Initiating Laser-Sustained Plasma

View page
US Patent:
8259771, Sep 4, 2012
Filed:
Jul 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/839332
Inventors:
Anatoly Shchemelinin - Pleasanton CA, US
Ilya Bezel - Sunnyvale CA, US
Matthew W. Derstine - Los Gatos CA, US
Assignee:
KLA-Tencor Corporation - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
H01S 3/223
H01S 3/091
US Classification:
372 55, 372 76, 372 85
Abstract:
A laser-sustained plasma light source with a bulb for enclosing a relatively cool gas environment, and an electrode disposed at least partially within the gas environment. A power supply applies a potential to the electrode, where the power supply is sufficient to create a corona discharge at the electrode within the gas environment, and the power supply is not sufficient to produce an arc discharge within the gas environment. The corona discharge thereby produces a relatively heated gas environment. A pump laser source focuses a laser beam within the gas environment, where the laser beam is sufficient to ignite a plasma in the relatively heated gas environment, but is not sufficient to ignite a plasma in the relatively cool gas environment.

Abstract:
A method of sustaining a plasma, by focusing a first wavelength of electromagnetic radiation into a gas within a volume, where the first wavelength is substantially absorbed by a first species of the gas and delivers energy into a first region of a plasma having a first size and a first temperature.

Assignee:
KLA-TENCOR CORPORATION - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
B01J 19/12
US Classification:
2504921
Abstract:
A method for sustaining a plasma includes providing a volume of a gas; generating illumination of a first selected wavelength; and forming a first plasma species in a first region of the gas and a second plasma species in a second region of the gas by focusing the illumination of the first wavelength into the volume of gas, the first region having a first average temperature and a first size, the second region having a second average temperature and a second size, the illumination of the first selected wavelength transmitted by the second plasma species, the illumination of the first selected wavelength absorbed by the first plasma species by tuning the first selected wavelength of the illumination to an absorption line of the first plasma species, the absorption line being associated with an ionic absorption transition or an excited neutral transition of the first plasma species.

Laser Sustained Plasma Bulb Including Water

View page
US Patent:
20140042336, Feb 13, 2014
Filed:
Mar 8, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/790084
Inventors:
Anatoly Shchemelinin - Pleasanton CA, US
Matthew Alan Panzer - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
KLA-TENCOR CORPORATION - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
H01J 61/02
US Classification:
250424, 250423 R
Abstract:
A wafer inspection system includes a laser sustained plasma (LSP) light source that generates light with sufficient radiance to enable bright field inspection. Reliability of the LSP light source is improved by introducing an amount of water into the bulb containing the gas mixture that generates the plasma. Radiation generated by the plasma includes substantial radiance in a wavelength range below approximately 190 nanometers that causes damage to the materials used to construct the bulb. The water vapor acts as an absorber of radiation generated by the plasma in the wavelength range that causes damage. In some examples, a predetermined amount of water is introduced into the bulb to provide sufficient absorption. In some other examples, the temperature of a portion of the bulb containing an amount of condensed water is regulate to produce the desired partial pressure of water in the bulb.
