Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical system design in semiconductor device processing and testing equipment, and in particular to an objective lens for wafer surface defect detection. Background Art

[0002] Semiconductor wafer defect detection refers to the process of detecting physical defects (such as particles, scratches, protrusions, etc.) and pattern defects (such as broken lines and short circuits in circuit patterns) on the surface of the wafer during the semiconductor manufacturing process. As the feature size of integrated circuits continues to shrink, the requirements for the resolution of the detection system are also increasing.

[0003] At present, the characteristics of semiconductor devices have reached the nanometer level, and the detection must be able to detect extremely small anomalies, which requires extremely high precision and resolution. Therefore, how to improve the resolution of the objective lens is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0004] A Chinese patent document discloses "an imaging objective lens", and its publication number is CN 117991481A. The patent document can effectively disperse the configuration of the positive refractive power in the objective lens by reasonably configuring the refractive power of the four lenses in the imaging objective lens, so that the third lens and the fourth lens with convex and concave shapes cooperate with each other, which can effectively reduce the overall sensitivity of the objective lens. However, the resolution of the objective lens in this patent is not high and is not suitable for defect detection of semiconductor wafers. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide an objective lens for wafer surface defect detection, so as to solve the problem that the existing objective lens has low resolution and is not suitable for defect detection of semiconductor wafers.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose and other related purposes, the present invention provides an objective lens for wafer surface defect detection, comprising a first lens group, a second lens group, a third lens group and a fourth lens group, wherein the first lens group comprises a first lens, a second lens, a third lens and a fourth lens arranged in sequence according to the incident direction of light, the optical power of each lens in the first lens group is as follows: the optical power of the first lens is positive, the optical power of the second lens is negative, the optical power of the third lens is negative, and the optical power of the fourth lens is negative, and the optical power presented by the first lens group as a whole is negative;

[0008] The third lens group includes an eighth lens, a ninth lens, a tenth lens and an eleventh lens arranged in sequence according to the incident direction of light, and the focal powers of the lenses in the third lens group are as follows: the focal power of the eighth lens is negative, the focal power of the ninth lens is positive, the focal power of the tenth lens is positive, and the focal power of the eleventh lens is positive, and the focal power of the third lens group as a whole is positive;

[0009] The fourth lens group includes a twelfth lens, a thirteenth lens, a fourteenth lens and a fifteenth lens arranged in sequence according to the incident direction of light, the focal powers of the lenses in the fourth lens group are as follows: the focal power of the twelfth lens is positive, the focal power of the thirteenth lens is positive, the focal power of the fourteenth lens is positive, and the focal power of the fifteenth lens is positive, and the aperture is located behind the twelfth lens;

[0010] The first lens group is used to receive light emitted by the light source and refract the light to the second lens group, the second lens group is used to collect light emitted from the first lens group and refract the collected light to the third lens group, the third lens group is used to collect light emitted from the second lens group and refract the collected light to the fourth lens group, the fourth lens group is used to focus the light on the wafer surface, and the lenses in the objective lens are on the same optical axis.

[0011] In the above technical solution of the present application, when the optical focal length is positive, it indicates that a convergence effect is produced on the incident light, and when the optical focal length is negative, it indicates that a divergence effect is produced on the incident light. The objective lens includes a first lens group with negative optical power, a second lens group with positive optical power, a third lens group with positive optical power, and a fourth lens group with positive optical power. The first lens group includes four lenses with optical powers of positive, negative, negative, and negative, respectively; the second lens group includes three lenses with optical powers of positive, positive, and positive, respectively; the third lens group includes four lenses with optical powers of negative, positive, positive, and positive, respectively; the fourth lens group includes four lenses with optical powers of positive, positive, positive, and positive, respectively; the first lens group is responsible for receiving the light source and refracting the light source to the second lens group, the second lens group collects the light emitted from the first lens group and refracts the collected light to the third lens group, the third lens group collects the light emitted from the second lens group and refracts the collected light to the fourth lens group, the fourth lens group focuses the light on the wafer, and the lenses in the objective lens are all on the same optical axis.

[0012] The aperture stop is a stop in an optical system that limits the solid angle (cone angle) of the imaging beam of the object point on the axis, also known as the effective stop; the aperture stop forms an entrance pupil by imaging the object space through the lens in front of it, and forms an exit pupil by imaging the image space through the lens behind it.
