Article Abstract

The prevalent 0.33 NA unobstructed extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) six-mirror objective system is characterized by a large average incidence angle at M5, which adversely affects imaging performance and energy transmission following coating. In order to improve the system performance of coated EUVL objectives, this paper presents an innovative 0.36 NA EUVL objective system, to our knowledge, designed to mitigate these issues by reducing the average incidence angle. Meanwhile, the genetic adaptive particle swarm hybrid effective set algorithm (GA-APSO-Aset), which does not need to provide a starting point, is proposed to search the initial structure of the new system, and further optimized. It achieves comprehensive wavefront aberration across the full field-of-view (FOV), exceeding the benchmark of 1/60 (=13.5). In comparison to a conventional 0.33 NA unobstructed EUVL system, the new system exhibits an enhanced average light transmission of over 26% post-coating, providing a strategic approach for the integrated design of EUVL coatings and objective systems.

Background: With the availability of more advanced and effective treatments, life expectancy has improved among patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), but this makes communication with their medical oncologist more complex. Some patients struggle to learn about their therapeutic options and to understand and articulate their preferences. Mobile health (mHealth) apps can enhance patient-provider communication, playing a crucial role in the diagnosis, treatment, quality of life, and outcomes for patients living with MBC.

Background: Assisted vaginal birth is a lifesaving procedure where health workers use special devices to expedite birth vaginally when some complications emerge, such as due to prolonged labor. When the use of assisted vaginal birth is possible and appropriate, it provides benefits over cesarean section. These benefits include shorter recovery, reduced hospital stays, lower risks of complications, cost savings, and greater likelihood of vaginal birth in future pregnancies.
