Paper Abstract
To minimize the adverse effects of polarization aberrations in the projection optical system, methods to compensate the
polarization aberrations are required for high resolution lithography. In this paper, we propose a symmetric polarization
aberration compensation method based on scalar aberration control for lithographic projection lens. This method focuses
on the compensation of polarization aberrations induced by radially symmetric retardances. The foundation of the
compensation method is the linear relationship between conventional even aberration and polarization aberration induced
by radially symmetric retardances. The compensation accuracy is dependent on the even aberration adjustment accuracy
of the projection lens and the sensitivity of the mask pattern to even aberrations. By this polarization aberration
compensation method, the lithographic process window can be improved obviously.
