Description

Imprinting apparatus, method for stamping and impressing mould
Technical field
The pattern that the present invention relates to be used for to offer mould is impressed into imprinting apparatus and the method for stamping on the element on substrate or the substrate, and also relates to impressing mould.
Background technology
In recent years, as people such as Stephan Y.Chou at Appl.Phys.Lett., the 67th volume, the 21st phase, proposed in the 3114-3116 page or leaf (1995), a kind of fine pattern transfer that is used for being located on the mould is developed and receives publicity to the technology on semiconductor, glass, resin, metal or the analog.This technology is called as nano impression or nanometer embossing, and reason is the resolution characteristic that it has about several nanometers.By utilizing this technology, can handle the three-dimensional structure of wafer scale simultaneously.For this reason, wish that this technology is applied to such as the production technology of the such optical device of photonic crystal with such as the production technology of the such structure of μ-TAS (micro-total analysis system) and biochip.
In the treatment technology that uses such nano impression, when it for example was used for semiconductor fabrication etc., the fine pattern on the mould was transferred on the element on substrate or the substrate in the following manner.
At first, on substrate (for example semiconductor wafer), form the photocurable resin material layer.
Then, expection pattern mould formed thereon is pressed against on the resin bed, uses ultraviolet rays irradiation afterwards with curing resin material.As a result, the pattern that is formed on the mould is transferred on the resin bed.
, by use resin bed as mask implement etching, on substrate, form the pattern of mould thus thereafter.
During stamping technique transfer impression is formed in pattern on the mould, in order to implement the high resolving power fine processing by improving transfer printing precision, must Measurement die and substrate between distance (gap).
U.S. Patent No. 6,696,220 B2 have described a kind of method by the gap between interferometer measurement mould and the substrate.US 6,696, and 220 B2 also disclose a kind of gap measuring method, and it can be by the shape measure gap of designing mould suitably, even described gap (distance) is 1/4 or following distance of the light wavelength measured with interferometer.This gap measuring method will be described with reference to figure 8.
The distance between the surface 704 of the first surface 702 of mould 701 and substrate 706 for 1/4 or the following situation of measuring wavelength under, be difficult to by the accurate measuring distance 706 of interferometer.At US 6,696, in the gap measuring method that 220 B2 describe, measurement zone is located at the position different with the position that forms first surface 702.In measurement zone, provide second surface 703 in addition.By such structure, when the distance between second surface 703 and the substrate surface 704 for measure wavelength 1/4 or when above, can measure the distance between second surface 703 and the substrate surface 704.For this reason, by the distance 705 between prior measurement first surface 702 and the second surface 703, value that can measuring distance 706, though this distance for measure wavelength 1/4 or below.
Carry one in passing, needing the current of high resolving power fine processing day by day, in above-mentioned nano impression, need further to improve about the impression precision.
Yet at US 6,696, disclosed gap measuring method not necessarily satisfies such needs among 220 B2.
More specifically, the distance 705 between first surface 702 and the second surface 703 can not be measured, reason be these surfaces not toward each other.Therefore, the distance between distance 705 and second surface 703 and the substrate surface 704 need be measured by the method except that the method for using interferometer.Yet, when these two distances are measured by the method except that the method for using interferometer, produced such problem, measuring error promptly takes place easily.
Further, US 6,696,220 B2 also described need be in the textural optical system different with the optical system that is used to implement the range observation between mould and the substrate so that carry out the measurement of position in the plane of mould and substrate.At US 6,696, in the described method of 220 B2, implement to aim in the plane based on the data that obtain by position measurement in the plane.Carry one in passing, term " in the plane " is used about the plane of the treatment surface that is parallel to mould, and the position is by X in the plane, and Y and θ represent.Further, the distance between mould and the substrate (gap) is represented by Z.
Using the device of nano impression is a kind of like this treating apparatus, and promptly the ratio of the size between mould and the imprinted pattern is 1: 1, is different from the device that is used to reduce exposure such as ledex or analog.For this reason, back from the rear surface of mould to the position, space constraints is compared with the situation of ledex or analog and is wanted harsh.For example, the pattern area at the treatment surface place of mould is the diameter that 26 * 36mm and the object lens that are used for optical system have about 20mm, makes these sizes belong to same order.
Therefore, as US 6,696, described in 220 B2, when being provided for implementing the optical system of range observation independently and being used to implement the optical system of position measurement in the plane, be difficult to these optical systems are arranged in the same area together.For this reason, the problem of existence is owing to temperature variation, vibration etc. is difficult to prevent the range observation error that caused by the position deviation between mould and the substrate.

