Abstract

The design of high numerical aperture (NA0.55) anamorphic projection objective system is definitely difficult and important for extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL). The imaging performance of the anamorphic EUVL objective designs currently presented in the public literature does not meet the requirements of NA0.55 EUVL tools. In this paper, a NA0.55 anamorphic EUVL projection objective system is designed by optimizing with the high order XY polynomial freeform surfaces. The imaging performance reach the requirements of root mean square (RMS) wavefront error less than 0.84nm. Modulation transform function (MTF) is closer to the diffraction limit.
