摘要:

高功率极紫外(EUV)光源是纳米级集成电路大规模量产的关键技术。在过去几十年中,激光产生等离子体(LPP)光源已在该领域得到广泛应用。然而,当前的LPP光源可能无法提供足够的平均功率,以支持未来3纳米节点及以下制程的生产。在此背景下,基于加速器的光源被视为极紫外光刻的有前景工具。本文提出了一种由超导能量回收直线加速器(ERL)驱动的、具有谐波激射的再生放大器自由电子激光极紫外光源。通过利用第n次谐波,所需电子束能量降低至传统方案的1/√n。所提出的配置采用约0.33 GeV的电子束能量和短周期(16毫米)波荡器,预计可提供约2千瓦的平均极紫外功率。与其他基于加速器的方案相比,该方法显著降低了所需电子能量和设施规模,从而为利用低能量ERL构建高功率极紫外光源提供了新的可能性。

英文摘要:

A critical technology for high-volume manufacturing of nanoscale integrated circuits is a high-power extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source. Over the past decades, laser-produced plasma (LPP) sources have been actively utilized in this field. However, current LPP light sources may provide insufficient average power to enable future manufacturing at the 3 nm node and below. In this context,accelerator-based light sources are being considered as promising tools for EUV lithography. This paper proposes a regenerative amplifier free-electron laser EUV source with harmonic lasing, drivenby a superconducting energy-recovery linac (ERL). By utilizing the nth harmonic, the required electron beam energy is reduced to 1/sqrt(n) of that in conventional schemes. The proposed configuration, employing an electron beam energy of approximately 0.33 GeV with a short-period (16 mm) undulator, is estimated to provide an average EUV power of about 2 kW. This approach significantly reduces the required electron energy and facility size relative to other accelerator-based proposals,thereby offering new possibilities for constructing high-power EUV sources with low-energy ERLs.
