Abstract

Abbe’s resolution formulas for a grating imaged under on-axis, off-axis, and incoherent illuminations are obtained with the help of the line-spread function. A rule-of-thumb relationship applicable to the extreme ultraviolet mask for patterning a grating near the resolution limit of the imaging optics is given.
