CO2 Laser Produced Tin Plasma Light Source as the Solution for EUV Lithography
High average power EUV light source has been the “most critical” issue in the research and development of the EUV lithography system in one decade. EUV LLC and International Sematech significantly stimulated the global research community to work seriously to advance plasma technology in achieving the goal of the EUV source, required by the semiconductor industry. It is instructive to look into ...
متن کاملExtreme ultraviolet light sources–State of the art, future developments, and potential applications
Semiconductor micro-chips with critical dimensions of 50 nm and below will likely be manufactured with extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography at a wavelength of 13.5 nm. Among others EUV lithography requires a brilliant radiation source with output power between 50W and 120W collected in an intermediate focus at the entrance of the exposure tool. The development of these powerful EUV sources wil...
متن کاملHigh-Yield Z-Pinch Thermonuclear Neutron Source
Introduction: Neutron beams are useful for many applications, from noninvasive imaging and characterization of materials to producing medical isotopes and detecting hidden explosive devices. Some applications require high-energy neutrons created in fusion nuclear reactions between deuterium (D) and tritium (T). To achieve thermal fusion, deuterium or DT plasma must be heated to about 10 8 K, wh...
متن کاملOptimum driving a Z-pinch for soft X-Ray lasers
A capillary plasma z-pinch as an alternative active medium of soft X-Ray lasers was studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis was based on the self consistent solution of the so called “snow plow” model. The dynamics of pinched plasma is determined by the capillary parameters and by the time dependence of electrical current passing through it. The current time dependenc...
