摘要:
A lithography system includes a source of radiation energy and a zone plate array to focus the radiation energy to create an array of images in order to produce a permanent pattern on a substrate. A phase-shift mask is optically located between the source of radiation energy and the zone plate array. The modulated wavefront produced by the phase-shift mask alters the field diffracted by the zone plate array, and the center lobe of the point-spread function narrows as a result.
