Definitions
- the present invention relates to an exposure apparatus and an exposure method, and more particularly to an exposure apparatus suitable for manufacturing a micro device such as a semiconductor device in a photolithography process using EUV light having a wavelength of about 5 to 40 nm. It is. Background art
- the term “light” is not limited to “light” in a narrow sense that can be seen with the naked eye, but also “light” in a broad sense that includes so-called infrared rays to X-rays having a wavelength shorter than 1 mm among electromagnetic waves.
- EUV Extreme Ultra violet
- EUVL Extreme Ultra lithography
- a substance having a sufficient transmittance as a refractive optical member does not exist, so a reflective projection optical system including only reflective optical members is used.
- the EUV L exposure apparatus uses a reflection type mask instead of a transmission type mask, it is necessary to make the illumination light obliquely enter the mask. This is because when illumination light is vertically incident on the reflective mask, the optical path of the illumination light incident on the mask and the optical path of the illumination light reflected by the mask and traveling toward the projection optical system overlap, and the mask is illuminated. This is because the optical member of the illumination system that blocks the optical path of the projection optical system, or the optical member of the projection optical system blocks the optical path of the illumination system.
- the EUVL exposure apparatus can only obtain a narrow and long effective exposure area (ie, a static exposure area) through a reflective projection optical system.
- the mask pattern is scanned and exposed on the photosensitive substrate while the mask and the photosensitive substrate (eg, wafer) are relatively moved. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a field stop for defining a static exposure area at a position optically conjugate with the photosensitive substrate.
- a field stop is provided in the optical path of the illumination system, and an image-forming reflection optical system is interposed between the mask and the field stop, so that the field stop can be used as a mask (and, (With substrate) It is arranged at an optically conjugate position.
- the reflectance per reflecting surface is relatively low. Therefore, from the viewpoint of avoiding the loss of light amount and improving the throughput, an optical system interposed between the light source and the photosensitive substrate (that is, the illumination optical system) is used. System and projection optical system) must be reduced as much as possible.
- the imaging reflection optical system is interposed between the mask and the field stop, the number of reflections in the optical path of the illumination system is relatively large, resulting in a loss of light quantity. It was so large that we could not secure the required throughput.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and has an advantage that the influence on the imaging performance of a projection optical system can be suppressed satisfactorily despite a configuration in which a field stop is arranged close to a reflective mask.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an exposure apparatus and an exposure method capable of faithfully transferring a mask pattern onto a photosensitive substrate with high throughput. Disclosure of the invention

- FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a problem that occurs in a configuration in which a field stop is arranged close to a reflective mask.
- the field stop FS is arranged close to the reflective mask M
- the illumination light beam having the numerical aperture NA ill enters the mask M through the field stop FS
- the mask The light beam incident on the area b on M is not blocked at all by the field stop FS.
- the luminous flux incident on the regions a and c on both sides of the region b is partially blocked by the field stop FS.
- the luminous flux incident on the regions a and c on both sides becomes more obstructed by the field stop FS as it approaches the outer end.
- the light beam incident from the area e on the mask M to the projection optical system having the mask side (object side) numerical aperture N Apro is completely reduced by the field stop FS.
- the light flux entering the projection optical system from the regions d and f on both sides of the region e is partially blocked by the field stop FS.
- the luminous fluxes from the regions d and f on both sides are more obstructed by the field stop FS as they approach the outer ends.
- the imaging luminous flux contributing to the exposure through the projection optical system is incident on the area where the area b and the area e on the mask M overlap, the area a and the area f, as is clear from FIG.
- the luminous flux reflected by the light is incident on the area where the area b and the area e on the mask M overlap, the area a and the area f, as is clear from FIG.
- the luminous flux reflected by the light is incident on the area where the area b and the area e on the mask M overlap, the area a and the area f.
- the luminous flux incident on the area a and the area f and reflected is Field stop This is a light beam partially blocked by the FS. Therefore, even if the required surface light source is formed on the exit pupil of the illumination system, the image of the surface light source formed on the entrance pupil of the projection optical system is partially missing, and as a result, the projection optical system is not connected. Image performance will be adversely affected. In particular, in the area where the light beam reflected by the area f forms an image on the photosensitive substrate, the resolution differs from the other imaging areas, so that the uniformity of the mask pattern image formed on the photosensitive substrate is reduced. It is expected to have a significant impact.
- the most practical problem is not the dense line pattern but the line width of the isolated line.
- dense line patterns are often used in memory circuits, but since it is only important whether lines are connected or not, line width variations rarely cause a major problem.
- logic circuits there are almost no densely packed patterns arranged at equal intervals, and isolated lines (isolated lines) usually run in the area in all directions.
- isolated lines isolated lines usually run in the area in all directions.
- the permissible amount of line width variation of an isolated line allowed for a device to be realized as a device is about 10% of a design line width.
- the permissible amount of line width variation of an isolated line allowed for a device to be realized as a device is about 10% of a design line width.
- the imaging light flux contributing to the exposure through the projection optical system was incident on the area where the area b and the area e on the mask M overlap, the area a and the area f, and were reflected.
- the luminous flux only the luminous flux that is incident on and reflected by the area where the area b and the area e overlap, enables exposure by normal imaging through the projection optical system.
- the luminous flux incident on the area f and reflected has the worst effect on the image formation through the projection optical system.
- the distance g between the midpoint of the area a and the midpoint of the area f that is, the width g of the effective illumination area optically corresponding to the width of the effective exposure area (dimension along the scanning direction) is shown. How to reduce the width of the region f depends on the result of the projection optical system. This is one criterion for favorably suppressing the effect on image performance.
- the degree of the adverse effect of the light beam incident on the area f and reflected on the imaging performance of the projection optical system depends on the image-side numerical aperture NA i of the projection optical system, the pattern line width, and the illumination light (exposure light).

- the illumination for illuminating the mask When the incident angle (rad) of the chief ray of light to the mask is an, the width of the area f and the width g of the effective illumination area are expressed by the following equations (3) and (4), respectively.
- Effective illumination area width g w-2 X i n X a n (4)
- Conditional Expression (2) can be transformed into the following Conditional Expression (5).
- conditional expression (2) In order to further suppress the line width variation of the isolated line, it is preferable to set the upper limit value (value on the right side) of the conditional expression (2) to 1Z4. In this case, the following conditional expression (6) is obtained as a conditional expression corresponding to conditional expression (5).
- the field stop will be slightly spaced from the mask to avoid mechanical interference between the mask and the field stop.
- the light intensity distribution along the scanning direction on the mask is uniform in the central region, but gradually changes in both sides. This is because, as described above, the luminous flux incident on the area b on the mask M is not blocked at all by the field stop FS, but the luminous flux incident on the areas a and c on both sides of the area b is This is because they will be partially obstructed.
- the integral of the mask scanning movement amount for one pulse emission and the scan direction of the illumination area on the mask there is an advantage that a substantially uniform integrated exposure dose distribution can be obtained on the photosensitive substrate even if the width w along the width is not exactly matched.
- the width dimension w 'along the scan direction of one side area where the light intensity changes gradually is greater than 1% of the width dimension w along the scan direction of the illumination area, that is, It is preferable that the relationship shown in equation (9a) holds.

- a configuration is adopted in which a field stop for defining an illumination area on the mask is arranged close to the mask, but the distance in between the mask and the field stop is required. Since the setting is made so as to satisfy the expression (5) or (6), the influence of the light blocking by the field stop on the imaging performance of the projection optical system can be suppressed well. In addition, since the field stop is arranged close to the mask, there is no need to interpose an image forming reflection optical system between the mask and the field stop, and the number of reflections in the optical path of the illumination system can be reduced.
