    摘要: A target supply device is configured for supplying a target material for generating an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light. The target supply device comprises a target storage unit for storing at least the target material, and a target discharge unit comprising a surface having an opening from which a through-hole extends to communicate with the target storage unit. The target material is discharged through the opening for generating the EUV light. The surface at least around the opening is formed of a material so that the target material has a contact angle greater than 90 degrees with the surface.
