Abstract

The invention provides a photoetching image device and method for realizing super-resolution imaging through enhancing an illumination numerical aperture. An exemplary photoetching imaging device can comprise an illumination light beam generating device configured to generate an illuminating light beam, wherein the illuminating light beam has an illuminating field with a numerical aperture (NA) being more than 0. The illuminating light beam is capable of imaging a mask pattern in a photosensitive coating space through a mask and an imaging layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the technical field of nano-lithography processing, and more specifically, relates to a lithography imaging device and a lithography imaging method for realizing high-contrast super-resolution imaging by using a high numerical aperture illumination field. Background technique [0002] With the development of modern optical imaging technology, diffraction phenomenon has become the main obstacle to limit the resolution of imaging optical system. The realization of sub-wavelength optical super-resolution imaging will be of great significance to the development of high-tech fields such as nano-lithography processing and high-resolution microscopic imaging. Super lens (Super lens) imaging technology is a new type of ultra-high resolution optical imaging technology that has attracted more attention in recent years. It originated from the negative refractive index perfect lens (Perfect lens) proposed by Pendry. It...
