Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of EUV mask defect detection, and in particular to an EUV mask defect detection device. Background Art
[0002] The mass production of UV lithography technology is an important step for lithography technology to move towards smaller process nodes such as 7nm and 5nm. EUV mask defect detection is a key step in the lithography process to improve chip production yield and reduce production costs. The EUV mask is mainly composed of a Mo / Si multilayer reflective layer and an absorption layer, so the types of EUV mask defects mainly include absorption defects on the surface of the multilayer and phase defects buried inside the multilayer. Since the penetration depth of non-actinic (DUV, SEM) mask detection on EUV multilayers is limited, the phase defects buried inside the multilayer are difficult to detect, which easily leads to missed defects. In addition, the absorption coefficients of mask particles or contaminants for different wavelengths are also different, and the use of non-actinic is prone to pseudo-defects. Therefore, the use of EUV light is the only reliable way to understand the physical response of defects, repairs, pattern deviations and optical proximity correction. However, EUV has the property of high absorption coefficients for almost all substances, so the use of EUV light for mask detection must provide a vacuum working environment for the imaging system. This puts forward higher requirements for the cavity and motion adjustment mechanism in engineering design. In addition, for high-magnification, nanometer-scale imaging, mechanical stability at exposure times in the order of seconds is the most important factor for the successful implementation of EUV mask microscopy. Specifically, the EUV mask defect imaging system requires that the relative motion of the mask and imaging lens be maintained at the nanometer level during exposure. Therefore, to achieve stable EUV mask defect detection in a complex environment, the overall mechanical design should focus on the vacuum vibration isolation of the mask and imaging lens.
[0003] At present, although AIMS, SHARP and lasertec and other EUV mask defect detection devices have been commercialized. Their engineering design can not only meet the necessary modulation requirements, but also can be used in factories with complex and diverse environments. Since different detection devices have different corresponding optical solutions, different optical design solutions have different specific parameter requirements for mechanical design, that is, each mechanical design has its customized nature. To this end, we propose an EUV mask defect detection device. Summary of the invention

[0015] Preferably, the first base, the second base and the third base are all marble bases.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. Vibration isolation:
[0018] (1) The scanning vacuum chamber is separated from the main vacuum chamber (the air chamber is connected, but a bellows is used to avoid a rigid connection), which solves the problem of vibration caused by scanning during the exposure process, affecting the imaging quality;
[0019] (2) The main vacuum chamber is connected to the base inside the chamber through a bellows to avoid a rigid connection, thereby preventing the surrounding environmental factors from causing a resonance effect on the chamber. The rigid connection transmits vibration to the base, the first motion adjustment mechanism, the second motion adjustment mechanism, the third motion adjustment mechanism, and the fourth motion adjustment mechanism, thereby affecting the stability of EUV mask microscopic imaging.
[0020] (3) Use laser interferometer and capacitive sensor to monitor the relative motion between the objective lens system and the mask, and form a closed-loop feedback with the motion adjustment mechanism to maintain the relative motion between the objective lens and the mask at the nanometer level during exposure.
[0021] 2. Regarding the design of pupil monitor, the advantages of placing pupil monitor outside the vacuum chamber include:
[0022] (1) The requirements for pupil monitoring microscopes are reduced (no need to work in a vacuum environment);
[0023] (2) Reserve sufficient control space for the microscope and achieve diversification in the selection of microscopes;
[0024] (3) A motion adjustment mechanism that adapts to the vacuum chamber needs to be installed inside the vacuum chamber and needs to move together with the mask platform. Separating the pupil monitor reduces the requirements on the motion adjustment mechanism on the one hand, and reduces the load on the motion adjustment mechanism of the mask platform on the other hand.
[0025] 3. Incident angle monitor:
[0026] Since the EUV mask inspection system is a reflective imaging system, it is necessary to consider avoiding the overlap of the incident light cone angle and the reflected light cone angle during design. In addition, the reflectivity of the EUV mask multilayer reflective film is different under different incident angles, especially under large-angle incidence within a certain range of incident angles. The reflectivity will drop sharply. Therefore, there is a trade-off between the system's principal ray incident angle and the numerical aperture. Under a specific numerical aperture, it is ensured that the incident light cone and the reflected light cone do not overlap, and a minimum principal ray incident angle is set. Therefore, the control and monitoring of the principal ray incident angle is particularly important. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0042] As a preferred embodiment, three fixing pillars 20 are provided, and the three fixing pillars 20 are distributed in a “triangle” shape between the third base 18 and the support plate 9 .
[0043] As a preferred embodiment, the scanning vacuum component 8 includes: a scanning vacuum chamber 21, which is connected to the main vacuum chamber 10 through a bellows and is fixed on the tripod 7; a fourth motion adjustment mechanism 22, which is fixed inside the scanning vacuum chamber 21; a detector 23, which is installed above the scanning vacuum chamber 21 and located at the image plane of the imaging system, and is used to record the imaging situation; a beam position monitor 26, which is installed at the entrance of the beam station and is used to monitor the beam station situation and the relative position of the light spot; a beam incident angle monitor 25, which is arranged on one side of the main vacuum chamber 10 and is used to assist the system installation and adjustment; a vacuum valve 24, which is installed at the entrance of the beam station and is used to isolate the cavity from the light source when necessary to prevent the repeated charging and discharging process of the cavity vacuum during the installation and debugging of the microscopic imaging system from affecting the working environment of the light source.

