`
`Electrodeless Z-Pinch"
`
`10 Watt EUV Source
`
`Product Description
`
`Researchers into the emerging technoiogy of EUV lithography
`
`need a source of EUV photons for a variety of applications. Existing
`
`sources of light are often too low in power, unreliable in operation,
`
`large, costly and complex. Soft x-rays (SXR) for water—window mi-
`
`croscopy are not readily available today outside synchrotron faciti—
`ties.
`
`The EQ—1OM is a compact, easy—to—use, reliable and cost-
`
`effective EUV and SXR light source system, based on Energetiq’s
`
`unique Electrodeless Z—pinchm technology using either Xenon or
`
`Nitrogen gas.
`
`The Energetiq EQ—1OM is integrated into a single 19" rack
`
`format to minimize the system footprint. The system includes the
`
`electrodeless Z—pinch source assembly, vacuum and gas sub-
`
`systems, power delivery subsystem and control electronics. The
`
`EQ—1OM is capable of delivering up to 10 watts of in-band EUV into
`
`2pi steradians and will run continuously at pulse repetition rates of
`
`up to 1kHz or in bursts of up to 1kHz pulses if required.
`
`To accommodate the differing requirements of the various
`
`applications, the source operating conditions are user—adjustable.
`
`The light output can be optimized for peak power or for peak
`
`brightness as required by the user. Plasma size is typically below
`
`1mm in diameter under typical operating conditions.
`
`A simple and flexible optical interface is provided to the user on
`
`the side of the system enclosure to connect to the application
`
`equipment. Custom interfaces are available to meet specific
`
`customer requirements.
`
`The user interface operates by a color touch screen display,
`
`and incorporates menus allowing manual and automatic operation.
`
`The EQ—10M is easy to install, requiring only electrical power, a
`
`chilled water supply, clean dry compressed air and a supply of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Xenon or Nitrogen.

`Electrodeless Z-Pinch" Technology
`
`
`
`Z—pinch plasmas have been
`
`shown in literature to be effective
`
`Energetiq’s unique technology is
`
`also based on a Z-pinch plasma,
`
`
`
`at producing EUV and SXR light.

`
`However, all the implementations
`
`inductively coupling the current
`
`to-date have involved conducting
`
`into the plasma. The plasma in

`high discharge currents into the
