Definitions
- the invention relates to a projection lens with a lens arrangement that can be divided into six lens groups.
- the first, third, fifth and sixth lens group have positive refractive power and the second and fourth lens group each have negative refractive power.
- the subdivision of the lens system into lens groups is explained in more detail below, the direction of propagation of the radiation being taken as a basis.
- the first lens group is positive and ends with a lens of positive refractive power.
- a belly is formed by the first lens group, it being irrelevant if negative lenses are also arranged in the belly.
- the overall refractive power of the second lens group is negative.
- This second lens group has as the first lens a lens formed on the image side with a concave lens surface.
- This second lens group essentially describes a waist. Again, it is not important if individual positive lenses are included in the second lens group as long as the waist is preserved.
- the third lens group begins with a lens of positive refractive power, which has a convex lens surface on the image side and can be a meniscus. If a thick meniscus lens is provided as the first lens, the separation of the lens groups can be envisaged within the lens.
- the fourth lens group is of negative refractive power.
- This fourth lens group begins with a lens of negative refractive power, followed by several lenses with negative refractive power. A waist is formed by this lens group. It is irrelevant whether lenses with a positive refractive power are also arranged within this lens group, as long as these only influence the beam path over a short distance and the waist shape of the fourth lens group is thus retained.
- the fifth lens group is positive in its entirety.
- the first lens of this fifth lens group has a convex lens surface on the image side.
- a stomach is formed by the fifth lens group.
- the lens with the maximum diameter is followed by at least two positive lenses in the fifth lens group, although negative lenses are also permitted.
- the sixth lens group is also positive in its overall refractive power.
- the first lens of the sixth lens group is negative and has a concave lens surface on the image side. This first lens of the sixth lens group has a much smaller diameter compared to the maximum diameter of the abdomen.
- Such projection objectives are used in particular in microlithography. They are e.g. known from the applicant's DE 198 55 108 A, DE 198 55 157 A, DE 198 55 158 A and the prior art cited therein. These documents should also be part of this application.
- these projection lenses are constructed from purely spherical lenses, since the manufacturing and testing technology for spheres is advantageous.
- Projection lenses are known from DE 198 18 444 A1 which have lenses with aspherical surfaces at least in the fourth or fifth lens group.
- the aspherical surfaces increased the aperture and the image quality.
- the projection objectives shown have a length extension from the mask plane to the image plane of 1200 mm to 1500 mm. A considerable amount of material is involved with this length. This use of materials involves high manufacturing costs, since only high-quality materials can be used due to the high image quality required.
- Aspherical lenses up to a diameter of approx. 300 mm are required, which makes their provision particularly complex. It is not at all clear among experts whether aspherical lenses with such large lenses Lens diameters can be provided in the required quality.
- Aspherical surfaces are understood to mean all non-spherical surfaces that are rotationally symmetrical. In particular, rotationally symmetrical splines can also be provided as aspherical lens surfaces.
- the invention was based on the object of creating a projection objective which has as few lenses as possible with reduced use of material, with as few as possible small and small aspherical lens surfaces having asphericalities.
- the aim is to provide a short-construction, high-aperture projection lens at low cost.
- the measure of providing at least one lens provided with an aspherical lens surface in a projection lens with a lens arrangement in the front half of this lens arrangement made it possible to provide a compact projection lens which has a high image quality.
- this lens arrangement is divided into six lens groups, a first lens group having a positive refractive power, a second lens group having a negative refractive power, a third lens group having a positive refractive power, a fourth lens group having a negative refractive power and a fifth and sixth lens group each having a positive refractive power preferred position of the aspherical surface at the end of the second lens group. It is arranged in particular on the last lens of the second lens group or at the beginning of the third lens group, specifically preferably on the first lens of the third lens group.
- This aspherical lens surface makes it possible in particular to correct image errors in the area between the image field zone and the image field edge. In particular, the higher-order image errors that become apparent when viewing sagittal sections can be corrected.
- the use of these aspherical surfaces makes it possible to provide a short projection lens with a high image quality.
- Lenses used in microlithography generally have a high material density over their entire extent, so that a considerable saving in material is associated with the reduction in length. Since only very high-quality materials can be used in projection lenses, in particular for microlithography, the use of materials required has a massive influence on the production costs.
