Abstract

The capability of a high NA, large working distance, microscope objective was demonstrated by investigating different mask features. The microscope objective is based on a hybrid concept combining diffractive and refractive optical elements. Resolution down to 125 nm lines and spaces (L/S) is demonstrated by investigating periodic chrome on glass structures. A significant additional improvement of the resolution is achieved by inducing a solid immersion lens (SIL).
