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.
