Thermal Stability of Mo-Based Multilayers Fabricated by rf Sputtering,

Abstract

Mo-based periodic multilayers such as Mo/Si and Mo/B4C show great promise as reflectors for soft x-ray reduction lithography 1-3). The thermal stability of multilayers is one of the most important factors for ensuring the reliable performance. The Mo/Si and Mo/B4C multilayers show high reflectivity in the 8 nm - 15 nm region at normal incidence. The purpose of this paper is to present the resulting changes of layered and 'crystal structures of the Mo/Si and Mo/B4C multilayers upon thermal annealing.
