    摘要: The device comprises a device (2) for creating an essentially linear target (4) in an evacuated space where laser beams (1) are focused, the target being suitable for interacting with the focused laser beams (1) to emit a plasma emitting radiation in the extreme ultraviolet. A receiver device (3) receives the target (4) after it has interacted with the focused laser beams (1), and a collector device (110) collects the EUV radiation emitted by the target (4). The focusing elements (11) for focusing the laser beams on the target (4) are arranged in such a manner that the laser beams (1) are focused on the target (4) laterally, being situated in a common half-space relative to the target (4) and being inclined at a determined angle lying in the range about 60° to about 90° relative to a mean collection axis (6) perpendicular to the target (4). The collector device (110) is disposed symmetrically about the mean collection axis (6) in the half-space containing the laser beams (1) focused on the target (4) and inside a conical space (8) centered on the mean collection axis (6) with a vertex situated at the target (4) and a half-angle at the vertex that is less than the angle of inclination of the focused laser beams (1) relative to the mean collection axis (6). The device is suitable for use as a source for EUV radiation in lithography for fabricating integrated circuits.

    摘要: The EUV radiation source of the invention comprises an irradiation chamber (1) containing an irradiation zone (3) into which a stream of radiation-generator material is generated such as a flow of xenon propagating along a direction (II-II) extending transversely relative to an optical axis (I-I). The irradiation zone (3) is in the proximity of a diaphragm (4) oriented on the optical axis (I-I) and putting the irradiation chamber (1) into communication with a transmission chamber (2). Power laser beams (5, 6) strike the stream of radiation-generator material in the irradiation zone (3) and produce EUV radiation which propagates through the diaphragm (4) and which is conditioned in the transmission chamber (2) by elliptical mirrors (13). Differential pumps (11, 12) maintain a pressure P2 in the transmission chamber (2) that is well below the pressure P1 in the irradiation chamber (1). The low pressure in the transmission chamber (2) ensures that the EUV radiation is transmitted with little attenuation to a zone of use, without requiring voluminous high speed pumps (11, 12).

    摘要: A device in accordance with the invention for the emission of X-rays, comprises a vacuum pump the sealed peripheral casing whereof contains a cathode for emitting a flux of electrons, a rotary anode mounted at the end of the shaft of the vacuum pump and a collection device for collecting an emitted electron beam. This considerably reduces the overall size of the X-ray source and, thanks to the very fast and stable rotation of the rotary anode attached to the rotor of the vacuum pump, a source of very great brightness is produced. The rotary anode may be moved axially to compensate the wear that it suffers through the impact of the incident electron beam coming from the cathode. According to the invention the device further comprises at least one cooling element fixed to the vacuum pump stator or to the sealed peripheral casing opposite one of the main radial faces of the rotary anode to absorb radiated heat energy emitted by the rotary anode in operation.
