Ru/Ta bilayer approach to EUV mask absorbers: Experimental patterning and simulated imaging perspective

Ru/Ta bilayer approach to EUV mask absorbers: Experimental patterning and simulated imaging perspective

The optical properties and geometry of EUV mask absorbers play an essential role in determining the imaging performance of a mask in EUV lithography. Imaging metrics, including Normalized Image Log Slope (NILS), Telecentricity Error (TCE), and Best Focus Variation (BFV) through pitch deteriorate bec...
