Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wafer stage for exposure apparatus and a wafer parallel adjustment method using the same, and more particularly, to an exposure apparatus wafer provided with parallel adjustment means which is adjusted up and down to maintain parallelism of the wafer seated on the wafer stage. It relates to a stage and a wafer parallel adjustment method using the same.

일반적으로 반도체 소자를 노광기술을 이용하여 제조할 경우, 포토 마스크 또는 레티클(Reticle)에 형성된 회로패턴을 투영광학계를 매개로 하여 포토래지tm트 (Photo-Resist)등의 감광체가 도포된 반도체 웨이퍼 상의 각 쇼트영역(Shot Area)에 투영 노광하는 노광장치가 사용되고 있다. In general, when a semiconductor device is manufactured using an exposure technique, a circuit pattern formed on a photomask or a reticle is formed on a semiconductor wafer coated with a photosensitive member such as a photo-resist through a projection optical system. An exposure apparatus for projecting exposure to each shot area is used.

이와 같은 노광장치는 광원과, 소정 형상의 회로 패턴이 형성된 래티클이 안착된 래티클 스테이지와, 회로패턴이 전사될 웨이퍼가 진공흡착되어 안착되는 웨이퍼 스테이지와, 광원으로부터 광이 전달되어 래티클의 회로패턴을 웨이퍼 상에 노광시키는 투영광학계를 구비한다.Such an exposure apparatus includes a light source, a reticle stage on which a reticle having a circuit pattern of a predetermined shape is seated, a wafer stage on which a wafer on which a circuit pattern is to be transferred is vacuum-sucked and seated, and light is transmitted from a light source to And a projection optical system for exposing the circuit pattern on the wafer.

일반적으로 투영광학7계 하부에 장착되는 웨이퍼 스테이지는 웨이퍼 상에 형성되는 쇼트영역을 투영광학계의 결상면에 그 중심을 맞추기 위해 XY방향으로 이동가능한 플레이트다. 물론, 래티클 스테이지도 XY방향으로 이동가능한 플레이트이 다.In general, the wafer stage mounted below the projection optical system 7 is a plate movable in the XY direction to center the shot region formed on the wafer at the image forming surface of the projection optical system.

그러나, 웨이퍼가 안착되는 웨이퍼 스테이지상에 미세한 파티클등이 끼임에 따라서 웨이퍼가 경사지게되어 웨이퍼 상의 쇼트영역에서의 초점편차가 발생함으로 인해 CD(Critical Dimension) 불량을 유발하는 문제점이 발생한다.However, as fine particles or the like are caught on the wafer stage on which the wafer is seated, the wafer is inclined, causing a problem of CD (Critical Dimension) defects due to a focal deviation in the short region on the wafer.

Here, the displacement sensor 300 is installed on the driving means body 620 to measure the Z-axis displacement value which is a distance from the bottom surface of the wafer W supported on the lift pin 610. Here, the displacement sensor 300 is preferably an optical sensor composed of a light receiving unit and a light emitting unit, but may also use an ultrasonic sensor.                     

다음은 상기와 같은 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예의 구성을 통한 동작을 설명하도록 한다.Next will be described the operation through the configuration of the preferred embodiment of the present invention as described above.

도 1을 참조하면, 래티클(110)에 형성된 회로패턴을 투영광학계(130)를 통해 웨이퍼(W)의 쇼트영역에 전사시키기 위해 웨이퍼(W)를 웨이퍼 스테이지(800)에 안착시킨다. 여기서 안착되는 웨이퍼(W)는 투영광학계(130)로부터의 결상면이 웨이퍼(W) 상의 쇼트영역과 평행하여야 한다.Referring to FIG. 1, the wafer W is mounted on the wafer stage 800 to transfer the circuit pattern formed on the reticle 110 to the shot region of the wafer W through the projection optical system 130. The wafer W to be seated here must have an image plane from the projection optical system 130 parallel to the short region on the wafer W.

도 2를 참조하면, 웨이퍼(W)는 X축 안착부(710)에 장착된 다수개의 승하강수단(600)의 리프트핀(610) 상부에 안착된다. 이때, 웨이퍼(W) 저면은 리프트핀(610)에 형성된 진공흡입구에 의해 진공흡착된 상태이다.Referring to FIG. 2, the wafer W is seated on the lift pins 610 of the plurality of lifting means 600 mounted on the X-axis seating part 710. At this time, the bottom surface of the wafer (W) is vacuum suctioned by the vacuum suction opening formed in the lift pin (610).

이러한 상태에서 웨이퍼(W) 쇼트영역을 투영광학계(130)의 결상면에 맞추기 위해 제어부(400)는 제 1구동부(510)에 구동신호를 주어 쇼트영역의 중심좌표에 해당하는 X,Y좌표데이타를 기준으로 X, Y안착부(710, 720)를 이동시켜 웨이퍼(W)의 위치를 가변시킨다. In this state, in order to match the short region of the wafer W to the image plane of the projection optical system 130, the controller 400 gives a driving signal to the first driving unit 510 to provide X and Y coordinate data corresponding to the center coordinates of the short region. The position of the wafer W is changed by moving the X and Y seating parts 710 and 720 with respect to the reference point.

