Abstract

We describe the development of a laser-plasma source based on frozen water droplet targets which is essentially debris- free and capable of continuous, high-repetition-rate (> 1 kHz) operation. Created by modest (< 1 J) laser energies, this source produces copious emission at 13 nm and 11.6 nm, the preferred wavelengths for EUV projection lithography, with negligible target operation costs. Extension of this source to other wavelengths is considered.
