- Summary:
- We observe a dramatic dependence of the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) reflectivity of Mo/Y multilayers on the oxygen content of yttrium. This is explained by a change in microstructure, increase in roughness of the Y layers and not by an increase in absorption due to oxygen in Y layers. We find best reflectivity of 38.4% is achieved with an oxygen content of 25%, which reduces to 32.6% and 29.6% for multilayers manufactured from oxygen free yttrium and 39%-oxygen yttrium, respectively. These results highlight the importance of experimentally determined optical constants as well as interface roughness in multilayer calculations. In addition, lifetime stability of Mo/Y multilayers with different capping layers was monitored for one year. The molybdenum- and palladium-capped samples exhibited low surface roughness and about 4% relative reflectivity loss in one year. The relative reflectivity loss on yttrium-capped sample (yttrium with 39% oxygen) was about 8%. However, the reflectivity loss in all three capping layers occurred within the first 100 days after the deposition and the reflectivity remained stable afterwards.
