Double Diffraction in EUV Masks: Seeing Through The Illusion of Symmetry

Double Diffraction in EUV Masks: Seeing Through The Illusion of Symmetry
by Fred Chen on 05-22-2022 at 7:00 am

Double Diffraction in EUV Masks

At this year’s SPIE Advanced Lithography conference, changes to EUV masks were particularly highlighted, as a better understanding of their behavior is becoming clear. It’s now confirmed that a seemingly symmetric EUV mask absorber pattern does not produce a symmetric image at the wafer, as a conventional DUV … Read More
