Definitions
- This invention relates to an immersion lithography system and more particularly to methods, as well as systems, for cleaning up the optical element that contacts and absorbs water in the process of immersion lithography.
- Immersion lithography systems such as disclosed in WO99/49504 which is herein incorporated by reference for describing the general background ofthe technology as well as some general considerations related thereto, are adapted to supply a liquid into the space between a workpiece such as a wafer and the last-stage optical element of an optical system for projecting the image of a reticle on the workpiece. The liquid thus supplied improves the performance ofthe optical system and the quality ofthe exposure.
- the liquid to be supplied may be water for light with wavelength of 193nm although different liquids may be necessary for light with other wavelengths. Because the last-stage optical element ofthe optical system is exposed to the liquid, there is a possibility that some ofthe liquid may be absorbed. This possibility is particularly high if the last-stage optical element ofthe optical system is a lens because calcium fluoride is a common lens material for lithography systems while it is a hygroscopic material, ready to absorb water from the surrounding environment. The absorbed water may cause several problems. Firstly, it may degrade the image projected by the lens by changing the refractive properties ofthe lens or by causing the lens to swell to thereby change the geometry ofthe lens. Secondly, it may cause long-term degradation ofthe lens due to chemical effects.
- Immersion lithography apparatus of tin ' s invention includes a reticle stage arranged to retain a reticle, a working stage arranged to retain a workpiece, an optical system including an illumination source and an optical element opposite the workpiece for having an image pattern ofthe reticle projected thereon by radiation from the illumination source while defining a gap between the optical element and the workpiece and a fluid-supplying device for providing an immersion liquid between and contacting both the optical element and the workpiece during an immersion lithography process.
- the apparatus also includes a cleaning device to clean the optical element.
- cleaning will be used to mean both removing immersion liquid that has been absorbed into the optical element and removing dirt, debris, salts and the like.
- the aforementioned cleaning device may comprise a cleaning liquid having affinity to the immersion liquid to be contacted with the optical element. If the immersion liquid is water, ethanol may serve as the cleaning liquid.
- the cleaning device may include a heat-generating device for heating the optical element and/or a vacuum device for generating a vacuum condition on the optical element.
- Ultrasonic vibrations may be used for removing the absorbed liquid.
- An ultrasonic vibrator such as a piezoelectric transducer may be attached to the housing for the optical element or placed opposite the optical element such that the vibrations may be transmitted to the optical element through a liquid maintained in the gap.
- cavitating bubbles may be used for the removal ofthe absorbed liquid.
- a pad with fins may be used to generate cavitating bubbles in a liquid maintained in the gap between the pad and the optical element.
- the nozzles through which the immersion liquid is supplied into the gap between the workpiece and the optical element may be used to alternatively supply a cleaning liquid by providing a flow route-switching device such as a switch valve.
- a flow route-switching device such as a switch valve.

- components that are similar or equivalent may be indicated by a same symbol or numeral in different figures and may not be explained repetitiously for the simplicity of description.
- Fig. 1 shows an immersion lithography apparatus 100 on which cleaning methods and systems of this invention may be applied.
- the immersion lithography apparatus 100 comprises an illuminator optical unit 1 including a light source such as an excimer laser unit, an optical integrator (or homogenizer) and a lens and serving to emit pulsed ultraviolet light IL with wavelength 248nm to be made incidence to a pattern on a reticle R.
- the pattern on the reticle R is projected on a wafer W coated with a photoresist at a specified magnification (such as 1/4 or 1/5) tlirough a telecentric light projection unit PL.
- the pulsed light IL may alternatively be ArF excimer laser light with wavelength 193nm, F 2 laser light with wavelength 157nm or the i-line of a mercury lamp with wavelength 365nm.
- the coordinate system with X-, Y- and Z-axes as shown in Fig. 1 is referenced to explain the directions in describing the structure and functions ofthe lithography apparatus 100.
- the light projection unit PL is illustrated in Fig. 1 only by way of its last- stage optical element (such as a lens) 4 disposed opposite to the wafer W and a cylindrical housing 3 containing the rest of its components.
- the reticle R is supported on a reticle stage RST incorporating a mechanism for moving the reticle R in the X-direction, the Y-direction and the rotary direction around the Z-axis.
- the two-dimensional position and orientation ofthe reticle R on the reticle stage RST are detected by a laser interferometer (not shown) in real time and the positioning ofthe reticle R is effected by a main control unit 14 on the basis ofthe detection thus made.
- the wafer W is held by a wafer holder (not shown) on a Z-stage 9 for controlling the focusing position (along the Z-axis) and the tilting angle ofthe wafer W.
- the Z-stage 9 is affixed to an XY-stage 10 adapted to move in the XY-plane substantially parallel to the image-forming surface ofthe light projection unit PL.
- the XY-stage 10 is set on a base 11.
