Abstract

Modified illumination techniques have been used to enhance the resolution of the sub-wavelength lithography. But, since they shield the central part of incident light, the light efficiency is seriously degraded, which in turn reduces the throughput of a lithography process. In this research, we introduced an annular illumination structure that enhances the light efficiency with a concentric circular grating at the backside of a photomask. The efficiency of the structure was theoretically analyzed.
