Abstract

See full text

A method includes irradiating a target droplet in an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source of an extreme ultraviolet lithography tool with non-ionizing light from a droplet illumination module. The method further includes detecting light reflected and/or scattered by the target droplet, and performing particle image velocimetry, based on the detected light, to determine a velocity of the target droplet. The method also includes adjusting a time delay between a generation of the target droplet and a generation of an excitation laser beam based on the velocity of the target droplet.
