Abstract

The present invention provides a laser interferometer for measuring the Y-direction position of the moving object while moving in X direction that comprises a separated optical system moving with different speed from the moving object along the X direction. The laser beam is separated into reference beam and measurement beam by means of the separated optical system and those beams are incident on the reference lens and moving lens of the moving object respectively. Then, the reflected beams from the moving lens and the reference lens are received by the light measurement device through the separated optical system; and the photoelectric conversion signal of said interference light is outputted as the information of Y-directional position. Because the separated optical system also moves along the X direction, it is enough to use the fixed lens having shorter length than the moving object.

Description of the invention (7) [Technical category] This invention is about laser Interferometer, position measurement device, and exposure device 'more specifically' refers to a measurement beam reflected by a moving mirror and a reference beam reflected by a reference mirror to interfere with each other ', and the exposure device includes a laser interferometer for measuring the position of a moving body And a position measuring device, and a position measuring device using the interferometer or the position measuring device as at least one of a mask stage and a substrate stage. The present invention also relates to a method for measuring a position, and a method for manufacturing a laser interferometer, a position measuring device, and an exposure device. The laser interferometer and the position measuring device according to the present invention are particularly suitable for a scanning exposure device for manufacturing a display element such as a liquid crystal display panel or a plasma display panel. [Explanation of Related Technology] In recent years, in the manufacture of liquid crystal display panels, etc. In the lithographic printing process, in order to support the enlargement of the liquid crystal substrate, a scanning exposure device capable of exposing a large area at a time is often used. As such a scanning exposure device for liquid crystals, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-57986, an equal magnification erect projection optics formed by two partial optical systems including a refractive system and a concave mirror is provided. The system component uses a complex array to form a projection optical system, and relative to this projection optical system, the photomask and the photosensitive plate (substrate) are moved integrally to perform collective scanning exposure. However, if the liquid crystal substrate is enlarged, the scanning distance between the mask stage and the substrate stage will inevitably become longer for the scanning exposure apparatus for liquid crystal. Therefore, in order to use laser interferometers to measure the positions of the photomask and substrate platforms in non-scanning directions with high precision, the scanning directions beyond these platforms are longer.

In this publication, a beam splitter, a mirror, and a corner beam that separate laser light into a reference beam and a measurement beam are fixed on the platform. The reference mirror uses a fixed mirror consisting of a flat mirror longer than the platform, and a two-way laser interferometer is installed to measure the position of the platform in the non-scanning direction with high precision. However, recently, liquid crystal substrates have become larger. Therefore, it is becoming more and more difficult to refer to the technique described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-74692 as it is, and it is more and more difficult to determine the position in the non-scanning direction of the platform with high precision. This is due to the recent increase in the size of the substrate. The length of the above-mentioned fixed mirror becomes longer, so that it is gradually difficult to process and polish the reflecting surface with sufficient precision. In the future, liquid crystal substrates The trend of larger scale is beyond doubt, and the development of new technologies in response to this situation is an urgent task.

Next, the mask-side interferometer system will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In addition, since the photosensitive plate-side interferometer system and the photomask-side interferometer system have the same structure, the components corresponding to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are identified by adding {'} to the same symbol. The detailed description is as follows: Omit it. The mask-side interferometer system includes an X-interferometer for measuring the position of the mask stage 4 as a moving body in the scanning direction (X-axis direction), and a Y-interferometer for measuring the position in the non-scanning direction (Y-axis direction). Among these X interferometers and Y interferometers, the Michelson Morley type heterodyne method laser interferometer is actually the most widely used. These interferometers can be referred to, for example, those previously disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,767,971. The X interferometer is provided with a laser head 10, a polarized beam splitter 11, a moving mirror 12, a fixed mirror 13, and a quarter-wave plate (hereinafter referred to as a "1/4 λ plate") 14 as shown in FIG. 1 , 15, and receiver 16 and so on. The laser head 10 includes a light source and a measurement unit. As a light source, a two-cycle laser using the Saiman effect is used. Since the frequency of this light source has been stabilized, it can output different vibration frequencies of only 2 to 3 MHz (therefore, the wavelengths are also different) by using the Syman effect, and it has a Gaussian distribution containing the first deflection component and the second deflection component whose polarization directions are perpendicular to each other. Laser beam formed by a circular beam. The first polarized light component is a polarized light that is parallel to a light incident surface of the light separation surface (see FIG. 2A of FIG. 2) of the polarized beam splitter 11, that is, a surface that is parallel to the incident light to the light separation surface and a normal to the light separation surface.

