Abstract:
A method of controlling reticle masking blade positioning to minimize the impact on critical dimension uniformity includes determining a target location of a reticle masking blade relative to a reflective reticle and positioning the reticle masking blade at the target location. A position of the reticle masking blade is monitored during an imaging operation. The position of the reticle masking blade is compared with the target location and the position of the reticle masking blade is adjusted if the position of the reticle masking blade is outside a tolerance of the target location.

Claim (Index 12):
The device of  claim 9 , wherein the one or more actuators are configured to move the reticle masking blades in a direction parallel to a main surface of the reflective reticle support stage or in a direction perpendicular to a main surface of the reflective reticle support stage.
