摘要
The scalar diffraction theory has been extensively used to calculate 1D and 2D photolithographic aerial images of integrated circuit patterns. In this paper, the vector theory is developed and employed to calculate 1D aerial images by numerically solving the Maxwell's equations to account for the scattering effect from realistic mask structures. Comparisons of results from the scalar and vector theories are made for conventional chrome mask and various phase shifting masks to show the differences of these two theories.
