Abstract

The EUV mask infrastructure is of key importance for a successful introduction of EUV lithography into volume production. In particular, for the production of defect free masks an actinic review of potential defect sites is required. With such a review it can be decided if a defect needs to be repaired or compensated. It also serves as verification whether the respective absorber or compensational repair with e.g. the MeRiT® tool has been successful, i.e. it closes the control loop in mask repair. To realize such an actinic review tool, Carl Zeiss and the SEMATECH EUVL Mask Infrastructure consortium started a development programme for an EUV aerial image metrology system (AIMS™ EUV). In this paper, we discuss the application of the AIMS™ EUV in the compensational repair process of multilayer and blank defects and present the status of the AIMS™ EUV project.
