As device features continue to shrink, achieving acceptable yields becomes increasingly challenging. In the photolithography process, mask error is one of the most critical error sources, since any imperfections on a mask will be amplified and transferred onto a wafer due to Mask Error Enhancement Factor (MEEF) [1]. F…

We review the magnetic form factor deduced by Delrieu from Gorkov's equation for a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) type-II superconductor near its ${B}_{\mathrm{c}2}$ phase boundary, i.e., when its magnetization is small. A numerical study of the form factor, field map, and field distribution follows. The characterist…
