Abstract
In the displacement measurement of the wafer stage of the lithography machine, the two-dimensional grating measurement system has attracted much attention because of its short optical path and less impact from the environmental disturbances. Meanwhile, the high-efficiency polarization-independent two-dimensional grating can not only reduce the Abbe error but also improve the signal accuracy. In this paper, we propose a reflective two-dimensional metal-dielectric grating with excellent polarization-independent and high diffraction efficiency. Calculated by rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) , when the incident azimuth angle is 45°, the (-1, -1) order diffraction efficiencies of transverse electric polarization (TE) and transverse magnetic polarization (TM) are 95.6% and 94.9% at 632 nm incident wavelength under Littrow mounting, respectively. The diffraction efficiency equilibrium is 98.9%. The high efficiency of TE and TM polarization makes them have great application potential in 2D grating measurement system (GMS). Furthermore, the structure based on the frustum of a cone performs well in manufacturing tolerance, which provides possibility for practical applications.
