Abstract: Degradation of the reflectivity of one or more reflective optical elements in a system for generating EUV radiation is reduced by the controlled introduction of a gas into a vacuum chamber containing the optical element. The gas may be added to the flow of another gas such as hydrogen or alternated with the introduction of hydrogen radicals.

IPC: F16L17/02
Abstract: A target material supply apparatus includes: first and second fluid flow components (1122, 1126) that define an axial flow path when joined together, in which the axial flow path is between a source of target material fluid and a nozzle supply apparatus; and a coupling apparatus configured to seal the joint between the first and second fluid flow components. The coupling apparatus includes a gasket (1105) having an annular shape defining an inner opening that is a part of the axial flow path when seated and sealed. When the gasket is seated between the first and second fluid flow components to thereby seal the joint formed by attaching the first and second fluid flow components, pressure applied to the gasket from target material fluid traversing the gasket inner opening along the axial flow path improves the hermetic function of the seal at the joint. Optionally, a functional insert like e.g. a flow restrictor (1160) can be seated in the gasket.

Abstract: Degradation of the reflectivity of one or more reflective optical elements in a system (SO) for generating EUV radiation is reduced by the controlled introduction of a gas into a vacuum chamber (26) containing the optical element. The gas may be added to the flow of another gas such as hydrogen or alternated with the introduction of hydrogen radicals.

IPC: H05G2/00
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a dose of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation generated by a laser produced plasma (LPP) EUV light source. In one embodiment, a running total of the EUV energy generated over a predetermined number of laser pulses is measured; once that number of pulses is exceeded, the energy from the pulse immediately preceding the most recent predetermined number of pulses is dropped from the running total, so that the running total is from the most recent predetermined number of pulses. If the running total of the EUV energy exceeds a target dose, the next pulse is caused to not hit a droplet. This avoids the unwanted side effects of various prior art solutions, such as needing to miss many droplets in a row, or requiring the laser pulses to be shortened or reduced in power as in other prior art solutions.

Abstract: Apparatus for and method of accelerating droplets used to generate EUV radiation that comprise an arrangement producing a laser beam directed to an irradiation region and a droplet source. The droplet source includes a fluid exiting a nozzle (200) in a stream that breaks up into droplets that then undergo coalescence. A gas provided for the purpose of accelerating the droplets is caused to flow past the nozzle in a streamwise direction.

Abstract: A device and method are disclosed in which a source material delivery system can be reoriented so that the path of the source material is not directly towards an irradiation region in operating conditions in which the path is expected to be unpredictable. A shroud provided to protect the flow of source material from being disrupted is segmented so with one part of the shroud being movable with respect to another part of the shroud so that the movable part can avoid interfering with the path of the source material when it is not directly towards the irradiation region.
