    摘要: A radiation source is constructed and arranged to produce extreme ultraviolet radiation. The radiation source includes a chamber, a first electrode at least partially contained in the chamber, a second electrode at least partially contained in the chamber, and a supply constructed and arranged to provide a discharge gas to the chamber. The first electrode and the second electrode are configured to create a discharge in the discharge gas to form a plasma so as to generate the extreme ultraviolet radiation. The source also includes a gas supply constructed and arranged to provide a gas at a partial pressure between about 1 Pa and about 10 Pa at a location near the discharge. The gas is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, helium, and a mixture of hydrogen and helium.
