    Abstract: A target supply device may include a first containing member configured to contain a target substance; a second containing member configured to contain the target substance flowing from the first containing member; a ring-shaped sealing portion which is formed integrally with one of the first containing member and the second containing member, and is brought into close contact with the other containing member; and a fastening member which fastens the first containing member and the second containing member to each other so that the first containing member communicates with the second containing member through the communication portion, and presses the sealing portion against the other containing member. Here, the sealing portion being plastically deformed by being pressed against the other containing member by the fastening member to seal a gap between the first containing member and the second containing member around the communication portion due to the plastic deformation.

    Abstract: A filter may include: a first member having a first surface provided with a channel; and a second member set with a second surface thereof covering the channel. The first member may include a first passable portion that allows a fluid to pass between the first surface and a first space, which is defined beside a surface of the first member opposite to the first surface, through a first area of the channel. The second member may include a second passable portion that allows the fluid to pass between the second surface and a second space, which is defined beside a surface of the second member opposite to the second surface, through a second area of the channel distanced from the first area.

    Abstract: An EUV (Extreme Ultra Violet) light source device ionizes a target material in an ionizer, and supplies the ionized target material to a point of generating a plasma. This reduces the generation of debris. The ionizer simultaneously irradiates laser beams of plural wavelengths corresponding to the excited level of tin on a target material to ionize the target material. The ionized target material is extracted from the ionizer with a high voltage applied from an ion beam extractor, and accelerated and supplied to a plasma generation chamber. When driver laser beam is irradiated on the ionized target material, a plasma is generated, thereby emitting EUV radiation.
