An automated etching system was developed to achieve reflective wavefront control with 10-pm precision by regulating the surface layer of EUV multilayer mirrors at the nanometer scale. The apparatus consists of cleaning tanks, a drying unit, an ellipsometer, and a "Nova5" collaborative robot. By implementing an integrated control system using Lua and UWSC, the study successfully reduced processing time—a challenge in manual operations—and significantly enhanced the reproducibility of measurement data. These results demonstrate the system's potential for application in optical systems for EUV microscopy.
