Abstract:
A method for a lithography exposure process is provided. The method includes irradiating a target droplet with a laser beam to create an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light. The method further includes reflecting the EUV light with a collector. The method also includes discharging a cleaning gas over the collector through a gas distributor positioned next to the collector. A portion of the cleaning gas is converted to free radicals before the cleaning gas leaves the gas distributor, and the free radicals are discharged over the collector along with the cleaning gas.

Claim (Index 3):
The method for a lithography exposure process as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the free radicals and the cleaning gas are supplied to a central area of the collector through which the laser beam passes the collector to irradiate the target droplet.
