Modular Design for Easy Integration

Energetiq’s uniquely designed EUV light sources minimize heat load and reduce debris, giving you control over peak brightness and peak power in a compact, modular unit.

Advancements in fields such as semiconductor lithography, mask blank inspection, materials research and life sciences research rely on plasma-based light sources that generate radiation between the deep ultraviolet and x-ray regions (10 to 50 nm). Traditional method of producing extreme UV light uses electrodes, which generate heat and produce unwanted debris – not suitable for production environments.

Energetiq’s Electrodeless Z-Pinch™ EUV sources use a patented design that inductively couples the current into the plasma to generate ultrashort-wavelength UV radiation in a clean, cool way. The modular design delivers high up-time and field-proven reliability with the flexibility of user-controlled outputs for optimized power and brightness.

  • Ease of use and reliability suitable for photoresist R&D
  • Minimal heat load
  • Excellent spatial stability
  • High repetition rate
  • Stable, repeatable power output
  • Simple, flexible optical interface
  • CE Mark and SEMI S2-0715 compliant

How It Works

Electrodeless Z-Pinch™ Technology

Clean Operation, Small Plasma Size, and Maximum Flexibility

Energetiq’s unique technology is also based on a Z-pinch plasma, but it avoids electrodes entirely by inductively coupling the current into the plasma. The plasma in the Energetiq source is magnetically confined away from the source walls, minimizing the heat load and reducing debris.
