Abstract

The invention discloses a projection objective lens wave aberration detection method based on a two-order aberration model. According to the method, a method for analyzing principle components and analyzing multiple linear regression is adopted, so that the two-order relation model is established between space image light intensity distribution and a Zernike coefficient; and a wave aberration value representing the imaging quality of a projection objective lens can be calculated through optimization by using the nonlinear least square method. Compared with a linear relation model based on space image principal component analysis (AMAI-PCA), the projection objective lens wave aberration detection method has the advantages that the amplitude range of aberration measurement is expanded; and when the wave aberration amplitudes are the same, the method is relatively high in measurement precision.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a photolithography machine, in particular to a method for detecting the wave aberration of a projection objective lens of a photolithography machine based on a second-order aberration model. Background technique [0002] Lithography machine is the most important equipment for manufacturing very large scale integrated circuits. The projection objective lens of the lithography machine is one of the most important systems of the lithography machine, and its performance directly determines the imaging quality of the lithography machine. When the projection objective lens has wave aberration, it will cause the deterioration of lithography imaging quality and the reduction of process window, especially as the feature size of lithography continues to decrease, the impact of projection objective lens wave aberration on lithography imaging quality increasingly prominent. Internationally, a set of orthogonal 37th-order Zernike polynomi...
