4 have developed a soft-X-ray/EUV microscope in the water window that achieves sub-visible-light resolution. The microscope consists of a laser-plasma source and zone-plate optics to focus the ...
There is also the question of how to generate EUV light. As mentioned above, the mirrors in the projection optics only reflect 72% of the incident EUV radiation at best. A typical projection lens ...
A research partnership led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has been formed to investigate the next evolution of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. The team will participate in the ...
Figure 2. Our EUV diffractive imaging experiment setup. A 100 W pulsed infrared (IR) drive laser generates only about 1 μW EUV radiation (10 11 EUV photons per second) at the gas jet. This ...
TSMC's upcoming process technologies — N2 (2nm-class) and A16 (1.6nm-class) — will rely solely on traditional EUV equipment with optics featuring a 0.33 numerical aperture (Low-NA).
