Definitions
- the present invention relates to a stabilized extreme ultraviolet generator through laser beam correction, and more particularly, to an extreme ultraviolet generator capable of generating an ultra-ultraviolet beam with improved efficiency while maximizing the structure.
- the resolution of the exposure apparatus is proportional to the numerical aperture (NA) of the transfer optical system and inversely proportional to the wavelength of light used for exposure. For this reason, as an attempt to increase the resolution, an attempt has been made to use an Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) light source having a short wavelength instead of visible or ultraviolet light for exposure transfer.
- EUV Extreme Ultraviolet
- As the EUV light generating device used in such an exposure transfer device there are a laser plasma EUV light source and a discharge plasma EUV light source.

However, in order to obtain a high output EUV light source, there is a limit to using Ne gas as a target, and it is also desired to use other materials.
- the region of 200 nm to 100 nm corresponding to half of the long wavelength side is called VUV light and the region of 100 nm to 10 nm corresponding to half of the short wavelength side is generally called EUV light.
- EUV light with a center wavelength of less than 100 nm from plasma is absorbed by the optical system such as air or condenser mirror (applied with a general reflective coating), and thus is not absorbed by the optical system.
