Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laser direct writing lithography, and in particular to an immersion laser direct writing lithography device and method. Background Art

[0002] Laser direct writing lithography processing technology has the advantages of direct scanning exposure without mask, fast iteration speed of different production schemes, and higher flexibility; it also has the advantages of high precision, high efficiency and low cost; immersion laser direct writing lithography can reduce the number of optical elements in the projection system, control aberrations and thermal effects, and achieve the needs of larger numerical aperture. Its processing resolution can reach sub-micron level or even higher, and the corresponding processing technology is also greatly simplified. All of the above are crucial for the research, application, and trial production of new microelectronic devices in the fields of microelectronics and semiconductors. When used in the field of micro-nano processing, more sophisticated and complex micro devices can be produced. Direct writing lithography technology does not require a mask, and has obvious advantages in shortening the process, automatic expansion and contraction, multi-layer alignment, small-volume and multi-variety production, curved surface exposure, and the construction of a one-piece-one-code smart factory.

[0003] Laser direct writing lithography processing technology can be roughly divided into two main types according to the different radiation sources: one is direct writing lithography (CPML) based on charged particles, including electron beam direct writing, ion beam direct writing, etc.; the other is direct writing lithography (OML) based on optical projection, including interference lithography, laser direct writing lithography, and lithography technology based on spatial light modulators, etc.

[0004] The three major performance indicators of lithography machines are: overlay accuracy, resolution and production efficiency. Analyzing them one by one, among them, the direct writing lithography (electron beam direct writing, etc.) processing technology based on charged particles, although the electron beam scanning speed is fast, because the electron beam can only perform single-point scanning and the single scanning range is limited, the actual lithography processing efficiency is very low, resulting in the lithography capacity not meeting the actual needs; and in large-scale production, it will produce a more serious proximity effect, which seriously affects the resolution and accuracy of the graphics. Although the direct writing lithography processing technology based on optical projection can increase the single scanning processing area through the design of the optical system and correspondingly improve the production efficiency, it is limited by the high production cost of lithography projection devices (such as digital micromirror devices), insufficient projection resolution and response frequency, and the uniformity, distortion, and graphic splicing problems of the illumination and imaging modules in the overall optical system. As a result, the resolution of direct writing lithography based on optical projection is low and not suitable for high-precision processing. As for other conventional mechanical scanning lithography processing technologies, they all have similar problems of insufficient production capacity and accuracy as mentioned above.

[0005] In summary, the current laser direct writing lithography processing technology is mainly based on the serial processing method, which has low efficiency in line-by-line writing, and the processing time is proportional to the cube of the object size. It takes a long time to process a single micro-nano structure. In addition, there are problems such as the limitation of optical devices that make it difficult to improve the processing accuracy. In order to overcome the problems of low efficiency and insufficient processing accuracy of the serial processing method, an improved immersion laser direct writing lithography device and method are urgently needed.

[0041] In order to better explain the present invention and facilitate understanding, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments. Figure 1 The orientation is used as a reference.

[0042] The present invention provides an immersion laser direct writing lithography method, comprising: splitting the laser generated by a laser light source 1 to obtain multi-point parallel lasers; performing modulation and deflection processing on the multi-point parallel lasers to obtain multi-point parallel laser beams with specific separation angles; emitting the multi-point parallel laser beams to a wafer to be photolithographically processed 9 through an immersion liquid layer to form a target pattern on the surface of the wafer to be photolithographically processed 9.

[0043] The immersion laser direct writing lithography method provided by the present invention can generate multi-point laser beams with parallel outputs of specific angles and light intensities, thereby realizing high-speed and high-throughput parallel laser scanning direct writing lithography, greatly improving the efficiency, accuracy and quality of direct writing lithography, and meeting actual needs.

[0045] The laser direct writing lithography device configured in this way can generate high-quality split, collimated, uniform multi-point parallel lasers through the laser beam splitter 2; through the acousto-optic modulator 3, the frequency, amplitude, and phase of the multi-point parallel laser can be modulated, and the laser power intensity can be controlled to modulate the incident light field into a light field of a specific shape (linear, surface or special shape); through the acousto-optic deflector 5, the deflection of the laser beam can be controlled, and the output light angle of the laser beam can be accurately controlled. Through the immersion head 7, a high-refractive-index liquid can be added between the last lens of the objective lens 6 and the wafer 9 to be photolithographically processed as a medium to increase the refraction degree of the light, which is equivalent to increasing the lens aperture size and numerical aperture.
