, thereby the object is peeled off from the donor substrate and transferred to the receptor substrate; without a light absorbing layer, it is peeled off by the laser irradiated directly on the object; but it is not limited to these situations.
供體基板的材質只要對所述鐳射的波長具有透過特性即可,理想的是基板的大型化所造成的彎曲量小的材質。另外,在該彎曲量大到不滿足供體基板與受體基板間的間隙的均勻性的程度的情況下,供體台(Yd、θd)的供體基板的保持方法例如有如下的方法:通過在供體基板的中央附近設置吸附區域等來進行機械矯正;除此以外使用後述的高度感測器的組合形成的間隙感測器進行修正。The material of the donor substrate only needs to have a transmission characteristic for the wavelength of the laser, and it is ideal to use a material with a small amount of bending caused by the enlargement of the substrate. In addition, when the amount of bending is so large that the uniformity of the gap between the donor substrate and the acceptor substrate is not satisfied, the method of holding the donor substrate on the donor stage (Yd, θd) includes the following methods: mechanical correction by setting an adsorption area near the center of the donor substrate, etc.; in addition, correction is performed using a gap sensor formed by a combination of height sensors described later.
在本發明中,為了將位於供體基板的邊緣附近的對象物向受體基板轉移,供體台的可動範圍包含供體基板應移動的XY平面區域,並且是指依存於受體基板的大小的範圍。作為一個例子,在供體基板的XY平面內的尺寸為200×200[mm]、同樣的受體基板為400×400[mm]的情況下,供體台(Xd、Yd)應移動的規定範圍大體為800×800[mm]。圖4表示該情況。另外,在為了取下供體基板而需要進一步移動的情況下,也包含該區域。In the present invention, in order to transfer an object located near the edge of the donor substrate to the acceptor substrate, the movable range of the donor stage includes the XY plane area where the donor substrate should be moved, and refers to a range that depends on the size of the acceptor substrate. As an example, when the size of the donor substrate in the XY plane is 200×200 [mm] and the size of the acceptor substrate is 400×400 [mm], the specified range where the donor stage (Xd, Yd) should be moved is approximately 800×800 [mm]. Figure 4 shows this situation. In addition, when further movement is required to remove the donor substrate, this area is also included.
此外,「平臺」的材質沒有特別的限定,但是必須是具有極高剛性的材質。為了使平台1(G1)具有剛性,希望俯視時為「コ」形或「□」形的形狀。此外,在圖1A中,將平臺2圖示為一個的形狀,但是具體地說,也可以是下述構成:將平臺作為沿Y軸方向設置兩個的平臺,在其中間放置線性刻度和直線電機。另外,平臺1和平臺2可以是固定在同一基礎平臺(G)上的結構。此外,G1可以由平臺11(G11)和平臺12(G12)的組合構成。In addition, there is no particular limitation on the material of the "platform", but it must be a material with extremely high rigidity. In order to make the platform 1 (G1) rigid, it is desired to have a "コ" shape or a "□" shape when viewed from above. In addition, in Figure 1A, the platform 2 is illustrated as a single shape, but specifically, it can also be configured as follows: the platform is provided as two platforms along the Y-axis direction, and a linear scale and a linear motor are placed in the middle. In addition, the platform 1 and the platform 2 can be a structure fixed on the same base platform (G). In addition, G1 can be composed of a combination of the platform 11 (G11) and the platform 12 (G12).
此外,任何平臺的材質都需要使用鋼鐵、石材或陶瓷材料等剛性高的構件。例如該石材可以使用以花崗岩(granite)為代表的石材,但是並不限定於此。此外,全部平臺無需由相同的材質構成。In addition, the material of any platform needs to be a high-rigidity member such as steel, stone, or ceramic material. For example, the stone material can be granite, but it is not limited to this. In addition, all platforms do not need to be made of the same material.
在後述的實施例中,對各台的移動進行詳細說明,但是大體進行以下的動作。首先,供體台的X軸(Xd)在懸掛設置有供體台的Y軸(Yd)的狀態下設置在G1上,沿X軸方向移動。此外,該移動改變供體基板和受體基板間的沿X軸的相對位置。圖1B表示移動的情況。另外,在哪個圖中都未圖示台的可動工作臺和直線導軌等的詳細結構。In the embodiments described later, the movement of each stage is described in detail, but the following actions are generally performed. First, the X-axis (Xd) of the donor stage is set on G1 in a state where the Y-axis (Yd) on which the donor stage is suspended is moved along the X-axis direction. In addition, this movement changes the relative position of the donor substrate and the acceptor substrate along the X-axis. FIG1B shows the movement. In addition, the detailed structure of the movable workbench and linear guide rail of the stage is not shown in any figure.
光學台(Xo)向平臺等設置的設置方法沒有限定,可以選擇各種機構,例如放置在Xd上的狀態、與設置有Xd的平臺設置在同一平臺上的狀態、或放置在與Xd不同的平臺上的狀態等。Xo與Xd同時行進並在X軸方向上移動,整形光學系統(H)、場鏡(F)、光罩(M)和投影透鏡(Pl)的各相對位置不變化,使它們一體移動。另一方面,沿著X軸的Xo的移動會改變供體基板與投影透鏡間的相對位置關係。圖1C表示該移動的情況。There is no limitation on the method of installing the optical table (Xo) on a platform, etc. Various mechanisms can be selected, such as a state of being placed on Xd, a state of being placed on the same platform as the platform on which Xd is installed, or a state of being placed on a platform different from Xd. Xo and Xd move simultaneously in the X-axis direction, and the relative positions of the shaping optical system (H), field lens (F), mask (M) and projection lens (Pl) do not change, so that they move as a whole. On the other hand, the movement of Xo along the X-axis changes the relative position relationship between the donor substrate and the projection lens. Figure 1C shows the movement.
另外,在不需要改變供體基板與投影透鏡的X軸方向的相對位置的情況下,可以是始終與供體台的X軸一起移動的結構,即省略光學台,均質器(homogenizer)、場鏡、光罩和投影透鏡全部設置在供體台的X軸上或固定在另外的平臺上的結構。In addition, when there is no need to change the relative position of the donor substrate and the projection lens in the X-axis direction, a structure that always moves with the X-axis of the donor stage can be used, that is, the optical stage is omitted, and the homogenizer, field lens, mask and projection lens are all arranged on the X-axis of the donor stage or fixed on another platform.
光罩保持在光罩臺上,該光罩台至少具有與場鏡一起沿X軸方向移動的W軸,此外優選的是,還可以具有:Y軸方向的U軸、沿Z軸方向移動的V軸、作為YZ平面內的轉動軸的R軸、調整相對於V軸的傾斜度的TV軸和調整相對於U軸的傾斜度的TU軸。此外,為了抑制向光罩照射鐳射所產生的熱量的注入,可以在該光罩的眼前一側設置孔眼光罩,該孔眼光罩配置有比光罩圖案大一圈的圖案,與所述光罩配合而成為雙光罩結構。The mask is held on a mask stage, which has at least a W axis that moves along the X axis direction together with the field lens, and preferably, may also have: a U axis in the Y axis direction, a V axis that moves along the Z axis direction, an R axis that is a rotation axis in the YZ plane, a TV axis that adjusts the inclination relative to the V axis, and a TU axis that adjusts the inclination relative to the U axis. In addition, in order to suppress the injection of heat generated by irradiating the laser to the mask, a perforated mask may be provided on the front side of the eye of the mask, the perforated mask being configured with a pattern that is one circle larger than the mask pattern, and forming a double mask structure in combination with the mask.
供體台的Y軸(Yd)和受體台的Y軸(Yr)以將轉移工序中的供體基板和受體基板的間隙保持為固定且維持極高的平行度的狀態,以相同或不同的速度移動。此外,按照各台組的移動方法和支承它們的平臺等的上述結構,通過將受體基板的移動機構限定於Y軸且與供體基板的移動機構分離,能夠抑制因彼此的基板的移動區域的干擾和振動造成的相互影響,能夠應對受體基板的尺寸的大型化和精細化。The Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage and the Y axis (Yr) of the receptor stage move at the same or different speeds to keep the gap between the donor substrate and the receptor substrate fixed and maintain a very high degree of parallelism during the transfer process. In addition, according to the above-mentioned structure of the moving method of each stage group and the platform supporting them, by limiting the moving mechanism of the receptor substrate to the Y axis and separating it from the moving mechanism of the donor substrate, it is possible to suppress the mutual influence caused by interference and vibration of the moving areas of each substrate, and it is possible to cope with the increase in the size and refinement of the receptor substrate.
第二發明是在第一發明的基礎上,所述供體台的X軸放置在所述平臺1上,所述光學台放置在所述供體台的X軸上。The second invention is based on the first invention, wherein the X-axis of the donor table is placed on the platform 1, and the optical table is placed on the X-axis of the donor table.

Fig. 1D shows a top view of Fig. 1C.
第三發明是在第一發明的基礎上,所述光學台放置在所述平臺1上,並且所述供體台的X軸懸掛設置於所述平臺1。The third invention is based on the first invention, wherein the optical table is placed on the platform 1, and the X-axis of the donor table is suspended on the platform 1.
圖2A表示所述第三發明的轉移裝置的主要結構部分(側視圖)。圖2B表示Xd和Xo從圖2A的狀態在G1上(Xd懸掛設置於G1)移動了相同距離的情況(側視圖)。圖2C表示僅Xo從圖2B的狀態在G1上移動了的情況(側視圖)。Fig. 2A shows the main structural part of the transfer device of the third invention (side view). Fig. 2B shows the situation where Xd and Xo move the same distance on G1 (Xd is suspended on G1) from the state of Fig. 2A (side view). Fig. 2C shows the situation where only Xo moves on G1 from the state of Fig. 2B (side view).
第四發明是在第一發明的基礎上,所述供體台的X軸安裝在所述平臺1上,所述光學台放置在與所述平臺1和所述平臺2都不同的平臺3(第三平臺)上。The fourth invention is based on the first invention, wherein the X-axis of the donor table is mounted on the platform 1, and the optical table is placed on a platform 3 (a third platform) which is different from both the platform 1 and the platform 2.
在此,「設置在平臺1上」包含放置在平臺1上的狀態和從平臺1懸掛設置的狀態,但是並不限定於這些狀態。Here, "installed on the platform 1" includes a state of being placed on the platform 1 and a state of being suspended from the platform 1, but is not limited to these states.
第五發明是在第一發明的基礎上,在所述供體台的X軸和所述平臺1之間具有用於對兩者間的XY平面內的設置角度進行微調整的轉動調整機構,在所述供體台的X軸和所述供體台的Y軸之間具有對兩者間的XY平面內的設置角度進行微調整的轉動調整機構。The fifth invention is based on the first invention, and has a rotation adjustment mechanism between the X-axis of the donor table and the platform 1 for finely adjusting the setting angle between the two in the XY plane, and has a rotation adjustment mechanism between the X-axis of the donor table and the Y-axis of the donor table for finely adjusting the setting angle between the two in the XY plane.
