【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、反射防止膜及びそれを施した光学系に関し、特に蛍石や石英等の光学素子基板の表面に所定の屈折率層を複数積層し、例えばArFエキシマレーザーから放射される波長193nm、及びその近傍の紫外光領域の反射防止を行った、半導体デバイス製造用の各種の光学系に適用したときに有効なものである。
【0002】

波長193nm近傍の紫外光用の反射防止膜として特開平7−218701号公報で提案されているAl23 膜とSiO2 膜を用いた反射防止膜は反射防止帯域幅(波長幅)が比較的狭い傾向があった。
【0005】
一般に反射防止帯域幅が狭いと製造上の膜厚制御の誤差により、対象とする波長幅が変動してきたりする。又レンズ等の曲面に反射防止膜を形成した場合、光の入射角の違いにより反射率、透過率等の光学特性が大きく変動してくる場合があった。
【0006】
特開平7−244205号公報や特開平7−244217号公報で提案されているフッ化物膜を用いた反射防止膜は対象とする波長域において反射率を0.2%以下という低反射率にすることが難しく、又フッ化物膜の耐環境性が酸化物(Al23 ,SiO2 )に比べて劣るという問題点があった。
【0007】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an antireflection film and an optical system provided with the antireflection film, and in particular, a plurality of predetermined refractive index layers are laminated on the surface of an optical element substrate such as fluorite and quartz, and a wavelength of 193 nm emitted from, for example, an ArF excimer laser, In addition, it is effective when applied to various optical systems for manufacturing semiconductor devices, in which the reflection of the ultraviolet light region in the vicinity thereof is prevented.

An antireflection film using an Al 2 O 3 film and an SiO 2 film proposed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-218701 as an antireflection film for ultraviolet light in the vicinity of a wavelength of 193 nm has a comparison in antireflection bandwidth (wavelength width). There was a narrow tendency.

In general, when the antireflection bandwidth is narrow, the target wavelength width may fluctuate due to an error in film thickness control in manufacturing. In addition, when an antireflection film is formed on a curved surface of a lens or the like, optical characteristics such as reflectance and transmittance may fluctuate greatly due to differences in the incident angle of light.
[0006]
The antireflection film using a fluoride film proposed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 7-244205 and 7-244217 has a low reflectivity of 0.2% or less in the target wavelength range. In addition, the environmental resistance of the fluoride film is inferior to that of oxides (Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 ).
[0007]
In the present invention, a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer are laminated with an appropriate optical film thickness on a transparent substrate having a predetermined refractive index, thereby achieving good antireflection in the ultraviolet region near a wavelength of 193 nm. An object is to provide an antireflection film excellent in environmental resistance and an optical system provided with the same.

【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer are laminated with an appropriate optical film thickness on a transparent substrate having a predetermined refractive index, so that it is favorable in the ultraviolet region near a wavelength of 193 nm. It is possible to achieve an antireflection film excellent in environmental resistance that has undergone antireflection and an optical system provided with the antireflection film.
