  • a system component of such an EUV projection exposure apparatus within the meaning of the present invention is, in particular, an optical element, in particular a mirror.
  • a projection exposure apparatus for lithography is used for example for producing finely structured electronic components.
  • An EUV projection exposure apparatus operates with short-wave radiation, to be precise with radiation in the extreme ultraviolet, abbreviated to EUV radiation, the wavelength of which is in the range of approximately 5 nm to approximately 20 nm, for example.
  • cooling systems have been proposed which serve to carry off the heat input into the optical system during operation on account of the action of the EUV radiation from individual or all system components of the optical system in order to provide for corresponding cooling.
  • the cooling of an optical system in present-day EUV lithography systems is difficult on account of the high heat flow density on the optical elements and the relatively high thermal resistance of the optical elements and on account of the requirement for stability in relation to deformations of the optical elements.
  • the cooling medium In order to prevent critical components and materials from being overheated, the cooling medium must be able to remove heat from the system to a sufficient extent, which depends on the material selection and on the performance settings of the system.
  • cooling systems for optical systems for EUV applications use, inter alia, cooling media such as mixtures of water and glycol, for example.
  • cooling media such as mixtures of water and glycol, for example.
  • the use of coolants such as glycol or water-glycol mixtures entails the risk of contaminations of the system components, in particular of the optical elements of the optical system.
  • cooling media used often have a corrosive action in relation to the system components, which typically comprise materials such as copper and aluminum.
  • the document US 2012/0267550 A1 discloses a cooling system which is configured as a two-phase cooling system, i.e. the cooling medium used is present in the gaseous (vapor) and in the liquid state in the system.
  • This document proposes to use the following fluids as cooling fluids: ammonia, H 2 S, C0 2 , R32, Propane, R22, 2-butane, R41 , N 2 0, Ethane, Propylene, DME and R134a.
  • Most of these fluids require a pressure for a saturation temperature at 22°C which is higher than 10 bar which poses high requirements for ensuring leak-tightness of the cooling system and, accordingly, requires a higher structural outlay of the cooling system.
  • Some of the fluids proposed as cooling media in this document are dielectric fluids, for example R22 and R134a.
  • this object is achieved with respect to the cooling system according to the preamble of claim 1 by virtue of the fact that the dielectric fluid comprises a liquid phase at an operating pressure below 10 bar and in a temperature range of approximately 10°C to approximately 50°C.
  • Dielectric fluids as cooling media for optical systems for EUV applications generally have the advantage that, at the desired operating temperature of EUV systems, that is to say in the range of approximately 20°C to approximately 22°C, they have thermal properties which enable an increased heat transfer and an increased heat carrying off capability in comparison with air or nitrogen gas in the case of single-phase cooling.
  • Dielectric fluids have the major advantage over pure water that they have a better compatibility with the materials of the system components, such as copper and aluminum, for example, and in particular have a less corrosive action if they come into contact with typical structure materials such as copper and aluminum. For this reason, pure water, which can be regarded as a dielectric fluid, is excluded from selection as a cooling medium according to the invention since its absorption of gases such as C0 2 leads to impaired material compatibility and thus to a higher risk of corrosion.
  • a further advantage of a dielectric fluid as a cooling medium is that, owing to the lack of conductivity of a dielectric fluid, electronic components of the optical system are not damaged in the case of leakage during which cooling medium escapes.
  • a dielectric fluid is selected as the cooling medium which comprises a liquid phase at an operating pressure below 10 bar and in a temperature range of approximately 10°C to approximately 50°C, preferably in a temperature range of approximately 15°C to approximately 35°C.
  • the dielectric fluid preferably is non-flammable, which reduces or even completely avoids the risk of fire in comparison with conventional cooling media such as ammonia or glycol.
  • the cooling medium of the cooling system according to the first aspect of the invention can consist of a single dielectric fluid, or the cooling medium can be dielectric fluid as component of a mixture with other cooling media.
  • the dielectric fluid is selected from the group comprising: (Trans)-1 -Chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (R1233zd(E)), 2,3,3,3- Tetrafluoropropene (R1234yf), 1 ,3,3,-Tetrafluoropropene (R1234ze), 1 ,1 ,1 ,3,3,3- Hexafluoropropane (R236fa), 1 ,1 ,13,3-Pentafluoropropane (R245fa), Dodecafiuoro-2- methylpentan-3-one (Novec 649); 1 - Methoxyheptafluoropropane (Novec 7000), Methoxy- nonafluorobutane (Novec 7100), Ethoxy- nonafluorobutane (Novec 7200), Pen- tane, 1 ,1 , 1 ,2,2, 3,4,5,
  • the afore-mentioned dielectric fluids are principally suitable cooling media for EUV systems, and these fluids are liquid in the above-mentioned pressure and temperature ranges. Further, these fluids can be used in two-phase cooling as well as in single-phase cooling. [0024] Although all afore-mentioned dielectric fluids are principally usable in a cooling system for EUV applications, it is further preferred if the dielectric fluid has a saturation pressure in a range below 10 bar and above 0.8 bar at a temperature of approximately 22°C.
