چکیده

As optical lithography is pushed to smaller dimensions, methods of resolution enhancement are considered necessary. Illumination modification is getting a good deal of attention, through strong and weak off-axis methods. The shape of an illumination profile does not need to be circular, especially if X/Y feature orientation is considered. This paper describes the improvements in imaging that are possible through use of source shapes that have various degrees of square character. Applications are discussed and interaction with optical proximity correction (OPC), aberration, and other imaging factors are addressed.

Analyzing the Illumination and Resolution in Seismic Survey Designing

Seismic modeling aids the geophysicists to have a better understanding of the subsurface image before the seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation. In this regard, seismic survey modeling is employed to make a model close to the real structure and to obtain very realistic synthetic seismic data. The objective of this study is to analyze the resolution and illumination of the fault by...

Coherent transfer functions and extended depth of field

To preserve the speed advantage of Fourier Domain detection in Optical Coherence Microscopy (OCM), extended depth of field (DOF) is needed. To assess and improve the DOF and the lateral resolution, we analyzed the coherent transfer function (CTF) of OCM. In the spectral domain detection, each wavelength has its own specific CTF, sampling a different part of the object’s spatial frequency spectr...

Projection quality improvement with embedded illumination modulator in projector system.

We demonstrate an approach for improving the image quality for a projector system with a shape-programmable pupil, which could be generated by an illumination modular in which a digital micromirror device is embedded. Essentially, the shaped pupil from the illumination modulator is developed with a dynamically programmable approach to provide aberration compensation for the projection system. B...
