  • 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.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides three-dimensional (3D) printing methods, apparatuses, and systems using, inter alia, a controller that regulates formation of at least one 3D object (e.g., in real time during the 3D printing); and a non-transitory computer-readable medium facilitating the same. For example, a controller that regulates a deformation of at least a portion of the 3D object. The control may be in situ control. The control may be real-time control during the 3D printing process. For example, the control may be during a physical-attribute pulse.