在此,圖3A表示設置在供體台的X軸(Xd)和平臺1(G1)之間的轉動調整機構(RP)的一個例子。在所述圖3A中,左圖表示俯視圖,右圖表示從X軸方向觀察的側視圖。此外,在俯視圖中,位於外側的一列的孔用於與G1的固定,並且為了具有轉動調整功能而具有“游隙”(餘裕、寬裕)。此外,在俯視圖中,位於內側的二列的孔是使螺絲通過的孔,該螺絲用於固定該RP和Xd的直線導軌。另外,也可以將具有“遊隙”的一側作為該Xd的直線導軌用的孔,但是在以獨立且平行的方式固定兩個直線導軌的情況下,存在設置工序的難易度上升的可能性。Here, FIG. 3A shows an example of a rotation adjustment mechanism (RP) provided between the X-axis (Xd) of the donor table and the platform 1 (G1). In FIG. 3A, the left figure shows a top view, and the right figure shows a side view viewed from the X-axis direction. In addition, in the top view, the holes in the row on the outer side are used for fixing with G1, and have "play" (margin, leeway) in order to have a rotation adjustment function. In addition, in the top view, the holes in the two rows on the inner side are holes for passing screws, and the screws are used to fix the RP and the linear guide of Xd. In addition, the side with "play" can also be used as a hole for the linear guide of Xd, but when the two linear guides are fixed in an independent and parallel manner, there is a possibility that the difficulty of the setting process will increase.
另一方面,圖3B 表示設置在Xd與懸掛設置於Xd的供體台的Y軸(Yd)之間的RP的一個例子。在俯視圖中,位於外側的二列的孔用於與Xd的固定,並且為了具有轉動調整功能而具有“遊隙”。此外,沿Y軸方向排列的二列的孔用於與Yd的固定。On the other hand, FIG3B shows an example of RP provided between Xd and the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage suspended from Xd. In the top view, the two rows of holes located on the outer side are used for fixing to Xd, and have "play" in order to have a rotation adjustment function. In addition, the two rows of holes arranged along the Y axis direction are used for fixing to Yd.
此外,作為設置在G1和Xd之間的RP,可以使用與前述的RP不同的RP。例如,將支點(Z軸方向的轉動軸)設置在該RP與G1的接觸面上,該支點用於相對於G1在XY平面內對放置Xd的RP進行轉動調整(省略圖示),在充分遠離所述支點的RP的側面(鉛垂面)設置相對於該支點的力點。在該力點附近的G1上設置朝向力點沿水準推壓的大型螺絲。同樣,在與其相反側的RP的側面設置大型螺絲。由此,能夠使放置有Xd的該RP相對於G1以所述支點為中心以微弧度[μrad]數量級在XY平面內轉動。In addition, as the RP provided between G1 and Xd, an RP different from the aforementioned RP can be used. For example, a fulcrum (rotation axis in the Z-axis direction) is provided on the contact surface between the RP and G1, and the fulcrum is used to rotationally adjust the RP on which Xd is placed relative to G1 in the XY plane (illustration omitted), and a force point relative to the fulcrum is provided on the side surface (lead vertical surface) of the RP sufficiently away from the fulcrum. A large screw that pushes horizontally toward the force point is provided on G1 near the force point. Similarly, a large screw is provided on the side surface of the RP on the opposite side. Thus, the RP on which Xd is placed can be rotated relative to G1 in the XY plane at the order of microradians [μrad] with the fulcrum as the center.
第六發明是在第二發明的基礎上,在所述供體台的X軸和所述平臺1之間具有用於對兩者間的XY平面內的設置角度進行微調整的轉動調整機構,在所述供體台的X軸和所述光學台之間具有用於對兩者間的XY平面內的設置角度進行微調整的轉動調整機構,在所述供體台的X軸和所述供體台的Y軸之間具有用於對兩者間的XY平面內的設置角度進行微調整的轉動調整機構。The sixth invention is based on the second invention, and has a rotation adjustment mechanism between the X-axis of the donor table and the platform 1 for finely adjusting the setting angle between the two in the XY plane, a rotation adjustment mechanism between the X-axis of the donor table and the optical table for finely adjusting the setting angle between the two in the XY plane, and a rotation adjustment mechanism between the X-axis of the donor table and the Y-axis of the donor table for finely adjusting the setting angle between the two in the XY plane.
作為上述RP,例如可以使用用於上述的圖3A所示的G1和Xd之間的RP、用於圖3C所示的Xd和Xo之間的RP、以及用於圖3B所示的Xd和Yd之間的RP。As the RP, for example, the RP used between G1 and Xd shown in FIG. 3A , the RP used between Xd and Xo shown in FIG. 3C , and the RP used between Xd and Yd shown in FIG. 3B can be used.
第七發明是在第三發明的基礎上,在所述供體台的X軸和所述平臺1之間具有用於對兩者間的XY平面內的設置角度進行微調整的轉動調整機構,在所述光學台和所述平臺1之間具有用於對兩者間的XY平面內的設置角度進行微調整的轉動調整機構,在所述供體台的X軸和所述供體台的Y軸之間具有用於對兩者間的XY平面內的設置角度進行微調整的轉動調整機構。The seventh invention is based on the third invention, and has a rotation adjustment mechanism between the X-axis of the donor table and the platform 1 for finely adjusting the setting angle between the two in the XY plane, a rotation adjustment mechanism between the optical table and the platform 1 for finely adjusting the setting angle between the two in the XY plane, and a rotation adjustment mechanism between the X-axis of the donor table and the Y-axis of the donor table for finely adjusting the setting angle between the two in the XY plane.
在此,例如,作為Xo和G1之間以及Xd和G1之間的轉動調整機構分別使用圖3A所示的RP,另一方面,作為Xd和Yd之間的轉動調整機構使用圖3B所示的RP。前者的RP上具有使Xo和Xd的直線導軌固定用螺絲通過的孔,使用該孔所具有的「遊隙」,調整固定有各台用直線導軌的RP和G1的XY平面內的設置角度。Here, for example, the RP shown in FIG3A is used as the rotation adjustment mechanism between Xo and G1 and between Xd and G1, and the RP shown in FIG3B is used as the rotation adjustment mechanism between Xd and Yd. The former RP has holes through which screws for fixing the linear guides of Xo and Xd pass, and the "play" of the holes is used to adjust the setting angles in the XY plane of the RP and G1 to which the linear guides for each stage are fixed.
第八發明是在第四發明的基礎上,在所述供體台的X軸和所述平臺1之間具有用於對兩者間的XY平面內的設置角度進行微調整的轉動調整機構,在所述光學台和所述平臺3之間具有用於對兩者間的XY平面內的設置角度進行微調整的轉動調整機構,在所述供體台的X軸和所述供體台的Y軸之間具有用於對兩者間的XY平面內的設置角度進行微調整的轉動調整機構。The eighth invention is based on the fourth invention, and has a rotation adjustment mechanism between the X-axis of the donor table and the platform 1 for finely adjusting the setting angle between the two in the XY plane, a rotation adjustment mechanism between the optical table and the platform 3 for finely adjusting the setting angle between the two in the XY plane, and a rotation adjustment mechanism between the X-axis of the donor table and the Y-axis of the donor table for finely adjusting the setting angle between the two in the XY plane.
第九發明是在第一發明至第八發明中的任意一項發明的基礎上,所述鐳射裝置是準分子雷射器。The ninth invention is based on any one of the first to eighth inventions, wherein the laser device is an excimer laser.
在此,準分子雷射器的振盪波長主要是193[nm]、248[nm]、308[nm]或351[nm],根據光吸收層的材料和對象物的光吸收特性,從它們中適當選擇。Here, the oscillation wavelength of the excimer laser is mainly 193 [nm], 248 [nm], 308 [nm] or 351 [nm], and it is appropriately selected from them according to the material of the light absorbing layer and the light absorption characteristics of the object.
第十發明是在第九發明的基礎上,所述轉移裝置包括脈衝光閘,所述脈衝光閘切斷從所述準分子雷射器射出的雷射脈衝的任意脈衝列。The tenth invention is based on the ninth invention, wherein the transfer device includes a pulse gate, and the pulse gate cuts off any pulse train of the laser pulse emitted from the excimer laser.
已為公眾所知的是,脈衝振盪的鐳射裝置從所述可程式設計的多軸控制裝置接收觸發信號並開始振盪,但是其振盪後的一定次數或一定時間內的脈衝的能量不穩定到由於應用的不同而不能使用的程度。由此,為了排除該不穩定的脈衝組,需要通過機械性的光閘動作排除上述脈衝組。具體地說,例如在以1[kHz]振盪的準分子雷射器的情況下,相鄰的雷射脈衝間的時間窗約為1[ms],需要能夠在該時間內移動(橫穿)一定距離的高速的光閘功能。該一定距離依存於使光閘動作的場所的鐳射的空間大小,如果該距離是5[mm],則所要求的光閘動作速度是5[m/s],需要使用音圈(voice coil)等使光學元件出入光路的超高速光閘。另外,即使通過成形光學系統等使該空間的大小變小,能夠縮短光閘構件橫穿的距離,也會因鐳射的能量密度而容易損傷。It is known that a pulse oscillating laser device receives a trigger signal from the programmable multi-axis control device and starts oscillating, but the energy of the pulse after a certain number of times or a certain period of time after the oscillation is unstable to the extent that it cannot be used depending on the application. Therefore, in order to eliminate the unstable pulse group, it is necessary to eliminate the above-mentioned pulse group through a mechanical photogate action. Specifically, in the case of an excimer laser oscillating at 1 [kHz], for example, the time window between adjacent laser pulses is about 1 [ms], and a high-speed photogate function that can move (traverse) a certain distance within this time is required. This certain distance depends on the size of the space where the laser beam is operated. If the distance is 5 [mm], the required speed of the shutter operation is 5 [m/s], and an ultra-high-speed shutter that uses a voice coil or the like to move the optical element in and out of the optical path is required. In addition, even if the size of the space is reduced by forming an optical system, the distance that the shutter component traverses can be shortened, but it is still easy to be damaged due to the energy density of the laser beam.
第十一發明是在第十發明的基礎上,所述可程式設計的多軸控制裝置具有至少同時控制所述受體台的Y軸和所述供體台的Y軸的功能,並且包括使用用於對所述台的移動位置誤差進行修正而預先製作的二維分佈修正值資料來對所述移動位置誤差進行修正的裝置。The eleventh invention is based on the tenth invention, wherein the programmable multi-axis control device has the function of at least simultaneously controlling the Y-axis of the recipient table and the Y-axis of the donor table, and includes a device for correcting the moving position error using pre-made two-dimensional distribution correction value data for correcting the moving position error of the table.
