An experimental study was made of a target consisting of the minimum mass of pure tin (sSn) necessary for the highest conversion to extreme ultraviolet (sEUV) light while minimizing the generation of plasma debris. The minimum-mass target comprised a thin Sn layer coated on a plastic shell and was irradiated with a Nd:YAG laser pulse. The expansion behavior of neutral atoms and singly charged ions emanating from the Sn plasma were investigated by spatially resolved visible spectroscopy. A remarkable reduction of debris emission in the backward direction with respect to the incident laser beam was demonstrated with a decrease in the thickness of the Sn layer. The optimal thickness of the Sn layer for a laser pulse of 9 ns at 7×1010 W/cm2 was found to be 40 nm, at which low-debris emission in the backward direction and a high conversion to 13.5 nm EUV radiation were simultaneously attained.
