長寿命化を図ることが望まれている。Efforts have been made to extend the life of each of these devices. Further, although excimer laser devices are normally operated in a sealed tube manner, halogen gas has high chemical reactivity, so chemical reactions at the electrodes are significant, resulting in deterioration of the electrodes. This deterioration of the electrode is also one of the factors that determines the life of the excimer laser device, and it is desired to solve this problem and extend the life of the electrode.

作される。If the electrode were an infinitely wide flat plate, the electric field would be uniform, but
Actual electrodes have only a finite extent, so even if a voltage is applied between the plates, a -like electric field cannot be obtained. - Electromagnetic calculations are required to obtain a similar electric field, and in the past the Rogowski electrode shape was considered optimal, and currently the Chang electrode shape is considered optimal, and these mathematically expressed electrode shapes are manufactured using NG machine tools. .

, the surface layer 11 of the electrode 1 gradually becomes depressed 13
and deformation. At this time, the distance between the electrodes has increased at the center of the electrode 1, and the actual distance between the ends of the electrodes 1 and 2 is smaller (as a result, the discharge is concentrated at these ends. There were problems in that the uniformity of the discharge over the entire electrode surface was lost and the output of the laser was reduced.

Eximer laser is generated by pulse-discharging the cathode and anode electrodes 1 and 2 in a mixed gas with a halogen gas such as I or a halogen compound gas to generate a high-energy laser active medium such as ^rp, KrP, XeC1, XeF, etc. It is configured to oscillate.

部14.24(厚みが例えばl、am)だけのC,Si
、 S等を除去するようにする。Removal of c, St, S, etc. from electrodes 1 and 2 made of Ni is performed by removing electrodes 1 and 2 made of Ni. This is done by reducing 2 in a hydrogen atmosphere, oxidizing it in an oxygen atmosphere, and then further reducing it in a hydrogen atmosphere. If the electrodes 1 and 2 are thick, it will take a long time to remove C, Si, S, etc. from the entire electrodes 1 and 2, so the surface layer of the electrodes 1 and 2 will be removed as shown in Figure 1. C, Si of only part 14.24 (thickness is e.g. l, am)

せるプロセスを経由してC及びSiを除去する。Comparing Table 1 Figures 2(a), (b) and Figures 3(al, (bl), Sample B in Figures 3(a), (b) is different from Figure 2(a), (b). ) It can be seen that the surface unevenness of the sample is smaller than that of sample A. This is because the amount of C and SiO contained in sample B is smaller than that of sample A.
It is thought that because there are fewer grains, the surface is less uneven. Therefore, since the content of impurities such as C, Si, and S in the electrode in the device of the present invention is 0.01% or less, which is lower than that in Sample B, the unevenness on the surface of the electrode is further reduced. Generally, to remove the electrode, C and Si are removed through a process of reducing in a hydrogen atmosphere, oxidizing in an oxygen atmosphere, and then further reducing in a hydrogen atmosphere.

However, the constituent material of the electrode 1.2 may be, for example, CO, etc. In the case where the main component does not produce low-boiling fluoride, it is also possible to use the constituent material from which impurities have been removed.