Embodiment
(embodiment 1)
In embodiment 1, with the structure example of describing according to imprinting apparatus of the present invention.
Fig. 1 has shown the structure example of the imprinting apparatus among the embodiment 1.
With reference to figure 1, imprinting apparatus comprises travel mechanism 105 in exposure light source 101, mould retaining part 102, workpiece retaining part 103, workpiece pressing mechanism 104, the plane, optical system 106, measurement light source 107, beam splitter 108, spectroscope 109, image pick up equipment 110, analyzer 111, impression control gear 112, mould 113, photocurable resin material 114 and substrate 115.
Mould retaining part 102 is implemented the clip of mould 13 by vacuum clip method or similar approach.Workpiece or workpiece are movable to desired location by travel mechanism in the plane 105.Workpiece pressing mechanism 104 can be regulated the height of workpiece and workpiece is exerted pressure.
By the way, workpiece pressing mechanism 104 can be monitored by scrambler along the position of short transverse.Scrambler can have 100nm or following precision ideally.The control that move position with respect to workpiece, pressure applies and expose is implemented by impression control gear 112.
Further, imprinting apparatus also can comprise the detection system (not shown) that is used to implement aligning in the plane.
Substrate 115 is arranged in the position relative with mould 113 and applies photocurable resin material 114 on substrate 115.By the way, will be transferred to the material of the element on it as the pattern of mould, it is not limited to the photocurable resin material, but also can be thermoset resin material, organic SOG (face glass system) material, inorganic SOG material etc.
Then, with the clearance measurement mechanism of describing among this embodiment.
Clearance measurement mechanism among this embodiment comprises optical system 106, measurement light source 107, beam splitter 108, spectroscope 109, image pick up equipment 110 and analyzer 111.
The light source of the broadband light of 400nm-800nm constitutes measurement light source 107 by for example sending.
The light that sends from measurement light source 107 passes optical system 106 arrival mould 113, photocurable resin material 114 and substrates 115.Described light is interfered among mould 113, photocurable resin material 114 and substrate 115.Interference light returns optical system 106 then and arrives spectroscope 109.The light of spectroscope 109 scatterings is observed by the image pick up equipment 110 such as line sensor.
Analyzer 111 comprises the memory device that is used for storing in advance refractive index and measurement data and carries out Signal Processing from image pick up equipment.
Here, by additional beam splitter being offered optical system, also optical system can be divided into the optical system that is used to implement the optical system of clearance measurement and is used to implement to aim in the plane (position adjustments).As a result, can implement independently to aim at and clearance measurement in the plane by less optical system.
Then, will the measuring principle of film thickness and clearance distance be described.At first, will method that use narrow-band light source be described.
As such light source, laser, LED etc. are arranged.Further, also can use the wideband light source that has wave filter.
Here, film has thickness d and refractive index n, considers two catoptrical situations of end surfaces at film.
Under the situation that light intensity reduces, wave number k MoAnd wavelength X MoRepresent by the following relationship of using arbitrary integer m.
k mo = 1 λ mo = 2 m + 1 4 nd
Further, under the situation that light intensity increases, wave number k MeAnd wavelength X MeRepresent by the following relationship of using integer m.
k me = 1 λ me = m 2 nd
As mentioned above, light intensity changes according to wave number and wavelength period ground, makes it for all periodically changing with half each corresponding distance of wavelength.For example, be 600nm and refractive index n when being 1.5 when measuring wavelength, the period of change of light intensity is 200nm.
In order to measure the distance less than this cycle, for example, scrambler has the precision of about 100nm.Further, when the sum of the deviations of the initial position of die surface and substrate surface is in 100nm, can Measurement die and substrate between absolute distance.
Then, under the situation of measurement light source 107 in this embodiment, will describe by using wideband light source to determine the method for the absolute distance in the thickness of film and gap.As wideband light source, can use halogen light source, xenon light source etc.
The synoptic diagram that shows the relation between wave number and the light intensity when Fig. 2 (a)-2 (c) is when refractive index separately and film thickness differs from one another separately.
Fig. 2 (a) has shown the state that three crests and three troughs are arranged in measuring wave number (scope).Fig. 2 (b) has shown the state that two crests and two troughs are arranged in measuring wave number.Fig. 2 (c) has shown the state that single crest and single trough are arranged in measuring wave number.
Film among Fig. 2 (a)-2 (c) has refractive index n respectively a, n bAnd n c, and have thickness d respectively a, d bAnd d cIn Fig. 2 (a) and 2 (b), reference number 201 and 202 is represented the peak-to-peak distances of adjacent wave and is respectively 1/2n ad aAnd 1/2n bd bIn Fig. 2 (c), reference number 203 is represented the distance between adjacent peaks and the trough and is 1/4n cd cBased on these values, can be by frequency analysis Fourier transform and for example with respect to peak value detection computations optical length (distance) nd of crest and crest or crest and trough.
