Abstract: A system for an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source includes a radical transport system that includes one or more conduits, each of the one or more conduits comprising a sidewall, the sidewall comprising a linear portion and a second portion, the linear portion of the sidewall comprising a first end that defines a first opening, and the second portion of the sidewall comprising one or more openings from an interior of the conduit to an exterior of the conduit, where the second portion of at least one of the one or more conduits is positioned relative to a collector that is inside of a vacuum chamber of the EUV light source with a gap between the collector and the second portion; and a control system.

Abstract: Free radicals that combine with debris that is created by converting a target mixture to plasma that emits EUV light are received at a first opening defined by a first end of a conduit, the conduit including a material that passes the free radicals and the conduit including a sidewall that extends away from the first opening and defines at least one other opening, the at least one other positioned to release the free radicals toward an element that accumulates the debris on a surface. The free radicals in the conduit are directed toward the at least one other opening. The free radicals are passed through the at least one other opening and to the surface of the element to remove the debris from the surface of the element without removing the element from the EUV light source.
