Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to extend the Fourier optic imaging equations to the case of immersion lithography. Specifically, the paper will derive the equation describing the complex amplitude at the wafer plane for both the immersion case and the non immersion case. By comparing the two equations, a parameter transformation will be explicitly derived that allows the equation for the non immersion case to describe the immersion case. With these transformations, lithography simulators such as SOLID-C can be used to accurately model immersion lithography.
