Popis: Femtosecond-pulsed extreme ultraviolet (EUV) of free-electron laser (FEL) is the most potential candidates for a next-generation EUV lithography light source. However, the physical events and chemical reactions in resist materials, induced by EUV with a short pulse width and high power intensity, have not yet been elucidated. In our previous study, the morphological and chemical changes in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) induced by picosecond-pulsed EUV were investigated using an X-ray laser. The sensitivity of PMMA upon exposure to a 7 ps EUV pulse was much enhanced in comparison with that using conventional EUV sources, which have a typical pulse width of the order of nanoseconds. In this study, the sensitivity of PMMA upon exposure to femtosecond-pulsed EUV was investigated by using FEL to obtain the resist design for next-generation EUV lithography.
