Abstract

The invention discloses a high-precision method for detecting wave aberration of a system, belonging to the field of optical detection. The method comprises the following steps of: emitting lighting beams by a light source, and generating an ideal spherical wavefront beam through diffraction after entering into a lighting system and a spatial pinhole filter with pinholes; enabling incidence beamsto enter into a detected projection objective, enabling emergent beams with aberration information to generate interference after being diffracted by an optical grating and passing through the spatial filter, acquiring the emergent beams by an image sensor, and carrying out wave surface fitting to obtain an aberration difference; enabling the incidence beams to enter into the detected projection objective through radiating and rotating by 180 DEG to obtain two wavefront measurement results, separating non-rotational symmetry components in system errors by using the characteristic of the Zernike polynomial in a unit circle field, increasing two optical axis exterior point measurements, figuring out the system errors, and subtracting the system errors by a measured value to obtain the actual wave aberration of the detected projection objective. The method for calibrating the system errors of an interferometer in the invention can be used for calibrating the system errors caused by the interferometer and improving the measuring precision of the interferometer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical detection and relates to a high-precision systematic wave aberration detection method. Background technique [0002] The projection objective lens of lithography machine is the core component of the lithography part in the semiconductor manufacturing process. With the development of the semiconductor industry to a smaller line width scale, more and more stringent requirements are put forward for the performance of the lithography projection objective lens. Systematic wave aberration is one of the landmark indicators to evaluate the performance of projection objective lens of lithography machine. Whether the lithography machine can expose a characteristic linewidth of tens of nanometers depends largely on whether the system wave aberration of the projection objective can be controlled within a few nanometers. This requires the development and possession of sub-nanometer-level precision system wave aberratio...
