A semiconductor fabrication apparatus comprising a light source configured to emit light, a substrate stage arranged to receive a substrate exposed to the emitted light, a reticle arranged between the substrate stage and the light source, and a reticle stage arranged to receive the reticle. The reticle stage including a lower plate, an upper plate arranged above the lower plate, an actuator connected to the lower plate configured to move in a direction parallel to the upper plate, a first cable slab arranged between the upper plate and the lower plate and connected to one side of the actuator, and a first cable cover that surrounds an outer periphery of the first cable slab and contacts the lower plate when the first cable slab becomes bent.

Semiconductor fabrication apparatus

A method of cleaning a collector of an extreme ultraviolet light source system includes introducing the collector separated from the extreme ultraviolet light source system into a chamber; capturing an optical image of a reflective surface of the collector; measuring a contamination level of the reflective surface by comparing the optical image with a prestored standard image; performing a first cleaning operation if the contamination level exceeds a preset first reference value, the first cleaning operation including cleaning the reflective surface by spraying dry ice particles onto the reflective surface; and performing a second cleaning operation if the contamination level is less than or equal to the preset first reference value. The second cleaning operation includes cleaning the reflective surface by radiating atmospheric plasma onto the reflective surface and measuring a microcontamination level and a damage level of the reflective surface.

Method of cleaning collector of EUV light source system

An extreme ultraviolet (EUV) collector inspection apparatus and method capable of precisely inspecting a contamination state of an EUV collector and EUV reflectance in accordance with the contamination state are provided. The EUV collector inspection apparatus includes a light source arranged in front of an EUV collector to be inspected and configured to output light in a visible light (VIS) band from UV rays, an optical device configured to output narrowband light from the light, and a camera configured to perform imaging from an UV band to a VIS band. An image by wavelength of the EUV collector is obtained by using the optical device and the camera and a contamination state of the EUV collector is inspected.
