  4. Better optics / Better angular resolution is possible Resolution is set by design compromises • Telescope size • Detector-pixel size • Fabrication limits • Collection efficiency • etc. However, thanks to the semiconductor industry,technology for much higher quality lenses is now available in the EUV. So, what does the semiconductor industry want with EUV lenses?

HSFR ≤ 1–2 Åhigh spatial-freq. The specs are several times tighter, and achievable

  11. Numerous factors contribute to the wavefront

Pushing visible-light interferometry Livermore scientists developed the PSDI or Sommargren Interferometer Single Mirror • Two beams are launched into a fiber with a time delay. • A pinhole in a mirror creates the test and reference beams. Complete System • One fiber + pinhole at each conjugate. G. Sommargren, J. Taylor, M. Johnson,D. Phillion,H. Chapman, A. Barty, et al. (LLNL) (SPIE 5869–28,30)

  25. The keys to achieving ultra-high accuracy 1) Innovative calibration methods (null tests) 2) New interferogram analysis techniques for minimizing phase-measurement errors 3) High-quality “reference” pinholes (Nanowriter) We isolate and measure geometric & systematic errorsources so they can be subtracted.

  33. Conclusions • High-quality EUV optics are available nowlargely due to the development of EUV lithography slope errors: < 1 µrad roughness: ≤ 1–2 Å micro-roughness: ≤ 1–2 Å • Ultra-high accuracy interferometry is required for fabrication and alignment: visible (LLNL) and EUV (LBNL). • We have extended our EUV measurement techniques to 0.3 NA, ƒ/1.67 – Achieved Wavefront quality of 0.55 nm (/24.5). – Demonstrated interferometer accuracy of 1 Å, and below.
