Systems and methods to avoid instability conditions in a source plasma chamber
In LPP EUV systems, sinusoidal oscillations or instabilities can occur in the generated EUV energy. This is avoided by detecting when the LPP EUV system is approaching such instability and adjusting the LPP EUV system by moving the laser beam of the LPP EUV system. Detection is done by determining w...

description | In LPP EUV systems, sinusoidal oscillations or instabilities can occur in the generated EUV energy. This is avoided by detecting when the LPP EUV system is approaching such instability and adjusting the LPP EUV system by moving the laser beam of the LPP EUV system. Detection is done by determining when the generated EUV energy is at or above a primary threshold. Adjusting the LPP EUV system by moving the laser beam is done for a fixed period of time, until a subsequently generated EUV energy is below the primary threshold, until a subsequently generated EUV energy is below the primary threshold for a fixed period of time, or until a subsequently generated EUV energy is at or below a secondary threshold below the primary threshold. |