The aforementioned polarizing beam splitter 11 passes a predetermined polarization component, The optical element that reflects the polarized light component perpendicular to this component is here to transmit the tritium component from the laser head 10 and reflect the V component to separate the tritium component and the V component. The moving mirror 12 is fixed on the mask platform 4 of the X axis direction The end face (on the X side) is a mirror that moves with the mask platform relative to the projection optical system. The fixed mirror 13 is fixed to a predetermined position in the device (for example, fixed to the projection optical system 1). Here, the description The components of this interferometer function. The laser light emitted from the laser head 10 enters the polarized beam splitter 11, and the incident laser light is separated into a chirped component (measurement beam) and a V component (reference beam). The reference beam (V component) reflected by the beam splitter 11 passes through the 1 / 4λ plate 15 and is converted into circularly polarized light. After being reflected by the fixed mirror 13, it passes through the 1 / 4λ plate 15 again in the opposite direction. Therefore, the polarization direction of the reference beam is converted to a direction perpendicular to the 1/4 wavelength plate 15 (the same polarization direction as that of the chirped component), which is incident on the receiver 16 through the polarization beam splitter 11.

Description of the invention ((+) 'will be transmitted through the 1 / 4λ plate 14 to circularly polarized light and reflected by the moving mirror 12, Opposite the previous direction, it transmits again through the 1/4 λ plate 14. By this, the polarization direction of the measuring beam is converted into the direction perpendicular to the 1/4 wavelength plate 14 (the same polarization direction as the V component), and the beam is polarized. After the splitter 11 reflects, it will coincide with the reference beam coaxially, so that it travels on the same light path and enters the receiver 16. The receiver 16 has a polarizer and a photoelectric conversion element (not shown) inside. The V component and the Η component (ie, the measurement beam and the reference beam) from the polarized beam splitter 11 are set so that the polarization angle becomes 45 degrees. Therefore, the polarizer allows only the vector component of the V component which is deflected in the angular direction to pass, and only the vector component of the Η component which is deflected in the angular direction. Then, interference light that has passed through the vector component VV of the polarizer and the vector component VH of the chirped component is incident on the photoelectric conversion element. This photoelectric conversion element is an electric signal (interference signal) obtained after photoelectric conversion of interference light of two vector components to a signal processing system (not shown). In this signal processing system, as mentioned above, the self-laser head 10 provides a reference signal useful for phase measurement, and the signal processing system uses the reference signal to perform calculations in order to obtain X of the moving mirror 12 with high precision.

Description of the invention (β) Right-angle shuttle mirror 26 and receiver 27, etc. This chirped interferometer is a laser interferometer according to the present invention that measures the position of the mask stage 4 as a moving body in the z-axis direction. Figure 2 is a top view of the chirped interferometer. The laser head 20, the polarized beam splitter 21, and the receiver 27 are the same as those of the laser head 10, the polarized beam splitter 11, and the receiver 16 described above. The moving mirror 22 is attached to an end of one side (a γ side) of the mask stage 4 in the Υ-axis direction, and is provided along the X-axis direction with a first length L1. A Υ-side side of the moving mirror 22 is provided. Is a reflective surface 22a. It is obvious from FIG. 2 that L1 is shorter than the length (full length) of the mask stage 4 in the X-axis direction. Here, on the premise that a reference mirror is formed, the right-angle shuttle lens 26 is fixed to the beam splitter platform 6 as a mobile device in a predetermined positional relationship with the polarized beam splitter 21, 1/4 λ plate 24, 25. . This beam splitter platform 6 is driven by a drive system such as a linear motor (not shown), and is driven in the X-axis direction on almost the same surface as the mask stage 4. The fixed mirror 23 is fixed to a predetermined position on the side opposite to the moving mirror 22 via the beam splitter platform 6. The surface on the other side (+ Υ side) of the fixed mirror 23 in the y-axis direction is a reflecting surface 23a extending along the X direction with a second length L2. Here, the function of each component of the Y interferometer will be described with reference to FIG. 2. The laser light emitted from the laser head 20 is incident on the polarized beam splitter 21, and the incident laser light is separated into a chirped component (reference beam) and a V component (measurement beam) on the light separation surface 21a.

