一種能夠延長光罩壽命的結構A structure capable of extending the life of a mask

本創作是有關一種能夠延長光罩壽命的結構,特別是一種於微影製程時、能夠消除污染光罩表面之污染物質的方法及其結構。The present invention relates to a structure capable of extending the life of a reticle, and more particularly to a method and structure for eliminating contamination of a surface of a reticle during a lithography process.

依據目前的半導體元件製造技術,半導體元件的電路圖案是透過微影(lithography)製程將電路圖案轉印至矽晶圓的表面,具體而言是利用特定波長的光源投射通過光罩(photomask)的方式,將電路圖案轉印至矽晶圓的表面。但由於半導體元件的微小化,在半導體元件的製造過程中,光罩的缺陷將會造成矽晶圓表面之電路圖案的扭曲或變形,即使只有奈米尺寸例如20nm~200nm的缺陷都會導致半導體電路圖案的損害。According to the current semiconductor device manufacturing technology, the circuit pattern of the semiconductor device is to transfer the circuit pattern to the surface of the germanium wafer through a lithography process, specifically, using a light source of a specific wavelength to project through a photomask. In a way, the circuit pattern is transferred to the surface of the germanium wafer. However, due to the miniaturization of semiconductor components, defects in the mask will cause distortion or deformation of the circuit pattern on the surface of the wafer during the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device. Even a defect of only a nanometer size such as 20 nm to 200 nm may result in a semiconductor circuit. Damage to the pattern.

已知造成光罩缺陷的原因之一,在於光罩的表面受到污染微粒(contamination particles)的污染;為了維持光罩在使用期間的品質,習知之一種方法係在光罩的表面設置一種光罩保護薄膜(pellicle),用以防止污染物質掉落在光罩表面進而形成污染微粒。One of the reasons for the known reticle defect is that the surface of the reticle is contaminated by contamination particles; in order to maintain the quality of the reticle during use, a conventional method is to provide a reticle on the surface of the reticle. A pellicle is used to prevent contaminants from falling on the surface of the reticle to form contaminating particles.

然而,即使具有上述的光罩保護薄膜,實務上仍然無法完全避免污染物質對光罩表面所造成的污染,但由於光罩之污染物質的來源或產生原因包括來自環境和內腔中產生的污染物質,前述的環境包括無塵室(clean room)、光罩的儲存環境(storage environment)和微影製程中的設備及化學品;這些化學物或汙染物仍可能經由光罩保護膜的通氣孔或薄膜而進入光罩的內腔中。However, even with the above-mentioned reticle protective film, it is practically impossible to completely avoid the pollution caused by the pollutant on the surface of the reticle, but the source or cause of the viscous material includes pollution from the environment and the cavity. Substance, the aforementioned environment includes a clean room, a storage environment of the reticle, and equipment and chemicals in the lithography process; these chemicals or contaminants may still pass through the vent of the reticle protective film. Or the film enters the inner cavity of the reticle.

