    摘要: A system of an extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) is disclosed. The system includes an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) mask with three states. A reflection coefficient is r1, r2 and r3, respectively, wherein r3 is close to (r1+r2)/2. The system also includes a nearly on-axis illumination (ONI) with partial coherence a less than 0.3 to expose the EUV mask to produce diffracted light and non-diffracted light, removing most of the non-diffracted light, and collecting and directing the diffracted light and the not removed non-diffracted light by a projection optics box (POB) to expose a target.

    摘要: The present invention provides a cylindrical magnetic levitation stage and an exposure apparatus, which can form a nanoscale pattern of a large area directly on the surface of a large cylinder. The present invention provides an exposure apparatus including a new type of cylindrical magnetic levitation stage, which can levitate, rotate, and move a cylinder in the axial direction by the principle of magnetic levitation in a non-contact manner and form a nanoscale pattern on the surface of the cylinder, and a light source for irradiating light on the surface of the cylinder, thereby reducing the position error of the cylindrical magnetic levitation stage to a nanoscale size and correcting the error caused by mechanical processing in real time. Moreover, the present invention provides an exposure apparatus, which includes a differential vacuum means combined with the cylindrical magnetic levitation stage to create a partial vacuum environment between the light source and the surface of the cylinder, and thus it is possible to employ light sources such as X-rays, electron beams, extreme ultraviolet (EUV) rays, etc.

    摘要: A system for forming a pattern on a part comprises a chamber base, a pressure vessel and a retaining device. The retaining device is positionable between the chamber base and the pressure vessel to secure a deformable mask therebetween. The system further comprises a first pressure source, a second pressure source and a third pressure source. The first pressure source provides a negative pressure within the chamber to draw the mask towards a part installed within the chamber base. The second pressure source provides a positive pressure within the pressure vessel to direct the mask towards the part so that the mask corresponds to at least one complex non-planar surface of the part. The third pressure source provides a negative pressure within pressure vessel. An exposure source exposes the part through the mask while the mask is deformed corresponding to the at least one complex non-planar surface of the part.

    摘要: Various non-planar reflective lithography masks, systems using such lithography masks, and methods are disclosed. An embodiment is a lithography mask comprising a transparent substrate, a reflective material, and a reticle pattern. The transparent substrate comprises a curved surface. The reflective material adjoins the curved surface of the transparent substrate, and an interface between the reflective material and the transparent substrate is a reflective surface. The reticle pattern is on a second surface of the transparent substrate. A reflectivity of the reticle pattern is less than a reflectivity of the reflective material. Methods for forming similar lithography masks and for using similar lithography masks are disclosed.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention relate to methods and apparatus useful in the nanopatterning of large area substrates, where a rotatable mask is used to image a radiation-sensitive material. Typically the rotatable mask comprises a cylinder. The nanopatterning technique makes use of Near-Field photolithography, where the mask used to pattern the substrate is in contact or close proximity with the substrate. The Near-Field photolithography may make use of an elastomeric phase-shifting mask, or may employ surface plasmon technology, where a rotating cylinder surface comprises metal nano holes or nanoparticles.
