    摘要: A gas laser apparatus may include: a laser chamber connected through a first control valve to a first laser gas supply source that supplies a first laser gas containing a halogen gas and connected through a second control valve to a second laser gas supply source that supplies a second laser gas having a lower halogen gas concentration than the first laser gas; a purification column that removes at least a part of the halogen gas and a halogen compound from at least a part of a gas exhausted from the laser chamber; a booster pump, connected through a third control valve to the laser chamber, which raises a pressure of a gas having passed through the purification column to a gas pressure that is higher than an operating gas pressure of the laser chamber; and a controller that calculates, on a basis of a first amount of a gas supplied from the booster pump through the third control valve to the laser chamber, a second amount of the first laser gas that is to be supplied to the laser chamber and controls the first control valve on a basis of a result of the calculation of the second amount.

    摘要: A laser gas regeneration system for an excimer laser includes a first pipe capable of supplying a laser chamber with a first laser gas, a second pipe capable of supplying the laser chamber with a second laser gas having a halogen gas concentration higher than that of the first laser gas, a third pipe allowing a gas exhausted from the laser chamber to pass therethrough, a gas refiner that refines the gas having passed through the third pipe, a branch that causes the refined gas to divide and flow into a fourth pipe and a fifth pipe, a first regenerated gas supplier that supplies the first pipe with a gas having divided and flowed into the fourth pipe, and a second regenerated gas supplier that adds a halogen gas to a gas having divided and flowed into the fifth pipe and supplies the second pipe with the halogen-added gas.

    摘要: Problem: to suppress the number of times complete gas replacement in a laser chamber.Solution: this excimer laser apparatus may include a gas supply unit, connected to a first receptacle that holds a first laser gas containing halogen gas and a second receptacle that holds a second laser gas having a lower halogen gas concentration than the first laser gas, that supplies the first laser gas and the second laser gas to the interior of the laser chamber. Then, gas pressure control in which the gas supply unit supplies the second laser gas to the interior of the laser chamber or a gas exhaust unit partially exhausts gas from within the laser chamber, and partial gas replacement control in which the gas supply unit supplies the first laser gas and the second laser gas to the interior of the laser chamber and the gas exhaust unit partially exhausts gas from within the laser chamber sequentially, may be selectively performed.
