    Abstract: A lithography system is provided capable of deterring contaminants, such as tin debris from entering into the scanner. The lithography system in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure includes a processor, an extreme ultraviolet light source, a scanner, and a hollow connection member. The light source includes a droplet generator for generating a droplet, a collector for reflecting extreme ultraviolet light into an intermediate focus point, and a light generator for generating pre-pulse light and main pulse light. The droplet generates the extreme ultraviolet light in response to the droplet being illuminated with the pre-pulse light and the main pulse light. The scanner includes a wafer stage. The hollow connection member includes an inlet that is in fluid communication with an exhaust pump. The hollow connection member provides a hollow space in which the intermediate focus point is disposed. The hollow connection member is disposed between the extreme ultraviolet light source and the scanner.

    Abstract: A method for generating light is provided. The method further includes measuring a period of time during which one of targets from a fuel target generator passes through two detection positions. The method also includes exciting the targets with a laser generator so as to generate plasma that emits light. In addition, the method includes adjusting at least one parameter of the laser generator according to the measured period of time, when the measured period of time is different from a predetermined value, wherein the parameter of the laser generator which is adjusted according to the measured period of time includes a frequency for generating a laser for illuminating the targets.

    Abstract: A method for generating EUV radiation is provided. The method includes generating a target droplet with a target droplet generator. The method further includes recording an image of the target droplet on a first image plane to detect a first position of the target droplet. The method also includes recording an image of the target droplet on a second image plane to detect a second position of the target droplet. In addition, the method includes projecting a laser pulse onto the target droplet when the target droplet is located on a focus plane. The method further includes adjusting at least one parameter of the target droplet generator according to the first position and the second position.
