Simulation of as-designed and as-built performanceshows excellent agreement for 128 nm L/S
• Modeling assumptions– 128 nm dense L/S– NA = 0.0625– Sigma = 0.60– Flare = 0%– “ As-designed” =
Zernikes computed from optical design code
– “ As-built” = Measured Zernikes
– Thin mask
• Results– Contrast, NILS, and CD
are in excellent agreement
– Image shift that can be removed via system alignment

Summary: optical performance prediction
• Simulations using as-designed Zernikes and as-built Zernikes demonstrate that the imagery shows excellent correlation under the stated simulation assumptions– Predicted as-built image contrast, NILS, CD, and ED
characteristics show excellent correlation to baseline design
• Low-order aberrations induced by mirror fabrication and alignment errors will have little or no impact on RIM tool performance– Zernike based tolerance method and error budgeting
procedure developed specifically for the RIM tool has been validated
