The reflectivity of Al/Zr multilayers is enhanced by the use of a novel structure. The Al layers are divided by insertion of Si layers. In addition, Si barrier layers are inserted at the Al/Zr interfaces (Zr-on-Al and Al-on-Zr). As a result, crystallization of the Al layer is inhibited and that of Zr is enhanced. In grazing incidence x-ray reflectometry, x-ray diffraction, and extreme ultraviolet measurements, the novel multilayers exhibit lower interfacial roughness compared with traditional multilayer structures, and their reflectivity is increased from 48.2% to 50.0% at a 5° angle of incidence. These novel multilayers also have potential applications in other multilayer systems and the semiconductor industry.

The paper reports on a new Zr/Be/Si/Al multilayer structure that provides record reflectances of up to 67% and a spectral resolution of Δλ = 0.63 nm (λ / Δλ ≈ 27) in the spectral range of 17-20 nm. It is shown that the structure has a high temporal stability of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) optical characteristics.

The proposed model describes the variation of the surface roughness of the multilayer Al/Zr mirror boundary profiles taking into account a random noise source. Theoretically calculated Al/Zr boundary profiles allow one to know real rough boundary statistics including rms roughnesses and correlation lengths and, to obtain rigorously EUV specular and diffuse reflection coefficients.

Electrospray-ionization mass spectrometric studies of poly(methylaluminoxane) (MAO) in the presence of [Cp2 ZrMe2 ], [Cp2 ZrMe(Cl)], and [Cp2 ZrCl2 ] in fluorobenzene (PhF) solution are reported. The results demonstrate that alkylation and ionization are separate events that occur at competitive rates in a polar solvent. Furthermore, there are significant differences in ion-pair speciation that result from the use of metallocene dichloride complexes in comparison to alkylated precursors at otherwise identical Al/Zr ratios.
