摘要:
An X-ray reduction exposure apparatus which provides a preferable image forming system in an entire mask surface area of a reflection type mask, can reduce curvature of the field and astigmatism of the transfer image even in scan exposure and, therefore, can obtain high transfer precision, and the apparatus contributes to the manufacture of a semiconductor element having high reliability. The X-ray reduction exposure apparatus has, as a characteristic feature, a drive mechanism for driving a mask scan stage substantially along the curvature surface of the mask. This drive mechanism is constituted by a main drive section (linear motor or the like) linearly driven in a direction corresponding to the moving direction of a mask scan stage and a sub-drive section (actuator or the like) driven perpendicularly to the drive direction, otherwise, constituted by a main drive section and a guide having a shape which is the same as the curvature surface shape of the mask.

A deflection mirror is disposed before an X-ray mask so as to reflect an X-ray beam and to project it to the X-ray mask. The X-ray mask is disposed opposed to a wafer with a distance D therebetween, and the X-ray beam reflected by the X-ray mask is projected onto the wafer through a reduction projection optical system. The deflecting mirror is disposed, in an example, at a position satisfying a relation D>L>d/(tan .delta.1+tan .delta.2) where L is the distance from the X-ray mask to an edge of the deflection mirror closer to the path of the X-ray beam reflected by the X-ray mask, d is the width of irradiation of the X-ray beam upon the X-ray mask, and .delta.1 and .delta.2 are incidence angles of the X-ray beam at upper and lower edges of the irradiation width d, respectively, upon the X-ray mask. This assures a compact structure wherein, even when a wafer of a large diameter is used, illumination light to the mask is not intercepted.

An X-ray projection exposure apparatus includes a mask chuck, a wafer chuck, an X-ray illuminating system, and an X-ray projection system. The masks chuck holds a reflection X-ray mask having a mask pattern thereon. The wafer chuck holds a wafer onto which the mask pattern is transferred. The X-ray illuminating system illuminates the reflection X-ray mask, held by the mask chuck, with X-rays. The X-ray projection optical system projects the mask pattern of the reflection X-ray mask onto the wafer held by the wafer chuck with a predetermined magnification. The mask chuck includes a mechanism for generating static electricity for attracting and holding the reflection X-ray mask by an electrostatic force. The invention also includes a device manufacturing method using such an X-ray projection exposure apparatus to transfer a mask pattern onto the wafer using the X-ray projection exposure apparatus.
摘要:
A reflection type X-ray mask structure includes an X-ray absorptive material pattern, an X-ray reflective multilayered film for reflecting X-rays, and a supporting substrate for supporting the X-ray reflective multilayered film, wherein an X-ray reflectivity of a portion other than a pattern region is lower than that of the pattern region. With this reflection type X-ray mask structure, step-and-repeat exposure or step-and-scan exposure with a semiconductor exposure apparatus does not cause undesirable multiple exposure at a boundary portion between juxtaposed exposure regions on a wafer.
