    摘要: A laser produced plasma (“LPP”) extreme ultraviolet (“EUV”) light source and method of operating same is disclosed which may comprise an EUV plasma production chamber having a chamber wall; a drive laser entrance window in the chamber wall; a drive laser entrance enclosure intermediate the entrance window and a plasma initiation site within the chamber and comprising an entrance enclosure distal end opening; at least one aperture plate intermediate the distal opening and the entrance window comprising at least one drive laser passage aperture. The at least one aperture plate may comprise at least two aperture plates comprising a first aperture plate and a second aperture plate defining an aperture plate interim space. The at least one drive laser aperture passage may comprise at least two drive laser aperture passages. The laser passage aperture may define an opening large enough to let the drive laser beam pass without attenuation and small enough to substantially reduce debris passing through the laser passage aperture in the direction of the entrance window.

    摘要: A coupling arrangement for coupling a light source subsystem with a scanner subsystem in a UV lithography system is disclosed. The arrangement includes a source flange having a plurality of ramped eared flanges coupled to one of the light source subsystem and the scanner subsystem. The arrangement also includes a collar coupled with the other of the light source subsystem and the scanner subsystem. The collar has a plurality of tangs disposed such that inter-tang spacings accommodate insertion of the plurality of eared flanges, wherein at least one of the source flange and the collar is rotatable to permit the plurality of ramped eared flanges to cam against the plurality of tangs, thereby coupling the light source subsystems to the scanner subsystem.

    摘要: An EUV light source and method of operating same is disclosed which may comprise: an EUV plasma production chamber comprising a chamber wall comprising an exit opening for the passage of produced EUV light focused to a focus point; a first EUV exit sleeve comprising a terminal end comprising an opening facing the exit opening; a first exit sleeve chamber housing the first exit sleeve and having an EUV light exit opening; a gas supply mechanism supplying gas under a pressure higher than the pressure within the plasma production chamber to the first exit sleeve chamber. The first exit sleeve may be tapered toward the terminal end opening, and may, e.g., be conical in shape comprising a narrowed end at the terminal end.