另一方面,一般光罩表面會設置有一框架,而該光罩表面與該框架之間會以有機黏接劑相黏,而該框架則覆蓋有一層光罩保護薄膜,目前大多使用氟聚合物薄膜,如第1A圖及第1B圖所示,由於目前以波長193奈米(nm)的深紫外光(DUV)做為微影製程的曝光光源,可令半導體電路的最小線寬達到7~10奈米(nm),而由圖中可知,於光罩保護薄膜的厚度為320nm的情況下,當以波長193奈米(nm)做為微影製程的曝光光源時,入射光穿透率更能夠達到99.2167%,因此能達到很好的效果,但由於光罩保護薄膜黏著於光罩表面的黏著劑以及光罩本身的框架黏著劑之中所含的成分,也會在微影製程中因為氣體逸出(outgassing)或其他原因而生成污染物質,一般而言有機(organic)的污染物質、無機(inorganic)的污染物質例如氨氣與硫氧化合物或其他污染物質會相互反應後形成固體沈積或附著於光罩的表面逐漸形成一種薄霧(haze),當污染物質(例如硫酸銨)累積至某一程度將會形成較大的結晶(crystal)或是微粒(particle),進而在微影製程中與光罩的電路圖案一起聚焦並轉印至矽晶圓的表面,造成電路圖案的扭曲或變形。因此,如何在光罩的使用期間更為有效的吸收污染物質以預防薄霧的產生,已成為業界致力解決的問題之一。On the other hand, in general, the surface of the reticle is provided with a frame, and the surface of the reticle and the frame are adhered by an organic adhesive, and the frame is covered with a reticle protective film. Currently, fluoropolymer is mostly used. The film, as shown in Fig. 1A and Fig. 1B, can achieve a minimum line width of the semiconductor circuit by using a deep ultraviolet light (DUV) with a wavelength of 193 nm (nm) as an exposure light source for the lithography process. 10 nm (nm), and as can be seen from the figure, when the thickness of the reticle protective film is 320 nm, when the wavelength is 193 nm (nm) as the exposure source of the lithography process, the incident light transmittance It can achieve 99.2167%, so it can achieve good results, but the adhesive contained in the mask adhesive adhered to the surface of the mask and the frame adhesive in the mask itself will also be in the lithography process. Contaminants are formed by outgassing or other reasons. Generally, organic pollutants, inorganic pollutants such as ammonia and oxysulfides or other pollutants react with each other. A solid is deposited or adhered to the surface of the reticle to form a haze. When a contaminant (such as ammonium sulphate) accumulates to a certain extent, a larger crystal or particle is formed. In the lithography process, the circuit pattern of the reticle is focused and transferred to the surface of the enamel wafer, causing distortion or deformation of the circuit pattern. Therefore, how to absorb pollutants more effectively during the use of the mask to prevent the generation of mist has become one of the problems that the industry is trying to solve.

由上述內容可知,若是能夠消除污染光罩表面之污染物質,將能夠解決上述問題,由於TiO 2在吸收紫外線光後,會產生類似植物光合作用原理(稱為光觸媒作用),其強大的氧化作用可以輕鬆分解與吸收污染物質,如此若能夠將TiO 2應用於微影製程中,將能夠藉由光觸媒作用消除污染光罩表面之污染物質,因此本創作應為一最佳解決方案。 It can be seen from the above that if the pollutants contaminating the surface of the mask can be eliminated, the above problem can be solved. Since TiO 2 absorbs ultraviolet light, it will produce a plant-like photosynthesis principle (called photocatalytic action), and its strong oxidation. It is easy to decompose and absorb pollutants. Therefore, if TiO 2 can be applied to the lithography process, it will be able to eliminate the pollutants on the surface of the reticle by photocatalytic action. Therefore, this creation should be the best solution.

有關於本創作其他技術內容、特點與功效,在以下配合參考圖式之較佳實施例的詳細說明中,將可清楚的呈現。Other technical contents, features, and effects of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

請參閱第2圖,為本創作一種能夠延長光罩壽命的結構之流程示意圖,由圖中可知,其方法為: (1)     將一至少含金屬鈦的溶膠、於未形成為濃稠的膠狀前塗佈於一有機薄膜任一表面上,而該有機薄膜係會再透過一有機黏接劑黏附於一框架頂面上,且該框架底面係結合於一光罩表面上201; (2)     並於靜置待繼續反應於一定時間(約1小時)內,該溶膠會於該有機薄膜上形成為一至少含金屬鈦的溶膠-凝膠(sol-gel)薄膜202;以及 (3)     於該有機薄膜用於半導體製程之微影製程時,於一波長為193nm或248nm的紫外光照射下,該溶膠-凝膠薄膜則會形成為一二氧化鈦之薄膜,而該二氧化鈦之薄膜能夠消除污染光罩表面之污染物質203。Please refer to Fig. 2, which is a schematic flow chart of a structure capable of extending the life of the mask. The method can be seen as follows: (1) A sol containing at least metal titanium is formed into a thick glue. The front surface is coated on any surface of an organic film, and the organic film is adhered to the top surface of a frame through an organic adhesive, and the bottom surface of the frame is bonded to a surface of the mask 201; And after standing for a certain period of time (about 1 hour), the sol is formed on the organic film as a sol-gel film 202 containing at least titanium metal; and (3) When the organic film is used in a lithography process of a semiconductor process, the sol-gel film is formed into a film of titanium dioxide under the irradiation of ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 193 nm or 248 nm, and the film of the titanium dioxide can eliminate the pollution. Contaminant 203 on the surface of the mask.

