Title:
LITHOGRAPHIC METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2018185534
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control power of a free electron laser generated radiation received by a lithographic apparatus.SOLUTION: A method for patterning lithographic substrates comprises the steps of using a free electron laser to generate EUV radiation, and delivering the EUV radiation to a lithographic apparatus which projects the EUV radiation onto lithographic substrates. The method further comprises a step of reducing fluctuations in power of the EUV radiation delivered to the lithographic substrates by using a feedback-based control loop to monitor the free electron laser and adjust operation of the free electron laser accordingly.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
