The development of EUV lithography is critically based on the availability of suitable metrology equipment. To meet industry's requirements, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) operates an EUV reflectometry facility at the electron storage ring BESSY II. It is designed for at-wavelength metrology of full-sized EUVL optics with a maximum weight of 50 kg and a linear dimension of up to 1 m. With the development of EUV lithography tools, the requirements for lower measurement uncertainty are steadily increasing. For small test samples at near normal incidence, a total uncertainty of 0.10 % for peak reflectance is achieved with a reproducibility of 0.05 % and the uncertainty in the center wavelength of 2 pm is mainly given by the uncertainty for the reference wavelength of the Kr 3d5/2-5p resonance. For real optical elements like PO-box mirrors and collectors for EUV pulsed plasma sources it is also essential to measure at the exact location on the mirror because of gradients in the layer thickness and also to measure at the correct local angle of incidence (LAOI) which may deviate significantly from normal. Thus alignment becomes critical for achieving low measurement uncertainties. Here we present PTB's experience in measuring large EUV optical components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
