Definitions

  • the invention relates to a field facet mirror for use in a lighting optical system of a projection exposure apparatus for EUV microlithography according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing such a field facet mirror, an illumination optics with such a field facet mirror, a lighting system with such Illumination optics, a projection exposure system with such an illumination system, a method for producing a microstructured or nanostructured component using such a projection exposure apparatus and a microstructured or nanostructured component produced by such a production method.
  • Such a field facet mirror is known from WO2007 / 128407A.
  • such field facet mirrors are intended to provide uniform illumination of the object field and, on the other hand, to lead the greatest possible share of the illumination light provided by an EUV light source to the object field.
  • the facets of the field facet mirror receive a shape and an aspect ratio which are adapted to the object field to be illuminated.
  • the facet main body according to the invention has two opposite spherical side walls, that is, two opposite side walls, which are designed as ball gap sections.
  • spherical sidewalls for a faceted base body offer the possibility of producing these sidewalls with processing methods which are known and tested from the manufacture of lenses. It is then possible to produce the facet main body with high accuracy of the spherical configuration of the side walls. This creates the possibility of an exact arrangement of adjacent facet main bodies to one another, which in turn leads to the possibility of a high occupation density of the field facet mirror in a main reflection plane.
  • the main reflection plane of the field facet mirror is the plane in which the reflection surfaces of all facets of the field facet mirror are arranged.
  • a facet shape according to claim 2 is well adapted to a bow or partial ring shape of an object field to be illuminated.
  • Facets with side walls of the facet base body according to claim 3 can be packed on the one hand very tight and on the other hand allow a displacement of the two adjacent facet base relative to each other along the spherical surface of the two facing each other Side walls. This allows new degrees of freedom in the relative positioning of the field facets of the field facet mirror to each other.
  • Field facets according to claim 4 can be produced with one and the same processing tool for the production of the spherical side walls.
  • Facet mirrors according to claim 5 can be tightly packed on the one hand and on the other hand can be tightly packed between other field facets and yet tilt-adjusted around the center.
  • Field facets according to claim 6 can also be adapted to more exotic object field shapes or to other requirements, for example for intensity control of the illumination light.
  • At least two of the field facets can be tilted by more than 1 ° about an axis perpendicular to the base plane of the field facet mirror, ie perpendicular to the main reflection surface of the field facet mirror.
  • the boundary condition that has been met so far according to which the projection of field facet edges in the direction of a normal of a usually present carrier plate of the known field facet mirrors is identical, identical in terms of both size and shape as well as orientation, becomes thereby given up. Due to the new degree of freedom of the tilting, for example, a precompensation of a possible rotation of the images of individual field facets due to the imaging conditions relative to one another is achievable when they are superposed on the object field.
  • Such a rotation of the faceted images results, as was recognized according to the invention, due to different paths of the illumination light guided channel-by-channel over the field facets through the illumination optics. This can also lead to ner variation of the magnification of the field facets come to the object field.
  • the rotation of the facet images without precompensation leads to the undesired effect of the edge scattering of the object field illumination, since the images of the field facets superimposed on the object field no longer match the different real facet surfaces, especially on the edge.
  • the field facets can be arranged side by side on a carrier plate. This support plate then runs usually parallel to the base plane of the field facet mirror.
  • the tilted arrangement of the field facets represents a degree of freedom previously discarded due to supposed steric accommodation problems of the field facets, which in particular reduces or completely avoids a marginal scattering of the object field illumination observed in the previously known assignment geometries of field facets on the field facet mirror.
  • This variation of the magnification can also be precompensated.
  • the inventive degree of freedom of tilting the field facets about an axis perpendicular to the main reflection plane also facilitates a design in which tilt angles about axes that lie in the main reflection plane and to a large mismatch between the surface of the projection of the reflection surfaces tilted field facets on the Main reflection level on the one hand and the real reflection surface on the other hand lead, are avoided.
  • field facets having a more favorable aspect ratio relative to their occupancy with respect to occupancy of the field facet mirror, without resulting in disturbing edge-side scattering in the field illumination.
  • a corresponding assignment of field facets tilted about the tilt axis perpendicular to the main reflection plane leads to the illumination angles predetermined by association with pupil facets of a pupil facet mirror for the possibility of ensuring intensity monitoring of the illumination light with minimized losses taking place at the edges of the object field.
  • Such field facets can be used in a projection exposure apparatus, within which an object is displaced continuously or stepwise during a projection exposure in an object displacement direction.
  • a partial ring or arc shape of the field facets according to claim 8 allows a well-adapted illumination of a corresponding partial ring or arcuate object field.
  • Such an object field form can be well imaged with a downstream projection optics of the projection exposure apparatus designed as mirror optics.
  • An arrangement of the tilting axis according to claim 9 ensures that tilting of the respective field facet only slightly changes the occupancy requirement of this field facet in the main reflection plane, since tilting leads at best to a slight deviation of the position of the arcuate or partially ring-shaped side edges of the facet Reflection surface leads. With a tilting about this tilting axis, practically only the end faces of the facet reflection surfaces leading or following in the circumferential direction about the pitch circle or arc shape are displaced.
  • Field facets according to claim 10 can be compared to field facets with lower partial ring thickness finished with lower production costs. Accompanied by this minimum partial ring thickness or with this minimum radial extent of the reflection surface of the respective field facet a strength of the respective field facet body which is easier to handle for the production of the field facets. In addition, the mutual relative shading of the field facets may be smaller with increasing width.
  • a further tilting degree of freedom according to claim 11 tilted field facets ensure a desired variability in the assignment of the field facets to pupil facets of a pupil facet mirror of an illumination optics of the EUV projection exposure apparatus.
  • a predetermined and well-mixed assignment of the pupil facets of the pupil facet mirror assigned to the field facets is possible.
  • an axis for the further tilting degree of freedom an axis is selected whose tilt leads to the smallest possible deviation of a surface of a field facet projected onto the main reflection plane from the real reflection surface of the field facet.
  • a field facet mirror according to claim 12, for which various embodiments are specified according to the invention, increases the EUV light throughput within a projection exposure apparatus equipped with such a field facet mirror.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un miroir à facettes de champ destiné à être utilisé dans une optique d'éclairage d'un système d'exposition par projection pour la microlithographie, pour la transmission dans un champ d'image d'une structure d'un objet disposée dans un champ d'objet. Le miroir à facettes de champ comporte une pluralité de facettes de champ (18) présentant des surfaces de réflexion (22). Les surfaces de réflexion (22) des facettes de champ (18) sont chacune constituées d'une paroi frontale d'un corps de base à facettes. Le corps de base à facettes est délimité par deux parois latérales sphériques opposées. Il en résulte un miroir à facettes de champ qui garantit à la fois un éclairement uniforme du champ d'objet et un rendement EUV élevé, répondant à des exigences de haut niveau.