- the aspherical surface arranged in front of the first waist can be arranged at the end of the first lens group or at the beginning of the second lens group. Furthermore, it has proven to be advantageous to arrange an aspherical surface arranged after the first waist on the last lens of the second lens group or on the first lens of the third lens group.
- the aspherical surface provided in front of the first waist makes it possible in particular to correct the coma in the region of the image field zone.
- This aspherical lens surface has the oblique spherical aberration in the tangential cut and in Sagittal section has little impact.
- the oblique sagittal aberration especially in the area between the image field zone and the image field edge, can be corrected by the aspherical lens surface after the waist.
- the first lens of the sixth lens group has proven to be the predestined position for this aspherical lens surface.
- aspherical surfaces are provided on long radii, since the manufacture and testing of lens surfaces with long radii is easier. These surfaces are easily accessible for processing devices due to the low curvature. In particular, surfaces with long radii are accessible for tactile measuring methods with Cartesian coordinates.

- the projection exposure system 1 has an illumination device 3 and a projection objective 5.
- the projection objective comprises a lens arrangement 19 with an aperture diaphragm AP, an optical axis 7 being defined by the lens arrangement 19.
- a mask 9 is arranged between the illumination device 3 and the projection lens 5 and is held in the beam path by means of a mask holder 11.
- Such masks 9 used in microlithography have a micrometer to nanometer structure, which is imaged on the image plane 13 by the projection objective 5 down to a factor of 10, in particular by a factor of four.
- a substrate or a wafer 15 positioned by a substrate holder 17 is held.
- the minimum structures that can still be resolved depend on the wavelength ⁇ of the light used for the illumination and on the aperture of the projection lens 5, the maximum achievable resolution of the projection exposure system 1 increasing with decreasing wavelength of the illumination device 3 and with increasing aperture of the projection lens 5.
- the projection objective 5 contains at least one aspherical surface for providing a high resolution.
- lens assemblies 19 are shown in Figures 2-4 and 8-10.
- All lens arrangements 19 have at least one aspherical lens surface 27.
- P is the arrow height as a function of the radius h (height to the optical axis 7) with the aspherical constants to C n given in the tables.
- R is the vertex radius given in the tables.
- the lens arrangement 19 shown in FIG. 2 has 29 lenses and a plane parallel plate, which are denoted by L101-L130.
- This lens arrangement 19 can be subdivided into six lens groups, that with LG1 for the first lens group to LG6 for the sixth Lens group are designated.
- the first, third, fifth and sixth lens groups have positive refractive power
- the second lens group LG2 and the fourth lens group LG4 by which a first waist 23 and a second waist 25 are formed, have negative refractive power.
- the light that is transfected through the lens arrangement spreads out in the form of a spherical wavefront.
- the field of view diagonal is 28 mm.
- the overall length from mask level to lens level is only 1000 mm, and the maximum diameter of a lens is 235 mm.
- this aspherical lens surface 27 is arranged on the side of the lens L1 10 facing away from the illumination device.
- This aspherical lens surface 27 is used to correct image errors and to reduce the required overall length while maintaining the image quality.
- This asphere 27 in particular corrects higher-order image errors in the area between the image zone and the edge of the image field. This correction in particular increases the image quality in the sagittal direction.
- the usual version for 193nm therefore has quartz glass as flint and CaF 2 as crown as lens material for achromatization.
- the one CaF 2 lens L1 14 in the third lens group LG3 places increased demands on the homogeneity of the material, since it is arranged far from the aperture diaphragm AP. Therefore but has a moderate diameter, which significantly improves the availability of CaF 2 with increased requirements.
- three CaF 2 lenses L1 19, L120, L121 have been arranged in front of the aperture diaphragm AP in the fifth lens group LG5.
- An achromat 37 consisting of a convex CaF lens L122 and the subsequent meniscus lens L123 made of quartz glass is arranged directly behind the aperture diaphragm AP. Due to the beam path, these CaF lenses can be of lower quality than the CaF lens L1 14, since quality deviations in the center area can be corrected more easily for all image field areas at the same time (by rotating the lens during adjustment).
- Another CaF lens L129 is arranged in the sixth lens group. With this CaF lens, it is possible to reduce the effects of lens heating and changes in refractive index due to radiation (compaction).
