Multilayer mirrors for Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Lithography applications are threatened by various damaging processes. During exposure, the dominating contamination processes are carbonization and oxidation due to adsorption of hydrocarbons and oxygen and their reaction with the mirror surface, reducing the mirror lifetime. One possibility to limit these lifetime risks is to coat the mirror with a dedicated capping material, such as Si, Ti, Mo, Pd, Ru, or their oxides. To study the general interaction mechanisms of adsorbates with the capping materials, organic model molecules are used. In this work, the interaction of 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) with single crystalline Ru(0001) and Ru(1-100) surfaces as well as evaporated thin Ru films is presented. PTCDA molecules are deposited on the Ru surfaces by organic molecular beam epitaxy. The structural and electronic properties of the resulting interfaces are investigated by various surface analytical techniques, including low energy electron diffraction (LEED), scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS).
