Extreme ultraviolet light source with a debris-mitigated and cooled collector optics
Abstract:
The extreme ultraviolet light source comprises a production site capable of producing extreme ultraviolet radiation in a laser-produced plasma (3), and a collector optics (6) for collimating the extreme ultraviolet radiation. A pressurized influx of gas forms a gas curtain between the production site and the collector optics (6) in order to protect the collector optics (6) from debris (4) generated at the production site. The gas influx is directed in a way that it follows the surface of the collector optics (6). By thus shielding the collector optics (6) from the debris (4) its lifetime is enhanced. The shielding gas can further be used for cooling the collector optics (6).
