Abstract

The designed optical system, which included an illumination optics and an imaging optics, consists of only one grazing-incidence mirror and a two-aspheric-mirror optics with a synchrotron radiation (SR) as a light-source. The illumination optics provides uniform illumination and high-collection efficiency of radiation from the SR. Since there are only four bounces in this system, including the reflective-mask bounce, this optical system has higher throughput. A throughput of 20-30 wafers/hour is predicted with the designed optics. A one- quarter-size prototype of the designed imaging optics was constructed with the numerical aperture of 0.1 and the magnification of 1/5. The efficiency of 60 percent (obtaining dose per estimated one) was obtained with AZ-PN 100 resist in the experiment. A minimum pattern of 0.12-micrometers lines and spaces was printed on a 0.15-micrometers -thick layer of AZ-PN 100 resist.
