Interferometric Metrology of Photomask Blanks: Approaches Using 633 nm Wavelength Illumination

Published

Author(s)

Abstract

Preliminary analyses of three optical configurations for measurement of photomask blanks are described. A simple variant of the well known Ritchey-Common test should allow front surface, as-chucked flatness to be measured using current, commercially available phase measuring interferometers. Taking advantage of particular features of a special purpose interferometer installed at NIST, additional information may be obtained.
