  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. The use of KrF and ArF excimer lasers as exposure sources for deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography is discussed. Driven by extreme demands on performance, these lasers continually push the state-of-the-art in excimer laser design. Past, present, and future performance characteristics for these lasers are presented.
