Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for measuring the level of a radiation fuel in an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation system. In one example, a method for measuring the fuel level includes directing an inspection beam through a fuel tank view port at a top surface of the radiation fuel at a predetermined incident angle. The method can further include receiving 5a portion of the inspection beam reflected by the top surface of the radiation fuel at a sensor located adjacent to the view port. Also, the method can include measuring a distance to the top surface of the radiation fuel, and calculating a fill level of the radiation fuel in the fuel tank based on the measured distance.

Abstract: A conduit suitable for use in a high temperature, high pressure environment, the conduit having an elongate portion made of a first refractory metal and a fitting portion made of a second refractory metal attached to an axial end of the elongate portion. The attachment may be made by welding and the second refractory metal may have a greater yield strength than the first refractory metal.

Abstract: A fluid handling structure for a lithographic apparatus configured to contain immersion fluid to a region, the fluid handling structure having, at a boundary of a space: at least one gas knife opening in a radially outward direction of the space; and at least one gas supply opening in the radially outward direction of the at least gas knife opening relative to the space. The gas knife opening and the gas supply opening both provide substantially pure CO 2 gas so as to provide a substantially pure CO 2 gas environment adjacent to, and radially outward of, the space.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus that includes a first reservoir system including a first fluid reservoir configured to be in fluid communication with a nozzle supply system during operation of the nozzle supply system, a second reservoir system including a second fluid reservoir configured to be, at least part of the time during operation of the nozzle supply system, in fluid communication with the first reservoir system, a priming system configured to produce a fluid target material from a solid matter, and a fluid control system fluidly connected to the priming system, the first reservoir system, the second reservoir system, and the nozzle supply system. The fluid control system is configured to, during operation of the nozzle supply system: isolate at least one fluid reservoir and the nozzle supply system from the priming system, and maintain a fluid flow path between at least one fluid reservoir and the nozzle supply system.

Abstract: A vessel having a seal that is protected from the liquid material within the vessel by a volume of gas. The vessel has a partition that divides the vessel into two volume spaces such that the seal that is in gaseous communication with the first volume space is protected from the liquid material in the second volume space by a volume of gas in the first volume space.
