    摘要: According to a first embodiment of the invention, a dual cathode electrode for generating EUV light is disclosed. The dual cathode electrode may include a first outer cathode, a second inner cathode, and an anode disposed between the inner and outer cathodes. The dual cathode electrode also includes a plasma disposed in between the cathodes that emits EUV photons when it is excited by an arc between the anode and the cathodes. According to a second embodiment of the invention, several Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) electrodes are placed along a circle. The DPF electrodes, when activated, will emit electron photons from the circle in which they are placed thereby avoiding obscuration used to protect UV mirrors against debris.

    摘要: According to an embodiment of the invention, an adjustable EUV light source may be used for photolithography. The EUV light source, such as an electrode, is mounted in an adjustable housing. The housing can be adjusted to change the distance between the light source and focusing mirrors, which in turn changes the partial coherence value of the system. The partial coherence value can be changed to print different types of semiconductor features.
