  • Abstract
    For the 130 nm generation, the Phase Shift Mask (PSM) is expected to be widely used. Moreover, demand for higher transmission PSM is increasing and a mask inspection system with high detection sensitivity for these masks is also required. In this paper, a new inspection method to improve defect detection sensitivity for a PSM in the DUV inspection system is discussed.
