摘要

Meeting the stringent error budget for the insertion of 157 nm lithography for the manufacturing of microcircuit devices in the sub-100 nm regime requires that mask-related distortions be minimized, corrected, or possibly eliminated. Such sources include the pellicle system, which has been previously identified as a potential cause of image placement error. To characterize the many aspects of pellicle-induced distortions, comprehensive finite element (FE) models were developed, and experiments using commercially available soft pellicles (as well as analytical calculations) were used to check the results of the numerical simulations.; The main sources of distortions are: (a) attachment of initially distorted components, (b) temperature variations, (c) gravity-induced refraction effects, (d) chucking in an exposure tool, and (e) dynamic response during exposure scanning. The FE models have accounted for all of these distortion issues in order to define the specifications (or requirements) for pellicle system components to meet the allotted error budgets for 157 nm lithography and beyond.; For the study of soft pellicles, various gasket materials were tested for elastic modulus, the curvatures of reticles and pellicles were measured before and after pelliclization, and image placement data was collected by Intel, in order to benchmark the FE models for the attachment of initially distorted components. The effects of temperature changes were simulated and compared to results experimentally obtained at Intel. In addition, the distortions induced when chucking the reticle/pellicle system in the exposure tool were also quantified.; For the study of hard pellicles, first, gasket materials were tested for elastic modulus, and the effect of purging ports in glass frames was investigated. It was then possible to simulate the effect of temperature changes and the attachment of bowed components. The FE code for the simulation of distortions from hard pellicle refraction was benchmarked against analytical results, and properties and dimensions were varied to optimize the design for static effects. The mounting of the reticle/pellicle system in the exposure tool was simulated, and, finally, the dynamic response of hard pellicles during exposure scanning was studied.
