摘要
We report the results of a modeling study of the image formation process in EUVL. Using a rigorous diffraction scheme, we compute the propagation of the mask image in the multilayer stack. The same approach is used to compute the aberrations induced by the multilayer stack on converging beams. We show that in the first case the multilayer stack introduces a change in the mask image that affects the final image projected on the wafer and that in the second case the multilayers introduce a non-negligible amount of spherical aberration in the propagating beam.
