Abstract

An instrumented substrate apparatus is configured to measure wavelength-resolved radiation, such as extreme ultraviolet radiation. The instrumented substrate apparatus includes a substrate and photoelectric sensors on the substrate. The photoelectric sensors include a photoemissive material, a photoelectron collector, and a measurement circuit. The measurement circuit is electrically coupled to the photoemissive material and the photoelectron collector. The measurement circuit is configured to measure a current generated by the photoelectron collectors by a current meter. Such current is used to determine the wavelength-resolved EUV measurement information by a controller on the instrumented substrate apparatus, or by communicating the current to a factory automation system.
