Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical imaging, and in particular to a deep ultraviolet microscope optical system with a large numerical aperture and a long working distance. Background Art

[0002] Semiconductor chip processing is the cornerstone of modern electronic product manufacturing. The process includes multiple complex steps such as lithography, oxidation, ion implantation, etching and chemical mechanical polishing. Each step requires precise control to ensure that the final product can meet strict performance standards. Among them, lithography is a key step in chip processing, which transfers the design pattern to the silicon wafer. In this process, a high-resolution optical system is crucial because it directly affects the fineness and accuracy of the final pattern. As chip technology develops towards smaller processes (such as 7nm, 5nm and below), traditional visible light microscopes can no longer meet these precision requirements. Ultraviolet microscope optical systems have become an important tool to meet industry needs because of their shorter wavelengths, especially deep ultraviolet (generally referring to wavelengths between 200-300 nanometers) can achieve higher resolution, while deep ultraviolet light sources have relatively low energy efficiency, and usually use non-parallel light paths to reduce the number of lenses, thereby improving the transmittance of the system.

[0003] The deep ultraviolet microscope optical system with large numerical aperture and long working distance consists of two parts: the objective lens and the tube lens. The objective lens is the core component of the whole system, and its imaging performance directly affects the quality of sample information obtained by the microscope. With the continuous advancement of microscopic imaging technology, the objective lens is also facing higher requirements in terms of field of view and image quality. The design of the objective lens must not only have a large numerical aperture, but also maintain excellent imaging performance in the deep ultraviolet spectrum.

[0004] The tube lens is responsible for focusing the corrected beam of the objective lens onto the sensor. Compared with the objective lens, the tube lens has a lower demand for aberration correction, and its main goal is to achieve convenient and efficient imaging. However, most tube lenses on the market have fixed magnifications, which limits the user's flexible application of multiple magnifications and fields of view in actual operations. In addition, the current design of tube lenses is often difficult to perfectly match with high numerical aperture objectives, which further restricts the development of high-end microscopic optical systems.

[0005] Therefore, current technology urgently needs to develop a new type of microscopic optical system that can integrate large numerical aperture, deep ultraviolet wide spectrum characteristics, as well as multiple magnification and multi-field functions. Such a system will better meet the needs of users, especially in the field of high-end microscopic imaging applications, and promote the further development of microscopic optics. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the technical problem that the existing tube lens design is often difficult to perfectly match with the objective lens with high numerical aperture, which limits the high-end microscopic optical system, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0017] Among them, f1, f2, f3, f4 and f5 are the focal lengths of the five lenses respectively.

[0018] Further, a preferred embodiment is provided, wherein the second lens group includes three lenses arranged coaxially;

[0019] satisfy:

[0020] 250mm <f6<270mm;-170mm<f7<-150mm;210mm<f8<230mm;

[0021] Among them, f6, f7 and f8 are the focal lengths of the three lenses respectively.

[0022] Further, a preferred embodiment is provided, wherein the third lens group includes three lenses arranged coaxially;

[0023] satisfy:

[0024] 60mm <f9<80mm;-70mm<f 10 <-50mm; 130mm <f 11 <150mm;

[0025] Among them, f9, f 10 and f 11 are the focal lengths of the three lenses respectively.

[0026] Further, a preferred embodiment is provided, wherein the fourth lens group includes two lenses arranged coaxially;

[0027] satisfy:

[0028] 40mm <f 12 <60mm; -120mm <f 13 <-100mm;

[0034] Further, a preferred embodiment is provided, wherein the sixth internally reflective lens group comprises three lenses arranged coaxially;

[0035] satisfy:

[0036] 150mm <f 20 <170mm;

[0038] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a deep ultraviolet microscope optical system with large numerical aperture and long working distance, the system comprising the module, and an image plane and an object plane coaxially arranged with the module.

