摘要
Reflective gratings on a sphere are used instead of aspheric mirrors in soft X-ray projection lithography. In doing so, typical three-mirror optics are converted into reflective grating optics. Ray tracing through the new grating optics shows a resolution of better than 0.1 mum, which is comparable to that of aspheric mirror optics. Although there are problems with chromatic aberration and diffraction efficiency, this approach relaxes the stringent accuracy requirements of aspheric mirror optics for soft X-ray projection lithography.
