摘要: A detection system (200) includes an illumination system (210), a first optical system (232), a phase modulator (220), a lock-in detector (255), and a function generator (230). The illumination system is configured to transmit an illumination beam (218) along an illumination path. The first optical system is configured to transmit the illumination beam toward a diffraction target (204) on a substrate (202). The first optical system is further configured to transmit a signal beam including diffraction order sub-beams (222, 224, 226) that are diffracted by the diffraction target. The phase modulator is configured to modulate the illumination beam or the signal beam based on a reference signal. The lock-in detector is configured to collect the signal beam and to measure a characteristic of the diffraction target based on the signal beam and the reference signal. The function generator is configured to generate the reference signal for the phase modulator and the lock-in detector.

摘要: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for adjusting illumination slit uniformity in a lithographic apparatus. An example method can include irradiating, by a radiation source, a portion of a finger assembly with radiation. The example method can further include receiving, by a radiation detector, at least a portion of the radiation in response to the irradiating of the portion of the finger assembly. The example method can further include determining, by a processor, a change in a shape of the finger assembly based on the received radiation. The example method can further include generating, by the processor, a control signal configured to modify a position of the finger assembly based on the determined change in the shape of the finger assembly. Subsequently, the example method can include transmitting, by the processor, the control signal to a motion control system coupled to the finger assembly.

摘要: A system includes a radiation source, first and second phased arrays, and a detector. The first and second phased arrays include optical elements, a plurality of ports, waveguides, and phase modulators. The optical elements radiate radiation waves. The waveguides guide radiation from a port of the plurality of ports to the optical elements. Phase modulators adjust phases of the radiation waves. One or both of the first and second phased arrays form a first beam and/or a second beam of radiation directed toward a target structure based on the port coupled to the radiation source. The detector receives radiation scattered by the target structure and generates a measurement signal based on the received radiation.

摘要: An optical element and a lithographic apparatus including the optical element. The optical element includes a first member having a curved optical surface and a heat transfer surface, and a second member that comprises at least one recess, the at least one recess sealed against the heat transfer surface to form at least one closed channel between the first member and the second member to allow fluid to flow therethrough for thermal conditioning of the curved optical surface. In an embodiment, one or more regions of the heat transfer surface exposed to the at least one closed channel are positioned along a curved profile similar to that of the curved optical surface.

摘要: A method includes irradiating a target structure with sequential illumination shots, directing scattered beams from the target structure towards an imaging detector, generating a detection signal using the imaging detector, and determining a property of the target structure based on at least the detection signal. An integration time for each illumination shot of the sequential illumination shots is selected so to reduce a low frequency error.
