While stochastic defects link yield with the practical resolution of EUV lithography resulting from its quantum nature [1], very low yields of EUV processes are more readily linked to the use of EUV masks without pellicles. Pellicles are thin film membrane covers on masks (regardless of wavelength: EUV and DUV and i-line) used… Read More
