    摘要: Methods for determining a quality of a light source applied to a photolithographic process are provided. An image sensor array is exposed to a light from a light source. Addresses and respective intensities corresponding to a plurality of locations on a pupil map representing intensity of the light from on the image sensor array. At least one of an inner curve and an outer curve of the pupil map is defined based upon the collected addresses and respective intensities. The light source is applied to a photolithographic process if the addresses have a predetermined pattern relative to the at least one of the inner curve and the outer curve.
