A physical model for simulating overlay metrology employing diffraction based overlay(DBO)principles is built.It can help to optimize the metrology wavelength selection in DBO.Simulation result of DBO metrology with a...
In this review,we describe our research on the development of the 13.5 nm coherent microscope using high-order harmonics for the mask inspection of extreme ultraviolet(EUV)lithography.EUV lithography is a game-changin...
We are thankful for the technical support given by Thomas Schoder.This work was supported by the German DFG-funded priority program(SPP1327)on‘Optically generated sub-100 nm structures for technical and bio-medical applications’within the subproject‘Development of a functional sub-100 nm 3D two-photon polymerization technique and optical characterization methods’and the DFG project‘Inverse-source and inverse-diffraction problems in photonics(OS111/32-1).’。
Scatterometry is a well-established,fast and precise optical metrology method used for the characterization of sub-lambda periodic features.The Fourier scatterometry method,by analyzing the Fourier plane,makes it poss...
