With the coming adoption of EUV phase shift absorbers in high-volume manufacturing, it soon will be critical to ensure phase uniformity across the mask and stability over time. Synchrotron-based EUV variable angle spectroscopic reflectometry has been demonstrated to be a highly sensitive metrology technique for the measurement of phase. More recently, this phase measurement technique has been successfully implemented as a fab-scale tool based on a laser produced plasma source. The metrology enabled by this tool supports the continual monitoring of phase stability in a manufacturing environment, which can provide invaluable knowledge about best practices for mitigating or reversing phase drift resulting from effects such as contamination and mask aging. In this presentation we report on such phase drift measurements on real EUV masks looking at various sources of phase change on the mask.
