In order to reduce gas consumption further, Gigaphoton has been developing new gas recycle system hTGM. hTGM purifies used gas so that laser can use it repeatedly. Field evaluation of KrF-hTGM system has been started. The system was connected to five KrF laser systems and achieved 85% of the gas recycling ratio, keeping stable laser performance. Also, internal evaluation of ArF-hTGM system has been started. The system was connected to one ArF laser and achieved 92% of the gas recycling ratio, keeping stable laser performance. |
