Total fight scattering measurements (TS) at 248 nm, 193 nm and 157 nm, atom
ic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray scattering (XRS) are used to characteri
ze optical components for the DUV/VUV and EUV regions. Power spectral densi
ties (PSD) were calculated for comprehensive roughness analysis. Examples o
f measurements on CaF2 substrates and fluoride multilayer coatings for DUV/
VUV applications as well as on Mo films for use in EUV optics are presented
