Problems solved by technology

[0014] The scattering characteristics of the light diffuser can be measured by the scattering angle of the light diffuser, the transmittance of the light diffuser, the relationship between the scattering angle of the light diffuser and the incident angle, the improvement of the pupil non-uniformity of the lithography projection objective by the light diffuser, etc. The determination of these parameters is very important for the on-line measurement and in-situ measurement of the lithographic projection object image aberration. If these parameters cannot be determined, the projection object image aberration cannot be measured in the lithography equipment. If these parameters are determined to be inaccurate , the measurement of the projected object mirror difference in the lithography equipment is inaccurate

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photolithography, in particular to a device for measuring scattering characteristics of a light diffuser and a method thereof. Background technique [0002] Photolithography is a technology that uses a selected radiation source (such as an ultraviolet light source) to expose a specified position on a substrate (such as a silicon wafer) coated with a radiation-sensitive substance to manufacture a device. [0003] Under the trend of shrinking CD, the key dimension of semiconductor devices, improving the image resolution of the optical system in lithography equipment is the key. In lithography equipment, the optical system includes an illumination system and a lithography projection objective lens. [0004] The wavelength λ of the light source of the illumination system, the numerical aperture NA of the lithography projection objective lens and the process factor K1 are the factors that determine the resolu...
