  • Publication number: 20230280665
    Abstract: A method comprises cleaning a surface of a reticle by irradiating the surface of the reticle in a first exposure device for a predetermined irradiation time. A layout pattern of the reticle is projected onto a photo resist layer of a wafer in a second exposure device by an EUV radiation. The photo resist layer is developed to generate a photo resist pattern on the wafer. A surface of the wafer is imaged to generate an image of the photo resist pattern on the wafer. The generated image of the photo resist pattern is analyzed to determine critical dimension uniformity (CDU) of the photo resist pattern. The predetermined irradiation time is adjusted until the determined CDU satisfies a predetermined criterion.