Description of the invention (“) The linearly polarized light in the vibration direction of the paper in Figure 2) After being polarized in the polarized beam splitter 21, it is reflected by the right-angle shuttle mirror 26 as a reference mirror, folds back along a light path parallel to the incident light path, passes through the polarized beam splitter 21 again, and enters the receiver 27. On the other hand, The measurement beam (V component: linearly polarized light having a direction perpendicular to the vibration direction of the paper surface of FIG. 2) reflected on the light separation surface 21a is converted into circularly polarized light after passing through the 1 / 4λ plate 24, and is reflected on the reflecting surface of the moving mirror 22. After 22a is reflected, it passes through the 1/4 λ plate 24 again. In this way, the polarization direction of the measuring beam is converted from circularly polarized light to linear polarization again. The incident directions are perpendicular to each other (same direction as the tritium component) Secondly, it passes through the polarized beam splitter 21 and is converted into circularly polarized light after passing through the 1/4 λ plate 25. Then, the measurement beam is reflected on the reflecting surface 23a of the fixed mirror 23 and passes through the 1/4 λ plate 25 again. As a result, as described above, the conversion of the polarization direction of the measurement beam is opposite to the incident direction (same direction as the chirped component) when it first reaches the quarter-wave plate 25, and the polarized beam splitter 21 is reflected toward the right-angle shuttle lens. 26. Next, the measuring beam is returned by the right-angle shuttle mirror 26 along a light path parallel to the incident light path, reflected again by the polarized beam splitter 21, and transmitted through the 1/4 and plate 25 on the reflecting surface of the fixed mirror 23. 23a is reflected. Then, when this measurement beam passes through the λλ plate 25 again, its polarization direction is reversed to the same direction as the tritium component. After passing through the polarized beam splitter 21, it passes through the 1/4 and plate 24 and is reflected by the moving mirror 22. After the 1M λ plate 24 is transmitted, its polarization direction is changed again (same direction as the V component). Finally, after the polarized beam splitter 21 is reflected, it coincides with the reference beam coaxially and travels to the same 18 with each other.

This signal processing system measures the distance between the fixed mirror 23 and the moving mirror 22 in the Y-axis direction (the position of the moving mirror 22 in the Y-axis direction). In the Y interferometer of this embodiment, the optical path length of the reference beam is completely included in the total optical path length of the measuring beam, and the difference between the two is equal to (the optical path length between the fixed mirror and the moving mirror) X2. That is, the change in the interference effect measured by the measuring device when the moving mirror is moving indicates the change in the length of the light path between the fixed mirror and the moving mirror, and it also indicates the change in the position of the moving mirror in the Y direction.

As mentioned above, the object observed by the Y interferometer is the length of the light path of the light irradiation point between the moving mirror 22 and the fixed mirror 23; when the platform (or a moving mirror installed on the platform) moves in the X direction The above-mentioned light path length, that is, the position change of the moving mirror in the Y direction. Therefore, in this embodiment, the movement (movement accuracy) of the beam splitter platform 6 does not affect the change in the Y-direction position of the moving mirror to be observed. The signal processing system can be configured by using an amplifier, an A / D converter, a microprocessor, etc. (the illustrations are omitted). Next, an example of a method of driving the mask stage 4 and the beam splitter stage 6 in the scanning exposure apparatus 100 of the first embodiment configured as described above during scanning exposure will be described. Here, the moving stroke of the mask stage 4 in the scanning direction is set to 2L, the length of the moving mirror 22 is set to L1, and the length L2 of the fixed mirror 23 is set (the lengths of LI and L2 are both L + α). Here, α is a predetermined boundary and is actually a minute amount. The operation of the platen side of the photosensitive plate is the same as that of the platen side of the photomask, so its explanation is omitted. Figure 3 shows the positional relationship between the mask stage 4 and the beam splitter stage 6 at the start of scanning. In the state of FIG. 3, the control device (not shown) is a conveyor (not shown) equipped with a photomask platform 4 and a photosensitive plate platform 5 and starts to drive in the + X direction at a speed V, and at the same time the beam splitter platform 6 starts to drive in the + χ direction at a speed of V / 2. Then, after a predetermined time t has elapsed, the scan is completed ', and the mask stage 4 and the beam splitter stage 6 at the end of the scan have a positional relationship as shown in Fig. 4. At this time, it is obvious that the moving distance of the reticle platform 4 is 2L, and its _ 20-Please read the precautions of 83 'before going to this page) 1!

A7 B7 5. Description of the invention (q) The moving time is t = 2L / V. During this time t, the moving distance of the beam splitter platform 6 is V / 2Xt = L. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is obvious from FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 that from the scanning start position to the scanning end position, since the measurement beam of the Y interferometer continues to irradiate the moving mirror 22 and the fixed mirror 23, the use of The moving mirror 22 and the fixed mirror 23 with a length of about 1 and a length of the mask platform 4 are performed over the entire range of the scanning range (the range of the stroke 2L) of the mask platform 4 which is longer than the full length of the mask platform 4. High-precision position measurement in the non-scanning direction (Y-axis direction) is possible. The same applies to the photosensitive platen stage 5. It is possible to perform high-precision position measurement in the non-scanning direction (Y-axis direction) throughout the scanning range of the stroke 2L. As described above, by using the gamma interferometer of this embodiment, the length of the X-axis direction of the mask stage 4 and the photosensitive plate stage 5 is shorter, and the length is about half of its moving stroke (2L) —a half mirror (moving mirror) 22 and fixed mirror 23, moving mirror 22 'and fixed mirror 23') can perform high-precision position measurement in the Y-axis direction perpendicular to the X-axis direction of the mask stage 4 and the photosensitive plate stage 5. Therefore, according to the exposure apparatus 100 of this embodiment, even when the photosensitive plate 3 as a base plate is enlarged, the positions of the mask stage 4 and the photosensitive plate stage 5 in the non-scanning direction can be measured with high accuracy. In addition, the positions in the scanning direction of the photomask stage 4 and the photosensitive plate stage 5 can be measured in the same manner as conventionally, and the small moving mirrors 12 and 12 'can be accurately measured by irradiating the interferometer beam in the scanning direction with the small moving mirrors 12 and 12'. . Therefore, the position control of the reticle 2 and the photosensitive plate 3 can be performed with high accuracy. As a result, the high-precision coincidence of the reticle and the substrate is 21.

