摘要:
An aerial image measuring apparatus includes an extreme ultra-violet (EUV) light generation unit configured to generate EUV light, a moving unit configured to mount an EUV mask and to move the EUV mask in x and y axis directions, a primary reduction optics configured to primarily reduce a divergence of the EUV light generated by the EUV light generation unit, a secondary reduction optics configured to secondarily reduce the divergence of the primarily reduced EUV light, and a detection unit configured to sense energy information from the secondarily reduced EUV light reflected from the plurality of regions on the EUV mask, the secondarily reduced EUV light being incident on and reflected from a plurality of regions on the EUV mask.
摘要:
Provided are a photomask and a method of correcting errors thereof. The photomask includes a multilayer reflection film covering one side surface of a substrate and an energy receiving layer covering the other side surface of the substrate. The method includes determining a local correction position on a frontside surface of the photomask according to a detected error of the photomask, and locally applying an energy beam to a backside surface region of the photomask aligned with the local correction position in a thickness direction of the photomask. The invention may be applicable to structures other than photomasks that benefit from modification of surface heights or selectively applied stress.
摘要:
An apparatus for measuring an image of a pattern to be formed on a semiconductor by scanning the pattern using a scanner, the apparatus including an EUV mask including the pattern, a zoneplate lens on a first side of the EUV mask and adapted to focus EUV light on a portion of the EUV mask at a same angle as an angle at which the scanner will be disposed with respect to a normal line of the EUV mask, and a detector arranged on another side of the EUV mask and adapted to sense energy of the EUV light from the EUV mask, wherein NAzoneplate=NAscanner/n and NAdetector=NAscanner/n*σ, where NAzoneplate denotes a NA of the zoneplate lens, NAdetector denotes a NA of the detector, and NAscanner denotes a NA of the scanner, σ denotes an off-axis degree of the scanner, and n denotes a reduction magnification of the scanner.