이어, 제어부(400)는 평행조절수단을 구동시켜 쇼트영역면과 투영광학계(130)의 결상면이 평행하하도록 한다.Subsequently, the controller 400 drives the parallel adjusting means so that the shot region surface and the imaging surface of the projection optical system 130 are parallel to each other.

먼저, 구동수단몸체들(620)에 장착된 변위센서들(300)은 리프트핀(610) 상부에 지지된 웨이퍼(W) 저면과의 거리인 Z축 변위값들을 각각 계측하고, 이와 같이 각 웨이퍼(W) 저면과의 Z축 변위값이 계측된 상태에서 이 결과를 제어부(400)로 전달시켜 준다.First, the displacement sensors 300 mounted on the driving means bodies 620 respectively measure the Z-axis displacement values, which are distances from the bottom surface of the wafer W supported on the lift pin 610, and thus each wafer. (W) The Z-axis displacement with the bottom surface is measured and the result is transmitted to the controller 400.

제어부(400)는 각 변위센서들(300)로부터 전달받은 Z축 변위값들이 기설정된 최소한의 오차값 범위안에 들면 웨이퍼(W)가 평행인 상태로 된 것으로 인지하여 노광공정을 그대로 진행하게하고, 오차값 범위를 벗어 나게 되면 웨이퍼(W)가 경사지게 된 것이므로 인지하여 각 승하강수단(600)을 구동시켜 웨이퍼(W)를 평행하게 한다.The controller 400 recognizes that the wafers W are in a parallel state when the Z-axis displacement values transmitted from the displacement sensors 300 are within a predetermined minimum error value range, and proceeds the exposure process as it is. If the error value is out of the range because the wafer (W) is inclined to recognize and drive each lifting means 600 to parallel the wafer (W).

여기서, 오차값은 노광공정을 진행함에 있어서 웨이퍼(W) 표면의 최소 경사값이며, 이러한 최소 경사값은 웨이퍼(W)로의 노광공정을 진행함에 있어 영향을 주지않는 최소의 Z축 변위값이다.Here, the error value is the minimum inclination value of the surface of the wafer W in the exposure process, and this minimum inclination value is the minimum Z-axis displacement value that does not affect the exposure process in the wafer W.

이어, 제어부(400)는 상기와 같이 웨이퍼(W)를 평행으로 하기 위해 전달받은 각 Z변위값들을의 평균값을 산출하고, 각 Z축변위값과 상기 평균값을 독립적으로 비교한다.Subsequently, the controller 400 calculates an average value of each of the Z displacement values transmitted to parallel the wafers W as described above, and independently compares each Z axis displacement value with the average value.

이어, 각 Z축변위값들이 상기 평균값에 근사되도록 하는 보정값을 산출한다.Then, a correction value is calculated so that each Z axis displacement value is approximated to the average value.

이와 같이 산출된 보정값은 각 승하강수단(600)의 리프트핀(610)을 동작시키기 위한 구동량으로 산출되는데, 예컨대 상기 보정값은 승하강수단(600)의 리프트핀(610)을 Z축방향에서 양의 방향과 음의 방향으로 구동시키게 하는 값이다.The correction value calculated as described above is calculated as a driving amount for operating the lift pins 610 of each lifting means 600. For example, the correction value is the Z-axis of the lift pins 610 of the lifting means 600. It is the value to drive in the positive and negative direction.

이어, 제어부(400)는 상기와 같이 산출된 구동량을 제 2구동부(520)로 전달시켜 승하강수단(600)을 구동시킨다. 즉, 다수 위치의 승하강수단(600)의 리프트핀(610)을 Z축상에서 승강 또는 하강 시킴으로써 웨이퍼(W)를 평행이되도록 맞추는 것이다.
Subsequently, the controller 400 transmits the driving amount calculated as described above to the second driving unit 520 to drive the lifting means 600. That is, by lifting or lowering the lift pins 610 of the lifting means 600 in multiple positions on the Z axis, the wafers W are aligned to be parallel.

