摘要:
A phosphor sheet-forming resin composition uses a low-cost resin material having high light fastness and low visible light absorption and is capable of providing a phosphor sheet at low cost with deterioration of a phosphor due to moisture being suppressed. The phosphor sheet-forming resin composition contains a film-forming resin composition and a powdery phosphor that emits fluorescence when irradiated with excitation light. The film-forming resin composition contains a hydrogenated styrene-based copolymer, and uses a sulfide-based phosphor as the phosphor. Examples of the hydrogenated styrene-based copolymer include hydrogenated products of styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymers. CaS:Eu is used as a preferred sulfide-based phosphor.

A phosphor sheet-forming resin composition uses a low-cost resin material having high light fastness and low visible light absorption and is capable of providing a phosphor sheet at low cost with deterioration of a phosphor due to moisture being suppressed. The resin composition contains a film-forming resin composition and a powdery phosphor that emits fluorescence when irradiated with excitation light. The film-forming resin composition used contains a polyolefin copolymer component and a maleic anhydride component. A sulfurized phosphor, an oxide-based phosphor, or a phosphor mixture thereof is preferably used as the phosphor.

An EUV light source apparatus in which contamination or damage of optical elements and other component elements by debris can be suppressed to realize longer lives of them. The EUV light source apparatus is an apparatus for radiating extreme ultraviolet light by generating plasma of a target material within a chamber, and includes: a first laser unit for applying a first laser beam to the target material to generate pre-plasma; a second laser unit for applying a second laser beam to the pre-plasma to generate a main plasma for radiating the extreme ultraviolet light; and a magnetic field generating unit for generating a magnetic field within the chamber to control a state of at least one of the pre-plasma and the main plasma.

Solid tin (Sn) is used as a target, a CO2 laser is used as an excitation source for the target, and after the size of debris emitted from plasma is decreased to a nanometer or smaller size by exciting the solid tin by a laser beam outputted from the CO2 laser, the emitted debris of a nanometer or smaller size is acted upon so as not to reach the optical element. In accordance with the present invention, in the EUV light source apparatus, the debris emitted together with EUV light from plasma generated by exciting a target within a chamber by a laser beam is prevented from adhering to an optical element provided within the chamber and forming a metal film. As a result, the service life of the optical element can be extended.
