    Abstract: The invention presented is a real time EUV illumination metrology device that includes at least one pair of electrodes mounted on an insulator substrate with an aperture defined by the at least one pair of electrodes and/or the insulator substrate. The electrodes of each of the pairs of electrodes are separated by an arc suppression distance. In one alternate embodiment, the metrology device includes four pairs of electrodes. The device may also include a voltage biasing component to divert unwanted electrons that may distort illumination measurement. Also presented is an EUV illumination system incorporating the metrology device. One object of the invention is to provide a system of real time measurement of an EUV illumination beam.

    Abstract: An extreme ultraviolet (EUM) mask inspection system, comprising a light source to project EUV light along an optical axis, an illumination system to receive the EUV light from the source, the illumination system comprising a spectral purity filter (SPF), the SPF transmits a first portion of the EUV light along the optical axis toward a mask and the SPF comprising a plurality of at least partially reflective elements, said elements reflects a second portion of the EUV light off the optical axis, a projection system adapted to receive the first portion of the EUV light after it has illuminated the mask, a first detector array adapted to receive the image, and a second detector array to receive the second portion of the EUV light. The SPF may comprise one or more multilayer interference-type filters. Alternatively, the SPF comprises a thin film filter disposed on a grazing incidence mirror array.

    Abstract: Photoelectron emission mapping systems for use with EUV (extreme ultraviolet) mask inspection and lithography systems are described. The mapping systems may be used to provide photoelectron emission maps for EUV photolithography masks and/or EUV mirrors. The systems use EUV photoelectron sources used for mask inspection or photolithography to impinge EUV light on the masks and/or mirrors. The EUV light generates photoelectron on the surfaces of the mask and/or mirrors and the photoelectrons are collected and analyzed by detectors placed away from optical spaces of the EUV chamber.
