Laser plasma source for extreme ultraviolet lithography using a water droplet target

A laser produced extreme ultraviolet (EUV) source based on a water droplet target has been implemented an auxiliary electrode system between the source and the first collector mirror. The auxiliary electrode system creates a repeller electric field, possibly a dc voltage imposed on the mirror that slows down and reverses the trajectories of ions from the source before they impact the collection mirror. The source modified according to the invention was evaluated with respect to the demands of EUV lithography and found to have much extended operational lifetimes. The spectral distribution of the generated radiation as well as the conversion efficiency into line radiation at 13 nm was determined. Long time measurements of the reflectivity of silicon / molybdenum multilayer mirrors for up to from 107 to 109 shots show the useful influence of the treatment of ions emitted from the source. Several methods of debris reduction were tested and discussed. Surface analysis of the treated multilayer mirrors of is presented. Long time measurements of the reflectivity of silicon / molybdenum multilayer mirrors for up to 109 shots show the advantage provided by this invention.

Polymer adhesive seals for protected anode architectures

Protected anode architectures for active metal anodes have a polymer adhesive seal that provides an hermetic enclosure for the active metal of the protected anode inside an anode compartment. The compartment is substantially impervious to ambient moisture and battery components such as catholyte (electrolyte about the cathode), and prevents volatile components of the protected anode, such as anolyte (electrolyte about the anode), from escaping. The architecture is formed by joining the protected anode to an anode container. The polymer adhesive seals provide an hermetic seal at the joint between a surface of the protected anode and the container.

Transmission/reception arrangement and method for reducing nonlinearities in output signals from a transmission/reception arrangement

The invention proposes a transmission / reception arrangement (1) which contains a respective distortion unit (5, 6) for the transmission and reception paths (2, 3) and also a calibration apparatus (7). By sending a test signal in an operating mode for calibration and returning the test signal processed in the transmission path (2) to the reception path, it is possible to evaluate the error signals in the transmission and reception paths. In line with the principle proposed, this is done by evaluating the spectral components of the returned received signal which each represent single sources of error in the transmission or reception path. This allows calculation of calibration parameters for suppressing these errors both in the transmission path and in the reception path.
