Abstract
An EUV chamber apparatus includes: a chamber; a target generation unit configured to output a target toward a predetermined region inside the chamber; a gas nozzle through which gas is supplied into the chamber; and a shroud including a first flow path through which a first cooling medium circulates and surrounding at least part of the trajectory of the target inside the chamber.
Claims19
An EUV chamber apparatus comprising:
- a chamber;
- a target generation unit configured to output a target toward a predetermined region inside the chamber;
- a gas nozzle through which gas is supplied into the chamber;
- an EUV light condensing mirror disposed inside the chamber;
- and
- a shroud including a first flow path through which a first cooling medium circulates and surrounding at least part of a trajectory of the target inside the chamber;
- wherein the first flow path includes a first part positioned close to the EUV light condensing mirror and a second part positioned farther from the EUV light condensing mirror than the first part, the first part being positioned upstream of the second part.
An electronic device manufacturing method comprising, in an extreme ultraviolet light generation system including
- a chamber,
- a target generation unit configured to output a target toward a predetermined region inside the chamber,
- a laser apparatus configured to irradiate the target with a pulse laser beam to generate plasma from the target,
- an EUV light condensing mirror disposed inside the chamber,
- a gas nozzle through which gas is supplied into the chamber, and
- a shroud including a first flow path through which a first cooling medium circulates and surrounding at least part of a trajectory of the target inside the chamber, wherein the first flow path includes a first part positioned close to the EUV light condensing mirror and a second part positioned farther from the EUV light condensing mirror than the first part, the first part being positioned upstream of the second part:
- irradiating the target with the pulse laser beam to generate extreme ultraviolet light;
- outputting the extreme ultraviolet light to an exposure apparatus;
- and
- exposing a photosensitive substrate to the extreme ultraviolet light in the exposure apparatus to manufacture an electronic device.
An EUV chamber apparatus comprising:
- a chamber;
- a target generation unit configured to output a target toward a predetermined region inside the chamber;
- a gas nozzle through which gas is supplied into the chamber;
- a shroud including a first flow path through which a first cooling medium circulates and surrounding at least part of a trajectory of the target inside the chamber;
- a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the shroud;
- a first temperature adjustment device configured to adjust a temperature of the first cooling medium;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the first temperature adjustment device based on an output from the temperature sensor.
An extreme ultraviolet light generation system comprising:
- a chamber;
- a target generation unit configured to output a target toward a predetermined region inside the chamber;
- a laser apparatus configured to irradiate the target with a pulse laser beam to generate plasma from the target;
- an EUV light condensing mirror disposed inside the chamber;
- a gas nozzle through which gas is supplied into the chamber;
- and
- a shroud including a first flow path through which a first cooling medium circulates and surrounding at least part of a trajectory of the target inside the chamber,
- wherein the first flow path includes a first part positioned close to the EUV light condensing mirror and a second part positioned farther from the EUV light condensing mirror than the first part, the first part being positioned upstream of the second part.
