Tallents}, title = {High Repetition Rate Krf Laser Plasma X-Ray Source for Microlithography}, abstract = {As part of a development programme for a high-intensity laser-plasma X-ray source, experiments have been carried out using a high repetition rate excimer laser (up to 100 Hz; 249 nm, 300 mJ). Remedies are given to problems inherent to operating this type of source at high repetition rates. The combined remedies eliminate the target debris problem. X-ray mask structures down to 0.5-mu-m have been imaged. After implementation of tested upgrades, this source will enable exposures within ten seconds per stepfield.}, year = {1992}, journal = {Microelectronic Engineering}, volume = {17}, number = {1-4}, pages = {219-222}, month = {Mar}, isbn = {0167-9317}, doi = {10.1016/0167-9317(92)90045-s}, language = {eng}, }
