Aberration-induced intensity imbalance of alternating phase-shifting mask in lithographic imaging

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We discuss the aberration-induced intensity imbalance of alternating phase-shifting mask (Alt-PSM) in lithographic imaging, in contrast to numerous studies on mask-induced intensity imbalance. Based on the Hopkins theory of partial coherent imaging, a linear relationship between the intensity difference of adjacent peaks in an Alt-PSM image and even aberration is established by formulations and verified by numerical results. The application of the linear relationship is briefly discussed.
