摘要
We describe a laser-plasma source based on a cryogenic xenon liquid-jet target suitable for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) projection lithography. Recent improvements in the stability of the xenon jet allows efficient laser-plasma operation several millimeters away from the nozzle orifice. We present the first preliminary laser-to-EUV conversion efficiencies, although under non-optimized conditions, for the source.
