    Abstract: A method is disclosed for in-situ monitoring of an EUV mirror to determine a degree of optical degradation. The method may comprise the steps/acts of irradiating at least a portion of the mirror with light having a wavelength outside the EUV spectrum, measuring at least a portion of the light after the light has reflected from the mirror, and using the measurement and a pre-determined relationship between mirror degradation and light reflectivity to estimate a degree of multi-layer mirror degradation. Also disclosed is a method for preparing a near-normal incidence, EUV mirror which may comprise the steps/acts of providing a metallic substrate, diamond turning a surface of the substrate, depositing at least one intermediate material overlying the surface using a physical vapor deposition technique, and depositing a multi-layer mirror coating overlying the intermediate material.

    Abstract: In a first aspect, a method of fabricating an EUV light source mirror is disclosed which may comprise the acts/steps of providing a plurality of discrete substrates; coating each substrate with a respective multilayer coating; securing the coated substrates in an arrangement wherein each coated substrate is oriented to a common focal point; and thereafter polishing at least one of the multilayer coatings. In another aspect, an optic for use with EUV light is disclosed which may comprise a substrate; a smoothing layer selected from the group of materials consisting of Si, C, Si3N4, B4C, SiC and Cr, the smoothing layer material being deposited using highly energetic deposition conditions and a multilayer dielectric coating. In another aspect, a corrosion resistant, multilayer coating for an EUV mirror may comprise alternating layers of Si and a compound material having nitrogen and a 5th period transition metal.