- the Z-stage 9 serves to match the wafer surface with the image surface ofthe light projection unit PL by adjusting the focusing position (along the Z-axis) and the tilting angle ofthe wafer W by the auto- focusing and auto-leveling method
- the XY-stage 10 serves to adjust the position ofthe wafer W in the X-direction and the Y-direction.
- the two-dimensional position and orientation ofthe Z-stage 9 (and hence also ofthe wafer W) are monitored in real time by another laser interferometer 13 with reference to a mobile mirror 12 affixed to the Z-stage 9.
- Control data based on the results of this monitoring are transmitted from the main control unit 14 to a stage- driving unit 15 adapted to control the motions ofthe Z-stage 9 and the XY-stage 10 according to the received control data.
- the projection light is made to sequentially move from one to another of different exposure positions on the wafer W according to the pattern on the reticle R in a step-and-repeat routine or in a step-and-scan routine.
- the lithography apparatus 100 being described with reference to Fig. 1 is an immersion lithography apparatus and is hence adapted to have a liquid (or the "immersion liquid") 7 of a specified kind such as water filling the space (the "gap") between the surface ofthe wafer W and the lower surface ofthe last-stage optical element 4 ofthe light projection unit PL at least while the pattern image ofthe reticle R is being projected on the wafer W.
- a liquid (or the "immersion liquid" 7 of a specified kind such as water filling the space (the "gap") between the surface ofthe wafer W and the lower surface ofthe last-stage optical element 4 ofthe light projection unit PL at least while the pattern image ofthe reticle R is being projected on the wafer W.
- the last-stage optical element 4 ofthe light projection unit PL may be detachably affixed to the cylindrical housing 3 and is designed such that the liquid 7 will contact only the last-stage optical element 4 and not the cylindrical housing 3 because the housing 3 typically comprises a metallic material and is likely to become corroded.
- the liquid 7 is supplied from a liquid supply unit 5 that may comprise a tank, a pressure pump and a temperature regulator (not individually shown) to the space above the wafer W under a temperature-regulated condition and is collected by a liquid recovery unit 6.
- the temperature ofthe liquid 7 is regulated to be approximately the same as the temperature inside the chamber in which the lithography apparatus 100 itself is disposed.
- Numeral 21 indicates supply nozzles through which the liquid 7 is supplied from the supply unit 5.
- Numeral 23 indicates recovery nozzles through which the liquid 7 is collected into the recovery unit 6.
- the cleaning methods and devices ofthe present invention are applicable to immersion lithography apparatus of many different kinds.
- the numbers and arrangements ofthe supply and recovery nozzles 21 and 23 around the light projection unit PL may be designed in a variety of ways for establishing a smooth flow and quick recovery ofthe immersion liquid 7.
- a method embodying this invention of removing the portion ofthe liquid 7 such as water absorbed by the last-stage optical element 4 made of a hygroscopic material, as well as dirt, debris, etc., is explained next with reference to Figs. 1 and 4.
- the cleaning device 30 may be placed on the Z-stage 9 or the aforementioned wafer holder thereon, as shown in Fig. 4, in place ofthe wafer W.
- the cleaning device 30 may be a container containing a liquid ("cleaning liquid") with a strong affinity to the immersion liquid 7 which is absorbed by the optical element 4. If the immersion liquid 7 is water, the cleaning device 30 may contain ethanol since ethanol has a strong affinity to water. Any cleaning liquid may be used provided it has a sufficiently strong affinity to the liquid to be removed and does not damage the optical element 4 or its coating. The bottom surface ofthe optical element 4 is soaked in the cleaning liquid for a period of time sufficiently long to reduce the level ofthe absorbed liquid. The cleaning device 30 is removed thereafter and the optical element 4 is ready to be exposed to the liquid 7 again.
- cleaning liquid a liquid
- the cleaning device 30 may contain ethanol since ethanol has a strong affinity to water.
- Any cleaning liquid may be used provided it has a sufficiently strong affinity to the liquid to be removed and does not damage the optical element 4 or its coating.
- the bottom surface ofthe optical element 4 is soaked in the cleaning liquid for a period of time sufficiently long to reduce the level ofthe absorbed liquid.
- the cleaning device 30 may contain a heat-generating device and/or a vacuum device (not separately shown).
- the combination of heat and vacuum on the surface ofthe optical element 4 causes the absorbed liquid to undergo a phase change into vapor, or to evaporate from the surface.
- the reduction in liquid density on the surface ofthe optical element 4 draws the liquid 7 that is absorbed more deeply in the element 4 to the surface.
- Fig. 5 shows a third example wherein use is made of an ultrasonic transducer
- the ultrasonic transducer 32 (or ultrasonic vibrator) 32 attached to the housing 3 ofthe light projection unit PL.
- the ultrasonic transducer 32 (such as a piezoelectric transducer) is activated, pressure waves are generated and propagated, serving to clean the surface ofthe optical element 4.
- the gap adjacent the optical element 4 is filled with the immersion liquid 7.
- the supply and recovery nozzles can continue to supply and collect the immersion liquid 7, or the supply and rec4eovery nozzles can stop supplying and collecting the immersion liquid 7.
