Abstract:
A microscope system for flexibly, efficiently and quickly inspecting patterns and defects on extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography photomasks. The system includes a stand-alone plasma-based EUV radiation source with an emission spectrum with a freestanding line emission in the spectral range from 12.5 nm to 14.5 nm has a relative bandwidth of λ/Δλ>1000, means for the broadband spectral filtering λ/Δλ
