EXTREME ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT SOURCE OBSCURATION BAR AND METHODS

An extreme ultraviolet (EUV) source includes a source vessel enclosing at least in part a volume in which, when in use, EUV light is transmitted by a collector from a primary focus to an intermediate focus along an optical axis: a shaft, the shaft having a length extending from a first end to a second end of the shaft.Math.the shaft including a passage, the passage extending at least partially along the length of the shaft, the first end of the shaft attached to an interior surface of the source vessel and the second end positioned inside the source vessel; a head (130) connected to the second end of the shaft, the head intersecting the optical axis, the head having an exposed surface (134) exposed to the primary focus, the exposed surface having one or more apertures therein, the one or more apertures being in fluid communication with the passage.