例如,使用Xd或Xo與、Yr或Yd的任意一種組合的類比的XY平面中的二維分佈修正值資料資訊,進行鐳射的照射時的受體基板和供體基板的位置修正。修正的位置誤差的主要原因包括伴隨各台的移動產生的縱搖(pitching)、偏轉(yawing)和橫搖(rolling),但是並不限定這些。此外,確定修正值的參數除了所述各台的位置資訊以外,還包含Yr和Yd的移動速度及它們的比。For example, the position of the acceptor substrate and the donor substrate during laser irradiation is corrected using two-dimensional distribution correction value data in the XY plane analogous to any combination of Xd or Xo and Yr or Yd. The main causes of the position error to be corrected include pitching, yawing, and rolling caused by the movement of each stage, but are not limited to these. In addition, the parameters for determining the correction value include the movement speeds of Yr and Yd and their ratio in addition to the position information of each stage.
第十二發明是在第十一發明的基礎上,監測所述供體基板的位置的高倍率照相機設置在所述受體台的Z軸上,或者監測所述受體基板的位置的高倍率照相機設置在所述供體台的X軸或與該供體台的X軸一起移動的部分上、或者設置在所述光學台或與該光學台一起移動的部分上。The twelfth invention is based on the eleventh invention, wherein the high-magnification camera for monitoring the position of the donor substrate is arranged on the Z-axis of the acceptor stage, or the high-magnification camera for monitoring the position of the acceptor substrate is arranged on the X-axis of the donor stage or on the part moving together with the X-axis of the donor stage, or on the optical stage or on the part moving together with the optical stage.
在此,在與「供體台的X軸一起移動的部分」中也包含懸掛設置於Xd的Yd。在本發明中,各台的Y軸之間的平行度和X軸之間的平行度以及各台的Y軸與X軸的垂直度是左右轉移位置精度的重要參數。此外,在組裝各台時的平行度和垂直度的檢驗中,相對於保持對準用基板的各台的移動距離,使用高倍率、高解析度的照相機監測與其垂直的方向上的偏差量,並使用所述轉動調整機構來進行垂直度的調整。此外,在Yr和Yd間的平行度的調整中,使兩個台同步移動(並行)相同距離,通過安裝在一個臺上的高倍率照相機,觀察附加在對置的臺上的進行了圖案匹配的對準標記圖像(十字標記等)的位置是否未移動而靜止。在該情況下,Y軸方向的移動表示Yd和Yr的同步異常,X軸方向的移動表示Yd和Yr的平行度的調整錯誤。Here, the "portion that moves with the X-axis of the donor stage" also includes Yd suspended from Xd. In the present invention, the parallelism between the Y-axes and the X-axes of each stage, as well as the perpendicularity between the Y-axis and the X-axis of each stage are important parameters for the accuracy of the left-right transfer position. In addition, in the inspection of the parallelism and perpendicularity when assembling each stage, the deviation in the direction perpendicular to the moving distance of each stage holding the alignment substrate is monitored using a high-magnification, high-resolution camera, and the perpendicularity is adjusted using the rotation adjustment mechanism. In addition, in the adjustment of the parallelism between Yr and Yd, the two stages are moved synchronously (in parallel) by the same distance, and the position of the alignment mark image (cross mark, etc.) attached to the opposing stage for pattern matching is observed by a high-magnification camera mounted on one stage to see if it does not move but remains stationary. In this case, the movement in the Y-axis direction indicates an abnormality in the synchronization of Yd and Yr, and the movement in the X-axis direction indicates an error in the adjustment of the parallelism of Yd and Yr.
另外,作為高倍率照相機通常使用CCD照相機。倍率等依存於轉移位置精度,但是作為一個例子,在檢測所述[μrad]數量級的偏差量的情況下亦即在相對於1[m]的台移動距離檢測1[μm]的偏差量的情況下,可以使用解析度1[μm]且倍率為20倍~50倍程度的照相機。In addition, a CCD camera is generally used as a high-magnification camera. The magnification and the like depend on the transfer position accuracy, but as an example, when detecting the deviation of the order of [μrad], that is, when detecting the deviation of 1 [μm] relative to the stage movement distance of 1 [m], a camera with a resolution of 1 [μm] and a magnification of about 20 to 50 times can be used.
第十三發明是在第十二發明的基礎上,所述供體台和所述受體台包括間隙感測器,所述間隙感測器測量所述供體基板的表面(下表面)與所述受體基板的表面的間隙。The thirteenth invention is based on the twelfth invention, wherein the donor stage and the acceptor stage include a gap sensor, and the gap sensor measures the gap between the surface (lower surface) of the donor substrate and the surface of the acceptor substrate.
在此,間隙感測器是指組合了分別設置在供體和受體臺上的高度感測器的感測器,設置在供體臺上的高度感測器測量到受體基板的距離,設置在受體臺上的高度感測器測量到供體基板的距離,根據兩個測量值和高度感測器的高度資訊,計算供體基板與受體基板間的間隙。Here, the gap sensor refers to a sensor that combines height sensors respectively arranged on the donor stage and the receptor stage. The height sensor arranged on the donor stage measures the distance to the receptor substrate, and the height sensor arranged on the receptor stage measures the distance to the donor substrate. Based on the two measurement values and the height information of the height sensor, the gap between the donor substrate and the receptor substrate is calculated.

In addition, as the reflector, a three-axis pyramidal prism (retro-reflector) is suitable, and it is preferred to be located as close to the receptor substrate as possible (height). An overview is shown in FIG5A (illustration of the Z axis and θ axis of the donor stage group and the receptor stage is omitted).

作為供體台的Y軸(Yd)用鐳射干涉計的結構,可以使用包括以下部件的結構:Ic,保持在與懸掛設置於Xd的Yd一起移動的面上;IL,以同樣方式固定在Xd上;以及1/4波長板等(省略圖示)。在此,作為所述反射鏡,適合使用三軸的角錐稜鏡(逆反射器),優選盡可能接近供體基板的位置(高度)。由圖5B表示概況。(受體台組省略圖示)另外,對於任意一個干涉計用鐳射的檢測方式的選擇,只要根據所要求的轉移位置精度來選擇最適合的方式即可。As the structure of the laser interferometer for the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage, a structure including the following components can be used: Ic, which is held on a surface that moves together with Yd suspended on Xd; IL, which is fixed on Xd in the same manner; and a 1/4 wavelength plate, etc. (illustration omitted). Here, as the reflecting mirror, a three-axis pyramidal prism (retroreflector) is suitable, and the position (height) as close to the donor substrate as possible is preferred. An overview is shown in FIG5B. (The receptor stage group is omitted in the illustration) In addition, for the selection of the detection method of the laser for any interferometer, it is sufficient to select the most suitable method according to the required transfer position accuracy.
第十五發明是在第十四發明的基礎上,所述轉移裝置包括共焦點光束輪廓儀,所述共焦點光束輪廓儀在與通過所述投影透鏡對所述光罩的圖案進行縮小投影並成像的位置共軛的位置具有焦平面。The fifteenth invention is based on the fourteenth invention, wherein the transfer device includes a confocal beam profiler having a focal plane at a position concentric with the position where the pattern of the mask is projected and imaged by the projection lens.
通過該共焦點光束輪廓儀,能夠即時且以與縮小成像光學系統的成像解析度同等的精度,監測向供體基板表面縮小投影的鐳射的位置和空間強度分佈的狀態以及其成像狀態。The confocal beam profiler can monitor the position and spatial intensity distribution of the laser light projected onto the donor substrate surface and its imaging state in real time and with the same accuracy as the imaging resolution of the reduced imaging optical system.

The method for adjusting the transfer device is based on the Y axis of the acceptor stage whose linearity is adjusted together with the Z axis and the θ axis of the acceptor stage, and sequentially comprises the following steps: using a rotation adjustment mechanism located between the platform 1 and the X axis of the donor stage, The verticality of the Y axis of the acceptor table and the X axis of the donor table is adjusted; the Y axis of the donor table suspended on the X axis of the donor table whose verticality is adjusted is made to move synchronously and in parallel with the Y axis of the acceptor table, and the alignment mark on the Y axis of the opposing donor table is observed by a high-magnification camera installed at a position moving together with the Y axis of the acceptor table; and based on the observation result, the parallelism of the Y axis of the acceptor table and the Y axis of the donor table is adjusted by a rotation adjustment mechanism between the X axis of the donor table and the Y axis of the donor table.
另外,為了高精度地確認並調整Yd與Yr的平行度,優選的是,高倍率照相機位於放置在Yr上的各台和板等中最高的位置,並且安裝在剛性高的部分上。In order to accurately check and adjust the parallelism of Yd and Yr, it is preferred that the high-magnification camera be located at the highest position among the stages and plates placed on Yr and be mounted on a portion with high rigidity.
本發明能夠在供體基板和受體基板的高同步位置精度的基礎上,在保持高轉移位置精度的同時實現轉移裝置的受體基板的大型化和縮短節拍時間。The present invention can realize the large-scale transfer device and the shortened cycle time of the receiver substrate based on the high synchronization position accuracy of the donor substrate and the receiver substrate while maintaining high transfer position accuracy.
下面,參照附圖對本發明的轉移裝置的具體結構進行詳細說明。Below, the specific structure of the transfer device of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
[實施例1][Example 1]
在本實施例1中,表示如下的實施例:在尺寸為200×200[mm]的供體基板上,將隔著光吸收層形成為一片的層狀(固態膜)對象物作為每個形狀為10×10[μm]的單元狀的轉移對象物,以縱12000×橫12000的合計144百萬個矩陣狀的方式向尺寸為400×400[mm]的受體基板轉移。上述144百萬個的轉移位置是±1[μm]的位置精度,各縱、橫的間距是30[μm]。In the present embodiment 1, the following embodiment is shown: on a donor substrate of size 200×200 [mm], a layered (solid film) object formed as a single sheet with a light absorbing layer interposed therebetween is transferred as a unit-shaped transfer object each having a shape of 10×10 [μm] to a receptor substrate of size 400×400 [mm] in a matrix of 12000 in length and 12000 in width, totaling 144 million. The position accuracy of the above 144 million transfer positions is ±1 [μm], and the pitch of each length and width is 30 [μm].
首先,圖1A表示與本發明的實施相關的轉移裝置的主要結構部分。另外,在圖1A中省略了鐳射裝置、控制裝置和其它監視器等的圖示,X軸、Y軸和Z軸方向如圖中所示。平臺1(G1)、平臺11(G11)、平臺12(G12)和平臺2(G2)全部為使用花崗岩的石平臺。此外,基礎平臺(G)使用了剛性高的鐵。另外,本實施例是將上述第六發明的構成作為基礎的實施例。First, FIG. 1A shows the main structural parts of the transfer device related to the implementation of the present invention. In addition, in FIG. 1A, the illustration of the laser device, the control device and other monitors is omitted, and the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions are as shown in the figure. Platform 1 (G1), platform 11 (G11), platform 12 (G12) and platform 2 (G2) are all stone platforms using granite. In addition, the base platform (G) uses high-rigidity iron. In addition, this embodiment is an embodiment based on the structure of the above-mentioned sixth invention.
