Abstract:Promising wavelengths for next-generation lithography with a wavelength shorter than 13.5 nm based on a synchrotron X-ray source are discussed. Theoretical and experimental values of the reflection coefficients of multilayer X-ray mirrors providing the maximum reflectivity in the range of 11.4-3.1 nm are presented. The theoretical efficiency of multilayer optics is compared for different wavelengths.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