  • Preferred dielectric fluids according to the present invention which have a saturation pressure in a range below 10 bar and above 0.8 bar at a temperature of approximately 22°C are R1233zd(E), R1234yf, R1234ze, R236fa, R245fa.
  • R1233zd(E) is particularly preferred, because this fluid has a saturation pressure of 1.14 bar at a temperature of 22°C.
  • the cooling system can be operated under an operating pressure of slightly above atmospheric pressure, thus avoiding the risk of air contamination upon a leakage of the system.
  • R1234yf has a saturation pressure of 6.18 bar, R1234ze 4.45 bar, R236fa 2.46 bar and R245fa 1.32 bar at a temperature of 22°C, thus R245fa and R236fa are also useful in this aspect.
  • the dielectric fluid in the at least one cooling channel can be present in a single phase, that is to say in the liquid phase, or it can be present in two phases, that is to say as a mixture of liquid and gaseous phases.
  • the cooling medium is present in a liquid phase (single-phase cooling) or as a mixture of liquid and gaseous phases (two-phase cooling), it is possible to make use of the effect, in particular, that the cooling medium can absorb the heat from the at least one system component in the phase transition from liquid to gaseous as latent heat, to be precise with a very high heat capacity and correspondingly small increase in the temperature of the cooling medium.
  • Dielectric fluids having a high latent heat at a temperature of approximately 25°C are R1233zd(E) (191.1 kJkg “1 ), R1234yf (143.9 kJkg “1 ), R1234ze (167.1 kJkg “ ), R236fa (145.9 kJkg “1 ) and R245fa (190.3 kJkg “1 ) so that these dielectric fluids are not only suited because of their saturation pressure at a temperature in a range of approximately 18°C to 30°C, but also in view of their high latent heat.
  • Another dielectric fluid which has a high latent heat is Novec 7000 (142.0 kJkg "1 at 25°C).
  • Paricularly preferred in two-phase cooling are R1233zd(E) and R245fa.
  • Non-flammable dielectric fluids are obtainable whose boiling point is in the range around 30°C at atmospheric pressure, which is particularly advantageous in the context of the present invention because the abovementioned effect according to which the cooling medium can absorb the heat from the at least one system component as latent heat can be utilized in the range of the desired operating temperature of the optical system and in particular at ambient pressure.
  • the cooling system can maintain a stable temperature of the at least one system component or of the optical system around the desired operating temperature of the optical system, without the cooling medium having to be pressurized for this purpose.
  • the phase of the dielectric fluid can thus vary during heat exchange. It also goes without saying that the phase of the cooling medium can differ in different sections of the cooling system, and even within a specific section it can vary with time or when system parameters of the optical system vary.
  • the cooling medium can assume different phases (liquid, gaseous) during storage, during feeding to a system component to be cooled, and after discharging of the cooling medium after absorption of heat from the at least one system component. In this case, the phase of the cooling medium can differ both from a temporal standpoint and from a spatial standpoint in the cooling system.
  • the dielectric fluid in the at least one cooling channel is under an operating pressure which corresponds approximately to atmospheric pressure.
  • Atmospheric pressure should be understood here to mean the usual external ambient pressure of the optical system, which can be in the range of approximately 800 mbar and 1300 mbar depending on the geographical location of the optical system. It goes without saying that the at least one system component itself can be under other pressures; by way of example, the at least one system component can be operated under vacuum conditions.
  • the cooling medium can be operated at atmospheric pressure or at a pressure slightly elevated relative to atmospheric pressure in accordance with the pump pressure, the measures for ensuring the leak-tightness of the cooling system involve a significantly lower outlay compared with the case where the cooling medium is under a pressure significantly elevated relative to atmospheric pressure.
  • the dielectric fluid in the at least one cooling channel has a temperature which is in a range of approximately 10°C to approximately 50°C, preferably in a range of approximately 15°C to approximately 35°C.
  • the dielectric fluid has a boiling point in a temperature range of approximately 10°C to approximately 50°C, preferably in a temperature range of approximately 15°C to approximately 35°C, at atmospheric pressure. If the cooling medium is operated only in a single phase, higher boiling points are of course possible and also desired, e.g. boiling points > 30°C through to above 200°C, e.g. 215°C.
