Abstract:
A method is described for measuring a moving property of a target. The method includes: forming a remaining plasma that at least partially coincides with an extended target region, the remaining plasma being a plasma formed from an interaction between a prior target and a prior radiation pulse in a target space; releasing a current target along a trajectory toward the target space that is at least partly overlapping the extended target region; determining one or more moving properties of the current target when the current target is within the extended target region and after a prior and adjacent target has interacted with a prior radiation pulse in the target space; and if any of the determined one or more moving properties of the current target are outside an acceptable range, then adjusting one or more characteristics of a radiation pulse directed toward the target space.

Claim (Index 21):
The method of  claim 19 , further comprising:\n directing a radiation pulse toward the target space, the radiation pulse converting at least part of the target into plasma that emits extreme ultraviolet light when the radiation pulse interacts with the target, and prior to directing the radiation pulse toward the target space, directing a preliminary radiation pulse toward the target in the target space to deliver energy to the target to modify a geometric distribution of the target.
