Abstract:
An apparatus and method for generating extreme ultra violet EUV radiation includes a light source providing light to a laser medium to generate a first laser, a droplet generator to provide a droplet to reflect the first laser to one end of the laser medium, a laser generator positioned at the opposite end of the laser medium from that of the droplet and a second laser to expand the droplet or not and to thereby control the conversion efficiency and dose of the EUV generation apparatus.
Abstract:
A reflective extreme ultraviolet (EUV) mask includes a mask substrate, a reflecting layer on an upper surface of the mask substrate, and an absorbing layer pattern on an upper surface of the reflecting layer, the absorbing layer pattern having an exposing region and a peripheral region, and the absorbing layer pattern including a grating pattern in the peripheral region to reduce reflectivity of light incident on the peripheral region.
