EUVL Mask
Technology
Now, field spectrum measurable down to 13 nm node
From the aerial image, CD, contrast…… can be extracted
Reflectivity measurement error (3s) is 0.76(%)
And the resulting CD error is ~ 0.38%

Similar results between CSM and Mask SEM
Reproducibility is superior for CSM (∆CD: CSM < 0.2 nm, SEM < 1 nm)
