Abstract: A gas discharge chamber that uses a calcium fluoride crystal which reduces a breakage due to mechanical stress (window holder and laser gas pressure), thermal stress from light absorption, and the like, increases the degree of linear polarization of output laser, and suppresses degradation due to strong ultraviolet (ArF, in particular) laser light irradiation. A first window (2) and a second window (3) of the gas discharge chamber have an incident plane and an emitting plane in parallel with a (111) crystal plane of their calcium fluoride crystal. With respect to an arrangement where laser light entering the calcium fluoride crystal passes through a plane including a axis and a axis of each of the first window (2) and the second window (3) as seen from inside the chamber (1), the first window (2) and the second window (3) are arranged in positions rotated in the same direction by the same angle about their axis.

Abstract: An extreme ultraviolet light generation apparatus may include a chamber, a target supply device configured to successively supply targets into the chamber, and an extreme ultraviolet light collector mirror including a reflective surface having a through-hole at the center thereof. The reflective surface may reflect and collect extreme ultraviolet light generated at a predetermined emission cycle because of irradiation of the successively supplied targets with a laser beam. A gas ejection device may be disposed in the through-hole to jut out from the reflective surface and have a gas ejection opening to eject etching gas for debris onto the reflective surface. The gas ejection device may be configured so that the etching gas takes a longer time than the predetermined emission cycle to reach the through-hole-side end of effective reflective area of the reflective surface after being ejected from the gas ejection opening.
