Patent number: 10538859Abstract: A method is disclosed involving depositing a neutral orientation template layer onto a substrate after formation of chemical epitaxy or graphoepitaxy features on the substrate, but before deposition and orientation of a self-assemblable polymer. The orientation layer is arranged to bond with the substrate but not with certain features, so that it may be easily removed by vacuum or rinsing with organic solvent. The neutral orientation layer has a chemical affinity to match that of blocks in the self-assemblable polymer so that blocks of differing types wet the neutral orientation layer so that domains in the self-assembled polymer may lie side by side along the substrate surface, with interfaces normal to the substrate surface. The resulting aligned and oriented self-assembled polymer may itself be used as a resist for device lithography of the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2011Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Emiel Peeters, Wilhelmus Sebastianus Marcus Maria Ketelaars, Johan Frederik Dijksman, Sander Frederik Wuister, Roelof Koole, Christianus Martinus Van Heesch

Patent number: 10481498Abstract: Droplet generators, such as used in an EUV radiation source, and associated EUV radiation sources and lithographic apparatuses. A droplet generator can include a nozzle assembly to emit the fuel as droplets, the nozzle assembly being within a pressurized environment at substantially the same pressure as the fuel pressure within the droplet generator. A droplet generator can include an actuator in contact with and biased against a pump chamber by means of a biasing mechanism having an actuator support biased against the actuator. The actuator acts on the fuel within the pump chamber to create droplets. The actuator support has a material with a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than its surrounding structure, such that it is moveable within the surrounding structure at ambient temperature, but expands against the surrounding structure at an operating temperature, so as to clamp the actuator support against the surrounding structure at the operating temperature.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2016Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Johan Frederik Dijksman, Bastiaan Lambertus Wilhelmus Marinus van de Ven, Koen Gerhardus Winkels, Theodorus Wilhelmus Driessen, Georgiy O.

Patent number: 10222693Abstract: A method of aligning a template and a substrate for imprint lithography involves using a mask pattern of the template and a luminescent marker pattern of the substrate, the method including aligning the template mask pattern and the substrate marker pattern using a radiation intensity measurement of radiation emitted by the luminescent marker pattern and having passed the template mask pattern. The mask pattern and the luminescent marker pattern may each be shaped to provide a turning point in the intensity of detected radiation emitted from the marker pattern, and passing through the mask pattern to a detector, as a function of relative displacement at the aligned position. The displacement of the template and substrate may be aligned by identifying the turning point in radiation intensity. The marker pattern may be fluorescent with the emitted radiation excited by a radiation source.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2011Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Johan Frederik Dijksman, Anke Pierik, Sander Frederik Wuister, Roelof Koole
