    摘要: Reducing line edge roughness by particle beam exposure is generally described. In one example, a method includes forming one or more line structures on a surface of a semiconductor substrate, aligning the one or more line structures to a beam path of a particle beam such that particles of the particle beam travel within 45 degrees of parallel to a lengthwise direction of the one or more line structures, and exposing the one or more line structures to the particle beam to reduce line edge roughness of the one or more line structures wherein an incident angle of the particle beam to the surface of the semiconductor substrate is between about 45 degrees and about 90 degrees, where 0 degrees is normal to the surface of the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: According to an embodiment of the invention, extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photolithography is performed using lobster eye transmission optics. A light source, such as a source plasma, is located at the center of a circle. Several mirror segments are arranged on an arc of the circle. The mirror segments may be arranged so that the light generated by the light source is collimated after being reflected. The light source may be a source plasma capable of generating EUV photons.

    摘要: Erosion of material in an electrode in a plasma-produced extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source may be reduced by treating the surface of the electrode. Grooves may be provided in the electrode surface to increase re-deposition of electrode material in the grooves. The electrode surface may be coated with a porous material to reduce erosion due to brittle destruction. The electrode surface may be coated with a pseudo-alloy to reduce erosion from surface waves caused by the plasma in molten material on the surface of the electrode.

    摘要: Passivation coatings and gettering agents may be used in an Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) source which uses tin (Sn) vapor as a plasma “fuel” to prevent contamination and corresponding loss of reflectivity due to tin contamination. The passivation coating may be a material to which tin does not adhere, and may be placed on reflective surfaces in the source chamber. The gettering agent may be a material that reacts strongly with tin, and may be placed outside of the collector mirrors and/or on non-reflective surfaces. A passivation coating may also be provided on the insulator between the anode and cathode of the source electrodes to prevent shorting due to tin coating the insulator surface.
