Abstract

Novel metal-oxide multilayer mirrors for water-window wavelengths have been already studied and then fabricated by atomic layer deposition (ALD) or atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) methods which have the self-limiting nature of the surface reactions and can control thickness on an atomic scale over large areas. The reason why metal-oxide multilayer mirrors are effective in the water-window wavelength is that they can prevent the formation of various alloys at the interface resulting in scattering loss, and the absorption of oxygen in oxides is negligible at the wavelength. In this study, high and low refractive materials were chosen to be TiO₂ and Al₂O₃ respectively, because they can be fabricated by ALD or ALE methods and Ti L-absorption edge is located at 2.73nm. We investigated the atomic-scale growth of these films and then found that the growth rates could be constant. Moreover, Al₂O₃/TiO₂ multilayer mirrors were fabricated by the ALE method. As a result, the soft x-ray reflectivity of the 10-bilayer mirror was 1.54%, approximately.
