    摘要: An extreme ultraviolet light source apparatus, in which a target material is irradiated with a laser beam from a laser apparatus and the target material is turned into plasma, thereby emitting extreme ultraviolet light, may include a burst control unit configured to control irradiation of the target material is irradiated with the laser beam outputted successively in pulses from the laser apparatus when the extreme ultraviolet light is emitted successively in pulses. The target material is prevented from being turned into plasma by the laser beam while the laser beam is outputted successively in pulses from the laser apparatus when the successive pulsed emission is paused.

    摘要: Solid tin (Sn) is used as a target, a CO2 laser is used as an excitation source for the target, and after the size of debris emitted from plasma is decreased to a nanometer or smaller size by exciting the solid tin by a laser beam outputted from the CO2 laser, the emitted debris of a nanometer or smaller size is acted upon so as not to reach the optical element. In accordance with the present invention, in the EUV light source apparatus, the debris emitted together with EUV light from plasma generated by exciting a target within a chamber by a laser beam is prevented from adhering to an optical element provided within the chamber and forming a metal film. As a result, the service life of the optical element can be extended.

    摘要: In a folding screen device pulled in the lateral direction, the widthwise dimension limit of the screen device in the opening and closing direction of the screen is eliminated. A plurality of screen units include movable vertical frame members attached to both ends of a screen expandable in an accordion manner. The vertical frame members are slidable along a lateral frame member of a building opening. Screen guides in the screen units move out and into the interior of the vertical frame member through upper and lower ends thereof in a bent state, and are led along upper and lower ends of the screen in an extended state. A parallel movement mechanism causes the vertical frame members to move in parallel during opening and closing of the screen. The screen units can be arranged in parallel in the building opening by connecting adjacent vertical frame members of the screen units.
