Abstract

Gigaphoton develops CO₂-Sn-LPP EUV light source which is the most promising solution as the 13.5nm high power light source for HVM EUVL. Unique and original technologies including; combination of pulsed CO₂ laser and Sn droplets, dual wavelength laser pulses for shooting and debris mitigation by magnetic field have been applied. We have developed first practical source for HVM; "GL200E" in 2014. Then it is demonstrated which high average power CO₂ laser more than 20kW at output power in cooperation with Mitsubishi Electri. Pilot#1 is up running and it demonstrates HVM capability; EUV power recorded at 111W on average (117W in burst stabilized, 95% duty) with 5% conversion efficiency for 22 hour operation in October 2016. Availability is achievable at 89% (2 weeks average), also superior magnetic mitigation has demonstrated promising mirror degradation rate (= 0.5%/Gp) at 100W or higher power operation with dummy mirror test. We have demonstrated actual collector mirror reflectivity degradation rate is less than 0.4%/Gp by using real collector mirror around 125W (at I/F clean) in burst power during 30 Billion pulses operation. Recently we have redefined target power higher <330W and its development plan. Also we will update latest challenges for <330W average operation with actual collector mirror at the conference.
