E. Louis et al., ENHANCEMENT OF REFLECTIVITY OF MULTILAYER MIRRORS FOR SOFT-X-RAY PROJECTION LITHOGRAPHY BY TEMPERATURE OPTIMIZATION AND ION-BOMBARDMENT, Microelectronic engineering, 23(1-4), 1994, pp. 215-218
In this paper we discuss two techniques to optimize the quality of mul
tilayer x-ray mirrors, namely optimization of the temperature of the s
ubstrates during deposition and ion-bombardment of the layers. We prod
uced Mo/Si multilayers applying both methods and present the effect on
the near normal incidence reflectivity for lambda=13-14 nm radiation.
Furthermore an analysis of the homogeneity of the deposited layers is
given.
