Extreme Ultra-Violet (EUV) lithography utilizes Laser Produced Plasma (LPP) technology to generate EUV light with a 13.5 nm wavelength by bombarding tin liquid droplets with high-power lasers. Piezoelectric high-temperature nozzle based on inverse-piezoelectric effect is the key component for obtaining high-frequency tin droplet targets. Here, breakthroughs have been made in the composition design, fine preparation of high-temperature micro piezoelectric ceramic tubes that can withstand temperatures up to 250 ℃, and structure design, fabrication and precise driving control of the piezoelectric high-temperature nozzle. Based on a self-constructed high-temperature tin droplets generation platform, a stable output of high-temperature tin droplet targets with repetition frequency of 20 kHz and diameter of 100 μm is successfully achieved.
