Toward Thomson Scattering Measurements of Electron Properties of Laser-Produced Extreme Ultraviolet Plasma Light Sources

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Lithography constitutes a crucial advance in semiconductor manufacturing, marking a shift to nanoelectronics. EUV lithography machines utilize light sources at 13.5 nm wavelength to achieve a finer resolution of the printed features. Such a short wavelength of light is currently generated by laser-produced tin microdroplet plasmas. This paper presents progress in building a Thomson scattering system to probe the dynamics of electron properties in these laser-produced plasmas. A droplet generator system is built and commissioned. We demonstrate time-resolved Thomson scattering measurements of the electron feature in argon at atmospheric pressure. Both collective and non-collective Thomson scattering spectra are observed.
