EUV Radiometry

Working Group 7.12

Profile

Proben und Detektormechanik vom Ellipsometer

The working group EUV-Radiometry develops metrology for the characterization of optical components and radiation detectors and the measurement of material properties of materials in the spectral range from 1 nm to 40 nm. The investigations cover optical components for the semiconductor lithography in the EUV spectral range and the development of EUV scattering methods for the characterization of nano-structured surfaces. The group uses two monochromator beamlines at the storage rings BESSY II and MLS. It operates a large EUV reflectometer for large optical components like EUV collector mirrors for plasma sources and an EUV Ellipso-Scatterometer (see picture) for the measurement of reflection and scattering under arbitrary polarization conditions.