而經由上述步驟所製出之結構如第3圖所示,係具有一框架1,而一有機薄膜2(氟聚合物薄膜)之表面21係利用有機黏接劑5貼附於該框架1之頂面上,因此該有機薄膜2會把該框架1之頂面封閉,且當該框架1底面亦利用有機黏接劑5結合於該光罩3表面31上時,如此則能夠使框架1、有機薄膜2及光罩3形成一內腔,而一般會於該框架1上設置一過濾器來過濾污染物進入內腔中;The structure produced through the above steps has a frame 1 as shown in FIG. 3, and the surface 21 of an organic film 2 (fluoropolymer film) is attached to the frame 1 by means of an organic adhesive 5. On the top surface, the organic film 2 will close the top surface of the frame 1, and when the bottom surface of the frame 1 is also bonded to the surface 31 of the reticle 3 by using the organic adhesive 5, the frame 1 can be made. The organic film 2 and the reticle 3 form an inner cavity, and a filter is generally disposed on the frame 1 to filter contaminants into the inner cavity;

另外,由於本創作是使用溶膠-凝膠法(sol-gel),必須於有機薄膜2之表面22上塗佈有該溶膠-凝膠薄膜4前,必須先將烷醇鈦及鹵化鈦溶於烷醇及水中,並在室溫攪拌1小時後,再加入酸性催化劑催化形成一溶膠,其中烷醇鈦係為四正丁醇鈦或四異丙醇鈦、鹵化鈦係為四氯化鈦、烷醇係為正丁醇或異丙醇、酸性催化劑係為鹽酸或醋酸;因此以spin coating 的方法將溶膠(液體狀)塗佈在有機薄膜2上、並靜置待繼續反應1小時後,則會形成膠狀狀態的溶膠-凝膠薄膜;In addition, since the present invention uses a sol-gel method, it is necessary to dissolve the titanium alkoxide and the titanium halide before the sol-gel film 4 is coated on the surface 22 of the organic film 2. After stirring in an alkanol and water at room temperature for 1 hour, an acidic catalyst is further added to catalyze the formation of a sol, wherein the titanium alkoxide is titanium tetra-n-butoxide or titanium tetraisopropoxide, and the titanium halide is titanium tetrachloride. The alkanol is n-butanol or isopropanol, and the acidic catalyst is hydrochloric acid or acetic acid; therefore, the sol (liquid) is applied to the organic film 2 by spin coating, and left to stand for 1 hour after the reaction is continued. a sol-gel film in a colloidal state;

而當紫外光6(波長為193nm或248nm)照射時,該有機黏接劑5會因氣體逸出(outgassing)而產生污染物,但由於該溶膠-凝膠薄膜4受到波長為193nm或248nm的紫外光6照射下、亦會形成為一二氧化鈦之薄膜,由於TiO 2在吸收紫外線光後,會產生光觸媒作用,其強大的氧化作用可以輕鬆分解與吸收污染物質,如此若能夠將TiO 2應用於微影製程中,將能夠藉由光觸媒作用消除污染光罩表面之污染物質,如此將能夠避免污染物質沈積或附著於光罩3的表面逐漸形成一種薄霧,而造成光罩3的使用壽命下降的問題發生。 When the ultraviolet light 6 (wavelength is 193 nm or 248 nm) is irradiated, the organic binder 5 generates contaminants due to gas outgassing, but since the sol-gel film 4 is subjected to a wavelength of 193 nm or 248 nm. Under the irradiation of ultraviolet light 6, it will also form a film of titanium dioxide. Since TiO 2 absorbs ultraviolet light, it will produce photocatalytic action, and its strong oxidation can easily decompose and absorb pollutants, so if TiO 2 can be applied In the lithography process, the pollutants on the surface of the reticle can be eliminated by the photocatalytic action, so that it is possible to prevent the deposition of contaminants or the surface of the reticle 3 from gradually forming a mist, which causes the life of the reticle 3 to decrease. The problem has happened.

