    • 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.
    • 用于通过准分子激光器产生的脉冲脉冲串来控制脉冲能量的过程。 测量每个脉冲中每个脉冲的能量。 确定脉冲能量随充电电压的变化率。 针对当前脉冲串的先前脉冲确定脉冲能量误差。 还针对当前突发中的所有先前脉冲确定积分剂量误差。 使用脉冲能量误差,积分剂量误差,带充电电压的能量变化率和参考电压来确定下一个脉冲的充电电压。 在优选实施例中,通过在每个脉冲串的两个脉冲期间抖动电压来确定能量与电压的变化率,一次较低和一次更高。 参考电压是使用先前的电压和能量数据计算的电压。 在该实施例中,在脉冲的第一部分期间确定参考电压的方法与在脉冲串的后一部分期间使用的方法不同。 在第一组脉冲期间,对于每个脉冲(在本实施例中为40)使用来自先前脉冲串中的相应脉冲的电压和能量数据计算的指定电压被用作产生脉冲能量收敛所需的电压的预测 目标脉冲能量。 对于脉冲(41),此后每个脉冲的参考电压是先前脉冲的指定电压。

    • A high energy, high repetition rate workpiece surface heating method and apparatus are disclosed which may comprise a pulsed XeF laser operating operating at or above 4000 Hz and producing a laser output light pulse beam at a center wavelength of about 351 nm; an optical system narrowing the laser output light pulse beam to less than 20 µm in a short axis of the laser output light pulse beam and expanding the laser output light pulse beam to form in a long axis of the beam workpiece covering extent of the long axis; the optical system including a field stop intermediate the laser and the workpiece; the workpiece comprising a layer to be heated; wherein the optical system focuses the laser output light pulse beam at a field stop with a magnification sufficient to maintain an intensity profile that has sufficiently steep side walls to allow the field stop to maintain a sufficiently steep beam profile at the workpiece without blocking the beam profile at too high an intensity level 2. The apparatus may also have a high average power in the laser output light pulse beam as delivered to the workpiece and a linebow correction mechanism in a short axis optical assembly. The linebow correction mechanism may comprise a plurality of weak cross cylinders. The system may comprise a catadioptric projection system.

The system may project adjacent peaks of the nominal XeF spectrum to improve overall depth of focus through the separate center wavelengths of each respective adjacent peak having a different focal plane at the workpiece. The system may comprise a linebow is correction mechanism within a field stop optical assembly correcting linebow at the field stop plane and within a workpiece projection optical assembly correcting linebow at the workpiece plane.

    • A grating based line-narrowing apparatus having a prism beam expander with at least four prisms (26, 28, 30, 32). Each prism is positioned at an incidence angle between 67 and 71 degrees. A single layer coating of high refractive index, robust material, such as A1/2O/3, is applied to the hypotenuse face of each prism, providing an efficient, antireflection coating. In a preferred embodiment the incident angle of the four prisms (26, 28, 30, 32) are each at about 68.2 degrees. The laser (21) of the preferred embodiment has similar line narrowing efficiency and bandwith as that for a laser (21) with a 3 prism, ideal multi-layer anti-reflection coated beam expander. The primary benefit of the new four prism (26, 28, 30, 32) arrangement is that the prism coatings should be much less expensive and have greatly increased durability. Applicants have tested the new prisms for 30 million, 10mJ pulses in air with no noticeable degradation. No present day dielectic multi-layer stack coating could survive such exposure.
