Compact (EUV & X-ray) Light Sources
26 March 2018 – 28 March 2018 Hilton Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France
Emerging, compact extreme-ultraviolet and x-ray sources that exhibit high brightness and are small enough to be installed in laboratories at educational and research institutions, manufacturing facilities, hospitals, and other suitable sites, will revolutionize scientific and technical disciplines, complementing both existing and future large scale synchrotron radiation and free-electron laser sources. Applications span a wide range including biomedical, semiconductor manufacturing, fundamental and applied research, environmental engineering, industrial non-destructive testing and screening, and defense and security.
The aim of the Compact EUV and X-ray Light Source meeting is to assemble experts in both source technologies and their applications to present and exchange ideas and improve community wide understanding of current and future source capabilities, and current and future application needs. At this meeting the latest results in the development of these sources will be presented as well as descriptions of efforts to mature the technology so that they meet the requirements needed in order to transition the technology to industrial and medical applications. Conference topics will include relevant applications and source concepts and technologies in the EUV through hard-ray regime.
The collocation with the High-Intensity Sources and High-Field Phenomena (HILAS) meeting provides a unique opportunity to expand interaction with multidisciplinary groups that shares a broad range of interests and goal.

Compact Sources and Chip-Making
In the past year, EUV LPP exposure sources have reached satisfactory power levels, achieving the long-established milestone of 250W. With EUV exposure tools, the source remains the leading cause of system down-time, including both routine scheduled maintenance as well as unplanned corrective actions. The nature of LPP source design leads to contamination, exposure dose errors, and the need for additional power to mitigate such effects. Compact sources offer possible opportunities in support of chip-making, including not only the option to replace the exposure source but also to provide sources for mask metrology (both lens and lens-less) as well as to support materials research and development.
About the Speaker
Britt joined the Photolithography department at Intel’s Portland Technology and Development organization in 1996 after completing her B.S. degree in Metallurgical Engineering and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Britt has been involved in many aspects of lithography development in PTD, including her current role as program manager of Intel’s EUV lithography program along with development of scanner reticle and frame graphics as well as the integration of new lithography tool platforms into Intel factories.
