Abstract

The invention discloses a precision measurement system for a relative time difference of two-channel feedback signals. The precision measurement system comprises a TDC (time-to-digital conversion) system and a relative time difference pulse signal acquisition module for the two-channel feedback signals. The two-channel feedback signals are filtered, compared and isolated prior to being sent to the relative time difference pulse signal acquisition module, so that relative time difference pulse signals of the two-channel feedback signals are obtained; and then the relative time difference pulse signals are sent to the TDC system and processed by the same, the TDC system is communicated with an MCU (microprogrammed control unit) through an SPI (serial peripheral interface) and sends a pulse signal difference to the MCU, and the pulse signal difference is displayed by a nixie tube. The precision measurement system is capable of precisely measuring the dual-chamber discharge time difference of an MOPA (master oscillator power amplifier) and controlling the errors within 1ns and sends the time difference to a synchronous system, so that the purpose of MOPA dual-chamber synchronous discharge adjustment is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of dual-cavity discharge synchronization of excimer lasers, in particular to the synchronous control of MOPA dual-cavity gas discharge of a high-repetition-frequency ArF excimer laser used as a photolithography light source, and specifically relates to an accurate measurement system for the relative time difference of two feedback signals. Background technique [0002] At present, excimer laser is the main light source for lithography of large-scale semiconductor integrated circuits. With the increase of light source output power and linewidth requirements for lithography, it is difficult for single-cavity excimer lasers to meet the requirements of linewidth and power at the same time. The main oscillator-oscillation amplification technology of dual-cavity structure is introduced to solve this contradiction. The basic idea is to use the seed cavity to generate small-energy narrow-linewidth seed light, inject it into ...
