Particle image velocimetry of extreme ultraviolet lithography systems

A method includes irradiating a target droplet in an extreme ultraviolet light source of an extreme ultraviolet lithography tool with light from a droplet illumination module. Light reflected and/or scattered by the target droplet is detected. Particle image velocimetry is performed to monitor one o...

Zusammenfassung:A method includes irradiating a target droplet in an extreme ultraviolet light source of an extreme ultraviolet lithography tool with light from a droplet illumination module. Light reflected and/or scattered by the target droplet is detected. Particle image velocimetry is performed to monitor one or more flow parameters inside the extreme ultraviolet light source.
