`Electrodeless Z-Pinch™
`10 Watt EUV Source
`Product Description
`Researchers into the emerging technology of EUV lithography
`need a source of EUV photons for a variety of applications. Existing
`sources of light are often too low in power, unreliable in operation,
`large, costly and complex. Soft x-rays (SXR) for water-window mi-
`croscopy are not readily available today outside synchrotron facili-
`ties.
`The EQ-10M is a compact, easy-to-use, reliable and cost-
`effective EUV and SXR light source system, based on Energetiq’s
`unique Electrodeless Z-pinch™ technology using either Xenon or
`Nitrogen gas.
`The Energetiq EQ-10M is integrated into a single 19” rack
`format to minimize the system footprint. The system includes the
`electrodeless Z-pinch source assembly, vacuum and gas sub-
`systems, power delivery subsystem and control electronics. The
`EQ-10M is capable of delivering up to 10 watts of in-band EUV into
`2pi steradians and will run continuously at pulse repetition rates of
`up to 1kHz or in bursts of up to 1kHz pulses if required.
`To accommodate the differing requirements of the various
`applications, the source operating conditions are user-adjustable.
`The light output can be optimized for peak power or for peak
`brightness as required by the user. Plasma size is typically below
`1mm in diameter under typical operating conditions.
`A simple and flexible optical interface is provided to the user on
`the side of the system enclosure to connect to the application
`equipment. Custom interfaces are available to meet specific
`customer requirements.
`The user interface operates by a color touch screen display,
`and incorporates menus allowing manual and automatic operation.
`The EQ-10M is easy to install, requiring only electrical power, a
`chilled water supply, clean dry compressed air and a supply of
`Xenon or Nitrogen.
