High-power EUV (13.5 nm) light source

Characteristics of a discharge-produced plasma (DPP) light source in the spectral band 13.5{+-}0.135 nm, developed for Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV) lithography, are presented. EUV light is generated by DPP in tin vapour formed between rotating disk electrodes. The discharge is ignited by a focused las...

Zusammenfassung:Characteristics of a discharge-produced plasma (DPP) light source in the spectral band 13.5{+-}0.135 nm, developed for Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV) lithography, are presented. EUV light is generated by DPP in tin vapour formed between rotating disk electrodes. The discharge is ignited by a focused laser beam. The EUV power 1000 W/(2{pi} sr) in the spectral band 13.5{+-}0.135 nm was achieved with input power about of {approx}63 kW to the plasma at a pulse repetition rate {approx}7 kHz . The results of numerical simulation are compared with the experimental data. (interaction of laser radiation with matter. laser plasma)
