AbstractSurface periodic structures are generated upon irradiation of a silicon carbide (SiC) thin film by the plasma produced by 40 fs pulses from a Ti:Sapphire laser focused onto a thick low density polyethylene (LDPE) foil facing the SiC film. Independently of the number of laser pulses applied, these structures, with average regular periodicity of 710 nm, are evident throughout all irradiated areas. We attribute their formation to the efficient coupling of the unfocused femtosecond laser pulse with the incoherent extreme ultraviolet component of the laser-generated LDPE plasma.

AbstractSilicon Carbide (SiC) formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has the highest reflectivity in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) of any currently used optical material. The high temperature required for the CVD process, however, limits its suitability for coating optical components. To address this problem thin films have been sputtered onto optical surfaces from CVD βSiC targets. These films, while having reflectivity lower than that of CVD SiC, are nonetheless the best coatings available for reflectance in the spectral region below 1000À. While the initial properties are good, the EUV reflectivity degrades with time after deposition. A relative decrease of about 25% is evident in the reflectivity at 920Â after 2.5 years, and about 85% of this change occurs in the first three months. In fact, a decrease is observed in the minutes following deposition. In this study the degradation is characterized and a mechanism is proposed. Efforts underway to reduce or eliminate the degradation are discussed.
