Abstract: Some implementations described herein incorporate a heating system to heat a cover of a bucket. A liquified target material, collected by vanes and/or a transport ring within a vessel of an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation source, flows through a drain port of the transport ring and through a conduit that provides the liquified target material to the bucket through an opening of the cover. By heating the cover, the heating system prevents the liquified target material from solidifying at or near the opening before the liquified target material can flow into the bucket. By preventing the solidifying of the liquid target material, a likelihood of a blockage within the conduit and/or the drain port is reduced.