而除了波長為193nm或248nm之外,其他波長的紫外光6亦能夠用以照射進行微影製程,但由於以波長193 nm或248nm的深紫外光(DUV)做為微影製程的曝光光源,可令半導體電路的最小線寬達到7~10奈米(nm),故目前大多使用波長193 nm或248nm的深紫外光6進行微影製程;In addition to the wavelength of 193nm or 248nm, other wavelengths of ultraviolet light 6 can also be used to illuminate the lithography process, but due to the deep ultraviolet light (DUV) with a wavelength of 193 nm or 248 nm as the exposure source of the lithography process, The minimum line width of the semiconductor circuit can be 7~10 nanometers (nm), so most of the current use of deep ultraviolet light 6 with a wavelength of 193 nm or 248 nm for the lithography process;

而本實施例中,其中該有機薄膜2之厚度係為320nm(於實際實施時,厚度能夠±5nm),而該溶膠-凝膠薄膜4之厚度係為228nm(於實際實施時,厚度能夠±5nm),而於前提到習用的光罩保護薄膜之厚度亦為320±5nm,而本實施例如第4A圖及第4B圖所示,於波長193 nm的照射下,所取得的入射光穿透率為98.9964%,而除了波長193 nm之外,亦能夠使用其他波長進行照射,以波長248nm來看,所得到之入射光穿透率為60.6351%來看,雖然效果沒有比波長193 nm來的好,但仍是可接受之範圍內。In the present embodiment, the thickness of the organic thin film 2 is 320 nm (the thickness can be ±5 nm in actual implementation), and the thickness of the sol-gel film 4 is 228 nm (in actual implementation, the thickness can be ± 5nm), and the thickness of the conventional reticle protective film is also 320±5nm, and the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, penetrates the incident light at a wavelength of 193 nm. The rate is 98.9964%, and in addition to the wavelength of 193 nm, other wavelengths can be used for illumination. The wavelength of the incident light is 60.6351%, although the effect is not higher than the wavelength of 193 nm. Ok, but still within acceptable limits.

而如第5圖所示,亦能夠於該有機薄膜2(氟聚合物薄膜)之表面21,22上皆設置有溶膠-凝膠薄膜4,而於此情況下,其中該有機薄膜之厚度係為250nm(於實際實施時,厚度能夠±5nm),而該有機薄膜2(氟聚合物薄膜)之表面21,22上之溶膠-凝膠薄膜4之厚度係為36nm(於實際實施時,厚度能夠±5nm),與使用單一層的膠-凝膠薄膜4之厚度設定不同,再由第6A圖及第6B圖可知,於波長193 nm的照射下、所取得的入射光穿透率為99.0781%,而以波長248nm來看,所得到之入射光穿透率為88.6386%,雖然不論是使用單層溶膠-凝膠薄膜4或是雙層溶膠-凝膠薄膜4,其入射光穿透率於波長193 nm的照射下有些微降低,但單層溶膠-凝膠薄膜4於波長248nm所得到之入射光穿透率會比雙層溶膠-凝膠薄膜44於波長248nm所得到之入射光穿透率來得好,除此之外,本創作之溶膠-凝膠薄膜4,除了能夠保持良好的入射光穿透率之外,更能夠藉由光觸媒作用來消除污染光罩表面之污染物質,因此其功效是習用單僅使用光罩保護薄膜所無法及的。As shown in FIG. 5, a sol-gel film 4 can also be provided on the surfaces 21, 22 of the organic film 2 (fluoropolymer film), and in this case, the thickness of the organic film is It is 250 nm (thickness can be ±5 nm in actual implementation), and the thickness of the sol-gel film 4 on the surfaces 21, 22 of the organic thin film 2 (fluoropolymer film) is 36 nm (in actual implementation, thickness) It can be ±5 nm), which is different from the thickness setting of the gel-gel film 4 using a single layer. It can be seen from FIGS. 6A and 6B that the incident light transmittance obtained at a wavelength of 193 nm is 99.0781. %, and at a wavelength of 248 nm, the incident light transmittance is 88.6386%, although the incident light transmittance is the same whether using a single-layer sol-gel film 4 or a double-layer sol-gel film 4. It slightly decreases at a wavelength of 193 nm, but the incident light transmittance of the single-layer sol-gel film 4 at a wavelength of 248 nm is higher than that of the double-layer sol-gel film 44 at a wavelength of 248 nm. The permeability is good, in addition to this, the sol-gel film 4 of this creation, in addition to being able to protect Addition to good incoming light transmittance, by photocatalysis better able to eliminate contamination of the contaminated surface of the mask, and therefore their effectiveness using only a single conventional mask, and the protective film can not.

