In a lithographic apparatus the angle dependence of the intensity distribution of a projection beam at a substrate is controlled. A beam splitter is located in the beam near a pupil plane. The beam splitter splits off an auxiliary beam, which is used to measure information about the spatial intensity distribution of the beam at the pupil plane. The measured position dependence in the auxiliary beam may be decontrolled using boundary conditions inherent to the illuminator to compensate for offset between the pupil plane and a detection element. The measured position dependence may be used to control parameters of an optical element that manipulates the position dependence in the pupil plane. An example of such an optical element is a matrix of elements that controllably steer the direction of parts of the beam. Thus a continuous feedback loop may be realized.

A scanning optical system using a short-wavelength light of 500 nm or less uses a reflecting mirror having a higher absolute reflectivity and having reduced wavelength and angle dependences. Divergent ray of light emitted from a semiconductor laser is converted into an approximately parallel light beam by a collimator lens and the diameter of the light flux is reduced by an aperture before travel to a polygon mirror. The light beam from the polygon mirror passes through scanning lenses to form a small spot at any point in the entire scanning area. The semiconductor laser is a gallium nitride semiconductor laser having an oscillation wavelength of 408 nm. The polygon mirror has such a characteristic that, if the complex refractive index N of a metallic film contributing to a reflection characteristic of the reflecting mirror is defined as N(λ)=n(λ)−ik(λ), then k(λ)>√{square root over ((−n(λ)2+18n(λ)−1))}{square root over ((−n(λ)2+18n(λ)−1))} is satisfied.

Each pixel includes first and second subpixels with different luminances. Each subpixel includes a liquid crystal capacitor and a storage capacitor. The storage capacitor counter electrodes of the subpixels (such as those of the first subpixel of an arbitrary pixel and the second subpixel of a vertically adjacent pixel) are electrically independent. A storage capacitor counter voltage supplied through each storage capacitor trunk has a first period (A) with a first waveform and a second period (B) with a second waveform within one vertical scanning period (V-Total) of an input video signal, where V-Total=A+B. The first waveform oscillates between first and second voltage levels in a first cycle time PA, which is an integral number of times, and at least twice, as long as one horizontal scanning period (H). The second waveform is defined such that the effective value of the storage capacitor counter voltage has a predetermined constant value every predetermined number of (but 20 or less) consecutive vertical scanning periods. Thus, the viewing angle dependence of the γ characteristic can be reduced.

Each pixel includes a region where a lower reflection film is not present. In each pixel, there is a region where a microcavity structure is formed between a counter electrode and a lower reflection film and another region where the microcavity structure is not formed. The regions differentiated in cavity length can differently enhance the peak wavelength so as to improve the viewing angle dependence. Furthermore, in each of R, G, and B light emitting pixels, the area ratio of a region where the microcavity structure is present and another region where the microcavity structure is not present can be adjusted so as to eliminate the differences caused by the microcavity structure.

An optical path of infrared rays (see the broken lines in FIG. 1) is modified to a substantially U-like shape by a first reflecting mirror and a second reflecting mirror. An incidence angle of the infrared rays incident on the wavelength filter (an angle between the infrared rays incident on the surface of the wavelength filter and the line perpendicular to the surface of the wavelength filter) is nearly zero. For this reason, as compared with a conventional example, the influence of the incidence angle dependence of the wavelength filter can be reduced. As a result, the amount of the infrared rays reaching the light receiving unit through the wavelength filter is increased, thereby suppressing a decline in the detection accuracy of the gas component.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for measuring a three-dimensional profile using a SEM, capable of accurately measuring the three-dimensional profile of even a flat surface or a nearly vertical surface based on the inclination angle dependence of the amount of secondary electron image signal detected by the SEM. Specifically, a tilt image obtaining unit obtains a tilt image (a tilt secondary electron image) I(2) of flat regions a and c1 on a pattern to be measured by using an electron beam incident on the pattern from an observation direction φ(2). Then, profile measuring units presume the slope (or surface inclination angle) at each point on the pattern based on the obtained tilt image and integrate successively each presumed slope value (or surface inclination angle value) to measure three-dimensional profiles S2a and S2c. This arrangement allows a three-dimensional profile to be accurately measured.

A multilayer mirror aims to reduce incidence angle dependence of reflectivity. A substrate is made of low thermal polished expansion glass with 0.2 nm RMS or less roughness of the surface. On the surface thereof formed is a Ru / Si multilayer having a wide full-width half maximum of peak reflectivity, and on the Ru / Si multilayer formed is a Mo / Si multilayer having a high peak reflectivity value. This enables higher reflectivity than when Ru / Si alone provided and a reflectivity peak having a wider full-width half maximum than when the Mo / Si multilayer alone provided. Since Ru absorbs EUV ray more than Mo does, higher reflectivity is obtainable than that of a structure having the Ru / Si multilayer formed on the Mo / Si multilayer. The multilayer with a wide full-width half maximum has small incidence angle dependence of reflectivity in spectral reflectivity, thereby achieving high imaging performance in projection optical system.
