Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and test a-periodic multilayer structures with protective capping layers.
  • To enhance stability against capping layer property changes and deposition errors.
  • To maximize EUV reflection efficiency for applications such as EUV lithography.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an evolutive algorithm for designing a-periodic multilayer structures.
  • Fabrication of prototype a-periodic multilayer coatings.
  • Experimental testing using EUV and X-ray reflectometry and secondary electron spectroscopy.
