Abstract

Provided is an extreme ultra-violet (EUV) beam generation apparatus using multi-gas cell modules in which a gas is prevented from directly flowing into a vacuum chamber by adding an auxiliary gas cell serving as a buffer chamber to a main gas cell, a diffusion rate of the gas is decreased, a high vacuum state is maintained, and a higher power EUV beam is continuously generated.
