The temperature rise in a Mo/a-Si multilayer x-ray reflective film due to radiation absorption is modeled for the first condenser mirror in a projection lithography system such as the one designed by the Advanced Microtechnology Program at LLNL. The radiation load is pulsed at 1000 Hz with a time average intensity of 500mW/cm{sup 2}. This intensity is the expected maximum on the first condenser mirror. The temperature rise is calculated using the integral transform technique. The film is assumed to have the thermal properties of its poorly conducting substrate, yielding a more conservative (higher) temperature estimate. The surface temperature rise is found to range between 35.6{degrees}C and 76.3{degrees}C. The stress due to this rise is greatest in the molybdenum film and ranges between 73MPa and 166MPa compressive. This fluctuating stress level, however, is believed to be insufficient, by a factor of five or so, to cause fatigue failure of the film