按照從鐳射裝置射出脈衝鐳射並照射到供體基板上的對象物為止的鐳射的傳輸順序,依次對本發明的實施例1的轉移裝置的構成進行說明。首先,在本實施例1中使用的鐳射裝置是振盪波長為248[nm]的準分子雷射器。射出的鐳射的空間分佈大約為8×24[mm],光束發散角是1×3毫弧度[mrad]。以上均是(縱×橫)的記載,數值是FWHM。The structure of the transfer device of Example 1 of the present invention is described in order of the transmission sequence of the laser from the laser device to the object on the donor substrate. First, the laser device used in Example 1 is an excimer laser with an oscillation wavelength of 248 [nm]. The spatial distribution of the emitted laser is about 8×24 [mm], and the beam divergence angle is 1×3 milliradian [mrad]. The above are all (vertical × horizontal) descriptions, and the values are FWHM.
另外,準分子雷射器的規格為多種,根據輸出的不同、重複頻率的不同、光束尺寸的不同和光束發散角的不同等,存在有射出的鐳射縱向長(使所述縱和橫反轉)的準分子雷射器,但是通過光學系統的追加、省略或設計變更,存在有多種能夠在本實施例1中使用的準分子雷射器。此外,雖然鐳射裝置依存於其大小,但是一般來說設置在與設置有轉移裝置的台組的基座不同的基座(鐳射用平臺)上。In addition, there are various specifications of excimer lasers, and there are excimer lasers whose emitted lasers are longitudinally long (the longitudinal and transverse directions are reversed) due to differences in output, repetition frequency, beam size, and beam divergence angle, but there are various excimer lasers that can be used in this embodiment 1 by adding, omitting, or changing the design of the optical system. In addition, although the laser device depends on its size, it is generally installed on a base (laser stage) different from the base of the stage assembly on which the transfer device is installed.
來自準分子雷射器的射出光射入望遠鏡光學系統,並向其前方的整形光學系統傳輸。在此,如圖1A所示,整形光學系統以使光軸沿X軸的方式保持在光學台(Xo)上,該光學台設置在使供體基板移動的供體台的X軸(Xd)上。此外,就要射入該整形光學系統之前的鐳射以在所述供體台的X軸的移動範圍內的任意位置都成為大體平行光的方式由望遠鏡光學系統進行調整。因此,不論Xd和/或Xo的X軸方向的移動怎樣,鐳射始終以大體相同尺寸、相同角度(垂直)射入整形光學系統。在本實施例1中,其尺寸約為25×25[mm](縱×橫)。The emitted light from the excimer laser enters the telescope optical system and is transmitted to the shaping optical system in front of it. Here, as shown in FIG. 1A, the shaping optical system is maintained on an optical table (Xo) in a manner such that the optical axis is along the X-axis, and the optical table is set on the X-axis (Xd) of the donor table that moves the donor substrate. In addition, the laser light just before entering the shaping optical system is adjusted by the telescope optical system in a manner such that it becomes substantially parallel light at any position within the X-axis movement range of the donor table. Therefore, regardless of the movement of Xd and/or Xo in the X-axis direction, the laser light always enters the shaping optical system with substantially the same size and the same angle (vertical). In the present embodiment 1, its size is approximately 25×25 [mm] (longitudinal × horizontal).
本實施例1的整形光學系統(H)在與光軸方向垂直的平面內,將兩個一組的單軸柱面透鏡陣列組合成兩組直角。其配置為:各組內的前級的透鏡陣列通過後級的透鏡陣列和位於其後方的聚光透鏡(省略圖示),在光罩(M)上成像。The shaping optical system (H) of this embodiment 1 combines two groups of uniaxial cylindrical lens arrays into two groups of right angles in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis direction. The configuration is as follows: the front-stage lens array in each group forms an image on the mask (M) through the rear-stage lens array and the focusing lens (not shown) located behind it.
通過了整形光學系統的鐳射經由在與投影透鏡(Pl)的組合中構成圖像側遠心縮小投影光學系統的場鏡(F)射入光罩。在光罩上的鐳射的尺寸是1×50[mm](FWHM),其空間強度分佈均勻性為±5%以內的區域的尺寸維持0.5×45[mm]以上。The laser light that has passed through the shaping optical system is incident on the mask through the field lens (F) that forms the image side telecentric reduction projection optical system in combination with the projection lens (Pl). The size of the laser light on the mask is 1×50 [mm] (FWHM), and the size of the area where the spatial intensity distribution uniformity is within ±5% is maintained at 0.5×45 [mm] or more.
光罩固定在光罩臺上,如上所述,所述光罩台具有合計六軸調整機構,所述六軸為:與場鏡一起沿X軸方向移動的W軸、Y軸方向的U軸、沿Z軸方向移動的V軸、作為YZ平面內的轉動軸的R軸、調整相對於V軸的傾斜度的TV軸、以及調整相對於U軸的傾斜度的TU軸。The mask is fixed on the mask stage. As mentioned above, the mask stage has a total of six-axis adjustment mechanisms, and the six axes are: the W axis that moves along the X-axis direction together with the field lens, the U axis in the Y-axis direction, the V axis that moves along the Z-axis direction, the R axis that serves as the rotation axis in the YZ plane, the TV axis that adjusts the inclination relative to the V axis, and the TU axis that adjusts the inclination relative to the U axis.
本實施例1的光罩使用通過鍍鉻在合成石英板上描繪(形成)有圖案的光罩。圖6表示其概略。在該光罩中,未實施鍍鉻的、表示為白色的窗部分(a)透過鐳射,實施了鍍鉻的有顏色部分(b)遮擋鐳射。一個窗的形狀(a)是50×50[μm],將其沿X軸方向(一列)以150[μm]間隔連續43.85[mm]合計配置300個。此外,實施鍍鉻的面是鐳射的射出側,另一方面,射入側設有248[nm]用的反射防止膜。此外,代替鍍鉻,可以使用鋁蒸鍍或電介質多層膜。The mask of this embodiment 1 uses a mask with a pattern drawn (formed) on a synthetic quartz plate by chromium plating. Figure 6 shows an outline. In this mask, the window part (a) that is not chromium-plated and is represented by white passes through the laser, and the colored part (b) that is chromium-plated blocks the laser. The shape of one window (a) is 50×50 [μm], and a total of 300 are arranged in a row of 43.85 [mm] at intervals of 150 [μm] along the X-axis direction (one row). In addition, the chromium-plated surface is the emission side of the laser, and on the other hand, the incident side is provided with a reflection prevention film for 248 [nm]. In addition, instead of chromium plating, aluminum vapor deposition or a dielectric multilayer film can be used.
另外,當在一個光罩上切換使用多個圖案的轉移工序的情況下,如果在從所述整形光學系統向光罩上照射的鐳射的尺寸的範圍內、且在光罩台的可動範圍內,則可以使用描繪有不同的圖案的光罩。In addition, in the case of a transfer process in which a plurality of patterns are switched on one mask, masks with different patterns can be used if the size of the laser beam irradiated onto the mask from the shaping optical system is within the range and the movable range of the mask stage.
此外,在圖7中,當在使受體基板(R)進行一次掃描期間(其中也包含中途停止)使用以相同速度多次或往返對供體基板(D)進行掃描的轉移工序等情況下,圖6所示的光罩圖案可以不是一列,而是可以採用多列圖案(但是鐳射照射在該光罩圖案中間歇且選擇性地進行照射。圖7中表示為3×2列的矩陣)。由此,能夠使用與受體基板相比尺寸小的供體基板。In addition, in FIG7, when a transfer process is used in which the donor substrate (D) is scanned multiple times or back and forth at the same speed while the receptor substrate (R) is scanned once (including stopping in the middle), the mask pattern shown in FIG6 may not be a single row, but a multi-row pattern (however, laser irradiation is intermittently and selectively irradiated in the mask pattern. FIG7 shows a matrix of 3×2 rows). This allows the use of a donor substrate that is smaller in size than the receptor substrate.
通過了所述光罩圖案的鐳射通過落射鏡將其傳輸方向改變為朝向鉛垂下方(-Z方向)並射入投影透鏡。該投影透鏡設有248nm用的反射防止膜,具有1/5的縮小倍率。詳細如下表1所示。The laser light that has passed through the mask pattern is redirected by a mirror to face vertically downward (-Z direction) and enters a projection lens. The projection lens is provided with an anti-reflection film for 248nm and has a reduction ratio of 1/5. The details are shown in Table 1 below.
[表1]
從投影透鏡射出的鐳射從供體基板的背面射入,以所述光罩圖案的1/5的縮小尺寸準確地向形成於其表面(下表面)的光吸收層的規定位置進行投影。在此,以預先附加於供體基板的對準標記等為基準,通過供體台的X軸(Xd)、Y軸(Yd)和θ軸(θd)進行調整後,決定XY平面內的規定位置。The laser light emitted from the projection lens enters from the back of the donor substrate and is accurately projected onto the predetermined position of the light absorbing layer formed on its surface (lower surface) at a scaled-down size of 1/5 of the mask pattern. Here, the predetermined position in the XY plane is determined by adjusting the X-axis (Xd), Y-axis (Yd), and θ-axis (θd) of the donor stage based on the alignment marks previously added to the donor substrate.
為了調整成由投影透鏡生成的光罩圖案的圖像面聚焦於供體基板的表面和光吸收層的邊介面,調整投影透鏡的Z軸台(Zl)和放置有場鏡(F)的光罩台的W軸的位置。另外,雖然可以追加供體基板的Z軸方向的調整功能(Z軸台),但是需要考慮因向供體台的X軸(Xd)增加加重負荷導致的轉移位置精度的下降。In order to adjust the image plane of the mask pattern generated by the projection lens to focus on the surface of the donor substrate and the edge interface of the light absorbing layer, adjust the position of the Z-axis stage (Zl) of the projection lens and the W-axis of the mask stage where the field lens (F) is placed. In addition, although the adjustment function of the Z-axis direction of the donor substrate can be added (Z-axis stage), it is necessary to consider the decrease in transfer position accuracy caused by adding a heavy load to the X-axis (Xd) of the donor stage.
調整供體基板表面和光吸收層的邊介面的成像位置時,使用在焦平面上具有與像平面為共軛關係的平面的共焦點光束輪廓儀(BP)的即時監測是有效的。圖8表示該調整畫面的情況。在本實施例1中,即時且以高解析度監測縮小成像於供體基板表面和光吸收層的邊介面的鐳射的空間強度分佈。When adjusting the imaging position of the edge interface between the donor substrate surface and the light absorbing layer, it is effective to use a confocal beam profiler (BP) with a plane on the focal plane that is conjugated with the image plane to monitor in real time. Figure 8 shows the adjustment screen. In this embodiment 1, the spatial intensity distribution of the laser light imaged at the edge interface between the donor substrate surface and the light absorbing layer is monitored in real time and with high resolution.
以上是與從鐳射裝置射出的脈衝鐳射的傳輸有關的本實施例1的裝置結構所實現的功能。The above are the functions realized by the device structure of the present embodiment 1 related to the transmission of the pulse laser emitted from the laser device.
接著,簡單說明在本發明的裝置中如何使用本實施例1的結構以機械方式實現受體台的Y軸(Yr)與供體台的Y軸(Yd)的平行度。Next, it is briefly described how to use the structure of Example 1 in the device of the present invention to mechanically achieve the parallelism of the Y axis (Yr) of the receptor stage and the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage.
