The parts not described in detail in the following embodiments can be realized by using the prior art.

[0033] The discharge plasma (DPP) type light source is the first choice of desktop extreme ultraviolet light source due to its relatively simple structure and high light power. However, due to the extremely wide spectral range of the DPP type light source, covering all spectral band ranges from soft x-ray to visible light, the measurement of the extreme ultraviolet (13.5nm, ±2%) light power in the spectral band range is a difficult problem. Therefore, the present application provides a simple and effective discharge plasma type light source extreme ultraviolet light power measurement method and device.

[0034] REFERENCE Figure 1As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for measuring the extreme ultraviolet light power of a discharge plasma light source, comprising the following steps:

[0035] S1, filtering the ellipsoidal light beam of a wide spectral band range from x-ray to visible light generated by electrode discharge of the DPP light source to form a light beam of a set spectral band range;

[0036] In an embodiment, the ellipsoidal light beam of a wide spectral band range from x-ray to visible light can be filtered to a spectral band range of 1-20 nm.

[0062] In some embodiments, the photodetector measures the light beam filtered by the filter, and calculates the total power of the light beam in the spectral range of 5-370 nm.

[0063] In some embodiments, a current detection module is further arranged behind the photodetector, which measures the current signal output by the photodetector, and calculates the total power of the filtered light beam through the response curve of the photodetector.

[0064] In order to better understand the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, the following will be described in combination with specific preferred application examples:

[0065] Specifically, the measurement method in the embodiment mainly includes DPP light source, photodetector, spectrometer, current detection module and the like. The photodetector and the spectrometer each are provided with a filter, and the two filters are the same in material and principle, but different in mounting manner. The implementation steps are as follows:

[0066] Step 1: Figure 1 The DPP light source generates an ellipsoidal light beam in a wide spectral range from x-ray to visible light through electrode discharge. The light beam is filtered into a light beam in a specific spectral range after passing through the first filter of the spectrometer. The light intensity distribution of the filtered light beam in the spectral range is detected by the spectrometer, and the light power ratio of the extreme ultraviolet light in the spectral range can be calculated by area integration.

[0067] Step 2: The light beam filtered by the second filter on the photodetector is incident on the photodetector, and the light power signal is converted into a current signal. The total power of the light beam in the spectral range is calculated through the response curve of the photodetector.

[0068] Step 3: The extreme ultraviolet light (13.5 nm, ±2%) power of the DPP light source under a specific solid angle is calculated according to the light power ratio and the total power of the light beam obtained in steps 1 and 2.

[0069] Step 4: The extreme ultraviolet light (13.5 nm, ±2%) power in a 2π or 4π solid angle is obtained by integrating the extreme ultraviolet light power of the DPP light source under a specific solid angle obtained in step 3.

[0070] In the embodiment, the DPP light source is the research object of the entire measurement method, which generates an ellipsoidal light beam in a wide spectral range from x-ray to visible light. The first filter in the spectrometer mainly filters the light beam to a spectral range of 1-20 nm, and the filtered light beam passes through the spectrometer.

[0071] Figure 2 The working principle diagram of the spectrometer in the embodiment is shown in FIG. 1. Figure 2As shown, the spectrometer comprises a slit, a grating and a CCD in addition to the first filter. The incident light passes through the first filter and the slit, is diffracted by the grating and reaches the detection plane, and finally the spectrum is recorded by the area array CCD. In order to improve the diffraction efficiency, the grating surface is gold-plated and works in the grazing incidence mode.

[0072] After passing through the spectrometer, the 5-20 nm spectral distribution can be obtained as shown in Figure 3 The power ratio of the extreme ultraviolet light in the spectral band range is calculated by area integration. Referring to Figure 3 As shown, the Xe 5-20 nm spectral distribution obtained by the spectrometer is shown, and the purple marked part is the 4% bandwidth at the wavelength of 13.5 nm.

The light beam filtered by the second filter is measured by the photodetector, the current detection module measures the current signal output by the photodetector, and the total power of the filtered light beam is calculated according to the response curve of the photodetector as shown in Figure 4

[0074] In this embodiment, the response range of the photodetector is between 5-370 nm, and the spectral band of the light beam filtered by the second filter is between 1-20 nm, so the photodetector can obtain the total power in the 5-20 nm spectral band range, and the extreme ultraviolet light (13.5 nm, ±2%) power of the DPP light source based on the above ratio calculation is 0.000069 sr solid angle (the distance between the light source and the detector is 30 cm).

[0075] In the above embodiment of the present application, the measurement of the extreme ultraviolet light power of the discharge plasma type light source is mainly: the light is filtered by the first zirconium film filter (1-20 nm), the filtered light beam is first measured by the spectrometer, and the light intensity distribution of the light beam in the 5-20 nm spectral band range is measured. The light beam filtered by the second zirconium film filter (1-20 nm) is measured by the photodetector, and the total power of the light beam in the 5-370 nm spectral band range is calculated. Finally, the extreme ultraviolet (13.5 nm, ±2) light power of the discharge plasma type light source is calculated by the ratio of the extreme ultraviolet (13.5 nm, ±2) light in the 5-20 nm spectral band range.

[0076] The principle of the above embodiment of the present application can be extended to the measurement of other monochromatic light, which solves the problem of measuring the extreme ultraviolet light power in the spectral band range (13.5 nm, ±2%), and can accurately detect the extreme ultraviolet light (13.5 nm, ±2%) power of the DPP type light source.
