Abstract

The invention relates to a wave aberration measuring device and method. An illumination system produces an illumination beam; an object surface small hole comprises at least two object surface small hole marks, the at least two object surface small hole marks are arranged along a first direction, the object surface small hole marks comprise two object surface small hole sub marks, the two object surface small hole sub marks are arranged along a second direction, the first direction is vertical to the second direction, the grating directions of the two object surface small hole sub marks are respectively an X direction and a Y direction, and the illumination beam irradiates the object surface small hole to form a measuring beam; the measuring beam passes through a projection objective lens and then shoots an image surface shear grating so as to form a shear interference pattern; and a two-dimensional array photosensitive element obtains a plurality of shear interference patterns in the two directions through repeatedly changing the relative positions of the object surface small holes and the shear interference pattern, so as to calculate the wave aberration of the projection objective lens. According to the wave aberration measuring device and method, the wave aberration of multi-view-field points can be measured, so that the parallel measurement on the wave aberration of the multi-view-field points of a photoetching device is realized; and the measuring speed is fast, and the real-time performance is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of wave aberration measurement, in particular to a multi-field point wave aberration measurement device and a measurement method for a lithography device. Background technique [0002] One goal of the semiconductor industry is to integrate more electronic components into a single integrated circuit (IC). To achieve this goal, the size of the components must be continuously reduced, that is, the resolution of the lithography projection system must be continuously improved. Objective lens wave aberration is an important factor limiting the resolution of a projection system, and it is an important cause of line width variation. [0003] Although the objective lens has been strictly inspected and optimized during the manufacturing and assembly process to minimize its wave aberration, it is still necessary to perform online wave aberration measurement after the objective lens system is integrated into the lithography mach...
