“…After repairing or compensating for the mask defects, the aerial image inspection of the mask should be carried out to ensure that the defects have been successfully repaired or compensated. Currently, the existing aerial image detection equipment mainly includes the Aerial Image Measurement System (AIMS) [9] [10] developed by Carl Zeiss and the High Numerical Aperture Actinic Reticle Review Project (SHARP) developed by SEMATECH [11]. Different from EUV lithography, AIMS uses a projection objective system with a magnification greater than 500 to collect enlarged aerial images by a CCD camera [11].…”