한편, 본 발명에 따른 승하강수단의 설치위치의 다른 실시예의 경우, 웨이퍼(W) 저면의 외주부를 지지할 수 있도록 X축 안착부(710)상에 균등하게 장착될 수도 있다(도 4a 참조). 또한 또 다른 실시예의 경우, 웨이퍼(W) 저면 전체를 지지할 수 있도록 X축 안착부(710) 상에 장착될 수도 있다(도 5b 참조). 이와 같은 경우에도 상기 바람직한 실시예에서 설명한 바와 같이 제어부(400)는 각 변위센서들(300)로부터 Z축 변위값을 전달받아 각 승하강수단(600)을 구동시켜 웨이퍼(W)의 평행을 맞추는 일련의 동작은 동일하다.On the other hand, in another embodiment of the installation position of the elevating means according to the invention, it may be evenly mounted on the X-axis seating portion 710 so as to support the outer peripheral portion of the bottom surface of the wafer (W) (see Fig. 4a) . In addition, in another embodiment, it may be mounted on the X-axis seating portion 710 to support the entire bottom surface of the wafer (W) (see FIG. 5B). Even in this case, as described in the preferred embodiment, the control unit 400 receives the Z-axis displacement values from each of the displacement sensors 300 to drive the respective lifting means 600 to align the wafer W in parallel. The sequence of operations is the same.

다음은 본 발명의 노광장치용 웨이퍼 스테이지를 이용한 웨이퍼 평행조절방법을 설명하도록 한다.Next, a wafer parallel adjusting method using the wafer stage for an exposure apparatus of the present invention will be described.

도 2 및 도5를 참조로 하면, 본 발명에 따른 웨이퍼 평행조절방법은 웨이퍼(W) 저면을 복수 위치에서 복수개의 승하강수단(600)에 의해 지지되고 있는 각 웨이퍼(W) 지지부에서의 웨이퍼(W) 저면과의 Z변위값을 광센서등의 변위센서(300)를 통해 계측하는 단계를 거친다.(S100)2 and 5, the wafer parallel adjustment method according to the present invention is a wafer at each wafer (W) support portion that is supported by a plurality of lifting means 600 in a plurality of positions the bottom surface of the wafer (W) (W) The Z displacement value with the bottom surface is measured through a displacement sensor 300 such as an optical sensor. (S100)

여기서, 제어부(400)는 계측된 Z변위값들이 기 설정된 최소한의 오차값 범위안에 들면 다음 단계를 진행하지 않고, 상기 오차값 범위를 벗어나게 되면 다음 단계를 진행하도록 된다.(S200) Here, the controller 400 does not proceed to the next step when the measured Z displacement values fall within a preset minimum error value range, and proceeds to the next step when the measured Z displacement values are out of the error value range (S200).

이어, 후자의 경우에는 상기와 같이 측된 Z변위값들과, 상기 Z변위값들의 평균값과 비교하여 상기 계측된 Z변위값들과 평균값과의 오차량인 보정값을 산출하는 단계를 거친다.(S300)Subsequently, in the latter case, a correction value that is an error amount between the measured Z displacement values and the average value is calculated by comparing the measured Z displacement values with the average value of the Z displacement values as described above (S300). )

여기서, 최소한의 오차값은 노광공정을 진행함에 있어서 웨이퍼(W) 표면의 최소 경사값이며, 이러한 최소 경사값은 웨이퍼(W)로의 노광공정을 진행함에 있어 영향을 주지않는 최소의 Z축 변위값이다.Here, the minimum error value is the minimum inclination value of the surface of the wafer W in the exposure process, and this minimum inclination value is the minimum Z-axis displacement value that does not affect the exposure process in the wafer W. .

다음, 보정값이 산출된 후, 이러한 보정값에 따라서 상기 웨이퍼(W) 평행을 맞추기 위해 승하강수단(600)의 리프트핀(610)을 Z축방향으로 구동시키기 위한 구동량을 산출하는 단계를 거치는데(S400), 여기서 구동량은 상기 보정값에 따른 각 위치의 복수개의 승하강수단(600)을 구동시키는데 필요한 값이다.Next, after the correction value is calculated, calculating a driving amount for driving the lift pin 610 of the elevating means 600 in the Z-axis direction to align the wafer W according to the correction value. In step S400, the driving amount is a value required to drive the plurality of lifting means 600 at each position according to the correction value.

이어, 상기와 같이 산출된 구동량에 따라서 승하강수단(600)들을 독립적으로 구동시키는 단계(S500)를 거침으로서 웨이퍼(W)는 평행인 상태로 된다.Subsequently, the wafers W are in a parallel state through the step S500 of independently driving the lifting means 600 according to the driving amount calculated as described above.

따라서, 본 발명에 의하면, 스텝퍼 및 스캐너등의 노광장치를 통해 웨이퍼 상에 회로패턴을 노광시킬 경우, 웨이퍼 스테이지 상에 안착되는 웨이퍼의 평행을 실시간으로 조절하게 함으로써, 웨이퍼가 경사지는 것을 방지하여 웨이퍼 쇼트영역에서의 디포커스 현상을 방지할 수 있으며, 또한, 이에 따라 생산되는 제품의 수율을 향상시킬 수 있는 효과가 있다.Therefore, according to the present invention, when exposing a circuit pattern on a wafer through an exposure apparatus such as a stepper and a scanner, the wafer is prevented from tilting by adjusting the parallelism of the wafer seated on the wafer stage in real time. The defocus phenomenon in the short region can be prevented, and accordingly, the yield of the product produced can be improved.
