The history of semiconductor lithography and the need for excimer lasers as light sources in semiconductor lithography are reviewed. The application of all-solid-state high-voltage pulse power supply in excimer laser for lithography is emphasized. The high-power semiconductor switch combined with multi-stage magnetic pulse compression switch is used to replace the traditional thyristor-based high-voltage pulse power supply, and a long life operation of the excimer laser at a high repetition rate is achieved. The progress of the research on the all-solid-state high-voltage pulse power supply of excimer lasers in the past ten years of Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics of Chinese Academy of Sciences is also introduced. Finally, the future demand for all-solid-state pulsed power sources for semiconductor lithography sources is expected.
