Frequently Asked Questions

The EQ-10 is a compact, easy-to-use, reliable, and cost-effective light source, based on Energetiq’s proven Electrodeless Z-Pinch™ technology using Xenon gas.

The EQ-10 EUV source is uniquely suited for metrology and research applications, such as EUV Metrology, EUV Resist Development, EUV Inspection, and EUV Microscopy.

The EQ-10 is capable of delivering up to 10 Watts of in-band EUV into 2π steradians and will run continuously at pulse repetition rates of up to 2 kHz.

Energetiq’s unique technology is based on a Z-pinch plasma, but it avoids electrodes entirely by inductively coupling the current into the plasma. The plasma in the Energetiq source is magnetically confined away from the source walls, minimizing the heat load and reducing debris.

The EQ-10 has low cost of ownership due to low Xenon flow rate, minimized consumable cost, and small footprint. It also has proven reliability with patented Electrodeless Z-Pinch™ technology and CE Mark and SEMI S2-0703 compliant.