The minimum value that can measure wave number is regarded as k L=1/ λ LAnd the maximal value that can measure wave number is regarded as k M=1/ λ MFurther, suppose that for the purpose of simplifying the description refractive index does not depend on wavelength.Do not consider to make the light that passes the upper end to reflect in the lower end reflection and then in top and bottom to leave the repeatedly influence of reflection of film yet.
For example, as concrete numerical example, can consider d a=800nm, d b=500nm, d c=300nm, n=1.4, k L=1/400, and k M=1/800 situation.
In the method for this embodiment, the number of crest and trough reduces when the less thick of film, makes that acquisition can be measured minimum thickness d when m=0 MinAnd by following formulate.
d min = 1 4 n k M = λ L 4 n
When the value in the above-mentioned numerical example was applied in the formula, can measure minimum thickness was 71nm.
Then, when considering film by two-layer the composition, light is reflected on the respective end surface.For example, has thickness d respectively when two-layer aAnd d bThe time, the summation of the spectrum of Fig. 2 (b) of the spectrum of Fig. 2 of multiplication by constants (a) and multiplication by constants obtains by the light that use has enough wide frequency band.
Implement frequency analysis by the summation of using spectrum, at three position n ad a, n bd bAnd n ad a+ n bd bThe place produces peak value.
Further, film by three layers of situation about forming under, the summation enforcement frequency analysis of the spectrum by using Fig. 2 (a), 2 (b) and 2 (c), peak value appears at six position n ad a, n bd b, n cd c, n ad a+ n bd b, n bd b+ n cd cAnd n ad a+ n bd b+ n cd c
By the way, in this embodiment, optical interference measurement still also can be used the method for utilizing ellipsometry as measuring method.In using the method for ellipsometry, observe incident light and catoptrical polarized state to obtain the distance etc. between film thickness, mould and the substrate.
Then, with the gap measuring method of describing among this embodiment.
The application conditions of this method is the coherent length that is shorter than light from the rear surface of mould to the optical length of the front surface of substrate.When optical length is longer than coherent length, can interfere with each other at the light of the front surface place of the rear surface of mould and substrate reflection, thereby be immeasurablel.
By the way, coherent length L can be by following formulate:
L = c δf = λ 1 λ 2 λ 1 - λ 2
Wherein c represents the light velocity, and of represents frequency, and δ f represents spectrum width.By the way, this formula is revised by c=f λ.Further, the maximum wavelength in the λ 1 expression spectrum, the minimum wavelength in the λ 2 expression spectrum.
For example, when λ 1 and λ 2 were approximately equal to 400nm and λ 1-λ 2=0.01nm, coherent length was 16nm.In this case, when mould had the thickness of 6mm, mold thickness was less than coherent length, so the measurement of allowable clearance (distance between mould and the substrate).
Then, will mould and the position of substrate and the relation between the interference light (coherent light) be described.
Fig. 3 (a) is the synoptic diagram of the state that shows that mould and resin material do not contact with each other.In this state, broadband light enters mould and reflects at the rear surface 301 of mould, first surface 302, resin material surface 303 and substrate surface 304 places of mould.Reflected light separately interferes with each other shown in reference number 305 and the return measurement system.
Here, the distance between the first surface of the rear surface of mould and mould (pattern is formed at the there) is regarded as d 1, first substrate of mould and the distance between the resin material surface are regarded as d 2, the distance between resin material surface and the substrate surface is regarded as d 3
In this case, when interference light was scattered and be subjected to frequency analysis, peak value appeared at six position n 1d 1, n 2d 2, n 3d 3, n 1d 1+ n 2d 2, n 2d 2+ n 3d 3And n 1d 1+ n 2d 2+ n 3d 3, n wherein 1The refractive index of expression mould, n 2The refractive index of expression air, n 3The refractive index of expression photocurable resin material.
Suppose that these refractive indexes do not change during impressing, can obtain apart from d by calculating 1, d 2And d 3By the way, these refractive indexes can be stored in advance in the storer of imprinting apparatus and can be by suitable reference.
Fig. 3 (b) is the synoptic diagram of the state that shows that mould and resin material contact with each other.
In this case, the refractive index of mould and resin material is closer to each other, makes in the reflection of the surface that forms pattern rare.For this reason, peak value appears at position n 1d 1+ n 3d 3
Then, the sequence that makes mould measurement clearance (between mould and the substrate) near the substrate time will be described in.
