    Abstract: A novel blazed grating spectral filter disclosed herein includes a multilayer stack of materials that is formed on a wedge-shaped substrate wherein the upper surface of the substrate is oriented at an angle relative the bottom surface of the substrate and wherein the angle corresponds to the blaze angle of the blazed grating filter. Various methods of forming such a filter are also disclosed such as, for example, performing a planarization process in a CMP tool to define the wedge-shaped substrate, thereafter forming the multilayer stack of materials above the upper planarized surface of the substrate and etching recesses into the multilayer stack.

    Abstract: A method of determining a dose-to-clear of a photoresist on a wafer includes providing an image of the wafer after the photoresist was exposed to a dose of energy and was developed, transforming the image of the wafer into frequency spectrum data, calculating an average frequency spectrum component of the frequency spectrum data, calculating a difference between the average frequency spectrum component and a noise average frequency spectrum component of a noise average frequency spectrum, and determining a dose-to-clear of the photoresist based on the difference between the average frequency spectrum component and the noise average frequency spectrum component.

    Abstract: Extreme ultraviolet mirrors and masks used in lithography and methods for manufacturing an extreme ultraviolet mirror or mask. Initial data is obtained that includes materials and optical properties for a first intermixed layer, a second intermixed layer, a first pure layer, and a second pure layer in each of a plurality of periods of a multi-layer stack for an optical element. For multiple thicknesses for the first pure layer and multiple thicknesses for the second pure layer, a reflectivity of the multi-layer stack is determined based on the initial data, a thickness received for the first intermixed layer, and a thickness received for the second intermixed layer. One of the thicknesses for the first pure layer and one of the thicknesses for the second pure layer are selected that maximize the reflectivity of the multi-layer stack.
