Abstract

Polarization dependent diffraction efficiencies in transmission through gratings on specially designed masks with pitch comparable to the wavelength were measured using an angle-resolved scatterometry apparatus with a 193 nm excimer source. Four masks - two binary, one alternating and one attenuated phase shift mask - were included in the experimental measurements. The validity of models used in present commercially available simulation packages and additional polarization effects were evaluated against the experimental scattering efficiencies.
