Patent ID: 7999241

Claim:
An extreme ultraviolet light source apparatus generating an extreme ultraviolet light from plasma generated by irradiating a target with a laser light, the extreme ultraviolet light source apparatus comprising: a magnetic field generator which generates a magnetic field region around a direction of the magnetic field passing through a plasma region in which the plasma is to be generated and converges charged particles including ion emitted from the plasma region toward the direction of the magnetic field; a first charged particle collector (receiver) mounted at both sides of an axis of the magnetic field in the magnetic field region in order to collect (receive) the charged particles converged by the magnetic field; a target supply unit supplying a target from a nozzle located outside a converging region in which the charged particles are to be converged inside the magnetic field region in an extreme ultraviolet light generating chamber; and a target collector located at a position opposite to the nozzle, the target collector collecting a residual target which does not contribute to generation of the plasma.
