Abstract

A test photomask comprising a fresnel zone target (FZT) pattern may be used to verify the adjustment of a precision projector illumination system of an image projection system. The method comprises the steps of creating the FZT pattern on a photomask, projecting a pupil diagram onto an image plane using the FZT pattern, and evaluating the pupil diagram to determine the illumination system adjustment.
