Abstract:
A supply system for an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source includes an apparatus configured to be fluidly coupled to a reservoir configured to contain target material that produces EUV light in a plasma state, the apparatus including two or more target formation units, each one of the target formation units including: a nozzle structure configured to receive the target material from the reservoir, the nozzle structure including an orifice configured to emit the target material to a plasma formation location. The supply system further includes a control system configured to select a particular one of the target formation units for emitting the target material to the plasma formation location. An apparatus for a supply system of an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source includes a MEMS system fabricated in a semiconductor device fabrication technology, and the MEMS system including a nozzle structure configured to be fluidly coupled to a reservoir.

Claim (Index 21):
An EUV source comprising:\n an optical source configured to produce an optical beam; a vessel configured to receive the optical beam at a plasma formation location; and a supply system comprising:\n an apparatus configured to be fluidly coupled to a reservoir configured to contain target material that produces EUV light in a plasma state, the apparatus comprising two or more target formation units, each one of the target formation units comprising:\n a nozzle structure configured to receive the target material from the reservoir, the nozzle structure comprising an orifice configured to emit the target material to the plasma formation location; and \n \n a control system configured to select a particular one of the target formation units for emitting the target material to the plasma formation location, wherein the optical beam produced by the optical source is configured to convert the emitted target material to plasma.
