    Abstract: A chamber device may include a concentrating mirror, a central gas supply port, an inner wall, an exhaust port, a recessed portion, and a lateral gas supply port. The recessed portion may be on a side lateral to the focal line and recessed outward from the inner wall when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the focal line. The lateral gas supply port is formed at the recessed portion and may supply gas toward gas supplied from the central gas supply port so that a flow direction of the gas supplied from the central gas supply port is bent from a direction along the focal line toward the exhaust port and an internal space of the recessed portion.

    Abstract: An extreme ultraviolet light generation system may include a chamber, a first partition wall having at least one opening which provides communication between a first space and a second space, an EUV light concentrating mirror located in the second space and configured to concentrate extreme ultraviolet light generated in a plasma generation region located in the first space, a first gas supply port formed at the chamber, and a gas exhaust port formed in the first partition wall, a distance between the center of the plasma generation region and an edge of the at least one opening being equal to or more than a stop distance LSTOP [mm] calculated by the following equation: LSTOP=272.8·EAVG0.4522·P−1 EAVG [eV] representing average kinetic energy of ions generated in the plasma generation region and P [Pa] representing a gas pressure inside the first partition wall.

    Abstract: An extreme ultraviolet light generation apparatus includes a chamber device, a concentrating mirror, an exhaust port, and a central gas supply port. The exhaust port is formed at the chamber device and is formed on the side lateral to a focal line and opposite to the reflection surface with respect to the plasma generation region. The central gas supply port is formed on the side opposite to the exhaust port with respect to the plasma generation region on the supply line passing through the exhaust port, the plasma generation region, and an inner side of a peripheral portion of the reflection surface. The central gas supply port supplies the gas toward the exhaust port along the supply line through the plasma generation region.

    Abstract: An extreme ultraviolet light generation apparatus includes a chamber; a housing extending from an internal space of the chamber to outside of the chamber, surrounding a plasma generation region except on a trajectory of a droplet target and on an optical path of laser light, and including a first opening through which extreme ultraviolet light generated from the plasma passes; a light concentrating mirror arranged in a first space outside the housing at the internal space and reflecting the extreme ultraviolet light having passed through the first opening in a direction different from an incident direction of the extreme ultraviolet light; and a gas supply port provided in the chamber; and a gas exhaust port provided at the housing outside the chamber. An optical axis of the laser light when being radiated to the droplet target is along a direction in which the gas flows in the plasma generation region.
