(author)The present research is part of an effort to develop tools that make the lens design process more systematic. In typical optical design tasks, the presence of many local minima in the optical merit function landscape makes design non-trivial. With the method of Saddle Point Construction (SPC) which was developed recently ([F. Bociort and M. van...conference paper 2014

(author)We report on our investigation of dry cleaning of reticles with a microwave induced hydrogen plasma on dummy reticles. The dummy reticles were manufactured with 70 nm ALD grown TaN on a Ru surface and test structures were patterned with lines and spaces ranging between 250 and 400 nm. After processing the test structures were contaminated with e...conference paper 2014

Crowcombe, W.E. (author), Hollemans, C.L. (author), Fritz, E.C. (author), van der Donck, J.C.J. (author), Koster, N.B. (author)Particle free handling of EUV reticles is a major concern in industry. For reaching economically feasible yield levels, it is reported that Particle-per-Reticle-Pass (PRP) levels should be better than 0.0001 for particles larger than 18 nm. Such cleanliness levels are yet to be reported for current reticle handling systems. A reticle handler was...conference paper 2014

A number of self-management applications have already been developed, but an explicit theoretical model is lacking. The PERISCOPE-project aims to provide (1) a conceptual framework for self-management systems aimed at...conference paper 2010

(author)A method for actinic inspection of EUV mask blanks is described, in which EUV photoresist is applied to the blank, flood exposed with EUV, and developed. The effect of both phase and reflectivity defects on the reticle is described in terms of a variation in intensity and phase of the standing wave in the resist. Thin film simulations are...conference paper 2010
