Abstract
Overcoming the challenges associated with photomask defectivity is one of the key aspects associated with EUV mask infrastructure. In addition to establishing specific EUV mask repair approaches, the ability to identify printable mask defects that require repair as well as to verify if a repair was successful are absolutely necessary. Such verification can only be performed by studying the repaired region using actinic light at an exact emulation of the scanner illumination conditions of the mask as can be done by the AIMSTM EUV. ZEISS, in collaboration with the SEMATECH EUVL Mask Infrastructure (EMI) consortium are currently developing the AIMSTM EUV system and have recently achieved First Light on the prototype system, a major achievement. First light results will be presented in addition to the current development status of the system.
