ABSTRACT:
Method for obtaining extreme ultraviolet radiation and a source thereof, application in lithography.According to the invention, at least a solid target (28) is used, emitting extreme ultraviolet radiation by interaction with a laser beam focussed on a face (30) of the target. This target is able to emit a portion of the radiation from the opposite face (37) and this portion is collected and transmitted.
