[0173] Such as Figure 5 As shown, the simulation uses the aberration obtained by ray tracing at a certain off-axis field of view point of the projection system designed in the laboratory (because in the field of numerical calculation, a two-dimensional figure is essentially a matrix. Here it is actually Draw the two-dimensional wave surface diagram corresponding to the scalar aberration matrix, and the value of each coordinate point on the diagram corresponds to the element value of the matrix one by one). 501 is a schematic diagram of the scalar aberration of the field of view point, and 502-509 are the eight Jones pupil components of the polarization aberration of the field of view point. 502 and 503 are respectively J xx The real and imaginary parts of . 504 and 505 are J respectively xy The real and imaginary parts of . 506 and 507 are J respectively yx The real and imaginary parts of . 508 and 509 are J respectively yy The real and imaginary parts of .

Abstract

The invention provides a method for optimizing optical proximity correction (OPC) of a nonideal photoetching system based on an Abbe vector imaging model. The method comprises the following steps of: setting transmittivity of an opening part and a light blocking part in a mask; setting a variable matrix Omega; setting a target function D as linear combination of an imaging evaluation function of an ideal image surface and an imaging evaluation function of an image surface of which the defocusing quantity is fnm; and guiding optimization on a mask pattern by using the variable matrix Omega andthe target function D. By using the vector imaging model and taking vector characteristic of an electromagnetic field into consideration during acquisition of a space image, the optimized mask is suitable for the photoetching system with small numerical aperture (NA) and also suitable for the photoetching system of which the NA is more than 0.6. By the method, the gradient information of optimizing the target function is utilized and a steepest descent method is combined to optimize the pattern and the phase of an attenuated phase-shifting mask, so the optimization efficiency is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optimization method of a non-ideal photolithography system OPC (photolithography proximity correction) based on an Abbe (Abbe) vector imaging model, and belongs to the technical field of photolithography resolution enhancement. Background technique [0002] The current large-scale integrated circuits are generally manufactured using photolithography systems. The lithography system is mainly divided into four parts: illumination system (including light source and condenser), mask, projection system and wafer. The light emitted by the light source is focused by the condenser and then enters the mask, and the opening part of the mask transmits light; after passing through the mask, the light is incident on the wafer coated with photoresist through the projection system, so that the pattern of the mask is copied on the wafer. [0003] The current mainstream lithography system is the 193nm ArF deep ultraviolet lithography system...