- the optical element 4 can face a surface of wafer W, a surface of the Z-stage 9, or a surface of another assembly.
- Fig. 6 is a fourth example using a vibratory tool 34 placed below the optical element 4 to be cleaned.
- the tool 34 may be shaped like the wafer W with thickness more or less equal to that ofthe wafer W, or about 0.5-lmm, and may be made entirely of a piezoelectric material such that its thickness will fluctuate when activated.
- pressure waves are generated in the immersion liquid 7 to clean the optical element.
- the gap adjacent the optical element 4 is filled with the immersion 7.
- the supply and recovery nozzles can continue to supply and collect the immersion liquid, or the supply and recovery nozzles can stop supplying and collecting the immersion liquid 7.
- the vibrator tool 34 may be a ultrasonic transducer attached to the wafer holder on a Z-stage 9, or another assembly.
- Fig. 7 shows another tool 36, structured alternatively, having a plurality of piezoelectric transducers 38 supported by a planar supporting member 39. .
- Fig. 8 shows still another example of a cleaning device having two planar members 40 of a piezoelectric material attached in a face-to-face relationship and adapted to oscillate parallel to each other and out of phase by 180° with respect to each other.
- these members 40 attached to each other, will vibrate in the transverse directions, as shown in Fig. 8 in a very exaggerated manner.
- the vibration has node points at constant intervals where the members 40 are not displaced.
- the members 40 are supported at these node points on a supporting member 41.
- voltages are applied to these members 40 so as to cause the vibrations in the mode described above, ultrasonic pressure waves are thereby generated and propagated through the liquid 7, and the optical element 4 is cleaned, as desired.
- Fig. 9 shows still another example of a liquid removal system characterized as cleaning the optical element 4 by creating cavitating bubbles. Cavitating bubbles trapped and energized by ultrasound are high-temperature, high-pressure microreactors and intense energy released by the implosive compression ofthe bubbles is believed to rip molecules apart.
- the example shown in Fig. 9 is characterized as comprising a pad 43 with fins protruding upwards and rapidly moved horizontally as shown by an arrow below the optical element 4 with a bubble- generating liquid 17 filling the gap in between (means for moving the pad 43 not being shown). As the pad 43 is thus moved, the fins serve to stir the liquid 17 and to generate cavitating bubbles which in turn serve to clean the optical element.
- Fig. 9 shows still another example of a liquid removal system characterized as cleaning the optical element 4 by creating cavitating bubbles. Cavitating bubbles trapped and energized by ultrasound are high-temperature, high-pressure microreactors and intense energy released by the implosive compression ofthe bubble
- FIG. 10 shows a different approach to the problem of cleaning the last-stage optical element 4 by applying a cleaning liquid on its bottom surface by using the same source nozzles 21 used for supplying the immersion liquid 7.
- a switch valve 25 is inserted between the supply nozzle 21 and the liquid unit 5 such that the immersion liquid 7 and the cleaning liquid can be supplied selectively through the supply nozzle 21.
- a switch valve as described above need not necessarily be provided to each ofthe source nozzles but may be provided to a group ofthe source nozzles.
- This embodiment ofthe invention is advantageous because the same nozzles already present for supplying the immersion liquid can be utilized for the cleaning process.
- the pad 43 with fins shown in Fig. 9 may be used instead ofthe pad 18 of Fig. 10.
- the examples described above are not intended to limit the scope ofthe invention and many modifications and variations are possible within the scope of this invention.
- a polishing pad similar to one used in chemical mechanical polishing may be used for this purpose.
- the cleanup procedure shown in Figs. 4-10 may be carried out with ultraviolet light.
- the light may irradiate the optical element 4.
- the light may be normal exposure light from the illuminator optical unit 1 or some other light of an appropriate wavelength for the purpose ofthe cleanup.
- the ultraviolet light for the purpose ofthe cleanup may be used without the cleanup procedure shown in Figs. 4-10, and may be used under a condition in which the gap adjacent the optical element 4 is filled with the immersion liquid 7 from the liquid supply unit 5.
- Fig. 2 is referenced next to describe a process for fabricating a semiconductor device by using an immersion lithography apparatus incorporating a liquid jet and recovery system embodying this invention.
- step 301 the device's function and performance characteristics are designed.
- step 302 a mask (reticle) having a pattern is designed according to the previous designing step, and in a parallel step 303, a wafer is made from a silicon material.
- the mask pattern designed in step 302 is exposed onto the wafer from step 303 in step 304 by a photolithography system such as the systems described above.
- step 305 the semiconductor device is assembled (including the dicing process, bonding process and packaging process), then finally the device is inspected in step 306.
- Fig. 3 illustrates a detailed flowchart example ofthe above-mentioned step
- step 311 oxidation step
- step 312 CVD step
- step 313 electrode formation step
- step 314 ion implantation step
- steps 311-314 form the preprocessing steps for wafers during wafer processing, and selection is made at each step according to processing requirements.
