Title

Physical properties of the HCT EUV source

Abstract
The paper describes recent progress on the development of an EUV source based on a hollow cathode triggered gas discharge (HCT). The principle of operation has been described in previous publications. When operated with Xe, a repetition frequency up to 4 kHz, conversion efficiency of 0.55% inband radiation in 2 pi and a pinch size below 3 mm in length was demonstrated. Today's requirements on a commercial EUV source for volume production of wafers still exceed the current performance by large factors both in terms of output power and life time. This paper will discuss the roadmap to high power and will also show elements of the way to extended life time. Particular focus will be put onto the physical limits of Xe as radiator and the advantages of using Sn instead. It will be demonstrated that the spectral efficiency of Sn is a factor of 3 higher than Xe.
