    Abstract: A method for inspecting a surface of a printing medium, the method comprising the steps of acquiring an image of the surface or a portion thereof, digitizing the acquired image whereby a digitized real representation of the surface or portion is obtained. The method also include the step of for each of said digitized real representation performing either or both of the steps of comparing said digitized real representation with a digital reference representation, said reference representation being a virtual digital fault-free representation of said surface or portion thereof and determining whether said real digitized representation is in compliance with stipulations of a set of rules which define the characteristics of a fault-free digital representation of said surface or portion, and providing either a correct indication output signal where there is a match between said real digitized representation with said reference digital representation in the case of the step of comparing or compliance with said rules in the case of said step of determining, or fault indication output signal where there is a mismatch in the case of the step of comparing or incompliance in the case of the case of determining.

    Abstract: A method of modifying polarity of light is provided. The light propagates through a first transverse plane and has known polarization states in respective cells of the first transverse plane. A first retardation compensator having respective waveplates matching the cells then changes the polarity of the light so that light propagating through a second transverse plane is circularly polarized across the entire second transverse plane. A second retardation compensator includes a plurality of quarter waveplates that change the polarization of the circularly polarized light, so that light passing through a third transverse plane is linearly polarized. The crystal alignment of the quarter waveplates and their shape and configuration are selected so that the direction of the polarization is normal to a radius from a single point.

    Abstract: An optical device having a high reflector tunable stress coating includes a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) platform, a mirror disposed on the MEMS platform, and a multiple layer coating disposed on the mirror. The multiple layer coating includes a layer of silver (Ag), a layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2) deposited on the layer of Ag, a layer of intrinsic silicon (Si) deposited on the layer of SiO2, and a layer of silicon oxynitride (SiOxNy) deposited on the layer of Si. The concentration of nitrogen is increased and/or decreased to tune the stress (e.g., tensile, none, compressive).

    Abstract: Spraying a surface of a reticle with carbon dioxide snow cleans the surface and removes particles. Further spraying the surface of the reticle with carbon dioxide snow at a temperature below a carbon dioxide sublimation temperature forms a solid carbon dioxide layer on the surface. The solid carbon dioxide layer prevents particles from contacting the surface of the reticle. The solid carbon dioxide layer may be removed, and the reticle may be used in a extreme ultraviolet lithography tool.
