    摘要: An electromagnetic radiation diffuser, operative at extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavelengths, is fabricated on a substrate. The diffuser comprises a randomized structure having a peak and valley profile over which a highly reflective coating is formed. The reflective coating substantially takes the form of the peak and valley profile beneath it. An absorptive grating can be fabricated over the reflective coating. The grating spaces will diffusely reflect electromagnetic radiation because of the profile of the randomized structure beneath. The absorptive grating will absorb the electromagnetic radiation. The grating thus becomes a specialized Ronchi ruling that may be used for wavefront evaluation and other optical diagnostics in extremely short wavelength reflective lithography systems, such as EUV lithography systems.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an illumination system including an illumination source, a beam conditioner placed in an optical path with the illumination source, a first diffractive array, a condenser system and a second diffractive array. The illumination source directs light through the beam conditioner onto the first diffractive array. The light is then directed to the condenser system placed in an optical path between the first diffractive array and second diffractive array. The condenser system includes a plurality of stationary optical elements and a plurality of movable optical elements. The plurality of movable optical elements are placed in an optical path with the plurality of stationary optical elements. The movable optical elements are capable of translation between the plurality of stationary optical element to zoom the light received from the first diffractive array. The second diffractive array is optically coupled to the condenser system, receives light from the condenser system, which in turn generates an illumination field at a reticle.

    摘要: A system and method are used to increase alignment accuracy of feature patterns through detection of alignment patterns on both a surface layer and at least one below surface layers of an object. Visible light is used to detect alignment patterns on the surface layer and infrared light is used to detect patterns one layers below the surface. For example, reflected visible light and transmitted infrared light are co-focused onto detector after impinging on respective alignment patterns. The co-focused light is then used to determine proper alignment of the object for subsequent pattern features. This substantially increases accuracy of alignment of pattern features between layers, as compared to conventional systems.
