DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0017] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Note, the following embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention. Multiple features are described in the embodiments, but limitation is not made to an invention that requires all such features, and multiple such features may be combined as appropriate. Furthermore, in the attached drawings, the same reference numerals are given to the same or similar configurations, and redundant description thereof is omitted.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a schematic view illustrating configurations of an exposure apparatus 1 according to an aspect of the present invention. The exposure apparatus 1 is a lithography apparatus used in the manufacturing process of a device such as a semiconductor element. In this embodiment, the exposure apparatus 1 projects the pattern of an original 2 (a reticle or a mask) onto a substrate 4 via a projection optical system 3, and exposes the substrate 4.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 1, the exposure apparatus 1 includes the projection optical system 3 that projects (reduction-projects) a pattern formed on the original 2, and a chuck 5 that holds the substrate 4 on which a base pattern or an alignment mark is formed by a preprocess. The exposure apparatus 1 also includes a substrate stage 6 that holds the chuck 5 and positions the substrate 4 at a predetermined position, an alignment optical system 7 that measures the position of an alignment mark provided on the substrate 4, a control unit CN, and a storage unit SU.

[0020] The control unit CN is formed by, for example, a computer (information processing apparatus) including a CPU, a memory, and the like, and generally controls the units of the exposure apparatus 1 in accordance with a program stored in the storage unit SU or the like. In this embodiment, in addition to controlling exposure processing of exposing the substrate 4 via the original 2, the control unit CN functions as a processing unit configured to obtain an array (a shot array or a region array) of a plurality of shot regions on the substrate (a plurality of regions on the substrate).

[0021] The storage unit SU stores a program and various kinds of information (data) necessary to execute exposure processing of exposing the substrate 4 by controlling the units of the exposure apparatus 1. The storage unit SU also stores a program and various kinds of information (data) necessary for the control unit CN to obtain a shot array.

[0022] FIG. 2 is a schematic view illustrating configurations of the alignment optical system 7. The alignment optical system 7 has a function of optically detecting a mark assigned to each shot region on the substrate 4 and acquiring position measurement data, and, in this embodiment, includes a light source 8, a beam splitter 9, lenses 10 and 13, and a sensor 14.

[0023] Light from the light source 8 is reflected by the beam splitter 9 and illuminates, via the lens 10, an alignment mark 11 or 12 provided on the substrate 4. The light diffracted by the alignment mark 11 or 12 is received by the sensor 14 via the lens 10, the beam splitter 9, and the lens 13.

[0024] Exposure processing by the exposure apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 3. The outline of processes until the substrate 4 is aligned and exposed will be described here. In step S101, the substrate 4 is loaded into the exposure apparatus 1. In step S102, pre-alignment is executed. More specifically, the alignment mark 11 for pre-alignment provided on the substrate 4 is detected by the alignment optical system 7, thereby roughly obtaining the position of the substrate 4. At this time, detection of the alignment mark 11 is performed for a plurality of shot regions on the substrate 4, and the shift and the first-order linear component (magnification or rotation) of the entire substrate 4 are obtained.

[0025] In step S103, fine alignment is executed. More specifically, first, based on the result of pre-alignment, the substrate stage 6 is driven to a position where the alignment mark 12 for fine alignment provided on the substrate 4 can be detected by the alignment optical system 7. Then, the alignment mark 12 provided in each of the plurality of shot regions on the substrate 4 is detected by the alignment optical system 7, thereby accurately obtaining the shift and the first-order linear component (magnification or rotation) of the entire substrate 4. At this time, the high-order deformation component of the substrate 4 can accurately be obtained by obtaining the positions of a number of shot regions. This makes it possible to obtain the accurate position of each shot region on the substrate 4, that is, the shot array.