Invention description (VO) is possible. In the above-mentioned embodiment, the lengths of the moving mirror and the fixed mirror on the photomask side and the photosensitive plate side in the scanning direction are both about L, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if the lengths of the moving mirrors on the photomask side and the photosensitive plate side are about L1 ', the lengths of the fixed mirrors on the photomask side and the photosensitive plate side are about L2. Velocity VI, by setting the scanning speed of the beam splitter platform 6 (6 ') to about L2 / (L1 + L2) XV, it is possible to neglect the scanning platform 4 and the photosensitive plate platform 5 in the scanning direction ( L1 + L2) stroke for scanning. Moreover, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although the case where the mask stage 4 and the photosensitive plate stage 5 are mounted on a C-shaped conveyer and moved integrally has been described, it is not limited to this, and the mask stage and the photosensitive The plate platform is independent and moves in the scanning direction. Furthermore, in the first embodiment described above, the case where the Y-interferometer uses a two-way interferometer with a right-angle shuttle lens has been described. Of course, the X-interferometer and the interferometer for a beam splitter can also have a two-pass configuration. There is a rotation error of the measurement object, and these interferometers can perform high-precision position measurement similarly to the Y interferometer. << Second Embodiment >> Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 5.

Here, the function of each part of the chirped interferometer will be described. The laser light emitted from the laser head 20 is incident on the polarized beam splitter 21, and the incident laser light is separated into a chirped component by the light separation surface 21a. (It is a linearly polarized light having a direction parallel to the vibration direction of the paper surface of FIG. 5, which means a reference beam here) and a V component (is a linearly polarized light having a vibration direction perpendicular to the direction of the paper surface of FIG. 5, which means a measurement beam Then, the reference beam passing through the light separation surface 21a passes through the 1/4 λ plate 25 and is converted into circularly polarized light. After being reflected by the mirror 40, it passes through the ΐ / 4λ plate 25 again. With this, the reference beam has its polarization direction The conversion of the and the incident direction at the time of the incident when first reaching the quarter-wave plate 25 is perpendicular to each other (that is, the same polarization direction as the V component), and is reflected by the polarized beam splitter 21 and faces the right-angle shuttle lens 41. Then This reference beam is turned back by the right-angle shuttle lens 41 along a light path parallel to the incident light path, reflected again by the polarized beam splitter 21, and reflected by the mirror 40 through the 1/4 λ plate 25.

Description of the invention (r &gt;) When the beam passes through the 1 / 4λ plate 25 again, its polarization direction is changed again. The same polarization direction), and finally passes through the polarized beam splitter 21 and then enters the receiver 27. On the other hand, the measurement beam (V component) reflected on the light separation surface 21a passes through the 1 / 4λ plate 24 and is converted into a circle. The polarized light is reflected by the reflecting surface 22 a of the moving mirror 22 and then passes through the 1/4 λ plate 24 again. Thereby, the polarization direction of the measurement beam is converted by the 1/4 lambda plate 24, passes through the polarization beam splitter 21, and faces the right-angle shuttle 41. Next, the measurement beam is returned by the right-angle shuttle lens 41 along a light path parallel to the incident light path, passes through the polarized beam splitter 21 again, and is converted into circularly polarized light by the 1 / 4λ plate 24. Then, the measurement beam is reflected on the reflecting surface 22a of the moving mirror 22, and passes through the 1/4 and 24 plates. The polarization direction conversion is opposite to the direction of the incident light when it first reaches the ΐ / 4λ plate 24, and it is a polarized beam splitter. 21 is reflected and coincides with the reference beam coaxially, and then travels on the same light path and enters the receiver 27. Then, in the receiver 27, as described above, the interference light of the two-component vector component with respect to the predetermined change component is supplied to the photoelectric conversion element, and the photoelectric conversion element performs photoelectric conversion of the two-component interference light. An electrical signal (interference signal) is supplied to a signal processing system (not shown), and the position of the moving mirror 22 in the z-axis direction is measured by the signal processing system.