[0039] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a method for designing a deep ultraviolet microscope optical module with a large numerical aperture and a long working distance, which is used to design the module, comprising:

[0040] Steps for collecting design parameters of the microscope optical system;

[0041] The step of generating an initial configuration of the optical system according to the design parameters of the microscopic optical system;

[0042] Based on the initial parameters of the initial configuration of the optical system, the step of obtaining the focal length and the radius of curvature of each lens group by an optical simulation algorithm;

[0043] The step of outputting the focal length and curvature radius of each lens group in an editable file format.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the present invention is beneficial in that:

[0045] By grouping the tube lens optical system and the objective lens optical system and adopting a combination of multiple lens groups, the numerical aperture of the microscope optical system is effectively improved while maintaining the characteristics of a long working distance. Compared with the existing system that only uses a single lens group, this design significantly improves the imaging resolution and optical performance, especially in deep ultraviolet band applications.

[0046] The first lens group is designed as a zoom group, and the focal length range is controlled within a specific ratio, which can achieve the stability of the optical performance of the microscope system at different magnifications. This zoom group design enables the system to maintain a high numerical aperture when adjusting the magnification, and has higher flexibility and imaging clarity compared to traditional fixed magnification optical systems.

[0047] The third lens group effectively reduces aberrations, especially chromatic aberration and spherical aberration, in the deep ultraviolet band, ensuring the consistency of imaging quality. Through the synergy of this lens group and other lens groups, the system still maintains good beam focusing ability at high numerical aperture, which is of great significance in high-resolution microscopic observation.

[0048] The introduction of the fifth lens group optimizes the spatial distribution of the light beam and adjusts the refraction angle of the light path, enabling the entire system to achieve clear imaging within a wider working distance range. Compared with existing short-working-distance microscopy optical systems, this design effectively expands the system's applicable scenarios, especially for complex experimental environments that require long-distance observation.

[0049] The focal length parameters of the sixth internal reflection lens group are designed within a specific range, further compensating for astigmatism and nonlinear errors in the optical path. This feature significantly improves the overall imaging stability of the system, making its optical performance in the deep ultraviolet band better than existing similar systems, meeting the needs of high-precision imaging.

[0050] It is suitable for use in the design of microscopic optical systems. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0136] The first lens group A, the second lens group B, the third lens group C, the fourth lens group D, the fifth lens group E and the sixth internally reflective lens group F are coaxially arranged in sequence;

[0137] The first lens group A is a zoom group;

[0138] 0 <f A / f<30;-30 <f B / f<0;180 <f C / f<210;-10 <f D / f<20;-30 <f E / f<0;-20 <f F / f<10;

[0139] Where, f is the focal length of the entire microscope optical system, f A is the focal length of the first internal reflective lens group A, f B is the focal length of the second lens group B, f C is the focal length of the third lens group C, f D is the focal length of the fourth lens group D, f E is the focal length of the fifth lens group E, f F is the focal length of the sixth internal reflection lens group F.

[0140] In the prior art, since the tube lenses of existing microscope optical systems are mostly of constant magnification, it is not only difficult to meet the user's needs for multiple magnifications and multiple fields of view, but also difficult to match microscope objective lenses with high numerical apertures.

[0144] Among them, the first lens group A is a zoom group. When the first lens group A moves along the axial direction, the magnification of the microscope optical system changes accordingly, and the range of change is 50 times to 250 times. The zoom stroke is short and the curve is smooth.

[0146] The ratio of the focal length of the third lens group C to the focal length of the entire microscope optical system is set to be greater than 180 and less than 210, so as to ensure that the emitted light is parallel light;

[0162] like Figure 2 As shown, the image side surface S1 of the first lens 1 is convex, and the object side surface is S2 convex, and the range of the curvature radius is -90mm <r1<-80mm、50mm<r2<60mm;

[0163] The image side surface S3 of the second lens 2 is concave, and the object side surface S4 is convex, and the range of its curvature radius is -940mm <r3<-930mm、-50mm<r4<-40mm;