[0026] In step S104, the substrate 4 is exposed. More specifically, after the fine alignment is executed, the pattern of the original 2 is transferred to each shot region on the substrate 4 via the projection optical system 3. In step S105, the substrate 4 is unloaded from the exposure apparatus 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, if a distortion occurs in the substrate 4, the high-order deformation component is corrected in the fine alignment of step S103. As a regression model used to estimate the shot array, a cubic polynomial model will be described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as the regression model, an arbitrary degree model may be used, or a model (a triangle function model or a logarithmic model) other than a polynomial may be used.

[0028] If the deformation of the substrate 4 is expressed by a cubic polynomial model, the position deviations (ShiftX, ShiftY) of each shot region are represented by equations (1) below. Note that a position deviation of each shot region can also be considered as a correction value used to correct the position deviation.

[00001]$$\begin{gathered} \begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{ShiftX}=k_1+k_{3}x+k_{5}y+k_7{x}^2+k_9\mathrm{xy}+k_{11}{y}^2+k_{13}{x}^3+k_{15}{x}^{2}y+k_{17}{\mathrm{xy}}^2+k_{19}{y}^3 \\ \mathrm{ShiftY}=k_2+k_{4}y+k_{6}x+k_8{y}^2+k_{10}\mathrm{xy}+k_{12}{x}^2+k_{14}{y}^3+k_{16}{\mathrm{xy}}^2+k_{18}{x}^{2}y+k_{20}{x}^3& \left(1\right)\end{array} \end{gathered}$$

where x and y are the positions of a shot region on the substrate 4. Coefficients k.sub.1 to k.sub.20 in equations (1) are decided from the actual position measurement data of each shot region on the substrate 4. Then, the position deviation of each shot region is obtained based on equations (1) in which the coefficients are decided.

[0029] To obtain the position measurement data, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the alignment optical system 7 detects alignment marks 12 assigned to some shot regions, that is, so-called sample shot regions (sample regions) of a plurality of shot regions on the substrate. In FIG. 4, the number of sample shot regions is 14. To correct the high-order deformation component of the substrate 4, a lot of shot regions need to be set to sample shot regions. However, an increase in the number of sample shot regions and the measurement time (alignment time) have a tradeoff relationship. Hence, in fact, the number of sample shot regions is decided in consideration of the productivity of devices.

[0030] Processing of optimizing a regression model used to estimate the shot array on the substrate and obtaining the shot array using the regression model in this embodiment will described below with reference to FIG. 5. Note that it is assumed in this embodiment that, in this processing, optimization of the regression model used to estimate the shot array on the substrate is performed by the control unit CN, but the optimization may be performed in an external information processing apparatus.

[0031] In step S502, a test substrate (first substrate) is used to acquire the first position measurement data. More specifically, the number of sample shot regions for the test substrate is set to a number which does not cause overfitting relative to the degree of freedom of the function model and is sufficient relative to the degree of freedom of the model. Then, the alignment mark assigned to each sample shot region on the test substrate is detected by the alignment optical system 7 to acquire the first position measurement data.

[0032] In step S504, coefficients of the regression model used to estimate the shot array are calculated (first step). More specifically, by using the first position measurement data acquired in step S502 and a regularized regression model, the value of each of a plurality of coefficients included in the regression model used to estimate the shot array, with which the regularized regression model becomes equal to or smaller than a reference value, for example, the regularized regression model is minimized, are calculated. Here, the regularized regression model is a function (objective function) including the regression model used to estimate the shot array and a regularization term for limiting the values of the coefficients of the regression model.

[0033] In step S506, based on the values of the coefficients of the regression model calculated in step S504, the coefficient having a value equal to or larger than a preset threshold value is extracted (selected) from the plurality of coefficients included in the regression model (second step). Note that as the threshold value, the same (common) threshold value may be set for all the coefficients included in the regression model, or a threshold value may be set for each of the plurality of coefficients included in the regression model.

[0034] In step S508, the second position measurement data is acquired using the substrate 4 (second substrate) as a substrate to be actually exposed. More specifically, the number of sample shot regions for the substrate 4 is set to be smaller than the number of sample shot regions set for the test substrate. Then, the alignment mark 12 assigned to each sample shot region on the substrate 4 is detected by the alignment optical system 7 to acquire the second position measurement data.

