Abstract:
An extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light generator includes a collecting mirror having a first focal point and a second focal point, the first focal point being closer to the collecting mirror than the second focal point, a laser to generate a laser beam and to radiate the laser beam toward the first focal point of the collecting mirror, and a droplet generator to generate a droplet and to discharge the droplet at the first focal point of the collecting mirror, wherein the collecting mirror includes a concave reflective surface, a through hole in a center of the reflective surface, and a drip hole between the through hole and an outer circumferential surface of the reflective surface.
Abstract:
A phase shift mask for extreme ultraviolet lithography includes a substrate, a reflective layer on the substrate, a capping layer on the reflective layer, a buffer pattern on the capping layer, the buffer pattern including an opening exposing a surface of the capping layer, and an absorber pattern on the buffer pattern, the absorber pattern including a refractive index less than a refractive index of the buffer pattern and a thickness greater than a thickness of the buffer pattern. The buffer pattern includes a material having an etch selectivity with respect to the absorber pattern and the capping layer.
