摘要: Multilayer lifetime has emerged as one of the major issues for commercialization extreme-ultraviolet lithography (EUVL). We describe performance an oxidation-resistant capping layer Ru atop multilayers that results in a reflectivity above 69% at 13.2 nm, which is suitable EUVL projection optics and been tested with accelerated electron-beam (EUV) light water-vapor environment. Based on exposure results, we calculated multilayer lifetimes all reflective mirrors typical commercial tool concluded Ru-capped have ∼40× longer than Si-capped multilayers, translates to 3 months many years, depending mirror dose.
