Method For Fabricating Beryllium-Based Multilayer Structures

View page
US Patent:
6521101, Feb 18, 2003
Filed:
Dec 9, 1996
Appl. No.:
08/762572
Inventors:
Kenneth M. Skulina - Livermore CA
Richard M. Bionta - Livermore CA
Daniel M. Makowiecki - Livermore CA
Craig S. Alford - Tracy CA
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
C23C 1434
US Classification:
20419227, 20419215, 20419226
Abstract:
Beryllium-based multilayer structures and a process for fabricating beryllium-based multilayer mirrors, useful in the wavelength region greater than the beryllium K-edge (111 or 11. 1 nm). The process includes alternating sputter deposition of beryllium and a metal, typically from the fifth row of the periodic table, such as niobium (Nb), molybdenum (Mo), ruthenium (Ru), and rhodium (Rh). The process includes not only the method of sputtering the materials, but the industrial hygiene controls for safe handling of beryllium. The mirrors made in accordance with the process may be utilized in soft x-ray and extreme-ultraviolet projection lithography, which requires mirrors of high reflectivity ( 60%) for x-rays in the range of 60-140 (60-14. 0 nm).

US Patent:
53823427, Jan 17, 1995
Filed:
Jan 14, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/004767
Inventors:
Richard M. Bionta - Livermore CA
Daniel M. Makowiecki - Livermore CA
Kenneth M. Skulina - Livermore CA
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Department of Energy - Washington DC
International Classification:
C23C 1400
US Classification:
20419226
Abstract:
A process for fabricating high efficiency x-ray lenses that operate in the 0. 5-4. 0 keV region suitable for use in biological imaging, surface science, and x-ray lithography of integrated circuits. The gradient index x-ray optics fabrication process broadly involves co-sputtering multi-layers of film on a wire, followed by slicing and mounting on block, and then ion beam thinning to a thickness determined by periodic testing for efficiency. The process enables the fabrication of transmissive gradient index x-ray optics for the 0. 5-4. 0 keV energy range. This process allows the fabrication of optical elements for the next generation of imaging and x-ray lithography instruments m the soft x-ray region.
