Abstract
Increasing miniaturization and complexity of nanostructures require innovative metrology solutions with high throughput that can assess complex 3D structures in a non-destructive manner. EUV scatterometry is investigated for the characterization of nanostructured surfaces and compared to grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS). The reconstruction is based on a rigorous simulation using a Maxwell solver based on finite-elements and is statistically validated with a Markov-Chain-Monte-Carlo sampling method. It is shown that in comparison to GISAXS, EUV allows to probe smaller areas and to reduce the computation times obtaining comparable uncertainties.