各台如圖1A所示,在石平臺1(G1)上放置供體台的X軸(Xd),並且在其上放置光學台(Xo)。受體台組(Yr、θr、Zr)放置在石平臺2(G2)上。此外,整體構建在基礎平臺(G)上。此外,轉動調整機構(RP)設置在G1和Xd之間、Xo和Xd之間、以及Xd和Yd之間(省略圖示)。As shown in FIG1A , the X-axis (Xd) of the donor stage is placed on the stone stage 1 (G1), and the optical stage (Xo) is placed on it. The acceptor stage group (Yr, θr, Zr) is placed on the stone stage 2 (G2). In addition, the entire structure is constructed on the base stage (G). In addition, the rotation adjustment mechanism (RP) is set between G1 and Xd, between Xo and Xd, and between Xd and Yd (not shown).
另外,為了調整各台的軸的垂直度和平行度,代替供體基板使用保持在供體臺上的調整基板AD,並且代替受體基板使用放置在受體臺上的調整基板AR。在任意一個調整基板上作為對準線描繪有表示準確地形成直角的X軸(對準線X)和Y軸(對準線Y)的線,並且在規定的位置(間隔)處也附加有標記。In addition, in order to adjust the verticality and parallelism of the axes of each stage, an adjustment substrate AD held on the donor stage is used instead of the donor substrate, and an adjustment substrate AR placed on the receptor stage is used instead of the receptor substrate. Lines representing the X axis (alignment line X) and the Y axis (alignment line Y) that form a right angle are drawn on either adjustment substrate as alignment lines, and marks are also added at predetermined positions (intervals).
1)Yr與AR(Y)的平行度(Yr與AR(X)的垂直度)1) Parallelism between Yr and AR (Y) (perpendicularity between Yr and AR (X))
為了調整受體台的Y軸(Yr)與調整基板AR上的對準線Y的平行度,通過高倍率CCD照相機觀察放置在受體台的Z軸(Zr)上的調整基板AR,所述高倍率CCD照相機固定在光學台(Xo)上或設置於光學台(Xo)的投影透鏡用的Z軸臺上。使所述Yr軸移動400[mm],以使對準線Y的X軸方向的偏差量在1[μm]以內的方式使用受體台的θ軸(θr)進行調整。另外,此時的台的移動距離在台的有效行程的範圍內,此外,應容許的偏差量根據所要求的轉移精度而變化。(以下相同)In order to adjust the parallelism between the Y axis (Yr) of the receptor stage and the alignment line Y on the adjustment substrate AR, the adjustment substrate AR placed on the Z axis (Zr) of the receptor stage is observed by a high-magnification CCD camera fixed on the optical table (Xo) or on the Z axis stage for the projection lens of the optical table (Xo). The Yr axis is moved 400 [mm] to adjust the alignment line Y in the X axis direction within 1 [μm] using the θ axis (θr) of the receptor stage. In addition, the moving distance of the stage at this time is within the effective stroke range of the stage, and the allowable deviation varies depending on the required transfer accuracy. (The same applies hereinafter)
2)AR(X)與Xd的平行度(Yr與Xd的垂直度)2) Parallelism between AR (X) and Xd (perpendicularity between Yr and Xd)
接著,使用通過上述方式調整了的調整基板AR的對準線X,通過高倍率CCD照相機邊觀察邊調整供體台的X軸(Xd)與受體台的Y軸(Yr)的垂直度,所述高倍率CCD照相機同樣固定在光學台(Xo)上或設置於光學台(Xo)的投影透鏡用的Z軸臺上。使所述Xd軸移動400[mm],以使對準線X的Y軸方向的偏差量在1[μm]以內的方式使用所述G1與Xd之間的轉動調整機構調整兩者的安裝角度,並且調整G1與Xd亦即Xd相對於Yr的安裝角度。Next, the alignment line X of the adjustment substrate AR adjusted in the above manner is used to adjust the perpendicularity of the X axis (Xd) of the donor stage and the Y axis (Yr) of the receptor stage while observing with a high-magnification CCD camera, which is also fixed on the optical table (Xo) or installed on the Z axis table for the projection lens of the optical table (Xo). The Xd axis is moved 400 [mm], and the mounting angle of the two is adjusted using the rotation adjustment mechanism between G1 and Xd so that the deviation amount of the alignment line X in the Y axis direction is within 1 [μm], and the mounting angle of G1 and Xd, that is, the mounting angle of Xd relative to Yr is adjusted.
3)AR(X)與Xo的平行度(Yr與Xo的垂直度、Xd與Xo的平行度)3) Parallelism between AR (X) and Xo (perpendicularity between Yr and Xo, parallelism between Xd and Xo)
使用通過上述方式調整了的調整基板AR的對準線X,通過高倍率CCD照相機邊觀察邊調整光學台(Xo)與供體台的X軸(Xd)的平行度,所述高倍率CCD照相機固定在光學台(Xo)上或設置於該光學台(Xo)的投影透鏡用的Z軸臺上。使所述Xo軸移動200[mm],以使對準線X的Y軸方向的偏差量在0.5[μm]以內的方式通過兩者間的轉動調整機構調整光學台(Xo)相對於供體台的X軸(Xd)的平行度。Using the alignment line X of the adjustment substrate AR adjusted in the above manner, the parallelism of the optical table (Xo) and the X-axis (Xd) of the donor table is adjusted while being observed by a high-magnification CCD camera, wherein the high-magnification CCD camera is fixed to the optical table (Xo) or is disposed on the Z-axis table for the projection lens of the optical table (Xo). The Xo axis is moved by 200 [mm], and the parallelism of the optical table (Xo) relative to the X-axis (Xd) of the donor table is adjusted by a rotation adjustment mechanism between the two so that the deviation amount of the alignment line X in the Y-axis direction is within 0.5 [μm].
4)Yd與AD(Y)的平行度4) Parallelism between Yd and AD (Y)
為了調整供體台的Y軸(Yd)與調整基板AD上的對準線Y的平行度,通過高倍率CCD照相機觀察保持在供體台的θ軸(θd)上的調整基板AD,所述高倍率CCD照相機固定在光學台(Xo)上或設置於該光學台(Xo)的投影透鏡用的Z軸臺上。使所述Yd軸移動200[mm],以使對準線Y的X軸方向的偏差量在0.5[μm]以內的方式使用供體台的θ軸(θd)進行調整。In order to adjust the parallelism between the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage and the alignment line Y on the adjustment substrate AD, the adjustment substrate AD held on the θ axis (θd) of the donor stage is observed by a high-magnification CCD camera fixed to the optical table (Xo) or installed on the Z axis stage for the projection lens of the optical table (Xo). The Yd axis is moved 200 [mm], and the θ axis (θd) of the donor stage is used to adjust so that the deviation of the alignment line Y in the X axis direction is within 0.5 [μm].
5)AD(X)與Xo的平行度(AD(X)與Xd的平行度、Xd與Yd的垂直度)5) Parallelism between AD (X) and Xo (Parallelism between AD (X) and Xd, Perpendicularity between Xd and Yd)
為了調整供體台的X軸(Xd)與供體台的Y軸(Yd)的垂直度,通過高倍率CCD照相機觀察調整基板AD上的對準線X,所述高倍率CCD照相機固定在已對與供體台的X軸(Xd)的平行度進行了調整的光學台(Xo)上或設置於該光學台(Xo)的投影透鏡用的Z軸臺上。使該光學台(Xo)移動200[mm],以使對準線X的Y軸方向的偏差量在0.5[μm]以內的方式通過兩者間的轉動調整機構來調整與懸掛設置於供體台的X軸(Xd)上的供體台的Y軸(Yd)的垂直度。In order to adjust the perpendicularity between the X-axis (Xd) of the donor stage and the Y-axis (Yd) of the donor stage, the alignment line X on the substrate AD is observed and adjusted by a high-magnification CCD camera fixed to an optical table (Xo) whose parallelism with the X-axis (Xd) of the donor stage has been adjusted or to a Z-axis table for a projection lens set on the optical table (Xo). The optical table (Xo) is moved 200 [mm], and the perpendicularity with the Y-axis (Yd) of the donor stage suspended on the X-axis (Xd) of the donor stage is adjusted by a rotation adjustment mechanism between the two so that the deviation amount of the alignment line X in the Y-axis direction is within 0.5 [μm].
6)AD(Y)與Yr的平行度(Yd與Yr的平行度)6) Parallelism between AD (Y) and Yr (Parallelism between Yd and Yr)
最後,為了確認供體台的Y軸(Yd)與受體台的Y軸(Yr)的平行度,在供體台的Y軸(Yd)上安裝高倍率CCD照相機,觀察放置在對置的受體臺上的調整基板AR的對準線Y。此時,預先取下調整基板AD。移動供體台的X軸(Xd),以使所述高倍率CCD照相機能夠觀察受體台的任意一端。接著,使供體台的Y軸(Yd)移動400[mm],確認對準線Y的X軸方向的偏差量是否在1[μm]以內。此外,為了對受體台的另一端也進行同樣的確認,在使Xd移動到該另一端之後,再使Yd移動400[mm],確認對準線Y的X軸方向的偏差量在1[μm]以內。另外,也可以使Yd和Yr並進並觀察對準標記的位置變化。Finally, in order to check the parallelism between the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage and the Y axis (Yr) of the receptor stage, a high-magnification CCD camera is mounted on the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage, and the alignment line Y of the adjustment substrate AR placed on the opposing receptor stage is observed. At this time, the adjustment substrate AD is removed in advance. The X axis (Xd) of the donor stage is moved so that the high-magnification CCD camera can observe either end of the receptor stage. Next, the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage is moved 400 [mm] to check whether the deviation of the alignment line Y in the X axis direction is within 1 [μm]. In order to perform the same check on the other end of the receptor stage, after moving Xd to the other end, move Yd 400 [mm] to check that the deviation in the X-axis direction of the alignment line Y is within 1 [μm]. Alternatively, Yd and Yr may be moved in parallel to observe the position change of the alignment mark.
另外,在將高倍率CCD照相機安裝在供體台的Y軸(Yd)上的情況下,根據供體台的X軸的位置和石平臺1的形狀(開口),存在該高倍率CCD照相機與它們接觸的可能性。在該情況下,不將高倍率CCD照相機安裝在Yd上而是安裝在受體台的Z軸(Zr)上,通過使受體台的Y軸(Yr)移動200[mm],也能夠觀察調整基板AD的對準線Y並確認其X軸方向的偏差量。In addition, when the high-magnification CCD camera is mounted on the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage, there is a possibility that the high-magnification CCD camera comes into contact with the position of the X axis of the donor stage and the shape (opening) of the stone platform 1. In this case, the high-magnification CCD camera is mounted on the Z axis (Zr) of the acceptor stage instead of Yd, and the Y axis (Yr) of the acceptor stage is moved by 200 [mm], so that the alignment line Y of the adjustment substrate AD can be observed and the amount of deviation in the X axis direction can be confirmed.
