Abstract
We report wavefront measurement of a multilayer-coated, reflective optical system at 13.4-nm wavelength performed using a novel phase-shifting point-diffraction interferometer. Successful interferometric measurements of a 10x Schwarzschild objective designed for extreme ultraviolet projection lithography with 0.1-micrometer resolution demonstrate high- precision with sub-nanometer resolution. The goal of the interferometry is to achieve wavefront measurement accuracy beyond lambda/50 rms at EUV wavelengths. Preliminary measurements are discussed and the paths toward achieving the target accuracy are identified.
