We improved EUV mask imaging performance through phase and amplitude optimization between 0th and 1st diffraction orders. A specific phase difference between the 0th and 1st diffraction orders can reduce the aerial image split and then improve the imaging performance. The optimum phase difference is 27 degrees in the 14 nm HP L/S pattern and 36 degrees in the 12 nm HP L/S pattern. This effect becomes more evident with the amplitude balancing between the two diffraction orders.
