Abstract:
Offset in the ejection direction of target material droplets is corrected in order to stabilize EUV output in an EUV light source device. An extreme ultraviolet light source device includes a droplet generation device 110 that outputs target material droplets 101 towards a predetermined plasma emission point 103; a charging device 130 that charges the target material droplets 101; a trajectory correction device 140 that generates a force field in the trajectory to correct the travel direction of the charged target material droplets 101a so that the charged target material droplets 101a travel towards the plasma emission point 103; and a laser light source 150 that irradiates, at the plasma emission point 103, a laser beam onto the charged target material to generate plasma thereby.
