Effect of alignment errors of reticle on distortion in lithographic projection lens
To meet the requirement of lithographic tool for the distortion in a lithographic projection lens
the distortion of the optical lithography introduced by alignment errors of a reticle was researched. The Legendre polynomials were used to describe the distortion of lithographic projection lens
and then it was taken to analyze and compensate the distortion. Based on the proposed methods
a lithographic projection lens with a Numerical Aperture(NA) of 0.75 and the working wavelength of 193 nm was analyzed. The analysis results show that the combinational tolerances of the reticle tilt error in 1.0μm and the reticle translation error in 0.1 mrad have aroused by uncalibrated distortions of 2113.2 nm and 10.0 nm. The Legendre polynomial was used to fit the distortion to obtain the coefficients of the Legendre polynomial
and then to get the distortion sensitivity of the reticle alignment errors. The distortion sensitivity then was used to perform the tolerance analysis and compensation for the random position errors of the reticle. As the distortion was expected to be less 2 nm
the requirement of the reticle
z
-direction tolerance is ±2.0μm and those of the reticle
x
-tilt and
y
-tilt tolerances are ±22.3μmad and ±55.3μmad
respectively. The results demonstrate that the way proposed is suitable for analyzing and compensating the distortion introduced by reticle alignment errors in lithographic projection lenses.
