EUVR, EUV-SAS
Similar to X-ray reflectometry, the reflectivities of layer stacks are investigated angle- and energy-dependent in the EUV spectral range. Reflectometry is the main method for "At-Wavelength-investigation" of components for EUV lithography at PTB. Besides the development of powerful EUV radiation sources, the production of suitable optical components is a great challenge. There are no materials transparent for EUV radiation. Therefore only mirrors can be used as optical components. By using periodic multilayers as Bragg reflectors, a sufficient degree of reflection can be achieved.
By reconstructing the interference patterns of the reflected radiation, the layer systems can be characterized for layer thickness, roughness and homogeneity.
When investigating periodic nanostructures, the softer radiation in the EUV range can significantly increase the required angles of incidence in the scattering experiment (EUV-SAS). The larger angles make it possible to significantly reduce the measuring spot on the samples.
