    摘要: An apparatus for creating an EUV light may include a droplet-supplying unit, a laser-irradiating unit, a light-concentrating unit and a guiding unit. The droplet-supplying unit may supply a droplet from which the EUV light may be created. The laser-irradiating unit may irradiate a laser to the droplet supplied from the droplet-supplying unit to create the EUV light. The light-concentrating unit may concentrate the EUV light created by the laser-irradiating unit. The guiding unit may guide the droplet to a position at which the laser may be irradiated. The guiding unit may have at least one gas-spraying hole for spraying a gas to a space between the droplet-supplying unit and the laser irradiation position to form a gas curtain configured to surround the droplet.

    摘要: The energy distribution of exposure light directed passing through the slit of an exposure apparatus is determined. A photoresist layer on a substrate is exposed over a plurality of shots while changing the intensity of the exposure light for each shot. Then the photoresist layer is developed to form a sample photoresist layer. An image of the developed sample photoresist layer is analyzed for color intensity. Values of the color intensity across a selected one of the shots are correlated with values of the intensity of the exposure light to produce an energy distribution of the exposure light along the length of the slit. The energy distribution is used to change the slit so that a more desirable energy distribution may be realized when the slit is used in a process of manufacturing a semiconductor device.
