/ Abstract
EUV scatterometry is performed on 3D patterns on EUV lithography masks. Numerical simulations of the experimental setup are performed using a rigorous Maxwell solver. Mask geometry is determined by minimizing the difference between experimental results and numerical results for varied geometrical input parameters for the simulations.
