Gj. Chen et al., APPLICATIONS OF FACETED MIRRORS TO X-RAY-LITHOGRAPHY BEAMLINES, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 347(1-3), 1994, pp. 238-243
We report the implementation of a generic faceted-mirror simulation ut
ility in SHADOW. This extension is suitable for the design of mirror a
rrays such as those for synchrotron-radiation-based full-field X-ray l
ithography illuminators. As a demonstration, we propose in this paper
a practical two-mirror design that can create a uniform 55 mm X 50 mm
illumination region at the X-ray mask plane. We also discuss the effec
t of multiple mirrors on the partial coherence of the system, and its
effect on image formation.
