Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005015602A2] In a gas discharge source, in particular for generating extreme ultraviolet and/or soft X rays, a gas-filled chamber (3) is arranged between two electrodes (1, 2) and houses devices for letting in and pumping away gas, and an electrode (1) has a radiation exit opening (5) that defines an axis of symmetry (4). The improvements proposed consist in the arrangement of a diaphragm (6) between the two electrodes (1, 2), the diaphragm (6) working as a differential pumping stage and having at least one opening (7) located on the axis of symmetry (4).