- the individual data for the lenses L101-L130 can be found in Table 1.
- the optically used diameter of all CaF 2 lenses is less than 235 mm. Since the availability of CaF is still limited depending on the required diameter, the required diameter of the CaF 2 lenses used is of central importance.
- This lens arrangement 19 has two aspherical lens surfaces 27, 29.
- the first aspherical lens surface 27 is arranged on the image side on the lens L210. It could also be provided that this second aspherical lens surface 27 be arranged on the side of the lens L211 facing the illuminating device.
- the two lenses L210 and L211 are predestined for receiving the aspherical lens surface 27. It can also be provided to provide a meniscus lens which has an aspherical lens surface instead of the lenses L210 and L211.
- the second aspherical lens surface 29 is arranged in the end region of the first lens group, on the side of the lens L205 facing away from the illumination device 3.
- a particularly great effect is obtained when the aspheres 27, 29 are arranged on lens surfaces, in which the incident rays form a large angle with the respective surface normal. The large variation in the angles of incidence is particularly important.
- the value of sin i on the aspherical lens surface 31 reaches a value of up to 0.82.
- the mutually facing lens surfaces of the lenses L210, L211 have a greater influence on the beam path compared to the respective other lens surface of the corresponding lens L210, L211.
- this lens arrangement With a length of 1000 mm and a maximum lens diameter of 237.3 mm, this lens arrangement has a numerical aperture of 0.75 at a wavelength of 248.38 nm.
- the field of view diagonal is 27.21 mm.
- a structure width of 0.15 ⁇ m can be resolved.
- the largest deviation from the ideal wavefront is 13.0 m ⁇ .
- the exact lens data at which this performance data is achieved can be found in Table 2.
- FIG. 4 A further embodiment of a lens arrangement 19 for the wavelength 248.38 nm is shown in FIG. 4.
- This lens arrangement 19 has three lenses L305, L310, L328, each of which has an aspherical lens surface 27, 29, 31.
- the aspherical lens surfaces 27, 29 have been left in the positions known from FIG. 3.
- the medium-order coma for the image field zone can be set by the aspherical lens surface 27. The effects on cuts in the tangential and sagittal directions are small.
- the additional third aspherical lens surface 31 is arranged on the mask side on the lens L328. This aspherical lens surface 31 supports the coma correction towards the edge of the image field.
- the three lenses L312, L313, L314 in the third lens group LG3 are enlarged in order to keep the diameter of the lenses in LG5 small and to maintain a Petzval sum that is advantageous for the system and should be almost zero.
- the thicknesses of other lenses and thus the diameter, in particular of the lenses of the first group LG1 have been reduced. This is an excellent way to accommodate very large image fields and apertures in a limited installation space.
- FIGS. 5a to 5g indicate the meridional transverse aberration DYM for the image heights Y '(in mm). All show excellent progress up to the highest DW.
- FIGS. 6a-6g indicate the sagittal transverse aberrations DZS for the same image heights as a function of half the aperture angle DW '.
- FIGS. 7a-7f indicate the channel error DYS for the same image-increasing elements, which is almost zero throughout.
- the exact lens data can be found in Table 3, the aspherical lens surfaces 27, 29, 31 having a significant share in the high image quality that can be guaranteed.
- the image field which can be illuminated by means of this lens arrangement has been reduced to 6 x 13 mm with an image field diagonal of 14.3 mm and has been adapted for the Stiching method.
- quartz glass lenses Due to the short wavelength, the absorption of quartz lenses is quite high, so that CaF 2 has increasingly been used as the lens material.
- Individual quartz glass lenses are provided in the region of the waists 23, 25, ie in the second and fourth lens groups LG2 and LG4. These quartz glass lenses should have the highest possible transmission.
- Another lens made of quartz glass in the form of a meniscus lens L625 has been provided in the lens group LG5 to form an achromatic lens.
- the lens L628 having the aspherical lens surface of the lens group LG6 is made of quartz glass. The asphere 33 is thus formed on the easier-to-process material.
- the exemplary embodiments shown show that good performance data can be achieved without aspherical surfaces (27, 29, 31, 33) with large diameters, in particular in the fifth lens group.
- the small aspherical lens surfaces used are easy to manufacture and test.