At first, the distance between mould rear surface and substrate surface is coherent length or above position, measures and store the thickness of mould.Then, make mould near substrate by the wavelength compressing mechanism.Implement the supervision of the distance between mould and the substrate by the scrambler of wavelength compressing mechanism.When making mould further when the substrate, mould is placed to substrate contacts.In this contact condition, peak value appears at position n 1d 1+ n 3d 3
By from the value n 1d 1+ n 3d 3Deduct the n of prior measurement 1d 1, can calculate d 3As a result, can determine substrate surface and form distance between the surface of pattern.
By using the method described in this embodiment, be subjected to n in advance 1d 1The optical axis of measurement identical with the optical axis of the measurement that during mould is near substrate, is subjected to distance.For this reason, can determine accurately that pattern forms the distance between substrate and the substrate surface.
When can control accurately pattern form between substrate and the substrate surface apart from the time, can also control the thickness of the remaining thin layer that forms by the resin material on the substrate accurately.As a result, can also in the subsequent etch process, improve the precision of pattern transfer to the substrate.
Further, under the situation of value near the refractive index of resin material of the refractive index of the material that constitutes die surface, when mould and resin material contact with each other, be difficult to obtain reflectance spectrum from the border surface between them.For this reason, in the conventional method that mould rear surface or analog are measured, be difficult to measured pattern and form distance between surface and the substrate surface.Yet in this embodiment, the rear surface of mould is also measured, though make also can the Measurement die surface under the situation that mould and substrate contact with each other and substrate surface between distance.
The intensity spectrum of light source is not flat, further preferably in advance cuts apart enforcement normalization between measured intensity spectrum and spectrum by carrying out measuring light and the intensity spectrum.As a result, can be with more high precision enforcement frequency analysis.
Further, further preferably clearance measurement mechanism is located at three or three and locates with top.As a result, can detect the inclination between mould and the substrate, the feasible depth of parallelism that can also regulate between mould and the substrate.
As the other method of regulating the depth of parallelism between mould and the substrate, it also is preferred being used for along the driving mechanism of direction driving optical system in the plane.As a result, can be in direction traverse measurement light in the plane measurement clearance.For example, can detect the inclination between mould and the substrate by the point that moves at initial point, along directions X with along the some place measurement clearance that the Y direction moves.As a result, can regulate the depth of parallelism.
The structure that in Fig. 4 (a)-4 (c), has shown mould among this embodiment.In these figure, first element 401 constitutes the main body of moulds and for example quartz glass (n: be approximately equal to 1.5) or sapphire (n: be approximately equal to 1.8) form by transparent material.
Fig. 4 (a) has shown and has used mould front surface 402 and mould rear surface 403 mold structure as surface measurements.Rectangle region 406 is measurement zones of being measured.
Fig. 4 (b) has shown that the surface 405 of using between mould front surface 402 and mould rear surface 403 replaces the mold structure of mould rear surface 403 as surface measurements.Similar with Fig. 4 (a), rectangle region 406 is measurement zones of being measured.This is configured in pattern and forms distance between surface 402 and the mould rear surface 403 to be longer than under the situation of coherent length be effective.Yet in this case, pattern forms surface 402 and the surface distance between 405 and need be shorter than coherent length.
Fig. 4 (c) has shown another embodiment of Fig. 4 (b), and rectangle measurement zone 406 is positioned at the depressed part office.
By the way, mould front surface, mould rear surface 403 and surface 405 can be plane surfaces ideally.
(embodiment 2)
In embodiment 2, with the measuring method of the border surface between two elements of description use as mould and this mould of use of surface measurements.This embodiment is useful, and it also is suitable under the situation of mold thickness even reason is to be shorter than in coherent length.
Fig. 5 (a) has shown and has used the mold structure of two border surfaces between the element as surface measurements.This mould is made of first element 401 and second mould 407.Border surface between these first elements 401 and second element 407 is by reference number 408 indications.Further, first element 401, second element 407 are made of the different material of refractive index with the photocurable resin material.
As the material that is used for second element 407, can use titanium dioxide (n: be approximately equal to 2.4), ITO (n: be approximately equal to 2), silicon nitride (n: be approximately equal to 2) etc.Further, represent with optical length, the thickness of second element 407 can be desirably measure wavelength 1/4 or more than.
Fig. 5 (b) has shown another embodiment of Fig. 5 (a).In this embodiment, not only the part of teat but also contiguous this teat is formed by second element 407.
By the way, the border surface between first element 401 and second element 407 can be a plane surface ideally.
Then, will the method for the mould measurement clearance (between mould and the substrate) of using this embodiment be described.The part identical with embodiment 1 will be omitted explanation.
