摘要:
A turbine blade (1) with a side surface (7) having an aerodynamic profile. The turbine blade (1) further comprises an end surface (6) and is mounted in a turbine, whereby the end surface (6) is delimited by a gap from a casing (8) of the turbine. The end surface (6) comprises a recess (2) which is shaped such that it acts as an improved aerodynamic seal.
摘要:
The extreme ultraviolet light source comprises a production site capable of producing extreme ultraviolet radiation in a laser-produced plasma (3), and a collector optics (6) for collimating the extreme ultraviolet radiation. A pressurized influx of gas forms a gas curtain between the production site and the collector optics (6) in order to protect the collector optics (6) from debris (4) generated at the production site. The gas influx is directed in a way that it follows the surface of the collector optics (6). By thus shielding the collector optics (6) from the debris (4) its lifetime is enhanced. The shielding gas can further be used for cooling the collector optics (6).

摘要:
A droplet dispensing device includes a reservoir for receiving a liquid material, an outlet nozzle in fluid communication with the reservoir and a piezoelectric actuating means acting on the liquid material at the outlet nozzle to exit the outlet nozzle in a sequence of droplets. A piezoelectric actuating means that includes a piston, which is actuated by a piezoelectric actuator at one end and dips the other, free end into the liquid material is provided just upstream of the outlet nozzle.

摘要:
An optical collector (15) for collecting extreme ultraviolet radiation or EUV light generated at a central EUV production site comprises a reflective shell (25). To cope with thermal loading of the collector and avoid deformations, the reflective shell (25) is mounted on a support structure (24), such that a cooling channel (29) is established between the back side of the reflective shell (25) and the support structure (24), the thickness of the reflective shell (25) is substantially reduced, such that the convective heat transfer between the back side of the reflective shell (25) and a cooling medium (26) flowing through the cooling channel (29) dominates the process of removing heat from the reflective shell (25) with respect to heat conduction, and a cooling circuit (33) is connected to the cooling channel (29); to supply a cooling medium (26) to the cooling channel (29) with a controlled coolant pressure and/or mass flow.
摘要:
The invention relates to a beam line (30) for a source of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation, wherein a EUV-radiating plasma is generated by irradiating droplets of a suitable target material with a focused laser beam (5) at a plasma generation point, said beam line (30) comprising within a vacuum chamber (7): a beam delivery system (2) comprising a focusing lens and means for cooling and shielding said focusing lens; a EUV mirror collector (1), which collects and focuses the radiated EUV in a EUV beam (6) at an intermediate focus (IF); a beam dump (3) capable of damping at least a portion of the laser beam (5) without imposing a shadow on the collected and focused EUV beam (6); and an intermediate focus module (4) for blocking particles from leaving the vacuum chamber (7) with the EUV beam (6).