[0035] In step S510, the shot array (the array of the plurality of shot regions) on the substrate 4 is obtained (third step). More specifically, by using the regression model including only the coefficients extracted in step S506 and the second position measurement data acquired in step S508, the shot array of the substrate 4 (that is, the position deviation of each shot region on the substrate 4) is obtained. Here, the regression model including only the coefficients extracted in step S506 includes only important coefficients (models corresponding thereto) with unnecessary coefficients (models corresponding thereto) removed by regularized regression. Therefore, overfitting can be suppressed even with the small number of the sample shot regions (measurement points) set for the substrate 4.

[0036] As has been described above, according to this embodiment, overfitting can be suppressed and the shot array on the substrate 4 can be obtained with high accuracy while using a small number of measurement points and a function model of a high degree of freedom. Hence, the high-order deformation component can be corrected. Note that in this embodiment, the test substrate is used in step S502, but the substrate 4 as the substrate to be actually exposed may be used in place of the test substrate. In other words, instead of using different substrates in steps S502 and S508, the same substrate (the substrate to be actually exposed) may be used in steps S502 and S508.

[0037] The regularized regression model in this embodiment will be more specifically described below. First, as a comparative example, a general regression model including no regularization term, that is, without regularization, and its problem will be described.

[0038] As a simple example, assume a regression model up to the second order of the substrate coordinates. In order to obtain optimal coefficients (k.sub.1, k.sub.3, k.sub.5, k.sub.7, k.sub.9, k.sub.11) of the regression model, as represented by equations (2) below, the sum of the differences, each of which is the difference between position measurement data Yi and a predicted value Ti from the regression model, at all the data points is calculated. Note that in equations (2), i is an integer between 1 and n, and n is the number of data points:

Σ.sub.i=1.sup.n(Y.sub.i−T.sub.i).sup.2*T.sub.i=k.sub.1+k.sub.3x.sub.i+k.sub.5y.sub.i+k.sub.7x.sub.i.sup.2+k.sub.9x.sub.iy.sub.i+k.sub.11y.sub.i.sup.2  (2)

[0039] Equations (2) are generally called a loss function. Optimization of each coefficient of a general regression model without regularization can be replaced with an optimization problem of minimizing, as an objective function, the loss function including the above-described coefficients k.sub.1 to k.sub.11. However, in such optimization, since the magnitude of the variable is not limited, the coefficient serving as the variable (parameter) becomes infinitely large when minimizing the objective function. As the variable becomes larger, the possibility of overfitting generally increases, and correction errors of unmeasured regions increase.

[0040] To prevent this, this embodiment uses the regularized regression model. More specifically, as represented by equation (3) below, the regularized regression model is obtained by adding a regularization term with a model variable as a function to the loss function as a general regression model without regularization. In equation (3), the regularization term includes the monotonically increasing function of variables.

[00002]$\begin{array}{cc}\underset{\underset{\mathrm{loss}\mathrm{function}}{⎵}}{{.Math.}_{i=1}^n{\left(Y_i-T_i\right)}^2}+\underset{\underset{\mathrm{regularization}\mathrm{term}}{⎵}}{f\left(k_1,k_3,k_5,k_7,k_9,k_{11}\right)}& \left(3\right)\end{array}$

[0041] By providing the regularization term in the objective function as described above, a penalty is given to the larger variable. Thus, it is possible to suppress (prevent) the excessively large variable. In other words, overfitting can be suppressed in the objective function including the loss function and the regularization term.

[0042] An arbitrary monotonically increasing function of variables can be set as the regularization term. This embodiment will be described assuming that the regularization term includes an Lp norm of the variable vector, particularly, an L1 norm with p=1. Note that the regularization term is not limited to an L1 norm with p=1. For example, the regularization term can include the L2 norm with p=2. Further, the regularization term can include an Lp norm with p as an arbitrary number. Equations (4) below represent the Lp norm, the L1 norm, and the L2 norm. In equations (4), D is the number of variables to be used, and k is the value of each variable.

