摘要：
193 nm inspection for various defect types on top of the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) mask is studied. The antireflection coating (ARC) is tried to enhance the defect inspection. However, adding ARC is not helpful to increase the sensitivity. Thus, 2 nm TaBO generally used for preventing the oxidation is mainly used. The aerial image deformation caused by the defect is compared to that of the defect free mask. Peak intensity difference is quantized and the sensitivity that is comparable to the ITRS defect inspection limit is chosen. The inspection criterion for typical defect types of extrusion, intrusion, pindot and pinhole is compared.
