Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit photolithography in semiconductor science, in particular to an extreme ultraviolet (extreme ultra-violet, EUV) photolithography mask defect detection system. Background technique
[0002] Since the 1970s, the semiconductor industry has continuously reduced the graphic size of integrated circuits according to Moore's Law, making the number of transistors on the central processing unit (CPU) in computers double every two years. Extreme ultraviolet lithography is aimed at the 22nm node as the next generation of advanced lithography technology, opening up a new path of faster speed, smaller size and cheaper price for the semiconductor industry. However, through the difficult progress of EUV lithography technology, we can realize that the development of lithography technology is not just a lithography machine. The mutual cooperation and optimization of other links, such as the need for suita...
