Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography is a promising next generation lithography technology. In this radiation regime (wavelength 13.5 nm) advanced multilayer mirrors (MLM) are used as collector and illuminator optics. The mirrors consist of a stack of alternating molybdenum and silicon layer, coated with a dedicated capping material such as Si, Ti, Mo, Pd, Ru, or their oxides. Various contamination dynamics in the lithography tool lead to formation of hydrocarbon layers on the mirror surface. In order to understand these contamination processes the adsorption, bonding and chemical environment of carbonaceous layers on MLM surfaces are investigated with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). A clean reference surface can be obtained by exposing a contaminated mirror surface to reactive species. The influence of these species on the chemical structure of the MLM surface and adsorbed carbonaceous layers was monitored with XPS. Variation of the take-off angle in XPS measurements provided information about the influence of the cleaning process on the structure of the surface, such as intermixing of the underlying layers with the capping layer material.
