Abstract: A radiation source including a chamber including a plasma formation region, a radiation collector arranged in the chamber, the radiation collector configured to collect radiation emitted at the plasma formation region and to direct the collected radiation to an intermediate focus region, a debris mitigation system configured to direct a first gas flow from the intermediate focus region towards the plasma formation region, and a guiding device arranged in the chamber such that the first gas flow is directed around the guiding device. A system and apparatus for reducing contamination of an inner vessel wall of an EUV vessel is provided. The system and apparatus include inner vessel wall supplies of gas that introduce gas via a plurality of nozzles away from the inner vessel wall. The system and apparatus also optionally include an asymmetric exhaust to exhaust gas from the EUV vessel while providing flow geometries that promote a direction of gas away from the inner vessel wall and an EUV collector within the EUV vessel.

Abstract: A fluid is directed toward a surface of an optical element based on a first flow pattern, the surface of the optica! element including debris and the fluid directed based on the first flow pattern moving at least some of the debris to a first stagnation region at the surface of ths opficai eiement; and the fluid is directed toward the optical element based on a second flow pattern, the fluid directed based on the second flow pattern moving at least some of the debris to a second stagnation region on the surface of the optical element, the second stagnation region and the first stagnation region being different locations at the surface of the optical element. Directing the fluid toward the surface of the optical element based on the second flow pattern removes at least some of the debris from the first stagnation region.

Abstract: In some general aspects, a surface of a structure within a chamber of an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source is cleaned using a method. The method includes generating a plasma state of a material that is present at a location adjacent to a non-electrically conductive body that is within the chamber. The generation of the plasma state of the material includes electromagnetically inducing an electric current at the location adjacent the non-electrically conductive body to thereby transform the material that is adjacent the non-electrically conductive body from a first state into the plasma state. The plasma state of the material includes plasma particles, at least some of which are free radicals of the material. The method also includes enabling the plasma particles to pass over the structure surface to remove debris from the structure surface without removing the structure from the chamber of the EUV light source.
