Project Roadmap (top level planning):
[…***…]
0. Administrative/Planning
Cymer and Intel will hold, at a minimum, […***…] phone meetings and […***…]
face-to-face progress review meetings. The time and place of the meetings will
be determined later. At every second
progress review meeting, Cymer and Intel will assess the scope and direction of
the remaining part of the agreement and will mutually agree to changes in the
tasks, deliverables, or overall direction, as required. Both parties recognize at the inception of
this aggressive development program that changes in this SOW (including any
detailed specifications cited) may be required due to unforeseen circumstances
or changing priorities. Cymer will make
all reasonable efforts to meet the spirit of the tasks to best advance the
overall progress in EUV light source development in support of the Intel’s […***…] roadmap.
On an annual basis, Cymer and Intel will complete a technology risk
assessment towards achieving HVM EUV source output power and cost-of-ownership
requirements. This assessment will take
into account any new information made available since the last risk assessment.
The external development agreements referenced in the tasks below will be
thoroughly evaluated and prioritized over the first […***…] of the contract. At the first face to face progress review, Cymer will review all
of the external development agreements and the development plans which will
cover […***…] system assemblies,
labs, schedules, external contracts, etc.
1
With Intel’s assistance, Cymer will develop a EUV cost of ownership model to determine the financial feasibility of the “best” EUV source technology path selected. These results will be reviewed at each scope assessment review meeting outlined above.

0.1.9. End Year 3 Executive Review […***…]
1. Evaluate design concepts to produce a robust […***…] EUV light source […***…]
During the first […***…] of the contract, there will be a focus on the investigation of basic concepts and critical issues that will affect the overall technical direction of the development of HVM light sources. These basic studies will lead to the construction of an initial EUV […***…] source capable of demonstrating key performance parameters relevant for the successful implementation of HVM EUV lithography. This prototype system will contain […***…] defined through a series of concept and feasibility (C&F) investigations in each critical area of the […***…] light source system: […***…]. Each C&F study is intended to quickly probe the relevant issues in their respective disciplines with the goal of determining the “best” path for the […***…] and Beta Minus level sources. An initial expected configuration of these elements would be an […***…]. Additionally, […***…] equipment will be constructed to verify EUV source output power. This […***…] prototype system will be able to produce the equivalent of […***…] at the intermediate focus at full geometric efficiency and will serve as a good early representation of the […***…] technology that will be required for the HVM solution.

[…***…] elements have become the favored technical approach to reaching higher EUV power output through […***…]. Previous work at Cymer, and results from the industry, indicate that […***…] are excellent prospects for higher efficiency at […***…]. This result for […***…] has been recently confirmed at several independent labs. Other than our early […***…] investigations, the use of […***…] as a viable source element has so far been ignored in both […***…] and […***…] EUV source applications. A […***…], based on Cymer’s […***…], (see section 1.2.1) will be constructed to carry out direct studies of EUV emission from […***…] targets. Initially, the […***…] will be used to probe the […***…]. These experimental results will also be compared to modeling to determine if […***…] is warranted. After this initial C&F period to verify the fundamental CE properties of these […***…] materials, a more complex […***…] system will be developed and introduced. Further investigations will then be performed to optimize CE approaching the theoretical maximum determined by modeling. Critical variables such as […***…] along with target delivery parameters such as […***…], etc will be examined to determine the optimum system architecture for further development.

1.4. Debris Mitigation and […***…] Technology
Debris mitigation encompasses physical debris generated from the operation of the EUV source (especially with […***…]) and debris that degrades the optical components within the system. It also includes contamination from all sources in the system (such as […***…]) which may interact with optical components causing degradation […***…], or sputtering of other surfaces induced by […***…] from the […***…]. These mechanisms can contribute to the degradation of the system efficiency by either directly sputtering the […***…] and/or […***…]. Cymer will evaluate effective debris mitigation techniques including […***…] to mitigate the effects of the above mechanisms.
6
Cymer will also evaluate the […***…] with several witness samples. […***…] is known to be highly reactive with most materials, so Cymer will also investigate manufacturing methods and materials that are immune to these reactive effects. A critical question that will be answered during this initial phase of investigation is whether […***…] can be fully removed from the […***…] without damage and if some […***…] remain, whether they can be removed non-destructively. Further, Cymer will investigate contamination protection techniques to prevent contamination of other system optics such as the […***…]. Cymer will also design a “clean” […***…] that minimizes the sources of contamination and allows for easy serviceability of all of the consumable components. This vessel will be an integral part of the […***…] system and will house the […***…] system, the […***…] system, and all necessary […***…] to verify system performance.
