Abstract

We report results of experiments connected with surface modification of materials with an intense extreme ultraviolet (EUV) laser beam. Irradiated by the laser beam from a discharge-plasma EUV source (with wavelength of 46.9 nm) based on a high-current capillary discharge driver, the samples have been investigated by atomic-force microscope (AFM). The laser beam is focused with a spherical Si/Sc multilayer-coated mirror on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), gold-covered- PMMA and gallium arsenide (GaAs) samples. It turned out that desorption and ablation regimes, which are observed in all these cases strongly depends on substrate materials.
