Abstract

This paper describes a new variation of the differential deposition/differential erosion technique for mid-frequency surface-height error correction. In our approach, the technique is extended to two dimensions in order to correct surfaceheight errors in thin-shell cylindrical mirror segments with high throughput. We describe the new infrastructure currently being developed to realize this technique, including an LTP system for surface metrology of mid-frequency surfaceheight errors, a new UHV linear stage for precise substrate motion during deposition or erosion, and most crucially, the development of electronically-actuated aperture arrays that are mounted in front of a rectangular magnetron cathode, or a rectangular ion source, in order to modulate the deposition/erosion rate of material in two dimensions, in real-time.
