摘要： A high resolution etalon-grating spectrometer or monochromator. A preferred embodiment presents as extremely narrow slit function in the ultraviolet range and is very useful for measuring bandwidth of narrow band excimer lasers used for integrated circuit lithography. Light from the laser is focused into a diffuser (D) and the diffused light exiting the diffuser illuminates an etalon (ET). A portion of its light exiting the etalon is collected and directed into a slit positioned at a fringe pattern of the etalon. Light passing through the slit is collimated (L3) and the collimated light illuminates a grating (GR1) positioned in an approximately Littrow configuration which disperses the light according to wavelength. A portion of the dispersed light representing the wavelength corresponding to the selected etalon fringe is passed through a second slit (2) and monitored by a light detector (PMT). When the etalon and the grating are tuned to the same precise wavelength a slit function is defined which is extremely narrow as about 0.034pm "FWHM" and about 0.091pm "95 percent integral". The etalon and the grating are placed in a leak-tight containment (50) filled with a gas, such a nitrogen or helium.

摘要： A process for controlling pulse energy in burst of pulses produced by an excimer laser. The energy of each pulse in each burst is measured. The rate of change of pulse energy with charging voltage is determined. A pulse energy error is determined for a previous pulse of the present burst. An integrated dose error is also determined for all previous pulses in the current burst. A charging voltage for the next pulse is determined using the pulse energy error, the integrated dose error, the rate of change of energy with charging voltage and a reference voltage. In a preferred embodiment, the rate of change of energy with voltage is determined by dithering the voltage during two pulses of each burst, once lower and once higher. The reference voltage is a voltage calculated using prior voltage and energy data. In this embodiment the method of determining the reference voltage during a first portion of the pulse is different from the method used during a latter portion of the burst. During the first set of pulses, for each pulse, (40 in this embodiment) a specified voltage calculated using voltage and energy data from a corresponding pulse in a previous burst is utilized as a prediction of the voltage needed to produce a pulse energy converging on a target pulse energy. For pulses (41) and thereafter the reference voltage for each pulse is the specified voltage for the previous pulse.

摘要： A technique for bandwidth control of an electric discharge laser (2A). Line narrowing equipment is provided having at least one piezoelectric drive (14B1 - 14B5) and a fast bandwidth detection means and a bandwidth control having a time response of less than about 1.0 millisecond. In a preferred embodiment wavelength tuning mirrors (14C1 - 14C5) are dithered at dither rates of more than 500 dithers per second within a very narrow range of pivot angles to cause a dither in the wavelength values to produce a desired effective bandwidth of series of laser pulses.

摘要： An EUV light source apparatus and method are disclosed, which may comprise a pulsed laser providing laser pulses at a selected pulse repetition rate focused at a desired target ignition site; a target formation system providing discrete targets at a selected interval coordinated with the laser pulse repetition rate; a target steering system intermediate the target formation system and the desired target ignition site; and a target tracking system providing information about the movement of target between the target formation system and the target steering system, enabling the target steering system to direct the target to the desired target ignition site. The target tracking system may provide information enabling the creation of a laser firing control signal, and may comprise a droplet detector comprising a collimated light source directed to intersect a point on a projected delivery path of the target, having a respective oppositely disposed light detector detecting the passage of the target through the respective point, or a detector comprising a linear array of a plurality of photo-sensitive elements aligned to a coordinate axis, the light from the light source intersecting a projected delivery path of the target, at least one of the which may comprise a plane-intercept detection device. The droplet detectors may comprise a plurality of droplet detectors each operating at a different light frequency, or a camera having a field of view and a two dimensional array of pixels imaging the field of view. The apparatus and method may comprise an electrostatic plasma containment apparatus providing an electric plasma confinement field at or near a target ignition site at the time of ignition, with the target tracking system providing a signal enabling control of the electrostatic plasma containment apparatus. The apparatus and method may comprise a vessel having and intermediate wall with a low pressure trap allowing passage of EUV light and maintaining a differential pressure across the low pressure trap. The apparatus and method may comprise a magnetic plasma confinement mechanism creating a magnetic field in the vicinity of the target ignition site to confine the plasma to the target ignition site, which may be pulsed and may be controlled using outputs from the target tracking system.
