    Abstract: An excimer laser apparatus includes a gas supply unit, connected to a first receptacle that holds a first laser gas containing halogen gas and a second receptacle that holds a second laser gas having a lower halogen gas concentration than the first laser gas, that supplies the first laser gas and the second laser gas to the interior of the laser chamber. Gas pressure control in which the gas supply unit supplies the second laser gas to the interior of the laser chamber or a gas exhaust unit partially exhausts gas from within the laser chamber, and partial gas replacement control in which the gas supply unit supplies the first laser gas and the second laser gas to the interior of the laser chamber and the gas exhaust unit partially exhausts gas from within the laser chamber sequentially, may be selectively performed.

    Abstract: A laser unit management system may include a server configured to hold first information provided with access limitation that allows an access with a first access authorization, second information provided with access limitation that allows an access with a second access authorization, and third information provided with access limitation that allows both an access with the first access authorization and an access with the second access authorization; and a laser unit including a laser output section and a controller, the laser output section being configured to output pulsed laser light toward an exposure unit that is configured to perform wafer exposure, the controller being configured to store the first information, the second information, and the third information in the server. The second information may include wafer-exposure-related information on the exposure unit and laser-control-related information on the laser unit that are in association with each other.

    Abstract: The line narrowed laser apparatus configured to perform a plurality of burst oscillations including a first burst oscillation and a second burst oscillation next to the first burst oscillation to output a pulse laser beam. The line narrowed laser apparatus comprises a laser resonator, a chamber provided in the laser resonator, a pair of electrodes provided in the chamber, an electric power source configured to apply a pulsed voltage to the pair of electrodes, a wavelength-selecting element provided in the laser resonator, a spectral width varying unit provided in the laser resonator, a wavelength variable unit configured to change a selected wavelength selected by the wavelength-selecting element, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the wavelength variable unit based on an amount of control of the spectral width varying unit in a period from a time of ending the first burst oscillation to a time of starting the second burst oscillation.