由於石平臺1(G1)和石平臺2獨立地支承各台,並且Yd懸掛設置於設置在G1上的Xd,所以雖然不能直接調整Yr與Yd的平行度,但是能夠如上所述一步一步地以[μrad]數量級進行Yr與Yd的平行度的調整。另外,由於以所述1)至6)的順序按照調整步驟,平行度(垂直度)的誤差累積,所以理想的是以將初期階段的容許偏差量抑制為盡可能小的方式進行調整。此外,所述1)至6)的調整步驟雖然記載了XY平面的各台的平行度和垂直度的調整,但是也需要進行其它軸(X軸和Y軸)的調整。Since the stone platform 1 (G1) and the stone platform 2 independently support each stage, and Yd is suspended from Xd installed on G1, although the parallelism of Yr and Yd cannot be adjusted directly, the parallelism of Yr and Yd can be adjusted step by step in the order of [μrad] as described above. In addition, since the error of parallelism (perpendicularity) accumulates according to the adjustment steps in the order of 1) to 6), it is ideal to adjust in a way that the allowable deviation amount in the initial stage is suppressed to the minimum possible. In addition, although the adjustment steps 1) to 6) describe the adjustment of the parallelism and perpendicularity of each stage in the XY plane, it is also necessary to adjust the other axes (X axis and Y axis).
接著,參照圖9A至9C,說明本實施例1的轉移時的供體基板和受體基板的掃描。在此,圖9A至9C的俯視是操作者位於這些圖的左側且供體基板(D)和受體基板(R)相對於該操作者沿前後進行掃描的圖。Next, referring to Figures 9A to 9C, the scanning of the donor substrate and the receptor substrate during transfer in this embodiment 1 is described. Here, the top view of Figures 9A to 9C is a diagram in which the operator is located on the left side of these figures and the donor substrate (D) and the receptor substrate (R) are scanned in the front and back direction relative to the operator.
首先,在供體基板的整個表面上測量吸附並設置在供體台的θ軸(θd)上的供體基板的彎曲量,並將其與位置資訊一起作為二維資料進行製圖。該資訊用作與在轉移工序中移動的供體台的X軸(Xd)和Y軸(Yd)對應的受體台的Z軸(Zr)的修正量。First, the bending amount of the donor substrate adsorbed and set on the θ axis (θd) of the donor stage is measured over the entire surface of the donor substrate and mapped together with the position information as two-dimensional data. This information is used as the correction amount of the Z axis (Zr) of the acceptor stage corresponding to the X axis (Xd) and Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage moved in the transfer process.
此外,在以下的說明中,為了便於說明,把從操作者觀察時受體基板(R)和供體基板(D)的左邊眼前側的規定位置定義為各基板的原點。此外,將向受體基板的原點照射鐳射時的光學台(Xo)和受體台(Yr、θr)的位置分別定義為原點。此外,在供體基板中,將所述鐳射(LS)照射時的供體台(Xd、Yd、θd)的位置也定義為各自的原點。但是,各台的原點並不限定於其行程範圍的一端,是用於此後的轉移工序和基板的取下而留出移動的行程部分的位置。In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the predetermined position in front of the left eye of the acceptor substrate (R) and the donor substrate (D) when viewed from the operator is defined as the origin of each substrate. In addition, the positions of the optical stage (Xo) and the acceptor stage (Yr, θr) when the laser is irradiated to the origin of the acceptor substrate are defined as the origins, respectively. In addition, in the donor substrate, the positions of the donor stage (Xd, Yd, θd) when the laser (LS) is irradiated are also defined as the respective origins. However, the origin of each stage is not limited to one end of its stroke range, but is a position where a portion of the stroke is left for movement for the subsequent transfer process and removal of the substrate.
圖9A表示向位於原點位置的供體基板(D)和受體基板(R)照射鐳射(LS)的最初脈衝的情況。在此,圖示了側視(側視圖)和俯視(俯視圖)兩者。單點劃線表示鐳射通過縮小投影光學系統向對象物(S)照射的情況,接受了該照射的10×10[μm]的區域的光吸收層(省略圖示)吸收鐳射,消融(ablation)並產生衝擊波,由此相同區域的對象物被轉移到對置的受體基板上。圖示的對象物雖然是三個,但是在本實施例1的情況下,合計300個對象物一次向受體基板轉移。FIG9A shows the initial pulse of laser (LS) irradiating the donor substrate (D) and the receptor substrate (R) at the origin. Here, both the side view (side view) and the top view (top view) are shown. The dotted line shows that the laser is irradiated to the object (S) through the reduced projection optical system, and the light absorption layer (not shown) in the 10×10 [μm] area receiving the irradiation absorbs the laser, ablates (ablation) and generates a shock wave, thereby transferring the object in the same area to the opposite receptor substrate. Although three objects are shown in the figure, in the case of this embodiment 1, a total of 300 objects are transferred to the receptor substrate at one time.
在本實施例1中,鐳射裝置以200[Hz]振盪,此外,由於通過一次照射進行轉移,所以受體台(Yr)到下次的照射位置為止不使受體基板停止地以速度6[mm/s]向-Y方向進行掃描。In the first embodiment, the laser device oscillates at 200 [Hz], and since the transfer is performed after one irradiation, the receptor stage (Yr) scans in the -Y direction at a speed of 6 [mm/s] without stopping the receptor substrate until the next irradiation position.
另一方面,供體台的Y軸(Yd)在實現與所述受體台的Y軸(Yr)的位置的同步的同時,不使供體基板停止地以速度3[mm/s]朝向相同的-Y方向進行掃描。即,Yd與Yr的移動速度比(齒輪比(gear ratio))是1:2。圖9B表示各基板移動後的第二次照射的情況。On the other hand, the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage is synchronized with the Y axis (Yr) of the receptor stage, and the donor substrate is scanned at a speed of 3 [mm/s] in the same -Y direction without stopping. That is, the moving speed ratio (gear ratio) of Yd and Yr is 1:2. FIG9B shows the second irradiation after each substrate is moved.
以Yr為基準(主(master))並將Yd作為從屬(從(slave)),使用台系統的齒輪指令,通過使兩個台進行齒輪模式同步動作來進行Yr與Yd的位置的同步。在控制系統中使用可程式設計的多軸控制裝置。With Yr as the master and Yd as the slave, the positions of Yr and Yd are synchronized by making the two stages perform gear pattern synchronization using the stage system's gear instructions. A programmable multi-axis control device is used in the control system.
此外,為了確定所述齒輪指令的齒輪比,使用由鐳射干涉計測量的台位置的實際測量值。安裝角錐稜鏡(Ic),將波長632.8[nm]的氦氖 (He-Ne)鐳射(IL)和受光部(圖5A中省略圖示)設置在石平臺2(或同等的不動位置)上,所述角錐稜鏡(Ic)與Yr的移動台一起移動且在受體基板的附近構成鐳射干涉計。同樣地,在Yd的移動台側面安裝角錐稜鏡,將干涉計用鐳射和受光部(圖5B中省略圖示)設置在Xd上。由此,實現各台的準確的位置同步。In addition, in order to determine the gear ratio of the gear instruction, the actual measurement value of the stage position measured by the laser interferometer is used. A pyramidal prism (Ic) is installed, and a helium-neon (He-Ne) laser (IL) with a wavelength of 632.8 [nm] and a light receiving unit (not shown in FIG. 5A) are set on the stone platform 2 (or an equivalent fixed position). The pyramidal prism (Ic) moves together with the moving stage of Yr and constitutes a laser interferometer near the receptor substrate. Similarly, a pyramidal prism is installed on the side of the moving stage of Yd, and the interferometer laser and light receiving unit (not shown in FIG. 5B) are set on Xd. In this way, accurate position synchronization of each stage is achieved.
如上所述,各台在原點的位置以已經成為穩定的等速度運動的方式從原點的眼前一側的位置開始加速。在該加速時間內和台到達原點為止的時間內,需要切斷雷射脈衝,以使鐳射不向供體基板照射。因此,從可程式設計的多軸控制裝置以高精度向鐳射裝置發送外部振盪觸發信號或高速光閘的動作開始觸發信號以及台驅動信號。As described above, each stage starts accelerating from the position on the front side of the origin in a manner that has become a stable constant speed motion. During this acceleration time and the time until the stage reaches the origin, the laser pulse needs to be cut off so that the laser does not irradiate the donor substrate. Therefore, an external oscillation trigger signal or a high-speed photogate action start trigger signal and a stage drive signal are sent to the laser device with high precision from a programmable multi-axis control device.
此外,圖9C表示第三次照射的情況。從圖中可以看出如下情況:相對於供體基板(D)的移動距離,受體基板(R)的移動距離是兩倍。此後也同樣,受體基板和供體基板繼續移動。FIG9C shows the third irradiation. It can be seen from the figure that the moving distance of the acceptor substrate (R) is twice the moving distance of the donor substrate (D). After that, the acceptor substrate and the donor substrate continue to move in the same way.
當供體基板向-Y方向掃描180[mm]並結束時,同樣地當受體基板向-Y方向掃描360[mm]並結束時,鐳射裝置的振盪暫時停止,或者用高速光閘切斷鐳射的照射。通過該距離的掃描,沿X軸方向排列300個的對象物沿受體基板的Y軸方向被轉移12000行合計360萬個。圖10表示該情況。When the donor substrate is scanned 180 [mm] in the -Y direction and ends, similarly, when the receptor substrate is scanned 360 [mm] in the -Y direction and ends, the oscillation of the laser device is temporarily stopped, or the laser irradiation is cut off by a high-speed light gate. By scanning this distance, 300 objects arranged in the X-axis direction are transferred 12,000 rows in the Y-axis direction of the receptor substrate, totaling 3.6 million objects. Figure 10 shows this situation.
在所述停止時間內,受體台的Y軸(Yr)和供體台的Y軸(Yd)都返回原點。(但是考慮下次掃描的加速距離。以下相同)另一方面,供體台的X軸(Xd)與之前的原點相比返回到-9[mm]的位置。此外,從新的區域開始再次開始轉移工序。以下,反復進行上述動作。During the stop time, the Y axis (Yr) of the recipient stage and the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage return to the origin. (However, the acceleration distance of the next scan is taken into consideration. The same applies below.) On the other hand, the X axis (Xd) of the donor stage returns to a position of -9 [mm] compared to the previous origin. In addition, the transfer process starts again from a new area. The above actions are repeated below.
