Abstract

EUV source community is interested in evaluating an alternative method based on high repetition rate FEL, to avoid a risk of the potential source power limit by the plasma based technology. Present SASE FEL pulse (typically 0.1mJ, 100fs, 1 mm diameter) has higher beam fluence than the resist ablation threshold, and high spatial coherence which results in speckle and interference patterns, and random longitudinal mode spikes of high peak power micro pulses, which is not favourable to resist chemistry. This paper discusses on the required technological assessment and lowest risk approach to construct a prototype, based on superconducting linac and cryogenic undulator, to demonstrate a MHz repetition rate, high average power 13.5nm FEL equipped with specified optical components, for best optimization in EUVL application, including a scaling to 6.7nm wavelength region.
