Abstract
Laser plasma is a unique source of high brightness ( > 1010 W/cm2) and pulsive ( <10-9 sec. ) x rays. X-ray spectrum and intensity can be controlled by carefully choosing various experimental parameters such as laser wavelength, target material, and laser pulse width. These detailed knowledge of laser plasma x rays (LAPLAX) may be used for many applications. X-ray lithography is one such example, which is to achieve less than a few thousand Å spatial resolution. Making use of LAPLAX,we propose a conceptual design of an x-ray lithography system.