而單層溶膠-凝膠薄膜4之有機薄膜2之厚度為402nm(於實際實施時,厚度能夠±5nm)時,當該溶膠-凝膠薄膜4之厚度設定為5nm(於實際實施時,厚度能夠±5nm),如第7A圖及第7B圖所示,可得到入射波長與入射光穿透率之波形示意圖及入射波長與入射光穿透率之數據示意圖,其中波長193nm所得到之入射光穿透率為98.0618%,而波長248nm所得到之入射光穿透率為92.4726%。When the thickness of the organic thin film 2 of the single-layer sol-gel film 4 is 402 nm (in the actual implementation, the thickness can be ±5 nm), when the thickness of the sol-gel film 4 is set to 5 nm (in practice, the thickness is Can be ±5nm), as shown in Fig. 7A and Fig. 7B, a schematic diagram of the waveform of the incident wavelength and the incident light transmittance and the data of the incident wavelength and the incident light transmittance can be obtained, wherein the incident light obtained at a wavelength of 193 nm The transmittance was 98.0618%, and the incident light transmittance obtained at a wavelength of 248 nm was 92.4726%.

而雙層溶膠-凝膠薄膜44之有機薄膜2之厚度為385nm(於實際實施時,厚度能夠±5nm)時,當有機薄膜2(氟聚合物薄膜)之表面21,22上之溶膠-凝膠薄膜4之厚度設定為5nm(於實際實施時,厚度能夠±5nm),如第8A圖及第8B圖所示,可得到入射波長與入射光穿透率之波形示意圖及入射波長與入射光穿透率之數據示意圖,其中波長193nm所得到之入射光穿透率為98.5172%,而波長248nm所得到之入射光穿透率為87.8365%。When the thickness of the organic thin film 2 of the double-layer sol-gel film 44 is 385 nm (in the actual implementation, the thickness can be ±5 nm), when the surface of the organic thin film 2 (fluoropolymer film) 21, 22 is sol-condensed The thickness of the adhesive film 4 is set to 5 nm (the thickness can be ±5 nm in actual implementation).

本創作所提供之一種能夠延長光罩壽命的結構,與其他習用技術相互比較時,其優點如下: (1)     本創作之有機薄膜用於微影製程時,於一波長為193nm或248nm的紫外光照射下,該溶膠-凝膠薄膜則會形成為一二氧化鈦之薄膜,而該二氧化鈦之薄膜則能夠用以消除污染光罩表面之污染物質。 (2)     由於TiO 2在吸收紫外線光後,會產生類似植物光合作用原理(稱為光觸媒作用),其強大的氧化作用可以輕鬆分解與吸收污染物質,由於本創作將TiO 2應用於微影製程中,將能夠藉由光觸媒作用消除污染光罩表面之污染物質。 (3)     本創作已透過上述之實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本創作,任何熟悉此一技術領域具有通常知識者,在瞭解本創作前述的技術特徵及實施例,並在不脫離本創作之精神和範圍內,當可作些許之更動與潤飾,因此本創作之專利保護範圍須視本說明書所附之請求項所界定者為準。 The structure provided by the present invention which can extend the life of the reticle is compared with other conventional techniques, and the advantages thereof are as follows: (1) The organic film of the present invention is used in a lithography process at a wavelength of 193 nm or 248 nm. Under light irradiation, the sol-gel film is formed into a film of titanium dioxide, and the film of titanium dioxide can be used to eliminate pollutants contaminating the surface of the mask. (2) Since TiO 2 absorbs ultraviolet light, it will produce a plant-like photosynthesis principle (called photocatalytic action), and its powerful oxidation can easily decompose and absorb pollutants. Because of this creation, TiO 2 is applied to the lithography process. In the middle, it will be able to eliminate the pollutants on the surface of the contaminated reticle by photocatalytic action. (3) The present invention has been disclosed above through the above embodiments, but it is not intended to limit the present creation, and any person skilled in the art who has ordinary knowledge in the art can understand the foregoing technical features and embodiments of the present invention without departing from the present invention.