  • Dielectric fluids which have a boiling point in the afore-mentioned temperature ranges at atmospheric pressure and, thus, are advantageous are R1233zd (E) (18.4°C at 1 bar), R245fa (14.8°C at 1 bar), Novec 649 (49°C at 1 bar), Novec 7000 (34°C at 1 bar).
  • the dielectric fluid has a dielectric strength in a range of approximately 10 MV/m to approximately 70 MV/m.
  • the dielectric strengt strength is a measure of the minimum electrical voltage that results in a sparkover, said electrical voltage being present between two electrodes which are at a specific distance apart from one another and between which the dielectric fluid is present.
  • a dielectric fluid having a high dielectric strength is chosen, which does not lead to a short circuit upon contact with current-carrying parts in the case of leakage.
  • the dielectric fluid has a dynamic viscosity in a range of approximately 100 ⁇ Pa-s to approximately 25.000 ⁇ - ⁇ at a temperature of approximately 22°C and at atmospheric pressure.
  • a low dynamic viscosity has the advantage that the decrease or drop in pressure along the at least one cooling channel is as small as possible.
  • the dynamic liquid viscosity and the density ratio between the liquid phase and the gaseous phase are important parameters. They affect considerably the system pressure drop and cooling capacity, the latter being dependent on the mass flow rate in the cooling loop.

  • FC72 has a high density ratio, which means a potentially higher mass flow rate in a thermosiphon loop
  • its pressure drop is similar to the values obtained for R245fa and R1233zd(E) at low mass flow rates and higher at high mass flow rates.

  • the dielectric fluid R134a is used as the cooling medium, but only in single-phase cooling. Since R134a has a saturation pressure of 6.08 bar at a temperature of 22°C, the cooling system can be operated under an operating pressure which is higher than atmospheric pressure, but not too high in terms of structural outlay requirements for achieving leak tightness.

  • FIGs. 5 through 8 show diagrams of saturation curves for the fluids listed in table 1 .
  • Each saturation curve corresponds to the phase boundary between the gaseous (vapor) phase (below the corresponding saturation curve) and the liquid phase (above the corresponding saturation curve).
  • Fig. 5 shows the saturation curves for the dielectric fluids R134a, R1234yf, R1234ze, R236fa, R245fa, and R1233zd(E). As can be seen from Fig. 5, all the afore-mentioned dielectric fluids comprise a liquid phase in the preferred temperature range of approximately 15°C to approximately 35°C.
  • Fig. 6 shows the saturation curves for the dielectric fluids Novec 7000, Novec 649, Novec 7100, Novec 774, Novec 7200, Novec 7300, and Novec 7500.
  • Fig. 7 shows the saturation curves for the dielectric fluids FC 72, FC 3283, FC 43, and FC 70.
  • Fig. 8 shows the saturation curves for Methanol and Ethanol.
  • the level of pressure that a potential two-phase cooling system will operate at can be evaluated, in particular in the temperature range of interest, which is the temperature range of approximately 15°C to approximately 35°C, preferably at a temperature around 18°C to around 23°C, which is the preferred operating temperature range of an EUV lithography system. It can be taken from Figs. 6 through 8 that Ethanol, Methanol and all the fluids the saturation curves of which are shown in Figs. 6 and 7 will work in two-phase cooling applications below the atmospheric pressure in the considered temperature range, meaning that air contamination into the cooling system can occur even for minor leaks.
  • the fluids the saturation curves of which are shown in Fig. 5 have a positive operating pressure, i.e. an operating pressure which is higher than atmospheric pressure, i.e. between 1.3 bar and 6 bar at a temperature around 20°C.
  • C0 2 as cooling medium requires a very high operating pressure in order to be at least in part in liquid phase, because the satura- tion pressure of C0 2 is about 60 bar at a temperature of 22°C.
  • Such a high operating pressure would require a very high structural outlay in order to ensure leak tightness of the cooling system.
  • the dielectric fluids R1233zd (E) and R245fa are particularly suited as a cooling medium, but also the dielectric fluids R1234yf, R1234ze, and R236fa.
  • the choice of a dielectric fluid as the cooling medium 92 not only depends on a well-suited operating pressure, but other parameters such as density and viscosity must also be considered when choosing the cooling medium, since these parameters have strong effect in the system pressure drop, i.e. pumping power in pumped cooling systems.
  • Another parameter which is relevant for the choice of a suited dielectric fluid is the dielectric strength which is indicated in Table 1 for the fluids listed there, and which better represents the electrical insulation property of the fluid than the dielectric constant, because the high dielectric constant does not mean that the fluid has a good electrical insulation characteristic. With respect to the dielectric strength, all the dielectric fluids listed in Table 1 are suitable.
  • Another relevant parameter, in particular for two-phase cooling applications is the latent heat of the cooling medium.
