Title: Mask inspection microscopy with 13.2 nm table-top laser illumination

Journal Article · · Optics Letters
OSTI ID:941543

We report the demonstration of a reflection microscope that operates at 13.2-nm wavelength with a spatial resolution of 55 {+-} 3 nm. The microscope uses illumination from a table-top EUV laser to acquire aerial images of photolithography masks with a 20 second exposure time. The modulation transfer function of the optical system was characterized.
