We report a progress in the aspherization of precision optical surface by deposition of graded-thickness films onto spherical substrate. As a deposition film, we examined single layer and multilayer film. Mo/Si multilayer had small stress and small surface roughness up to the total film thickness of 1 u m, and is suitable for the thin film to fabricate mirrors in the EUVL camera. We demonstrate an aspherical mirror fabrication using mask deposition technique. The result shows good agreement between the measured and desired thickness profiles.
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.