圖11表示在Xd的-9[mm]×20次的步驟(step)移動結束後,這次從之前的原點(用虛線圖示)向-X方向返回到15[μm]的位置(用實線圖示),將該點作為新的原點並開始同樣的動作之前的情況。此後,反復進行兩個台的Y軸掃描(180[mm](Yd)和360[mm](Yr))與Xd的-9[mm]×20次的步驟操作。由此,在最初的Xd的180[mm]掃描(-9[mm]的20次步驟移動)期間向未受到鐳射的照射的區域(圖中用單點劃線圖示了下次的鐳射(LS)的照射預定區域)照射鐳射,能夠不浪費且更多地向受體基板轉移供體基板上的對象物。Figure 11 shows the situation before the -9[mm]×20-times step movement of Xd is completed and the position 15[μm] (shown by the solid line) is returned to the -X direction from the previous origin (shown by the dotted line) and the same movement is started with this point as the new origin. After that, the Y-axis scanning of the two stages (180[mm] (Yd) and 360[mm] (Yr)) and the -9[mm]×20-times step operation of Xd are repeated. Thus, by irradiating the area that has not been irradiated with the laser (the area scheduled for irradiation with the next laser (LS) is indicated by a single-point line in the figure) with the laser during the initial 180 [mm] scan of Xd (20 step movements of -9 [mm]), the object on the donor substrate can be transferred to the receptor substrate without waste and in larger quantities.
另外,大約的加工時間是360[mm]/6[mm/s]×40[次]=2400[s]。另外,在該時間中不包含受體台的Y軸(Yr)移動其加減速所需要的距離的時間和每次Y軸掃描到返回到原點為止的時間。此外,通過將準分子雷射器的重複頻率提高到1[kHz],上述加工時間能夠縮短1/5。The approximate processing time is 360 [mm] / 6 [mm/s] × 40 [times] = 2400 [s]. In addition, this time does not include the time required for the Y-axis (Yr) of the receptor stage to move the distance required for acceleration and deceleration and the time required for each Y-axis scan to return to the origin. In addition, by increasing the repetition frequency of the excimer laser to 1 [kHz], the above processing time can be shortened by 1/5.
圖12表示通過本實施例1的裝置結構,以同步並進的方式將受體台的Y軸(Yr)作為基準(主),以移動速度150[mm/s] 使受體台移動400[mm]的距離,且將供體台的Y軸(Yd)作為從屬,(從)以移動速度75[mm/s] 使供體台移動200[mm]的距離的情況下,兩個台的同步位置誤差。具體地說,將橫軸作為與受體台的移動速度對應的經過時間描繪了誤差量(δYr)與誤差量(δYd)的差(ΔYdr=δYd-δYr),所述誤差量(δYr)是在作為基準(主)的Yr上從其線性編碼器得到的位置資訊與通過鐳射干涉計測量到的位置資訊的誤差量,所述誤差量(δYd)是在作為以上述1/2的速度同步移動的從屬(從)的Yd上從其線性編碼器得到的位置資訊與通過鐳射干涉計測量到的位置資訊的誤差量。從其結果可以看出,在400mm的移動距離內達成了±1[μm]以內的位置同步精度。FIG12 shows the synchronous position error of the two stages when the Y axis (Yr) of the acceptor stage is used as the reference (master) and the acceptor stage is moved a distance of 400 [mm] at a moving speed of 150 [mm/s] in a synchronous manner, and the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage is used as the slave and the donor stage is moved a distance of 200 [mm] at a moving speed of 75 [mm/s] by using the device structure of the present embodiment 1. Specifically, the error (δYr) between the position information obtained from the linear encoder on Yr, which is the reference (master), and the position information measured by the laser interferometer, and the error (δYd) between the position information obtained from the linear encoder on Yd, which is the slave (slave) moving synchronously at 1/2 of the above speed, are plotted as the elapsed time corresponding to the moving speed of the subject stage (ΔYdr = δYd-δYr). From the results, it can be seen that the position synchronization accuracy within ±1 [μm] is achieved within a moving distance of 400mm.
如上所述,本實施例1的對象物向受體基板的轉移圖案(pattern)是以間隔30[μm] 將10×10[μm]以矩陣狀進行轉移,但是例如如果將該間隔設為60[μm],則能夠用一個供體基板進行四個受體基板的轉移。As described above, the transfer pattern of the object to the receptor substrate in Example 1 is to transfer 10×10 [μm] in a matrix at intervals of 30 [μm]. However, if the interval is set to 60 [μm], for example, four receptor substrates can be transferred using one donor substrate.
[實施例2][Example 2]
在本實施例2中與實施例1中供體基板表面上的對象物是一片的層狀態不同,是如下的實施例:將在相同尺寸為200×200[mm]的供體基板上形成為矩陣狀的、一個形狀為10×10[μm]、間隔為15[μm]的合計144百萬個的對象物,以供體基板的1/2的密度即以30[μm]的間隔且以相同的矩陣狀向尺寸為400×400[mm]的受體基板轉移。In this embodiment 2, unlike the embodiment 1 in which the object on the surface of the donor substrate is in a layered state, the embodiment is as follows: a total of 144 million objects with a shape of 10×10 [μm] and a spacing of 15 [μm] formed in a matrix on a donor substrate of the same size of 200×200 [mm] are transferred to a receiving substrate of the size of 400×400 [mm] at a density of 1/2 of the donor substrate, i.e., at a spacing of 30 [μm] and in the same matrix.
最終,向受體基板轉移的對象物的配置情況與實施例1相同,但是不同點在於,在本實施例2中,預先在供體基板上也以兩倍的密度同樣配置有對象物,並且將其以±1[μm]的位置精度向受體基板上轉移。此外,在該情況下,與實施例1相比,進一步嚴格要求供體台的Y軸(Yd)和受體台的Y軸(Yr)的位置同步精度。Finally, the arrangement of the object to be transferred to the acceptor substrate is the same as in Example 1, but the difference is that in this Example 2, the object is also arranged on the donor substrate in advance at twice the density, and it is transferred to the acceptor substrate with a positional accuracy of ±1 [μm]. In addition, in this case, compared with Example 1, the position synchronization accuracy of the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage and the Y axis (Yr) of the acceptor stage is more strictly required.
在圖13A至圖13C中表示與實施例1同樣,在位於原點位置的供體基板(D)和受體基板(R)上從照射鐳射(LS)的最初的脈衝的情況到第三次照射的情況。FIGS. 13A to 13C show the situation from the first pulse of laser (LS) irradiation to the third pulse irradiation on the donor substrate (D) and the receptor substrate (R) located at the origin position, similarly to Example 1.

[實施例3][Example 3]
在本實施例3中,將供體基板表面上的對象物向受體基板轉移的方法與實施例1或實施例2相同。另一方面,各台的Y軸彼此的平行度和X軸彼此的平行度、以及各Y軸與X軸的垂直度的調整方法與所述實施例不同。即,實施例1中記載的調整方法如下:為了調整受體台的Y軸(Yr)與供體台的Y軸(Yd)的平行度,進行所述1)至6)的調整步驟,相對於此,在本實施例3中,在調整步驟早期階段調整上述Yr與Yd的平行度。In the present embodiment 3, the method of transferring the object on the surface of the donor substrate to the acceptor substrate is the same as that of the embodiment 1 or the embodiment 2. On the other hand, the method of adjusting the parallelism between the Y axes of each stage and the parallelism between the X axes, and the perpendicularity between each Y axis and the X axis is different from the above embodiments. That is, the adjustment method described in the embodiment 1 is as follows: in order to adjust the parallelism between the Y axis (Yr) of the acceptor stage and the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage, the adjustment steps 1) to 6) are performed, while in the present embodiment 3, the parallelism between the Yr and Yd is adjusted at the early stage of the adjustment step.
1)Yr、θr、Zr的直線度1) Straightness of Yr, θr, and Zr
該調整步驟是作為與所述實施例1和實施例2共通的前提的調整步驟。使用鐳射干涉計等調整設置在石平臺2(G2)上的受體台的Y軸(Yr)和設置在其上的θ軸(θr)、以及同樣的Z軸(Zr)和受體基板的支架的直線度(相對於作為將水平面作為XY平面時的鉛垂方向的Z軸的直線度)。另外,基本上在該調整後,未進行有可能影響受體台組的垂直度的調整,其它台的調整全部以上述受體台組的例如其最上表面為基準進行。This adjustment step is an adjustment step that is common to the above-mentioned Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2. The Y axis (Yr) of the receptor stage set on the stone platform 2 (G2) and the θ axis (θr) set thereon, as well as the Z axis (Zr) and the straightness of the holder of the receptor substrate (the straightness of the Z axis relative to the vertical direction when the horizontal plane is the XY plane) are adjusted using a laser interferometer or the like. In addition, basically after this adjustment, no adjustment that may affect the verticality of the receptor stage group is performed, and all adjustments of other stages are performed based on, for example, the uppermost surface of the above-mentioned receptor stage group.
2)Yr與AR(Y)的平行度(Yr與AR(X)的垂直度)2) Parallelism between Yr and AR (Y) (perpendicularity between Yr and AR (X))
與實施例1的調整步驟1)同樣,調整受體台的Y軸(Yr)與調整基板AR上的對準線Y的平行度。由此,也調整了Yr與對準線X的垂直度。另外,在不使用調整基板AR而使用在Yr上進行直接描繪等而得到的對準線或對準標記的情況下,可以省略該調整步驟1)。As in the adjustment step 1) of Example 1, the parallelism between the Y axis (Yr) of the receptor stage and the alignment line Y on the adjustment substrate AR is adjusted. Thus, the perpendicularity between Yr and the alignment line X is also adjusted. In addition, when the adjustment substrate AR is not used and an alignment line or alignment mark obtained by directly drawing on Yr is used, this adjustment step 1) can be omitted.
3)AR(X)與Xd的平行度(Yr與Xd的垂直度)3) Parallelism between AR (X) and Xd (perpendicularity between Yr and Xd)
接著,通過設置於放置在供體台的X軸(Xd)上的光學台(Xo)的高倍率CCD照相機觀察調整基板AR的對準線X。上述高倍率CCD照相機的Z軸方向的位置是由投影光學系統的設計決定的,但是在本實施例3中,使用保持投影透鏡的Z軸台(Zl)固定在投影透鏡(Pl)的位置附近。使Xd移動400[mm],以對準線X的Y軸方向的偏差量在0.3[μm]以內的方式使用轉動調整機構調整Xd相對於石平臺1的安裝角度亦即Xd相對於Yr的垂直度。Next, the alignment line X of the substrate AR is observed and adjusted by a high-magnification CCD camera set on an optical table (Xo) placed on the X-axis (Xd) of the donor table. The position of the high-magnification CCD camera in the Z-axis direction is determined by the design of the projection optical system, but in this embodiment 3, a Z-axis table (Zl) holding the projection lens is fixed near the position of the projection lens (Pl). Xd is moved 400 [mm], and the installation angle of Xd relative to the stone table 1, that is, the verticality of Xd relative to Yr, is adjusted using a rotation adjustment mechanism so that the deviation amount of the alignment line X in the Y-axis direction is within 0.3 [μm].
