METHOD FOR USING RADIATION SOURCE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18151930 titled 'METHOD FOR USING RADIATION SOURCE APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation source in a lithography process. After the lithography process, an extraction tube is inserted into the EUV radiation source to clean its collector.
- The method involves using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation source in a lithography process.
- After the lithography process, an extraction tube is inserted into the EUV radiation source.
- The extraction tube is used to clean the collector of the EUV radiation source.
Potential Applications
- Semiconductor manufacturing: The method can be used in the production of semiconductor devices, where lithography processes are crucial.
- Nanotechnology: The use of EUV radiation source can enable precise and accurate fabrication of nanostructures.
Problems Solved
- Collector cleaning: The method provides a solution for cleaning the collector of an EUV radiation source, which can become contaminated during the lithography process.
- Maintaining performance: By cleaning the collector, the method helps to maintain the performance and efficiency of the EUV radiation source.
Benefits
- Improved lithography process: The use of EUV radiation source can enhance the quality and precision of the lithography process.
- Extended lifespan: Regular cleaning of the collector can prolong the lifespan of the EUV radiation source.
- Cost-effective: By cleaning the collector instead of replacing it, the method offers a cost-effective solution for maintaining the EUV radiation source.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for using an extreme ultraviolet radiation source is provided. The method includes performing a lithography process using an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation source; after the lithography processes, inserting an extraction tube into a vessel of the EUV radiation source; and cleaning a collector of the EUV radiation source by using the extraction tube.
