METHODS OF USING POLISHED SILICON WAFER STRIPS FOR EUV HOMOGENIZER

摘要

The present invention is a light homogenizer or light tunnel with highly reflective sides that enable the focusing of EUV illumination. The sides of the homogenizer are cut from a highly polished silicon wafer. The wafer is coated with a reflective coating before the strips are cut from the wafer. The invention also includes a method for flattening the strips and applying a backing to the strips enabling easier manipulation of the strips during assembly and use.
