  • Publication number: 20240208142
    Abstract: Provided herein are three-dimensional (3D) printing processes, apparatuses, software, devices, and systems for the production of at least one 3D object printed in a printing cycle, e.g., a 3D printer. The 3D printer describe herein may facilitate safe and accurate printing of 3D objects, e.g., when generated from reactive starting materials. The 3D printer (e.g., comprising a processing chamber, or a build module) may retain a requested (e.g., inert) atmosphere around the material bed and/or 3D object during the printing, e.g., at several 3D printing cycles. The 3D printer may comprise one or more build modules that may have a controller separate from the controller of that of the processing chamber. The 3D printer may comprises a platform that may be automatically constructed. The 3D printing may occur over a long time (e.g., many layers and/or one or more print cycles) without operator intervention and/or down time.

  • Patent number: 11635700
    Abstract: A method for producing a protective buffer flow in an EUV light source and an EUV mask inspection apparatus are provided. The method includes directing light along a light path from the EUV light source toward a collector. A first buffer gas from a buffer gas injector is injected through a plurality of through holes in the collector. The first buffer gas is directed away from a surface of the collector. A second buffer gas is injected from a ring manifold arranged peripherally to the collector and arranged a first distance toward the light path in relation to the collector. The second buffer gas is directed away from the surface of the collector. The first distance corresponds to a distance from the collector where the first buffer gas merges into a single flow.