4)Yr與Yd的YZ平面內的平行度4) Parallelism of Yr and Yd in the YZ plane
在實施例1的記載中,省略了其它軸系(X軸和Y軸)的調整步驟的記載,在此,簡單說明X軸系亦即YZ平面內的平行度的調整步驟。使用設置在受體台的Z軸(Zr)或其它部位上的高度感測器觀察供體台的Y軸(Yd)的下表面。使Yr與Yd同時同步移動(並行移動)200[mm]以上的相同距離,觀察間隙感測器的測量值(Zr與Yd的距離)的變化。以使該變化在5[μm]以內或與投影透鏡的成像的焦點深度相比在足夠小的範圍內的方式,將墊板***設置在Xd與Yd間的轉動調整機構和、Yd或Xd之間,調整Yr與Yd間的YZ平面內的平行度。In the description of Example 1, the description of the adjustment steps of other axis systems (X axis and Y axis) is omitted. Here, the adjustment steps of the parallelism of the X axis system, that is, the YZ plane, are briefly described. The lower surface of the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage is observed using a height sensor installed on the Z axis (Zr) or other parts of the recipient stage. Yr and Yd are moved synchronously (in parallel) at the same distance of more than 200 [mm], and the change of the measurement value (the distance between Zr and Yd) of the gap sensor is observed. In order to keep the change within 5 [μm] or within a sufficiently small range compared to the focal depth of the image formed by the projection lens, a pad is inserted into the rotation adjustment mechanism between Xd and Yd and between Yd or Xd to adjust the parallelism in the YZ plane between Yr and Yd.
5)Yr與Yd的平行度5) Parallelism between Yr and Yd
使用設置在Zr或其它部位的高倍率CCD照相機,觀察設置在Yd的下表面上的圖案匹配用的對準標記。在使Yr與Yd同步移動(並行移動)相同距離、圖案匹配的對準標記圖像(十字標記等)的位置沿X軸方向移動的情況下,使用設置在Xd與Yd間的轉動調整機構進行調整,以對其進行修正。另外,代替對準標記,也可以使用安裝在供體台的Y軸上的調整基板AD的對準線Y。The alignment mark for pattern matching provided on the lower surface of Yd is observed using a high-magnification CCD camera installed at Zr or other locations. When Yr and Yd are moved synchronously (in parallel) by the same distance and the position of the alignment mark image (cross mark, etc.) for pattern matching is moved along the X-axis direction, the rotation adjustment mechanism installed between Xd and Yd is used to adjust and correct it. In addition, instead of the alignment mark, the alignment line Y of the adjustment substrate AD installed on the Y-axis of the donor stage can also be used.
6)Yr與Xo的垂直度6) Perpendicularity between Yr and Xo
通過設置在光學台(Xo)上的高倍率CCD照相機,觀察通過所述調整步驟1)調整了與受體台的Y軸(Yr)的垂直度的調整基板AR的對準線X。使Xo移動400[mm],以使對準線X的Y軸方向的偏差量在0.3[μm]以內的方式,使用設置在兩者間的轉動調整機構調整Xo相對於Xd的安裝角度。The alignment line X of the adjustment substrate AR whose perpendicularity to the Y axis (Yr) of the receptor stage was adjusted in the adjustment step 1) was observed by a high-magnification CCD camera installed on the optical stage (Xo). Xo was moved 400 [mm] so that the deviation of the alignment line X in the Y axis direction was within 0.3 [μm], and the mounting angle of Xo relative to Xd was adjusted using a rotation adjustment mechanism installed between the two.
[實施例4][Example 4]
圖2A表示本實施例4的轉移裝置的主要結構部分。是將本發明中的第七發明作為基本結構的實施例。另外,在圖2A至2C中,省略了鐳射裝置、控制裝置和其它監視器等的圖示(這些全部與實施例1相同),圖中表示了X軸、Y軸和Z軸方向。此外,在本實施例4中使用的供體基板、受體基板、以及轉移對象物的供體基板上的配置和向受體基板轉移後的配置與實施例2相同。FIG. 2A shows the main structure of the transfer device of the present embodiment 4. This is an embodiment using the seventh invention of the present invention as a basic structure. In addition, in FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C, the illustration of the laser device, the control device, and other monitors, etc. (all of which are the same as those of the embodiment 1) is omitted, and the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions are shown in the figure. In addition, the donor substrate, the acceptor substrate, and the arrangement of the transfer object on the donor substrate and the arrangement after the transfer to the acceptor substrate used in the present embodiment 4 are the same as those of the embodiment 2.
脈衝鐳射從準分子雷射器裝置射出並照射到供體基板上的轉移對象物為止的光學系統的情況如以下所記載的,除了因分別由圖1A和圖2A所示的各台組的構建的不同而產生的部分以外,與實施例1相同。即,在圖1A至1C所示的第六發明的轉移裝置的情況下,在石平臺1(G1)上依次配置供體台的X軸(Xd)並在其上配置光學台(Xo),相對於此,在圖2A至2C所示的第七發明的轉移裝置的情況下,這些台組的構建的不同點在於:在G1上放置Xo且在G1的下方懸掛設置Xd。The optical system from which pulsed laser light is emitted from the excimer laser device to the transfer object on the donor substrate is as described below, and is the same as that of Embodiment 1 except for the difference in the construction of each stage assembly shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 2A. That is, in the case of the transfer device of the sixth invention shown in FIG. 1A to FIG. 1C, the X axis (Xd) of the donor stage is sequentially arranged on the stone stage 1 (G1) and the optical stage (Xo) is arranged thereon, whereas in the case of the transfer device of the seventh invention shown in FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C, the difference in the construction of these stage assemblies is that Xo is placed on G1 and Xd is suspended below G1.
來自準分子雷射器的射出光射入望遠鏡光學系統,並向其前方的整形光學系統傳播。如圖2A所示,上述整形光學系統在沿X軸方向移動的光學台(Xo)上設置成與其光軸平行。此外,Xo放置在花崗岩製的石平臺1(G1)上,在兩者間具有轉動調整機構(RP)。在此,Xo與放置在與G1不同的石平臺2(G2)上的受體台的Y軸(Yr)成直角,並與供體台的X軸(Xd)平行。另外,射入整形光學系統之前的鐳射由望遠鏡光學系統調整成與Xo的移動無關的大體相同的形狀(大體25×25[mm](縱×橫,FWHM))。The emitted light from the excimer laser enters the telescope optical system and propagates to the shaping optical system in front of it. As shown in Figure 2A, the above-mentioned shaping optical system is set parallel to its optical axis on an optical table (Xo) moving in the X-axis direction. In addition, Xo is placed on a stone platform 1 (G1) made of granite, and there is a rotation adjustment mechanism (RP) between the two. Here, Xo is at right angles to the Y axis (Yr) of the receptor table placed on a stone platform 2 (G2) different from G1, and is parallel to the X axis (Xd) of the donor table. In addition, the laser light before entering the shaping optical system is adjusted by the telescope optical system to a substantially identical shape (approximately 25×25 [mm] (vertical × horizontal, FWHM)) regardless of the movement of Xo.
供體台的X軸(Xd)懸掛設置在G1的下方,還懸掛設置有供體台的Y軸(Yd)。此外,在它們之間具有轉動調整機構。在圖2B中通過側視表示Xo和Xd相對於G1移動相同距離的情況。由此,能夠不改變Xo和Xd的X軸上的相對位置地改變相對於Yd的X軸方向的位置。此外,在圖2C中通過側視表示僅Xo相對於G1移動的情況。由此,能夠改變Xd和Xo的X軸上的相對位置。The X-axis (Xd) of the donor table is suspended below G1, and the Y-axis (Yd) of the donor table is also suspended. In addition, there is a rotation adjustment mechanism between them. FIG2B shows a case where Xo and Xd move the same distance relative to G1 by a side view. Thus, the position of X-axis direction relative to Yd can be changed without changing the relative position of Xo and Xd on the X-axis. In addition, FIG2C shows a case where only Xo moves relative to G1 by a side view. Thus, the relative position of Xd and Xo on the X-axis can be changed.
作為其它縮小投影光學系統的場鏡(F)、光罩(M)和投影透鏡(Pl)的詳細情況與實施例1相同,從投影透鏡射出的鐳射從供體基板的背面射入,並以描繪在所述光罩上的圖案的1/5的縮小尺寸,準確地朝向形成在其表面(下表面)上的轉移對象物投影。此外,供體基板表面上的成像的情況與實施例1同樣,由共焦點光束輪廓儀進行。The details of the field lens (F), mask (M) and projection lens (Pl) as other reduction projection optical systems are the same as those in Example 1. The laser light emitted from the projection lens enters from the back of the donor substrate and is accurately projected toward the transfer object formed on its surface (lower surface) at a reduced size of 1/5 of the pattern drawn on the mask. In addition, the imaging on the surface of the donor substrate is performed by a confocal beam profiler as in Example 1.
基於以如上所述的方式向配置在供體基板的表面上的轉移對象物進行縮小投影的光罩圖案,當將該轉移對象物向對置的受體基板轉移時,供體基板和受體基板以何種方式進行掃描、轉移對象物以何種方式向受體基板上轉移與圖6、圖10、圖11和圖13A至13C相同,此外,受體台的Y軸(Yr)和供體台的Y軸(Yd)的移動的位置同步精度與實施例1中所述的圖12相同。Based on the mask pattern that is projected in scale onto the transfer object arranged on the surface of the donor substrate in the manner described above, when the transfer object is transferred to the opposite receiver substrate, the manner in which the donor substrate and the receiver substrate are scanned and the manner in which the transfer object is transferred to the receiver substrate is the same as that in Figures 6, 10, 11 and 13A to 13C. In addition, the position synchronization accuracy of the movement of the Y-axis (Yr) of the receiver stage and the Y-axis (Yd) of the donor stage is the same as that in Figure 12 described in Example 1.
此外,各台的Y軸彼此的平行度和X軸彼此的平行度、以及各Y軸和X軸的垂直度的調整方法與實施例3相同。即,將進行了直線度調整的受體台的Y軸(Yr)作為調整的基準,通過固定在受體台的Z軸(Zr)上的高倍率CCD照相機觀察Yr與從石平臺1(G1)懸掛設置的供體台的X軸(Xd)的垂直度,並通過G1和Xd間的轉動調整機構(RP)進行調整。此外,通過相同的高倍率CCD照相機觀察懸掛設置於調整後的Xd上的供體台的Y軸(Yd)與Yr的平行度,並通過Xd和Yd間的RP進行調整。最後,通過與Xo一起移動的高倍率CCD觀察光學台(Xo)與Yr的垂直度,並通過G1與Xo間的RP進行調整。In addition, the method for adjusting the parallelism between the Y axes of each stage and the parallelism between the X axes, and the perpendicularity between each Y axis and the X axis is the same as that in Example 3. That is, the Y axis (Yr) of the acceptor stage whose straightness has been adjusted is used as the reference for adjustment, and the perpendicularity between Yr and the X axis (Xd) of the donor stage suspended from the stone stage 1 (G1) is observed by a high-magnification CCD camera fixed to the Z axis (Zr) of the acceptor stage, and adjustment is performed by a rotation adjustment mechanism (RP) between G1 and Xd. In addition, the parallelism between the Y axis (Yd) of the donor stage suspended on the adjusted Xd and Yr is observed by the same high-magnification CCD camera, and adjustment is performed by RP between Xd and Yd. Finally, the perpendicularity between the optical table (Xo) and Yr is observed by a high-magnification CCD that moves with Xo and adjusted by the RP between G1 and Xo.
