Apparatus and method for multiplexed multiple discharge plasma produced sources
Abstract:
An apparatus for producing EUV light, including: a plate with pluralities of through-bores; at least one power system; and a plurality of discharge plasma devices disposed in the through-bores. Each device includes: a respective plasma electrode forming at least part of a respective plasma-producing region; a respective magnetic core embedded in the plate and aligned with the respective plasma electrode in a radial direction and configured to create a respective magnetic field within the respective plasma-producing region; and a respective feed system arranged to supply an ionizable material to the respective plasma-producing region. The power system is configured to supply electrical power to the plasma electrodes to create respective electric fields in the respective plasma-producing regions. The combination of the respective electric field and the respective magnetic fields is arranged to create respective plasma from the ionizable material, the respective plasma creating respective EUV light.
