Interactions of 3D mask effects and NA in EUV lithography

JT Neumann, P Gräupner, W Kaiser… - Photomask …, 2012 - spiedigitallibrary.org
With high NA (> 0.33), and the associated higher angles of incidence on the reflective EUV
mask, mask induced effects will significantly impact the overall scanner-performance. We …

Mask effects for high-NA EUV: impact of NA, chief-ray-angle, and reduction ratio

JT Neumann, P Gräupner, W Kaiser… - … (EUV) Lithography IV, 2013 - spiedigitallibrary.org
With higher NA (≫ 0.33) and increased chief-ray-angles, mask effects will significantly
impact the overall scanner performance. We discuss these effects in detail, paying particular …
