Description
本発明の開示は、ターゲット材料から作り出されて、例えばリソグラフィスキャナ/ステッパによるEUV光源チャンバ外での利用に向けて集光されて中間領域に誘導されるプラズマからのEUV光を供給する極紫外線(EUV)光源に関する。
EUV光を生成する方法は、以下に限定されるものではないが、1つ又はそれよりも多くの輝線がEUV範囲にある少なくとも1つの元素、例えば、キセノン、リチウム、又は錫を有する材料をプラズマ状態に変換する段階を含む。レーザ生成プラズマ(LPP)ということが多い1つのこのような方法においては、所要のプラズマは、所要の線放出元素を有する材料の液滴、流れ、又はクラスターのようなターゲット材料をレーザビームで照射することによって生成することができる。
この態様の一用途においては、プラズマは、錫を含むことができ、フィルタは、水素化錫、酸化錫、臭化錫、及びその組合せを含む化合物の群から選択された化合物を除去することができる。
この態様の一実施例では、封入構造体は、容器の外部にある案内路と流体連通している容器を含むことができる。
この態様の一実施例では、封入構造体は、容器の外部にある案内路と流体連通している容器を含むことができる。
この態様の一構成においては、ガスは、ポンプに到達する前に温度制御式多チャンネル構造体を通過することができる。
この態様の一実施形態では、封入構造体は、容器を含み、熱交換器は、容器内に位置決めすることができる。
この態様の一構成においては、熱交換器は、温度制御式多チャンネル構造体とすることができる。
この態様の一実施形態では、閉ループ循環システムは、システム内で摂氏1000度未満の平均ガス温度を維持することができる。
この態様の一実施形態では、ガスは、容積で50パーセントを超える水素を含むことができる。
この態様の一構成においては、ガスは、HBr、HI、Br2、Cl2、HCl、又はその組合せから成るエッチャントガスの群から選択されたエッチャントガスを含むことができる。
この態様の一実施形態では、ガスは、イオンが光学系に到達する前に30eV未満にイオンエネルギを低減するように距離dにわたって作動するのに十分なガス数密度nを確立することができる。