Lp norm: ∥k∥.sub.p=(Σ.sub.d=1.sup.D|k.sub.d|.sup.p).sup.1/p

L1 norm: ∥k∥.sub.1=(Σ.sub.d=1.sup.D|k.sub.d|)

L2 norm: ∥K∥.sub.2=(Σ.sub.d=1.sup.D(k.sub.d).sup.2).sup.1/2  (4)

[0043] The variable regularization effect depends on the type of norm. For the L1 norm, due to its nature, unnecessary coefficients tend to drop to zero, but the coefficients tend to be sparse.

[0044] With reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B, the reason why the L1 norm tends to give a sparse result will be explained in comparison with the L2 norm. The L1 norm uses the sum of the absolute values of the coefficients of the model as a penalty. The L2 norm uses the sum of the squares of the coefficients of the model as a penalty. Both the L1 norm and the L2 norm are regularized regression models in which the penalty is smaller as the coefficient is smaller. However, the problem of minimizing the objective function including the norm is replaced with the problem of searching for a solution that minimizes the loss function within the range defined by the norm. Since the defined range is different between the L1 norm and the L2 norm, the optimal solution is also different between the L1 norm and the L2 norm. As shown in FIG. 6B, in the L2 norm, the range defined for each model variable (two variables) has a circular shape. Hence, the optimum solution within this range tends to be the result obtained by proportional reduction of the optical solution in a case of using no regularization term (using only the loss function). On the other hand, in the L1 norm, as shown in FIG. 6A, the range defined for each model variable has a shape with edges. Hence, the optimum solution tends to have one coefficient of 0. Therefore, by using the objective function including the regression model and the L1 norm serving as the regularization term, it is possible to efficiently thin out unnecessary coefficients. Note that in FIGS. 6A and 6B, w1 and w2 correspond to the coefficients (for example, k.sub.1 and k.sub.3) included in the regression model.

[0045] With reference to FIGS. 7A and 7B, the effect of the regularized regression model including the L1 norm will be described. FIG. 7A shows the relationship between the number of measurement points and the correction errors (correction residuals) of unmeasured regions in a case of using all assumed coefficients (models corresponding thereto) of the regression model. FIG. 7B shows the relationship between the number of measurement points and the correction errors (correction residuals) of unmeasured regions in a case of extracting, using an L1 norm as the regularization term, the coefficients of the regression model (this embodiment).

[0046] In the case of using all assumed coefficients of the regression model, as shown in FIG. 7A, as the number of measurement points decreases, overfitting starts from a certain number, and the correction errors sharply increase. On the other hand, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7B, even if the number of measurement points decreases, the increase in correction errors is within a gradual change. This is because unnecessary coefficients (models corresponding thereto) are removed by regularized regression and only important coefficients are extracted, so that overfitting is suppressed even with the small number of measurement points.

[0047] In this embodiment, the example has been described in which the L1 norm is used as the regularization term, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an Lp norm or a linear combination of Lp norms may be used as the regularization term.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 8, processing of obtaining a shot array by using an objective function including a regression model and a regularization term, that is, by using a regularized regression model without optimizing the regression model used to estimate the shot array on the substrate also constitutes one aspect of the present invention. In this case, in step S802, position measurement data is acquired using the substrate 4 as the substrate to be actually exposed. More specifically, the number of sample shot regions for the substrate 4 is set to be a relatively small number. Then, the alignment mark 12 assigned to each sample shot region on the substrate 4 is detected by the alignment optical system 7 to acquire position measurement data. In step S804, the shot array is obtained by applying the position measurement data acquired in step S802 to the regularized regression model, and calculating the value of each of a plurality of coefficients included in the regression model, with which the regularized regression model become equal to or smaller than a reference value, for example, the regularized regression model is minimized. In this manner, even in a case in which the regression model is not optimized, by including the regularization term, unnecessary coefficients (models corresponding thereto) can be made small. Accordingly, overfitting can be suppressed even with a small number of measurement points.
