    摘要: An optical system of a NX reduction catadioptric relay lens having sub-half micron resolution over the ultraviolet band width is described. A spherical mirror with a stop at the mirror is used to work at substantially the desired reduction ratio and the desired high numerical aperture sufficient to provide the desired high resolution. A beam splitting cube with appropriate coatings is used to form an accessible image of an object on an image plane. Refracting correctors in the path of the slow beam incident on the mirror and in the path of the fast beam reflected on the mirror are designed to fix the aberrations of the image formed by the mirror. The beam splitter coatings are chosen in such a way that beams reflected from and transmitted therethrough suffer no net aberration as a result of multiple reflections within the thin film beam splitter coatings and therefore are substantially free of aberration, distortion and apodization which would result from the beam splitting surface in the absence of these coatings.

    摘要: An optical system having a substantially flat image field is disclosed. The optical system is formed from optical subsystems wherein an input optical subsystem forms an intermediate image has a curvature which compensates that from the remaining optical components of the system to result in a substantially flat image for the optical system. Preferably the optical elements preceding the intermediate image and the optical elements succeeding the intermediate image are separately corrected for odd aberrations. The optical elements preceding the intermediate image and the optical elements succeeding the intermediate image compensate for each other and result in a substantially aberration free flat image for the optical system. The optical system preferably contains an input optical subsystem and an output optical subsystem wherein the input optical subsystem is a catadioptric system and wherein the output optical system is a dioptric system. Most preferably the input optical system is a 1X catadioptric system and the output optical system is an NX dioptric system. The optical systems of the present invention are used for subquarter micron photolithography tools for microelectronic fabrication, such as scanners and steppers.

    摘要: A lens system for a laser scanning apparatus which incorporates two transfer lenses in tandem. The transfer lenses include angular reflecting mirrors, correction lenses, and concave mirrors. The transfer lenses are located between the projection mask and the target of the scanning apparatus wherein the laser beam passed through the projection mask is reflected by an angularly disposed mirror through the first correction lens onto the first concave mirror where it is reflected back through the first correction lens and onto another angularly disposed mirror where the beam is sent to and back from the second concave mirror through the second correction lens and then onto the target.

    摘要: An alignment system is described for lithographic proximity printing apparatus wherein the wafer and lithographic mask are each individually aligned with a third element. An alignment mask carries an alignment pattern corresponding to an alignment mark on the microcircuit wafer and also carries an alignment pattern corresponding to an alignment mark on the proximity printing mask. In one embodiment, the alignment mask is illuminated from the back side by alignment radiation (which need not be visible light) and the alignment patterns carried by the alignment mask are imaged onto the corresponding wafer and proximity printing mask alignment marks. Since the projected alignment patterns are spatially separated at the alignment mask one of the alignment patterns is conveniently shifted in effective optical position to compensate for the difference in axial position of the wafer and printing mask alignment marks. When a projected alignment pattern image correlates with (i.e., overlays) the corresponding alignment mark, reflected or scattered light leaving the alignment mark is either at a maximum or at a minimum (i.e., an extremum) depending upon the system configuration. A light splitter deflects some of the light coming from each of the alignment marks to individual light intensity monitors, such as photomultipliers. Alignment of the wafer and printing mask has been achieved when both intensity monitors reach the correct extremum simultaneously (or reach the midpoint of the correct extremum if the extremum is not sharp).
