Abstract

Modern steppers and scanners have a projection lens whose numerical aperture (NA) can be varied so as to optimize the image performance for certain lithographic features. Thus a variable fraction of the aberrations is actually involved in the imaging process. In this letter, we present a concise formula for the NA scaling of the Zernike coefficients. In addition, we apply our results to the Strehl ratio.
