Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for removing foreign matter from a glass substrate surface and, in particular, to a method for removing foreign matter from a glass substrate surface which is required to have a high flatness, such as glass substrates to be used for a reflective type mask for EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography in the semiconductor manufacturing process. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for removing foreign matter from a glass substrate surface to be processed by a method accompanied with beam irradiation or laser light irradiation on a glass substrate surface, such as ion beam etching, gas cluster ion beam etching, plasma etching and nano-abrasion by means of laser light irradiation.
- the invention relates to a method comprising removing foreign matter from a glass substrate surface, and then processing the glass substrate surface by a method accompanied with beam irradiation or laser light irradiation on the glass substrate surface, such as ion beam etching, gas cluster ion beam etching, plasma etching and nano-abrasion by means of laser light irradiation.
- an exposure tool for manufacturing an integrated circuit by transferring a fine circuit pattern onto a wafer has hitherto been widely utilized.
- the exposure tool is required to achieve image formation of a circuit pattern on a wafer surface with high resolution and a long focal depth, and shortening of the wavelength of an exposure light source is being advanced.
- the exposure light source is further advancing from conventional g-rays (wavelength: 436 nm) , i-rays (wavelength: 365 nm) and a KrF excimer laser (wavelength: 248 nm) , and an ArF excimer laser (wavelength: 193 nm) is started to be used.
- conventional g-rays wavelength: 436 nm
- i-rays wavelength: 365 nm
- a KrF excimer laser wavelength: 248 nm
- an ArF excimer laser wavelength: 193 nm
- the use of an F 2 laser (wavelength: 157 nm) as an exposure light source is regarded as promising. However, it is considered that even this is able to cover only the generation with a line width of up to 70 nm.
- the EUV light refers to light of a waveband of a soft X-ray region or vacuum ultraviolet region, and specifically means light having a wavelength of from about 0.2 to 100 nm.
- the exposure principle of this EUV lithography (hereinafter abbreviated as ⁇ ⁇ UVL") is identical with the conventional lithography in respect of transferring a mask pattern using a projection optical system.
- ⁇ ⁇ UVL The exposure principle of this EUV lithography
- the mask to be used for EUVL is basically configured of (1) a glass substrate, (2) a reflective multilayer film formed on the glass substrate and (3) an absorber layer formed on the reflective multilayer film.
- the reflective multilayer film one having a structure in which plural materials having a different refractive index against the wavelength of the exposure light are cyclically laminated at a nanometer scale is used, and Mo and Si are known as representative materials.
- Ta and Cr has been investigated as the material for the absorber layer.
- As the glass substrate in order that a strain may not be generated even upon irradiation with EUV light, a material having a low heat expansion coefficient is required, and the use of a glass having a low heat expansion coefficient or a crystallized glass having a low heat expansion coefficient has been investigated. In this specification, the glass having a low heat expansion coefficient and the crystallized glass having a low heat expansion coefficient are collectively called "low expansion glass” or "ultra-low expansion glass”.
- a quartz glass mainly composed of SiO 2 and to which TiO 2 , SnO 2 or ZrO 2 is added as a dopant for the purpose of reducing the heat expansion coefficient of glass is most widely used.
- the glass substrate is manufactured by processing a raw material of such a glass or crystallized glass in high precision and washing it.
- the glass substrate surface is pre-polished at a relatively high processing rate until it comes to have predetermined flatness and surface roughness; foreign matter such as a polishing waste generated by pre-polishing is removed by washing; and the glass substrate surface is then finish-processed by a method with higher processing precision so as to have desired flatness and surface roughness.
- a method accompanied with beam irradiation or laser light irradiation on a glass substrate surface such as ion beam etching, gas cluster ion beam etching, plasma etching and nano-abrasion by means of laser light irradiation, is preferably used.

- the flatness measuring step is performed prior to the processing step.
- the flatness measuring step may be performed after the foreign matter removal step. However, in order to prevent the attachment of a new foreign matter onto the processing surface after the foreign matter removal step, it is preferable that the flatness measuring step is performed prior to the foreign matter removal step.

- the width of the waviness as referred to herein means a length of a concave portion or a convex portion in the convex-concave shape existing cyclically on the processing surface. Accordingly, the width of the waviness is usually 1/2 of a cycle of the width of the waviness. In the case where a plural number of waviness having different cycles exit, the width of the waviness having the smallest cycle is taken as the width of the waviness existing on the processing surface.

In particular, in the case of using a beam having a beam diameter of not more than the width of the waviness, it is necessary to scan the processing surface with the beam. As a method of scanning with a beam, luster scanning and spiral scanning are known, and any of these methods may be used.
