Abstract: A cup to hold liquid Xe is disposed in a vacuum chamber. The cup has an open top. A piezoelectric transducer is disposed in the cup to generate acoustic waves through the liquid Xe in the cup. The acoustic waves create liquid Xe droplets that fly out of the cup. A laser may generate laser-beam pulses, which are focused by optics onto respective liquid Xe droplets that have flown out of the cup, to generate EUV light.

Abstract: A light source includes a rotatable drum, an exhaust tube coupled to the rotatable drum to exhaust nitrogen gas from an interior of the rotatable drum, a feed tube situated within the exhaust tube to provide liquid nitrogen to the interior of the rotatable drum, and a casing to surround at least a portion of the exhaust tube. The light source also includes a rotary air bearing between the exhaust tube and the casing, to allow the exhaust tube to rotate with the rotatable drum.