If the beam line passes through the scanning mirror and the mask, and finally a light spot is detected at the beam incident angle monitor 25, it means that the incident angle of the main ray of the beam line at the mask is incident at the angle designed by us.

[0052] For EUV mask defect inspection devices, in addition to the differences in control aspects corresponding to different optical designs, similarities include: vacuum environment, vibration isolation, etc. In addition, pupil monitoring systems and auxiliary adjustment systems are additionally designed for the device.
[0053] Vacuum extraction and maintenance:
[0054] First, use a mechanical pump to evacuate the air in the cavity to a certain extent, and then use an ion pump to continue to reduce the vacuum degree inside the cavity, and maintain the vacuum degree in the scanning vacuum cavity 21 and the main vacuum cavity 10 less than 10 -7 torr.
[0055] Vibration Isolation:
[0056] 1. We separate the scanning vacuum chamber 21 from the main vacuum chamber 10 and connect them by air chamber, but use bellows to avoid rigid connection, which solves the problem of vibration caused by scanning during exposure, affecting the imaging quality;
[0057] 2. The main vacuum chamber 10 is connected to the base inside the chamber through a bellows to avoid rigid connection, which solves the problem that the surrounding environmental factors may produce resonance effects on the chamber. The rigid connection transmits vibration to the base, the first motion adjustment mechanism 11, the second motion adjustment mechanism 12, the third motion adjustment mechanism 13 and the fourth motion adjustment mechanism 22, etc., which affects the stability of EUV mask microscopic imaging;
[0058] 3. Use laser interferometer and capacitive sensor to monitor the relative motion between the objective lens system and the mask, and form a closed-loop feedback with the motion adjustment mechanism 51 to maintain the relative motion between the objective lens and the mask at the nanometer level during exposure.
[0059] Regarding pupil monitor design, the advantages of placing the pupil monitor outside the vacuum chamber include:
[0060] 1. The requirements for pupil monitoring microscopes are reduced and they do not need to work in a vacuum environment;
[0061] 2. Reserve enough control space for the microscope to diversify the selection of microscopes;
[0062] 3. A motion adjustment mechanism that adapts to the vacuum chamber needs to be equipped inside the vacuum chamber and needs to move together with the mask platform; separating the pupil monitor reduces the requirements on the motion adjustment mechanism on the one hand, and reduces the load on the motion adjustment mechanism of the mask platform on the other hand.
[0063] Incident Angle Monitor:
[0064] Since the EUV mask inspection system is a reflective imaging system, it is necessary to consider avoiding the overlap of the incident light cone angle and the reflected light cone angle during design. In addition, the reflectivity of the EUV mask multilayer reflective film is different at different incident angles, especially at large angles within a certain range of incident angles, the reflectivity will drop sharply. Therefore, there is a trade-off between the system's main ray incident angle and the numerical aperture. Under a specific numerical aperture, the incident light cone and the reflected light cone are guaranteed not to overlap, and a minimum main ray incident angle is set. Therefore, the control and monitoring of the main ray incident angle is particularly important.
[0065] The monitoring of the incident angle of the main light line is implemented as follows:
[0066] Taking the center of the mask as the reference, the relative position and posture of the scanning mirror are adjusted to control the incident angle of the main ray of the light beam on the mask. The corresponding light beam is reflected by the mask and emitted from the light beam incident angle monitor 25. Multiple points are preset at the light beam incident angle monitor 25, corresponding to the specific main ray incident angle of the light beam at the mask. It is only necessary to adjust the relative position and posture of the scanning mirror until the corresponding light spot is detected at the light beam incident angle monitor 25.
[0067] Compared with the traditional calibration method, this method does not require the use of a rangefinder for measurement, and takes into account the offset between the locator origin and the screen coordinate system. By sampling multiple sets of positioning data synchronized with the camera and the locator, the camera and locator extrinsic parameters, and the locator origin and screen offset can be solved simultaneously.
[0068] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.
[0069] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
