摘要: EUV (极紫外)光源是EUV光刻机的核心部件, 其原理是基于纳秒脉冲激光轰击锡液滴靶产生的等离子体辐射发光. EUV光源本质是一种流体光源, 涉及丰富而复杂的流体力学基本问题, 跨越从皮秒到毫秒的四个特征时间尺度. 本文综述了面向EUV光源的实验流体力学研究进展. 首先根据靶的类型, 分别介绍了射流、液滴和液膜靶的生成与调控基本原理和技术路线. 之后对三种靶与激光相互作用过程的特征时刻与典型现象进行了梳理, 重点放在各个特征时间尺度内激光轰击液滴靶的研究进展, 总结了不同参数激光脉冲轰击后靶的推进、变形和破碎规律. 最后对EUV光源中值得重点关注的实验流体力学关键问题进行了总结和展望, 提出改善激光等离子体EUV光源稳定性、亮度和寿命需要从以下三方面持续开展研究: 高频率、小直径、长间距液滴靶串的精准生成和调控, 激光辐照产生等离子体的膨胀和辐射规律, 以及液滴靶变形破碎机理和碎屑抑制、收集及清洁技术.Abstract: The extreme ultraviolet (EUV) source is the enabling component of the EUV lithography. The commercialized EUV source is based on laser produced plasma from tin droplet target. EUV source is essentially a fluid-state light source, which involves rich and complex fundamental fluid mechanics problems with four characteristic time scales ranging from picoseconds to milliseconds. This review surveys the research progress of experimental fluid dynamics for EUV sources. First, the fundamental and technical aspects of the generation and control of jet, droplet and liquid film targets are introduced. Second, the dynamic response of the three types of targets to pulsed lasers were summarized, with an emphasis on droplet targets. Finally, in order to improve the stability, brightness and life the EUV sources, three key research topics in experimental fluid mechanics worthy of attention are proposed: (i) the precise generation and manipulation of fine tin droplet targes with long spacing at high frequencies; (ii) the quantitative physical picture of the expansion and radiation of the laser produced plasma, and (iii) the deformation and fragmentation mechanism of droplet targets and suppression, collection and cleaning technologies for debris.