  • Table 1 the latent heats at a temperature of 25°C of the dielectric fluids of interest are indicated. The higher the latent heat, the higher the potential of cooling capacity.
  • the dielectric fluids R1233zd (E), R1234yf, R1234ze, R236fa, R245fa are more advantegeous than the Novec fluids except Novec 7000 which shows a latent heat in the same order of magnitude as the aforementioned fluids.
  • water, Ethanol and Methanol have by far the highest values of latent heat, use of these fluids require operating pressures of about 0.03 bar, 0.08 bar and 0.2 bar for a saturated condition at 25°C, and thus huge two-phase frictional pressure drops lead to highly unstable processes.
  • the liquid or dynamic viscosity and the density ratio which means the ratio of the density of the liquid phase to the density of the vapor or gaseous phase, are important parameters. These parameters affect considerably the system pressure drop and cooling capacity (mass flow rate in the cooling loop).
  • An ideal cooling medium would have a high density ratio (high cooling capacity) and low viscosity (low pressure drop).
  • the Novec and FC dielectric fluids as well as Ethanol and Methanol have the highest density ratios which enhances the flow rate, but also a high viscosity which diminishes the flow rate.
  • the dielectric fluid FC 72 seems to be better for a thermosiphon cooling system since it has a higher density ratio and lower viscosity than R245fa and R1233zd (E), and methanol (which however, is highly flammable and toxic) also seems to be a good option, but has a viscosity higher than the other three aforementioned dielectric fluids.
  • the negative aspect of the fluids FC 72 and methanol is the operating pressure (about 0.27 bar and about 0.15 bar, respectively), which is below atmospheric pressure, which is not the case for R245fa and R1233zd (E) which can be operated at 1.32 bar and 1.14 bar.
  • cooling media operating under vacuum conditions have the disadvantage of air contamination in case of leakage and of requiring special degasing equipment.
  • R1234yf, R134a, R1234ze and R236fa show a more uniform pressure drop, being the values comparable with those of low pressure fluids when high mass flow rate (higher cooling capacity) is considered.
  • the relevant parameters are the specific heat (higher values mean higher cooling capacity when considering constant mass flow rate and gradient of fluid temperature) as well as viscosity (associated with the cooling system pressure drop and, consequently, pumping power in a pumped cooling system).
  • the dielectric fluids R134a, R1234yf, R1234ze, R245fa and Novec 7000 show the highest values of specific heat according to Table 1 , however R245fa and Novec 7000 have higher values of liquid viscosity, which means higher pressure drop and pumping power.
  • the fluids C0 2 , ethanol, methanol show the highest values of specific heat according to Table 1 , however, aspects such as high pressure (C0 2 ), sub-atmospheric pressures (Ethanol, Methanol), high viscosity (Ethanol, Methanol), flammability (Ethanol, Methanol) and toxicity (Methanol) considerably limit the use of these fluids.
  • C0 2 high pressure
  • Ethanol, Methanol sub-atmospheric pressures
  • Ethanol, Methanol high viscosity
  • flammability Ethanol, Methanol
  • toxicity toxicity
  • the critical temperature and critical pressure show that all the fluids listed in Table 1 are possible to be applied in the thermodynamic condition of interest, i.e. at a temperature of around 22°C. Special attention is required for C0 2 , since above 31 °C it works in a super-critical region, where distinct liquid and gaseous phases do not exist.
  • the triple point is also an important parameter to be taken into account, since during transport of a final product negative ambient temperatures can be achieved and a working fluid can solidify, consequently damaging the cooling system.
  • the triple point is relatively high and these fluids could freeze during shipping of such systems in cold weather.
  • R245fa and R1233zd (E) are the most advantageous dielectric fluids to be used as the cooling medium 92, which showed a low pressure drop for a range of relatively high mass flow rates, and a high density ratio.
  • two-phase cooling has a high uniformity in temperature of the cooling medium (due to the latent heat transfer, and consequently very uniform temperature of the components to be cooled) and also low pumping power.
  • the working fluids R1233zd (E), R1234yf, R1234ze, R236fa, R245fa, R134a and Novec 7000 present the highest values of latent heat, while the viscosity of R134a, R1234yf and R1234ze and, thus, the pressure drop in the system is lower than for Novec 7000.
  • the dielectric fluid R134a is the most advantageous one after water, but without the shortcomings of water (high risk of damage of the optical system and electronics in the presence of leakage).
  • R134a has a high specific heat and low viscosity which is essential in single-phase cooling.
  • R134a has a saturation pressure of 6.08 bar at a temperature of 22°C, and thus, could be operated under an operating pressure between approximately 6.1 bar and approximately 10 bar.
